In my experience CentOS/Redhat is always a pain in the ass. I find Ubuntu/Debian awesome primarily because of the package management.

From the API page ( http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Concern.htm... ) it seems to do two things, 1. resolve module dependencies 2. eliminate some ruby boilerplate in the module code. I kind of liked the idea of extending th

So the subscription cost would have to cover the extra cost for not only regular gmail because they can't serve you ads, but also the extra manpower of providing encryption. A feature that they can will only sell to a limited audience. So

And how would they make money by serving you relevant ads if they can't parse your email?

I think the Japanese language is a big issue and Matz's decision to not make changes to the GIL in spite of Rubinius making great progress in that regard.

How has Python avoided this? Is it because GVR has been accepted as the dictator because there are no language barriers? I can see how the language issue can cause a major disturbance.

He is a very legitimate contender for person of the year. A thirty-something we know nothing about in charge of a failing state with nuclear weapons. 4chan may be trolling, but the levity about north korea and their slave labor camps isn'

I didn't follow why the article stated that AC is not ready for the grid of the future. This DC grid seems to be an incremental improvement, 10%? But IMO not a huge breakthrough.

Still doesn't help you, which postal employee is going to sit for 1/2 hour while you test your iphone and make sure it connects to your computer etc? They can only say, "yup it looks like an iphone", not whether or not it works.

It is a problem when you consider a buyer has usually 6 months to do a chargeback and you have 60 days to leave feedback and cannot change it later.

It's a tough problem, but without a third party to monitor the transaction there can always be scams when it's your word against his.

The limiting factor is the buyer's reputation with his credit card company. If he is repeatedly doing chargebacks people hopefully a credit card company will notice and not take his side or better yet, not issue him credit. The idea is th

namecheap does offer free dns, but an API controlled free DNS seems nice. The people who will likely need it are probably willing to pay $0.50 a month to amazon though.

Risk analytics has always been an area for data crunching. It is not new and will benefit from big data advances. I think the argument is how far do you get until you have financially limiting diminishing returns.

I do think the big data promise is overblown. Looking at my local grocery store, the american one is always trying to collect my phone number and tie it to my purchases. That will give them an edge more than what they have to pay their mu

Congratulations on this, a great idea. Auction theory tells us the second price sealed bid auction (ebay system) is better than the English auction because it reveals true price intent far better than the English auction. http://www.econ

I gotta ask, I was looking for some access points for a small company. How does meraki compare to the super cheap http://www.open-mesh.com/ which seems to have some nice software as well. Is Meraki really aimed towards enterprise who ca

I am willing to see ads in return for the free services I get. I get free TV shows without cable and free movies on Youtube. Really, what business model does this kickstarter project advocate?

He says this allows a DC grid. He thinks DC is the "right solution" for a powergrid of the future. Interested to know more about why that is. I dont know much about the 'war of the currents'.

Virginia is similar, with optional machine voting.

Virginia does this as well. I think it's a great system. No need for costly machines, just optical scanners which can be spot checked by pulling a percentage to verify. Plus you can scale it very easily, just add more people for ID check
