I think the value of a site declines over time relative to how long an individual has been viewing it. The first few weeks I started browsing Hacker News, a large portion of the articles were interesting. The percentage of interesting arti

But how do you do that? You'd have to have a non-https based landing page and then redirect to spdy based on user agent. If you actually care about SSL, the non-SSL landing page is an attack vector.

The above steps aren't optimal. The makefile in the nginx source shows you how to do a hitless upgrade. This is what I do from the shell after correctly installing, essentially translated from the makefile. kill -USR2 `cat /var/run/nginx.p

Transparent caching is part of what makes http so great. Security is relative, you can authenticate content without encrypting it, if there is nothing sensitive about the content. The authentication can happen external to the http or spdy

Only this tuple needs to be unique: (source ip, source port, dest ip, dest port, protocol) For protocols that don't have ports, then it is this tuple: (source ip, dest ip, protocol) that needs to be unique. Openbsd's pf works that way, I'd

In your last step there you are literally adding one to INT_MAX, which is an overflow. Hence the exception.

The nightmare scenario you describe is already the current situation. There is already a "boy's club," you automatically become a member when you have acquired enough patents. The consortium is simply a way to lower the barrier to entry t

The premise of the article is that cursive is the natural consequence of writing more efficiently. Individuals will write in their own form of cursive even if not taught explicitly. This completely misses the point that people won't be wri

Patent insurance is the knee jerk reaction to patents, and more or less impractical. However, the patent pool concept this article discusses sounds like a way to more or less provide patent insurance, which would be an amazing thing if it r

In a CDN environment, load balancing is a far more complex subject than can be entertained in this thread. Suffice to say that load balancing is not just about spreading requests evenly over machines, you have to make intelligent decisions

I'm glad to hear that's worth a 43% tax to you. It's a little steep for me.

I've noticed a lot of people mentioning a 30% price increase, but it would actually require a 43% price increase to pay apple a 30% margin. It's the difference between markup and margin. If you want to pay someone x margin, you have to mar

You are describing peering arrangements between ISPs quite well. The ISP that is sending the traffic will "hot potato" the packets to the closest peering port, so the ISP receiving the traffic is responsible for backhauling it. This is wh
