Less relevant these days with Docker, but yeah, I get your point. There have been a number of posts on HN in the past few months about the complexity of dependencies between gems, and how many of Ruby's performance issues are actually

To be fair, this area of Philadelphia has a number of pretty sensitive government buildings located nearby. City hall, Independence Hall, the US Mint and the Federal Reserve are all within a few blocks of where this car was found. That said

I agree that TV advertising will go away, but keep in mind when I say "advertiser" I'm speaking of companies purchasing advertising slots (not the ones selling them - they're typically referred to as publishers). The one

TV remnant inventory is usually sold at the local level and is nowhere near as large a percentage of of the pie as it is online. It's also hard to "create" more inventory on TV - not so online; which is exactly what publisher

I don't know I would go as far as to say it was masculine versus feminine -- there was certainly a place in Aristotle's ideal man for athleticism and prowess in battle -- but rather defining the boundaries for genetic competition

I often find that artists who I like tend to work together (this is especially true in hip-hop and electronica, but also in rock music as well through side projects). I've found some of my favorite albums this way; and it's weird

This is more in line with what I had read as well. A large penis was seen as "barbaric" or "brutish", while the average cosmopolitan man (who would be able to view such statues) desired to be in control of himself. This

While I don't agree with your sentiment personally (I'm American, I have lived in many parts of the country so I see myself as American above all else), I do think that in many places -- especially the emerging parts of the world

From what I understand, she developed the initial prototypes as an undergrad at Stanford and one of her professors helped hook her up with a bunch of VCs with powerful friends. Could just be part of the mythos as well; it can be hard to tel

I thought she developed the initial prototypes and proved that the concept could work. The fact that it couldn't improve / scale is the risk of startups. IMO you had a bunch of Silicon Valley types who are used to ignoring the rul

Yeah, I kind of feel bad for Elizabeth Holmes. She was built up into this superstar by the media, when she was really just an ambitious kid who developed some cool tech. Now she's likely looking at a prison sentence for fraud, because

There is no doubt that India will be profitable for Amazon. They're frozen out of China because of protectionist policies, they already own the US and Europe, so if they want to grow, India has to be part of that strategy. Given that t

Or you need to fix the supply chain issue yourself by holding inventory. This solves a problem that your producers have and provides better service to your customers. This is what Amazon does. The real problem is when you have a bunch of pr

The hard part in building a two-sided market is getting users AND buyers on your platform. This generally means epic shit-tons of brand marketing to end users, which is where a lot of those millions of VC dollars go. There's really no

Given that Type 2 diabetes is generally believed to be caused by diet, it makes sense that diet could fix it as well. My personal hypothesis is that some people have intestinal bacteria that are really, really good at breaking down sugar ve

It's also incredibly easy to grow your own. It's called "weed" for a reason; if you threw some seeds in your back garden, in a few months you'd end up with something that would get you high for almost zero effort. A
