Semantics here - if they aren't abiding, you are right, it is illegal. But I'm asking more along the lines of 'why' is that illegal. Is that data privacy an inalienable, non-contract-surrendable right? That seems ridiculously draconian.

But if you, as a customer of those websites, agree to them knowing you are there, and they chose to share that with others, what right does the government have to prevent that? Why is this not a 'just don't use the service if you don't like

Maybe it's my unenlightened American perspective coming out here, but why is this a big deal? You chose to use the Facebook service, you chose to provide this information to them, and you chose to agree to their terms of service. Facebook i

What javascript engine ships on a linux server today? Ruby and Python are both packaged in by default on basically everything, V8 and other javascript engines are not. Additionally, javascript is NOT more widely accessible - if anything, le

They have tools available for them to do that today. In fact, that's one of the driving forces behind HBSS deployment.

While not conscious of the morbidity that really underlies it, that's been my personal way of looking at life for a long time. What is there really to lose?

'Devops' is nice, but I'd be you end up getting shitty SA work and shitty code rolled into one package, instead of great versions of either...

I read significantly faster than you can talk, and I don't have tons of free time. Why would you NOT prefer to read an interview, as long as its transcribed properly?

I think you read the opposite of what I was trying to say. I have dealt with storage 'at scale' enough to require a full team of storage people. Some guy clicking buttons on the Amazon website is usually not a very effective way of dealing

If you are so unconcerned with your storage that you're just mouse clicking around EBS setups, you don't' need 1-2 full-time people to run an array.

Just like you can link a bunch of smaller telescopes on the ground to compensate for air distortion and get a significantly higher resolution, it should be possible to do the same with a bunch of satellites looking down.

How much does the Touch Foil cost? I'm seeing huge price ranges ($999-19999), I assume it varies based on size and multi vs single touch capability? Has anybody on HN used this stuff?

Here's a few off the top of my head: a) you have to cut them to move a cable b) you have to have cutters to cut them c) they're usually cinched WAY too tight around a cable bundle, potentially damaging the cables inside (esp. an issue with

Cable ties should be a termination offense for any structured cabling in a data center. Velcro does the same job, with none of the (mostly negative) side effects of a cable tie. From a 'clever' perspective, my favorite non-obvious technique

At the 'infinite' scale of storage that they're discussing, you should still see a savings. It's not going to be 30% or 80%, but it will be savings. De-duplication CAN still take place.

While a different password / key would make the same data decrypt to different data, you don't necessarily have to do de-dupe on blocks of the encryption-cipher-size, so these values can easily overlap. Blocks of data can be treated complet

The hell it can't. Block-level de-duplication can easily work for encrypted data.

Every year, our city has 'restaurant week', where tons of local restaurants offer 3 or 4 course prix fixe menus for the same price (usually $24.99 or so). For some of these restaurants, that price point is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than their nor

I think cash helps build up an insulation layer to outside offers and poaching. If you pay / compensate above market, and the employee knows this, they're less likely to 'just take a look' at the competition or other employers offers, as th
