   I got a HiFi as a gift. It's a pretty kickin' system for what it is. Worst thing about it is that it's pre Bluetooth and has the old style iPod connector.

   My memories of being 12 and watching the C64 shelves at the video game store rapidly give way to IBM/PC shelves definitely support this narrative. I don't remember any Apple shelf...

   I pretty much do this. Not that I am an "anti-mustachian" by philosophy, I just have had pretty good paying jobs since the day I got out of school and have spent a lot all throughout... The money I have saved has been automatical

    You could look at the idea of people creating art, new business, making movies as something that you and your family could benefit from. Art, one could argue, is the whole point isn't it? Otherwise, what else do we as a species leave

    I agree with all the other answers here but I did think of oone thing does set Facebook apart from other large organizations and maybe makes it more "dev friendly". Facebook (as far as I know from that movie) was founded, its code

    Last I checked, the recommended production config of mongo, in the simplest case, required at least 3 separate servers configured in a master, slave, and arbitrator cluster. Compared with setting up AWS multi zone replicated RDS SQL server

    If I may speculate, it seems like the end result of this situation will be that in the future, startups will avoid taking money from mutual funds or anyone else who must attempt to accurately value their holdings publicly, whenever possible

    I once took the train from Tokyo to Kyoto. Shortly after arriving, I found myself deep in a bamboo forest within close walking distance from the train station.

    Yeah. Everyone in the whole world will simultaneously be able to have better than the current best seats in the house. Courtside? 50 yard line? Right by the mid tower in Dota2?

    Exactly. What is going to be cool is stuff like standing right on or slightly above the field in the middle of a sports event, or right on stage at a concert next to Mick Jagger and being able to move around a bit. Unfortunately there will

    I use/have contributed to this project: https://github.com/hendrix/hendrix which is a wsgi wrapper that uses twisted to serve django apps. Websockets are among the first things you get out of it.
