Out of that list, I think unpleasant is what separates a disease from other biological phenomena. You can say the same thing about human growth (the early parts of aging), but it's not unpleasant until later.

$100,000 of seed funding. I wonder what share of the company they gave up for this. Heavily funded anti-piracy agencies are almost guaranteed to make this a good investment.

Actually, it has msnbot listed, and according to this http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/archive... The bingbot will respect msnbot permissions when it doesn't see bingbot, unless of course github has explicitly blocked

Not sure if it's still the case, but Google hosts all their internal source code on a modified version of perforce, so they essentially have everything in one repo.

Why is that? convincing banks to give you money will be much harder, at a high interest rate, and you have to give the money back whether you're successful or not.

I was also hoping to see some mathematical insight that allowed them to prove the minimal sudoku problem. The problem with a brute force solution is that it only applies to the 9x9 sudoku. It would be interesting to see what the limit is fo

Those are "writes" from the users perspective, it doesn't take into account writes due to index updates. So that's 1 write multiplied by however many indexes that need update.

There are definitely serious applications and businesses built on appengine, mostly started before their price hike coming out of Beta last November. http://www.optimizely.com (YC W10) and http://shoesofprey.com are two notable examples

Slightly off topic, but I'm sick of post titles that start with "A Redditor's ...". A title like that is just going to encourage comments and culture from reddit which is usually inappropriate here. "Redditors" are mostly normal people, "An

I applaud the initiative, but this has a long way to go before it adds more value than the effort you put in to set it up and switch over from your existing editor. By far the best python/django IDE is pycharm. It's free for open source dev

"You might be thinking that you can use some trick (referencing the GAC library instead of the compiler reference or using reflection to get to private APIs, or P/Invoking into Win32). But all of those uses will be caught by AppStore review

Thanks! I'm on HN from China and facebook is completely blocked (There are vpn/proxy options, but not worth setting up for a short stay).

The maps app is blocked/isn't available in China, so it makes sense to replace it here.

I was using Xiao Mi as an example of a great Android product from China rather than a comparison to Baidu (though I didn't know about Baidu's search result practices). My question still stands though, is it much more of an Android "fork" as

I'm in China now and see Android phones on sale. A lot of google services are blocked, youtube, plus, the maps app, and others, but Android is alive and well.

Is this much different from what MIUI (Xiao Mi) did with their android ROM, they replaced a lot of the default android services as well? They're also releasing an android phone soon [1] Any distrust of chinese technology aside, I'm actually
