Congrats guys! It should be mentioned that Clustrix was part of YC's W06 batch.

Can someone provide a practical use case for prepending modules? I can't for the life of me think of one.

Hey, fellow Charlottean here! I've found a similar situation here, where my SF network still exists but isn't quite as useful as it was when I was living there.

You echoed my thoughts exactly about Noe Valley. We absolutely loved living there, but when it came time to raise a family it wasn't even an option. That's coming from a couple who both worked at Google! Obscene indeed. I absolutely love SF

Clearly, Google needs to be punished for such abuses of the power, power that is granted to them by consumers voluntarily choosing to use their free product.

I can believe this in a heartbeat. I know that if Platforms and datacenter/cluster management innovation stopped, I'd see a mass exodus of my Googler friends (as well as a very noticeable change in Google's products).

I had the pleasure of helping to build and manage these facilities, both hardware and software, for 5 years. It's nice to see some of Google's real innovations reach the public eye. Some of the smartest folks I ever worked with at the compa

I really don't think they're going after the iPhone model. I have a Nest and love it, but don't plan on upgrading each year. After all, it's the software that really matters. Given that, this new model makes some evolutionary design improve

Oh the irony of this being presented as an "interactive" infographic. Their number 1 takeaway is "Understand my users & their needs". This information may or may not be useful, but the format prevented me from being interested in findin

This will most certainly be interesting to watch. My visceral reaction to the idea of one giant room was, "Wow. No thanks." I'm not personally the biggest fan of Frank Gehry's work, either. That said, I'm always a little bit excited when pe

Aren't the contribution limits on IRAs only referring to the tax deductible portion? I thought you could contribute after-tax dollars without a limit.

This is by far my favorite children's book; I read it to my son at least once a week. After our first reading, I immediately realized how relevant its message is to entrepreneurs, so I'm glad to see it show up on Hacker News. One more blog

Some quality issues, but fun nonetheless. Love watching this piece by Rachmaninov. It gives you an idea how freaking huge his hands were (and thus how difficult it is to play). http://qiao.github.com/euphony/#158

That was a joke, intended by Marc Jacobs to satirize the fashion industry.

Great idea. Wasn't Docracy pitched as exactly this, "GitHub for legal docs"? Looks like it's morphed into something entirely different. Shame. http://docracy.com

Agreed, though what I said doesn't apply just to programmers. There are plenty of twentysomething sales people at Google who work very long hours.

This guy seems to imply that folks at Google, Facebook, etc. are worried about losing their jobs if they don't stay late. In my 5 years at Google, I never once experienced that fear. I learned a long time ago that my life with my wife and k

Well there goes the ~$100 premium I was able to fetch on Craigslist for my last generation iPhones. Good news for AT&T consumers, though. I wonder if this means they'll also unlock iPads since they were never under contract?
