The most interesting part of the article, for me, is that they moved the nexus of their corporation from two tax free states to California. I doubt they realize the tax and legal implications of being residents rather than just visiting CA

Site looks great and service too. One tiny nit on the logo, you should use hexagons instead of pentagons. Lots of hexagons fit together nicely. Pentagons, not so much.

Good question. It appears that they're only spending $3.8 million a year. It'd be great to see them up their program expenses to shrink that surplus.

Someone here once posted this aggregation of subreddits as an alternative: http://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade+longtext+programming+... It's not a perfect version of 2010 HN, but with some pruning and grafting I imagine it could be clo

Paywalls aren't ideal, but they often have the better content. Easy way to hop over the WSJ paywall: search title on Google, open link in incognito NYTimes paywall: Open link in incognito. After 10 articles, close all incognito windows and

Nice to see another option, but the early termination fee of, "$2376, less $99.00 for each full month of Service completed," is brutal. Source: http://www.gopago.com/merchant-terms-conditions/

I like that Beyond Meat is trying to offer better vegan options. The product looks interesting, but after reading the ingredients, http://beyondmeat.com/products/ , I doubt I will try it. Titanium Dioxide (what color is it normally), Dipo

True. Ironically this will also result in criticism about how Amazon isn't employing enough humans.

If you really need info from Wikipedia, you can cache an offline version before the blackout. I like: http://offline-wiki.googlecode.com/git/app.html

I'm not sure that he had to get a brand new car every six months. He could have created a new lease on the same car every six month from a leasing company. That should have been enough to satisfy the law: http://dmv.ca.gov/fee_calc/feecalc

Planning to buy the paperback. While checking out the paperback info, I noticed that the pdf is still free on lulu.

The difference may not be as dramatic as the original example, but a 10-25% performance increase isn't too shabby.

This part of the article blew me away: "The Air Force is also using the Condor to process ground-based radar images of space objects, again with extraordinary clarity. Barnell shows images of a space shuttle orbiting Earth at 5 miles a seco

Minimizing risk should be supreme! It's not worth chasing a few tenths of a percent or spending too much time doing something fancy. Plus doing something fancy usually costs some admin fees. E.g. An extra .1 % on 100,000 is only $100 a year

I love padmapper. Best of the craigslist mapping sites. When transitioning to finding furniture on cl, I was really missing the mapping option. "Padmapper" for the other categories?

I imagine Groupon will account for a big chunk of this uptick. Looks like about 500 million of the recent discolosure will end up in 2011.

Employees should meet companies halfway and learn a bit of programming on their own. Of course learning early on is better, but attempting a pass through something like http://learnpythonthehardway.org should be mandatory for any unemploy

I don't think the price is too bad. It comes out to $13 per seat per month for a team of 5. Drops to $10 per each additional. I think this is more an issue of pricing psychology. The price should be marketed as $65 a month for a team of up

50K may have worked in 2000, but we have 10 years of inflation since then. I think 65K is more in line with the times.

Something similar was said when Google bought Youtube. That said, the price does seem steep.

Bravo Google! The google checkout button no longer leads to a checkout page, but rather "Unfortunately, this merchant no longer accepts payments through Google. We apologize for the inconvenience."

The way to check for that is view source. In Chrome: view-source: http://news.ycombinator.com/w2011form . No JS. Does YC or HN even use JS?

He's even using Google Checkout. I'm surprised Google puts up with this.

I live down the street from this datacenter and my home experienced this same power outage. Makes me wonder how they handle power failures. My guess is that they don't.
