I doubt this HN post could have a more boring title. The actual article is very interesting. Basically Facebook's DB developers talk about what it takes to perform 13 million queries per second, and a lot of the useful tips they've learned

As long as the publishers have a say, this feature doesn't matter. Don't believe me? Look at the Nook. I've bought over 30 books on it, 2 of them have the LendMe feature. For books I expect to share and re-read, I'm back to the physical cop

Short answer: They don't know. Longer answer. It won't be good, but it might not kill you - probably won't give you superpowers. But nobody's going to let you try anyway.

Also, apply now anyway (I kick myself frequently over thinking I'd save $40 and not send my app into the longshots). Better to have the "I was accepted but I don't want to go" dilemma than "I changed my mind, want to go, but didn't apply in

You're hanging out on the wrong forum if you think anybody here is telling you to go to college for the parties... As glorious as the SF scene (more specifically the Palo Alto crowd) is, beneath the surface they put more weight into your fo

Ten years ago I had the same thought, and I couldn't have been more wrong. College is 100% about the material you learn in CS classes - more like 10%. It is about the people you'll meet there, the ideas you'll be exposed to, and the crazy o

Given any thought to putting this on GitHub? I'd love to see OpenID support rolled in, but people posting "I want this" could put their money where their mouth is - by adding it themselves! PS: Did we just talk recently about LinkUp.com?

If this was what was happening in the majority of cases, I would agree. But it isn't - big companies frequently buy patents just to go after and shut-down/settle with smaller companies who are posing a threat. Like Apple against HTC. Like M
