The protest to protect the park is nothing more than a trigger. In fact there are even reports that suggest that there is some misinformation and there is no currently approved project to build a shopping center. Still not clear what the fa

One of the more hackernews relevant aspects of this event is the role of the media. Turkey has a very robust media, with dozens of TV stations and newspapers, yet there are no laws preventing the media from participating other commercial ac

Reading many of the comments below it's clear to me that most commentators have never worked in the enterprise. Anyone who has purchased enterprise software knows full well that you never pay "once". Far from it. - For most organizations,

I think what you may be missing is that AWS offers a lot more than EC2. In fact EC2 may well be the least significant offering they have. - Using other AWS services significantly decreases number of subject one has to figure out how to ope

I mostly think so as well, though poor quality of analysis in couple of areas I had direct experience with has made me doubt the quality of analysis of in other areas as well.

The question is whether reacting to peaks identified this way can be helpful or not. If you have hundreds of thousands of metrics, how many peaks get detected per minute and how many of those indicate something that actually requires attent

Basically it means that you can have statically linked executables that do not have dependencies to other libraries, and can be deployed by simply copying the files. Alternatives written is scripting language like ruby, python, etc. require

Having implemented similar solutions, it's clear to me that developers did their homework and designed accordingly. I find myself agreeing with almost every decision I could see. - Go: light, no dependencies. This is key. If you ever deplo

The problem is not being able to use the device at all without the paid service. You have to pay regardless of whether you want them to store your data or not (I don't). I don't think it's surprising that many people have aversion to paying

Improvements between 1857 and 1930 is truly impressive (6 weeks to 3 days from NY to CA). The lack of progress since then (1930 to 2013, almost the same amount of time) is stark; it still takes 3 days to get to CA from NY by train. Almost n

What part of my comment blames one side? I fully agree that democrats are to be blamed for FISA and NDAA just as much as republicans, if not more. If and when Obama signs them into law, he will share the blame as well. He has been consisten

Many people seem to associate AWS with EC2, and make comparisons with that assumption. For us EC2 was a small part of the decision. As stated in the article other AWS services (ELB, SQS, Route53, DynamoDB,etc), multiple locations, all thro
