How did people not learn from Greece? Yes, an entire country can tell an extreme lie and get away with it for a long time. Skepticism is justified, but not because "they couldn't have done it so badly for so long".

More specifically, which laws were broken?

No. Because it doesn't work that way. See comments above.

Is there any evidence to suggest that "the hub" is anything but a unicorn that consumer products journalists write about and manufacturer product managers get tricked in to believing?

Hey, I just removed Oracle from Google search too! All I did was craft a special encoded URL, take a screenshot, and conveniently crop out the URL bar. http://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%BEr%D0%B0c%D0%86%D0%B5

Important fact: Wikileaks asked the Whitehouse to help them filter out the names of informants and other sensitive people before they released the documents. The Whitehouse chose not to do so.

Because "real world traffic" is a bullshit test. Who's real world traffic? Mine? Yours? Google's? Yahoo's? Science is repeatable, which means you can replicate the same inputs to the test every time. The lab experiments involved in science

When software design causes users to behave in a good way, we praise the software. So too must we blame software when it causes users to behave badly.

You say "DevOps engineer" when you really mean SysAdmin, but I upvoted you anyway because you get it.

DevOps is not just "writing automation tools". If that's all you're getting out of this, you're missing 90% of what's going on.

Ouch. See, DevOps is not just "sysadmins writing automation tools". Your post illustrates my point perfectly.

Because if you don't exercise that functionality, you will never have confidence that it will work when you need it to.

This is exactly true. Not to mention "DevOps" is not a job position, it's a culture and philosophy. In the past few months as DevOps has taken off, people listing for "DevOps" job titles usually mean highly proficient sysadmins. In this cas

Do you have evidence that reddit (or any site using a dynamic language) would reduce overall operating costs by switching, or is this an assumption on your part? What about development costs? What about time to deploy new features? What abo

And to Google's credit, they don't block competitive apps from their market. Go ahead and make your own map software for sale on the market; Google will happily list it.

Now wait a second; Google is stealing Yelp's content? Since when does Yelp "own" my reviews? When Yelp begins paying for the content others are generating for them then we can consider the moral outrage of this "theft".

Taxpayers foot the bill today. This is about today, not some hypothetical. I have never claimed that forcing prisoners to work is slavery. What I did say is that forcing prisoners to work without fairly compensating them is slavery. I als

I guess that is why thousands of startups are running out of run-down brick warehouses covered in a swipe of fresh paint in some of the most seismically unstable areas of San Francisco; because people care that their companies are skimping

The point here is that prisoners are used to fill entire factories with labor for private benefit, while taxpayers foot the bill and prisoners work without fair wage. You're turning this into a prisoner's rights issue when it isn't anything

If the point is to make the men work, then pay them a fair wage. Until then, no intellectually honest person can call it anything but slavery.

This is incredibly bad advice. Do you know who has access to your datacenter? Who has access to plug devices into the switch that your server lives on? Does your network provider regularly audit their gear to make sure it hasn't been compro
