Of course I agree with you but it's not about the internet downtime. It's about messing with or elections it's about the invasions. You let it all go on long enough and you will have much bigger problems in a few years time.

The U.S. has changed the rules of engagment to state that any cyber attack can be met with real military counterattack. If the Russians are behind it, after being emboldened by Ukraine and Syria, the United States has to respond. I'm n

Rich white people? I resent that comment. There are white people that border each other that hate and kill each other. Russia and Ukraine comes to mind. The United States and Russia comes to mind as another example of two predominantly whit

It's funny how corporate marketing works. For a long time I used to really love their products and their processes. Maybe it was when they got rid of "don't be evil" but at some point they started turning into just anoth

I second this opinion. I think Chrome has a lot of interesting parts from a technological perspective. However, I think Firefox as an organization has done more for JavaScript and that community as far as fostering an open environment than

Famous last words on this product. I obviously don't agree with you based on my previous comment but I could be wrong. I will say this though that we all vastly underestimate what people want to do and share with each other. This is th

I think this is significantly better than what Google did with Google Glass. It's better because it focuses on the one thing that is really easy to do well. It does not try to do everything at once. It doesn't try to give you apps

Does anyone else think this shit is totally bat shit crazy? I may be of the minority here but I am definitely not the minority in the real world. If you care about health why not exercise and eat healthy and never take any type of drug for

I really believe the future is a mixed OOP and FP world. I think we will see industry use languages like Scala and F# more and more. In mission critical portions of systems people will use a functional style and try to isolate state, while

What is it with people on hacker news? You all love Amazon or something? Chances are a lot of them are coming back because their system, at jet, is guaranteed to be cheaper if you buy multiple things. It is why they have double the order si

Jet is growing at a staggering rate month over month. They are at over 1.1 billion in sales annually in under a year. Yes, while spending money to do it, but you can't magically get paying loyal customers without any advertising or inc
