The internet is built on the 'A' server which is a tightly guarded centralized US tool. Commerce lives because the absolute power brokers of the system have chosen to not exercise strong enforcement. The internet technologies are

I made so such point and in fact we have no idea how well or poorly performing/paid these workers were vs their peers. All anyone reading this article could do is speculate, and my opinion stated was my speculation of the articles stat

Absolutely, if we believe the individual's quoted comment as a fact,then certainly this points to discrimination. The problem is that HN isn't a court of law, and quotes made by litigants haven't been litigated for accuracy.

A publisher that has tasted fast cheap low value entries has a hard time justifying risky quality entries when the risk of failure is much higher. We're seeing the reality-tv moment in video games with mobile freemiums and it's fr

At the heart of every SAAS offering is the core of the proposal: It takes money to make money. The same reason why finance related journals have largely kept alive while lifestyle magazines have shrivelled. If a thing costs money but ends u

There's very little value arguing with true believers. When they're finally broke and pushed into the next scheme to rob their money away, they'll finally admit that they knew it was bogus all along and that their involvement

This can probably be chalked up to youre-doing-it-wrong (sorry) but not knowing your precise scenario, it's hard to know what went wrong. Maybe really old versions misbehaved (only started a few years ago and its been smooth sailing),

The system promised other nations for gold, not necessarily US depositors, remember that. Also that this pillar of the financial system only started operating on the gold standard in the 1930's? The system has been dead for as long as

Meat packing is a natural oligopoly, which could be disrupted any time by someone with enough bucks to do it. That's capitalism. Either live with the parasites or be ok with more intervention.

As such, the load balancer itself can probably hold a group of source IPs to use as second-hop solution to this problem as well if we're sincerely talking about load balancers holding a ton of largely idle connections simultaneously. T

Some companies can certainly justify their frothy valuations, and a bunch certainly don't. Many of these companies need the capital infusions to stay afloat, and I can see a bunch folding as capital market risk tolerances start to cont

Let's say I bought a server from Dell. They quote me a cost of $6000. Maybe they assumed I was part of an MVP program that I hadn't been aware of. I have it delivered and installed and later the rep invoices me the price at 1 mill

The creedo has a more specific and probably incorrect message: " we are broken, we need to be fixed. (Implied) I'll fix things". It's easy to attract conservative minded people as a rally cry to your cause when you reach
