$50 a month for DNS hosting? Even $50 a year sounds like too much. I'd take a gander at Amazon's Route 53: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/#pricing

It's giving me (and likely many others) the push needed to finally migrate everyone I know away from their hosted DNS.

The point is that an industry currently operating at 5% efficiency whose profits rely on this fact will fight disruption. The Radial tire came from within the automotive industry, so even if there were some temporary losers, there wasn't

Come on guys, you're the IEEE. Lead the story with the second set of graphs, not the first set of graphs. I'm also going to go out on a limb and guess that this study doesn't account for the inevitable malware when the majority of vehicles

The about page has a fair amount of detail, but a rough outline: Basically, they took a web crawler like Heritrix (archive.org) or Scrapy (a handy Python implementation good for prototyping) and just started fetching web pages. Eventually,

The API lets you load a custom set of map tiles, managing up to 16 (I think) levels of zoom. It doesn't have to be specifically tied to Earth's GPS/cartographic conventions.

Your concern here is over potential influence peddling in the influence peddling market?

Or with this split, one could say the commercials were 36.4% as long as the show.

One could accurately say that the commercials during a traditional half hour television program are 50% as long as the show itself. Sometimes statistics lie, but more often they tell the truth in a fashion similar to a math test where every

Perhaps a bit off topic, but would a finance nerd recognize this style of graph better? I've never seen such a thing before, and it took a little while to understand what the instructions were saying. But once I got it, I was immediately

The bar is set pretty low so far. All the diamond has to do is factorize 21.

Aha, that helps explain the discrepancy of OS X 10.7: $ ls -la /usr/bin/true /usr/bin/false -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 34240 Jul 20 2011 /usr/bin/false -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 34240 Jul 20 2011 /usr/bin/true $ cmp -l

The problem has nothing to do with theory vs reality, but rather emphasizing the wrong aspects of reality. 1) All the discussion of memory usage isn't terribly relevant. There's some stuttering while iOS kills background apps when the runn

I really wish the article explicitly explained exactly what happens when you manually manage the multitasking bar. My anecdotal experience is that removing an app from "recently used" does have the effect of terminating it if it was in one

The bureaucratic issues aside, it does seem, on the surface, absurd that we can't just view the money spent fighting the War on Drugs as part of a big bucket that we could instead just pour all over medical treatment. Tossing the bureaucrat

AOL in this list would make a lot more sense if it could track how long it's been since you deleted your account.

I've no doubt the engineers at Facebook and SAP find plenty of interesting problems to fill their day. The macroscopic problems that both companies are solving in their respective niches are... What? It's not a startup versus enterprise th

It is not non-controversial to include zero in the set of whole numbers. A square with side n, where n=0 would be a point. Except it wouldn't, because we have to define these things differently, or geometry would be incoherent. Incidentall

Do a little more research on Stanley Tennenbaum. This discovery happened around the 1950s. Tennenbaum didn't drop out of mathematics so much as he dropped out of institutional mathematics. More here, including a post from one of his child

Mathematicians just tend to talk about this as "constructible" instead of "computable" though. My favorite illustration of this is here: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=103

LinkedIn is fantastic. It tells me which people already know each other. This is more useful than I would have imagined.
