Actually I think hospitals in the US are more profitable than casinos. I believe that was pointed out by the latest Time magazine article. The author said on The Daily Show that the hospital lobbies make the oil and gas industry lobbyist

Yes in Asian cultures there is much more of a stigma with manual labor. It is a huge difference with western countries where work is valued no matter what it is.

Monit will startup a program if it's not running according to it's pid file. In other words if the pid file doesn't exist it will start the program. I use it in deploys by killing a program and letting Monit start it again with the new ve

Monit is another standard program, but I think these these things being compared are really not similar. Aren't upstart and systemd replacements for init.d runlevel scripts? While God & Monit make sure programs are running. I suppose

It was an interesting experiment while it lasted, but I don't think they make sense.

As of the core duo generation, people don't need to upgrade their computers in order to browse the web or use Microsoft Office. Office is the eternal killer app for the masses IMHO (excluding the browser), and it doesn't need the latest ge

Yes noone expects their car insurance to pay for their oil change, but we expect that from health insurance. The model in Singapore is a mandatory health savings plan with catastrophic health coverage.

I had high hopes when JCP announced their new pricing, I hate having to go to a store and find things ridiculuously expensive, then wait for a "sale", collect your coupons and then buy something for what to me is a fair price. The quality

Ross and TJ Maxx are a different category, they get rejects from major department stores. They can't have online stores because they have no fixed inventory. If you can find it, you can get great deals there.

Nothing wrong with standardizing, so standardize on a $100-$500 router instead of a $20,000 router. The point is that some guy made a killing selling gear only a place with 10,000 users needs.

Yes it's funny when they are paying me to do tech support and the first thing i do is google their exact error message, but I know how to hone in on relevant information.

Singapore's model needs to be studied more closely. A mandatory savings plan for catastraphic insurance plus consumers spending for their own health care. I don't know the details but there is a decent amount of literature: http://blog.j

Anything one cannot find the order to one assigns as random or nonsensical? If someone doesn't have the understanding to see higher order patterns, how is calling it random a useful way to understand the higher order pattern?

I think outside the tech world people will find the attack ads useful information. It will create distrust for Google among casual email users and will be succesful for them. Their target audience is not HN viewers. I also had to mentally

That is a relatively small niche, they are looking for something much bigger. I personally can't see the use of wearing one, but then again, i still have a feature phone.

Yes a government response to this sort of guerrila warfare against unnamed attackers will be interesting. They cannot just create strong penalties as the attackers are beyond their jurisdiction. Punishing China for anything within their I

You need to run this with a column store database like Infobright. Postgres is more of a transactional database, Infobright is suited towards the similar large dataset analytics that this is aimed towards.

I think this is a smart move. I know companies who are doing their custom data warehousing using Infobright (another column store database), the free version. I am sure they will be interested to dump a lot of custom scripts and do all th

Readability seems to require a login and an account, etc. There is one that you can just paste the URL and it displays it with different CSS and formatting. I should have bookmarked it.

I also don't understand why all parsing of user input needs to have YAML turned on by default. All this stuff should be turned off. I think it is a fundamental design choice that has to be looked at.

Congratulations on this gem. This is a need that was not filled. I had thought about this, but our requirements changed. BTW, the text does not scale up. And anyone have the name of the website that reformats a page with good CSS, just f
