Honestly, even knowing they were made up my brain's first instinct was "yeah, those sound familiar." If they were just asking about "some knowledge" I can see how people might say, "hmm, yeah, that sounds li

I started poking around with the javascript to see if I could hack it, but it seems to have server-side verification to stop you from moving to places you shouldn't be able to access.

Is it just me, or do the controllers (both of them) look just like the Fire TV's controllers? I just don't get it. Does every company have to jump in head first to any emerging market just because the others are doing it?

Which doesn't really justify 99.9% of the other things that were released.

For the life of me, whenever I hear someone call Manning a whistleblower, I cannot ever get the person to articulate exactly what he was blowing the whistle against. It's my understanding that most of what was released was nothing mor

What if we made an image of the server and anyone could download and operate a box and somehow they would be like, distributed and talk to one another? I don't know what else would happen, but it would be cool.

Is caveat emptor something they sold the company when trying to land that enterprise contract? Or did they sell them security of their information?

Can someone explain to a non-functional guy how a closure makes this more simple, perhaps with a bit of pseudocode?

The problem I have with that view is that it takes a lot more than picking up a pick-axe and spending a day or two learning how to look for gold. I don't know about you, but I'd venture a guess that most of the HN crowd (myself i

I suppose there's always a catch, but no background services? Talk about useless...

So bizarre. I remember listening to Groove Salad when I was probably 14 years old. Now here I am, 11 years later, living in SF, and I get reminded of it on a random HN post.

Doh! I somehow after 16 years of education never managed to understand the point of the log scale. Thank you.

You used coffee shops, which is a bit of a strawman. How might a small competitor even begin to compete with the iPhone?

We don't know whether these people are paying for each image, but at $5 for a "custom" logo, I doubt they can afford to purchase the rights for each image. Yes, if all of their logos were clouds it would work, but that'

Whoa, that's one hell of a bullshit disclaimer. Even after reading it (and it's not exactly highlighted), it was unclear that Folyo was his company. Definitely sketchy.

#2 always was what impressed me most about AWS. When I was trying out Digital Ocean, I had to hack together my own scripts to set up the equivalent of cloudfront, auto-scaling, and elastic load balancing. I realized just how important tho

I'm convinced hyper-local connectivity is the future (at least, at some point). Best of luck getting users engaged; it seems like a great idea.

And the paperback just happens to be coming out in September but can be pre-ordered now. Kind of annoying to me personally, since I take the advice a little less seriously now.

I'm extremely confused as to how people aren't able to find anything for less than $4k/mo. It didn't seem all that unusual to find places for mid 1000s if you're sharing a place and not living downtown, and this is

I'm jealous of those high-energy folks that seem to be running around on even 7 hours without feeling exhausted. Whether I get 7 hours or 12 hours, I feel the same: sleepy.

> even though there is no law or regulation requiring us to do so. Are you honestly saying there's no laws around safety requirements in vehicles? Also, there's the fear of lawsuits.
