I was interested in how you look at security and information privacy, particularly as an important part of your strategy is to aggregate data between services. When designing the service what sort of considerations did you make in this rega

Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't see how it was 'obvious [that] Tiny Post is running these fake accounts as bots in order to fool their users.' The argument seems to be 'Accounts which look like bots are posting on my otherwise dormant acc

Some previous discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=924237 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=927299 I wonder how easy a similar set-up with a Raspberry Pi would be. The option to use the same hardware, but provide a web serv

I was never much of a note taker in class, however most students I observed who were tended to copy verbatim that which the lecturer was presenting, either in slides or on the board. Rarely was there any use of " their own skill and knowled

A lot of the argument seems to be based on the premise that a lecture is not copyrightable because it does not lie in tangible media. This seems to ignore the common practice (at least at my University) of recording every lecture so as to m

For what it's worth, this first appeared in slate [1] and is a few months old. It showed up in HN 86 days ago [2] [1] http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2012/06/long... [2] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4073013

I would love to see a listing of logos ranked by price in today's value. Some measure of how the company's value has changed as a result of the new logo (in the case of a redesign) or how successful the company has been would be interesting

Perhaps even more promising is the effort they appear to be putting in to maintaining the open-sourced project. Obviously Pixar is still using this library, and would love to get fixes and features to fold back into the upstream project, ho

I had assumed that they were blown there by the wind. I'm sure it's just as likely they settled after being kicked up during the landing. [EDIT] From the nasa website [1]: Today's Sol 3 morning and afternoon passes by NASA's Mars Odyssey a

Some of the best known codes that approach the Shannon Limit are the Gallager, or Low-density parity-check, Codes [1], invented by Robert G. Gallager at MIT in 1960. The article goes on to mention Gallager, but doesn't provide many referenc

Bit of history for those who might not know the back story. Mods for Minecraft have been around almost as long as Minecraft has been. These mods took the form of patches to the decompiled .jar archives that the client and server code was di

Thanks for the in-depth reply. The example of HAM radio was a poor one, I was associating it with Low Frequency [1] radio when it in fact covers a much larger spectrum. I agree that telecommunications is a hard subject, and even more so tha

Fundamentally, the two are very different. Whilst the information carrier, photons, is identical in both cases, the medium is extremely different. In the case of fibre we have a highly controlled, flexible medium with extremely good quality

Isn't this how the term funding is normally used? For me 'funding' implies 'providing starting/ongoing capital'. The clarification is a useful one though.

Along with this, the ability to set start and end dates for recurring tips would be great. Build in notifications if a recurring tip is set to stop soon so I can reconsider my donations.

Just to add my 2c, a blog post on this and the reasons behind it are a really good idea. As soon as I saw 'log in' I immediately returned to HN comments to find out what was going on. Many people won't have that luxury, or patience.

Interestingly, they all redirect to a 404 page except Cities/Pre-register, at http://fiber.google.com/cities/ which is a 'broken' link. What could it mean??!?

True, however if you had no idea what Google Fibre was , the knowledge that an announcement is coming is not too exciting.

I think bandwidth will continue to be a problem, no matter how big the pipe gets. The domain of bandwidth restricted problems may shift, but it will almost certainly still be an issue. Historically we seem to be really good at using whateve

Thanks for the context, the page itself was quite devoid of information. I would love to see how this service compares to the roll out of fibre we are seeing in Australia at the moment. There is a lot of resistance from the opposition as th

The thing I took away from it was that they suspected that all muscular pumps work in a similar way. > "My bet is that to get a muscular pump, the electrical activity has got to spread as a wavefront.” They were then able to re-purpose

The biggest concern is maintaining a consistent and high quality service. For example, if the market was to become saturated with drivers undercutting the market, it is plausible that some drivers would be forced out of the market as they a

The graphs you are using here look very similar to Google's stock price history charts[1]. Are you using a shared library, or similar? [1] for example: https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:FB

This was exactly what I thought as well. Using an HTTPS connection is all well and good, but it is not enough. HTTPS is susceptible to man in the middle attacks [1], and securing the params with a pre-shared secret key is essential. The ext
