   Any insight on what's killing your server? I've been recently looking into socket.io's issues with scaling.

   Can't begin to imagine how horrible it must be to be the one informing next of kin of what just happened.

   I think the 404 needs its own 404 (Front page on HN does that to you) :)

   Let me get this straight: Step 1: Start by completely ignoring civil liberties and forcing telecommunication companies to hand over data on their users. Bonus points for giving an NSL so users aren't aware of their breach of privacy. S

   I find it interesting that Ghost, the blogging platform underneath Coding Horror, can't handle HN Front Page. The text on the webpage is blank for me.

   From my limited understanding, I take that this is the issue in SF. There is a lot of regulation issues with building denser housing thus the shortage in supply.

   I think to get a more accurate value per pizza size we need to factor in the associated medical costs of always opting for the larger pizza. </sarcasm>

    To all the HN members who lost a lot of money in this closing, remember the community is here for you. Don't do anything too rash and if you need someone to talk to, myself and most other people would be happy to lend an ear.

    Maybe allow for two options: Option A: Blind trust with some capital gains incentives? Option B: Ability to manage your own portfolio, but can't act on SEC+company news until x hours after publicly disclosed?

    I fail to understand your point. Why would eliminating conflicts of interest be a zero sum game? If somebody's job is to police the players, how could they do it effectively if they have a bias towards certain players? Allowing a confl

    I wish I could upvote this more than once. Aligning government employees interests with the nation's should be #1 priority. Talk about an incentive to do your job well.

    Could you expand on this point? I'm under the assumption that employees wouldn't know the portfolio of the blind trust, hence the blind .

    This is absurd. Why would we ever let regulators of the market be active participants in it. Certain jobs in the government require for one's assets to be in a blind trust for there to be no conflicts of interest. If anyone in the go

    Unfortunately, I think this is the one big issue barring Node from wide adoption. I love Node.js and the surrounding ecosystem, but all these companies fighting one another can't possibly be good for the community.

    I noticed the share funcionality uses a Vagrant URL (vagrantshare.com). Sure enough, when I scrolled to the bottom there was mention of a web service. I imagine this web service will be monitized as it just makes a lot of sense, but hoping

    Racket is my first functional language and its been fun, but is it more of an educational language or is it used in production?

    Wow that's a pretty cool idea. The only issue I see going forward is whether or not the target market can afford the machine. The biggest pro of customizing a PC is the price for performance. I'm able to save quite a bit of $$$ by

    I'm a little confused, is the product just the software or the 'things'/system + software?

    The B-2 Bomber is child's play compared to the F-35's 1 Trillion USD program [1], but the comparison to the LHC's pricetag really puts things in prespective. 1: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03

    I'm a huge fan of Node.js, but I'm getting an uneasy feeling about all the different changes and things happening. I still haven't made up my mind if it's a justified feeling or not.

    I agree with everything you said except for the third option: > tell your current employer about the offer you've been made ... and see if they counter offer. That seems like it would come off as worse than taking the new job. If I
