Well, that was unnecessarily nasty. I'm not sure what motivated this blog post; it's a comment on the original, rehashing much of what the rest of us (me included) already said, but with a few cusses added in. It's disappointing to see this

Aren't we all just trying to speak to customers? In a YC interview? If you considered YC a customer then you definitely went about it the wrong way. The sales pitch is fine for a certain style of customer. It's not in this context. The po

Hmm, my analysis (writing as I go): - Too much "fluff"; his response sounds like a marketer not a builder - In the opening two answers he basically contradicts his description; "co-authored notebooks" vs. "one author for a given note, and a

Unfortunately what your post seems to say, to me, is this; everywhere in India has one or more major problems, of different types. So even if the problems vary across the country it strikes me that their widespread existence reflects an un

Motherboards and HDD's. We had a couple of large RAIDs using commodity TB hard drives and these dropped like flies.

Commodity hardware seems a good/cheap option - and I don't know, this might be fine for them. I built a couple of racks for clustered decryption using commodity hardware; after a few months "burn in" the failure rate proved to be way high

Microwaved tea! :S Required reading: http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/2002/12/a_proper_cup_o... (but in all seriousness interesting article about the problems of not critically addressing things that annoy you)

Well; maybe. But SciFi SE survives - and that would seem to have a similar issue :)

I guess any sufficiently large ‘community’ (there’s not a community on Stack Exchanges, of course; they are fairly anti-community) ends up attracting those wanting to curate the resource and purify it, until those competent to answer and h

Still working through it; a pleasant collection of UI components that, as they say, will be useful to some. But what stands out is the quality of documentation. Very impressive and clear.

IIRC Deep Space 1 used an ion thruster and obtained comparable speeds to voyager.

It comes as an Adobe Air app which launches full screen from Steam & plays the movie. UI is "meh", but not unpleasant. But you also get a DRM free Mp4 in the "%Steam%/Common/Indie Game the Movie" folder :)

Hehe, yeh, I'm not intending to sound argumentative - just throwing out my contrary viewpoint to that of you and Patrick. You've fairly hit the nail on the head, BTW, in noting the problems of transitioning. I'd love to have larger scale pr

You're thinking large scale projects & clients here, though. For smaller scale work and titchy clients (a massive marketplace where some of the most successful consultants I know operate), "daily rate" just doesn't work (YMMV). Neither

The "vote" was mostly a load of crap. But I do have one issue: is if they had liked the Site Governance page and therefore seen updates from that page; if one of their friends voted and clicked a box to send an update to their profile’s ne

This is excellent stuff; it fits a niggling problem I have (i.e. I'm a better programmer than sysadmin, so managing massive data shards is a pain) It's an elegant implementation. From a ~30 minute read through I reckon I can use it to repla

That attitude is disastrous. You're misleading "people", considering them too stupid for the truth and manipulating them for your own ends. i.e. exactly what you're (ostensibly) trying to oppose. Replacing one form of control with another i

What you’re saying is that it is possible to answer the question while staring bewildered at a device you have never seen or interacted with. Based on my life experience so far; this is one of the most important skills to learn. What I’m

I'm not entirely sure what exactly you are trying to say; are you saying that now they have this easy method of extracting phone data they will push for the requirements for extracting that data to be lowered (ala DNA)?

Well in reality they are. Phones are fucking hard to break into. PIN codes are pretty much critical for this sort of analysis :)
