A social engineer wouldn't try for this much data. One SSH key or password would be enough. I'm going with the fucking-retarded-auditor theory.

From the thread (Nathan's comments). Seems like a real asshole: snip OK, so now I have to keep FG honest by relating two of his classic comments during the meal. We were all mesmerized by the black truffle series. After the braised/raw en

This is one of my all time favorite business books. Great summary. "Be the one who writes the contract." and the Higher Authority gambit are a favorite among VC's. Also, suggesting something is standard is very popular among VC's and isn't

Thanks for posting this. I've had two friends profoundly affected by the drug. One is now schizophrenic after taking a large dose and will have a lifelong struggle. Thankfully he is supported by his family and his mom is a psychiatrist. The

I never made any of the allegation's in your bullets. The simple fact is that producing a Prius is bad for the environment and buying a new one every few years is a hell of a lot worse for the environment than buying a 10 year old vehicle a

I drive a 2001 Ford F350. I get dirty looks from Prius drivers every day. Little do they know (and the econ article mentions this) that their little buzzbombs contain 2.2 pounds of neodymium which is both radioactive and massively damages t

It's not hard to launch terminal and type whois <domain>. Just do it and have a much higher likelihood that your new names and business concepts are safe. Note that you're not guaranteed they're safe because it's trivial for an ISP

Also the applications are enourmous. Watch the end of the video for ideas. For example, it will be a huge enabler in robotics and some of the quadcopter applications you've been seeing.

This is massively ground breaking. You'll get it if you've used motion tracking on several game interfaces and had to make perfectly white backgrounds with bright lights to make it work. This is incredibly accurate - really game changing st

So brad is asking us to ignore the irrational exuberance that surrounds funding and acquisitions in our sector? That sounds like bad advice. Business is not done in a vacuum and if you ignore the weather you risk freezing to death or dying

McAfee screwed our site over the same way with siteadvisor. It took 2 months and us harassing their support team almost daily to get it resolved. Also hurt revenue. I'd love to participate in a class action lawsuit.

You can eat banana peels, but beware of pesticides because the producers assume you're going to throw the peel away. I'd go for organic or once you grow yourself.

Antirez why did you title the HN post as "almost the same thing". They ARE the same thing. You are 200% correct. Lets turn it around: Is there an example where speed and scalability are different? Maybe the level of concurrency which behave
