Great comment. It appears to be a huge problem in synthetic biology too. For instance you can often, using genetic programming, find a gene that is far more fit than anything synthetic bioengineering would produce. The problem is genetic pr

Google Apps professional, you know the one that makes sure you don't see random 404s on Spreadsheets and have no one to talk to one fine morning, that costs $50/yr per license.

Wouldn't that fall to the Department of Justice?

Unless you're talking about Facebook. Then he'd be correct. ;)

I hate to be "that guy", but....Where's the social media? The like buttons, official facebook group, twitter links, spam your friends? Egypt, Libya and Tunisia just used it to overthrow their governments, so we in the U.S. should at least

May not be the place for this, but I'm curious what everyone is using as a node.js deployment workflow? I'm very tempted to stick to my old fabric fab file.

You know, this reminds me that a good portion of the general populace has 1-2 inches of their screen taken up by browser toolbars with lots of icons and bookmarks. I have 8 buttons in chrome (min,max,close,back,fwd,refresh/abort,wrench and

None of those founders were actually successful with the other project. Steve Jobs bought then sold Pixar, and later sat on its board, owning a bunch of shares but not actually being involved operationally. Peter Thiel is not successful bec

I thought the same thing until my "put()s" were slow as hell on App Engine. "Oh hey this is just like mysql_query()! I just call entity.put() and everything's fine!" Not! When it comes to parallel operations over multiple machines ( most st

I purchased Civ 5 like a week ago. I haven't played it besides checking out the tutorial, because I know my startup success is inversely correlated with my Civilization's success.

What makes you think more employees has anything to do with the point I'm making? Microsoft has ~3 times as many employees as Google. That doesn't mean they can wipe Google out.

Facebook is more like a wolverine than a docile rabbit. Google is a bear; much bigger and should be more capable, but the wolverine is 10x more violent and will easily back it down in a fight over the salmon. The wolverine is quick, fearles

Facebook is going to destroy Google. Google is fighting too many battles; Facebook with the left hand, Apple with the right, Microsoft with its left leg. Facebook only has one enemy, besides the Federal Government.

HN is seriously degraded if this is being downvoted. If this doesn't ring true, then you haven't been a startup founder.

I think you're cleanly sidestepping the point I'm trying to make, which is that consumer's definitions of quality is quite arbitrary. Given two vehicles of equal finishing, engine power, engineering, consumers will pick the one with a stron

Actually... (heh) The brand is the quality. Branding is just reminding you of the quality.

Big Brand Corps don't sell direct. They sell a brand. Selling a brand means doing this thing called "branding", which usually involves multimedia (video, sound and graphic effects).

I see. I bear you no ill will. I just happened to one day start seeing LOTS of osdir and markmail results in my searches. And it's not even that I mind what osdir does (I did find answers there), but that it's UI is worse than the origi

Comet or some way to long poll would be nice Faster deploys (I've had to write my own one click deploy, not fun to say the least) Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the reliability it provides. It takes some getting used to but once you
