I'm loving it because Peter Thiel is a f-ing billionaire who is now publicly showing what the 1% of the 1% are capable of. The power that these 0.01% have is staggering. To see what they're capable of with just a few million dolla

What I find really funny is the obvious shills who wrote such generic five star reviews without commenting on the item, the picture, or the product itself. No wait ... now that I think about it I'm more saddened that even our spammy Me

This is a subtle (or maybe no so subtle) way to block advertisers until they pony up a bit of cash. There's no way a move like this doesn't end up with a bit more money in the pockets of Three UK.

Yup. Time to drag out the old, "minimum wage increases is killing jobs. No increases in minimum wages ... No mandated minimum wage" rhetoric.

Some of the documents are missing. Among them is the other documents that will be relevant to HN readers: e-commerce and the Copyright and Intellectual Property. From the FAQ: 4. Are the documents complete? All of the documents in possessio

Looks like this is the slide deck for a presentation. Unfortunately it's indecipherable without the words and context.

Snapchat doesn't kill people, people do. I'll give you my speed filter when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. If Snapchat is outlawed, only outlaws will have Snapchat.

You are correct, I was making that assumption and should not. I tend to think money on HN posts but not as much on, for example, r/programming posts. I suppose I'm more susceptible to indirect marketing than I like to believe. Dam

A "discerning, technologically literate audience" is exactly who you don't want at your site -- for most non-technical sites. The person you want is some who really believes bud light tastes different than coors light. You

Unfortunately, people who come to a website via RSS almost universally have ad blockers turned on and usually are not site sticky. Maybe not the best group to attract to your site?

I have no idea why you're being downvoted but what you say is true. And having to find workarounds to get twitter pushed to me at my laptop is very annoying.

NOOO! This ruins the whole experience. Right now Uber is a convenient alternative to Taxis in (large) part because there is no tipping necessary. Once tipping is required you have to go through all those mental gymnastics all the time: how

From the employee's point of view this will always be a hated service because people hate being tested. Especially the majority who are not naturally gifted but only got by because of cramming stuff into their heads. These are perfectl

I found the source to be too long for one file. The author should have broken this up into smaller units. A bit of refactoring and maybe reuse of common elements would help.

IMO, Claritin is only sufficient for minor sinus drip at the start of pollen season, for example. It does nothing for the significant draining during the height of allergy season and colds laugh at its feeble attempts to stop sinus drainage

The pricing exactly matches Digital Ocean. Why would GoDaddy be any better? Are there really that many people clamoring for these exact configurations that price isn't important?

Then definitely more interesting than my cursory look. I don't see any mention of bundling the runtime but I'll take your word and dig around a bit more. Thanks for the info.

Clearly I'm not as up to speed as I might be. How do I avoid installing and configuring Erlang, Elixir, Phoenix, etc. on each machine I want to "paste" to? How do I bundle all these into one extract and go package?

I've spent years coding C# apps and really like the core language. But .Net app dependencies and deployment are a huge pain, especially if you decide Linux might be a cheaper way to go. However, the biggest problem with .NET is the hug

Exrm looks good for updating an already established application. Doesn't look like it does anything for the initial setup and configuration of a new system though. For me, the ultimate test is can I copy my application to a flash drive

I looked at it a while back. Even played around with Elixir, which I liked as a language quite a lot. But the deployment and configuration for Elixir/Phoenix/Ecto was pretty horrendous. Lots of dependencies, lots of tweaking, I th

What benefit would adding the overhead of learning OCaml be to this project? It's not like a functional or immutable language would add any value here, would it?!

I can't say about how the site is maintained (i.e. who makes the various decisions about each language) but it's updated quite regularly. I have changedetection.com monitoring the site and changes happen all the time. Here's
