My bet is that the US wants them to try to use the technology to either a.) get another Stuxnet into their computers while they download data from it, or b.) see them try to use it and ultimately embarrass themselves in the process.

Dallas is much better than Fremont. I moved all servers after their first outage months ago.

Android has been blocked in China? Since when? I'm sure the 4,000-odd employees of Motorola in China developing Android phones for sale in China would disagree with you...

I think there is little to no correlation between a programmer being "employable" and their level of education. I have no (finished) degrees from any universities, however, I've been employed time and time again, and I continue to innovate

This is utterly amazing. I have never been so excited for reddit posts...

This will allow us to provide more real-time data to users without having to worry about going over our limit. Thanks, Linode!

Agreed, and there are many cases where a robot will remember to do such things for me before I will even think about it (artificial intelligence) whereas I may forget to book my ticket, or I may look in my refrigerator at dinner time just t

This is a pretty good post, but I think a lot of these things can be said of any start up, not just of a startup going through YC. Interesting read, though. Can't wait to try myself.

For me, I have come to this realization after making a move to a large company (Motorola Mobility) from a small one. I have been working for them for two months, and I am already hating it. Being placed in China puts a whole additional laye

I wonder if one could get these to work for other browsers as well, or what is the browser degradation method for SSEs?

Yeah, but are there any performance improvements? I'll be waiting to see the blog posts about it that are undoubtedly forthcoming.

Yeah, that's awesome. That's perfect for a feature I'm working on. Hmm...

Don't store passwords. Use OpenID/OAuth/XAuth, etc.

Yeah, you may as well just run an EC2 node with memcached on it...

Indeed, I wonder what the inactive percentage is for a site like Facebook.

First line: "Modified ecstasy could one day have a role to play in fighting some blood cancers, according to scientists." Role. Haha.

Best thing I've seen all week. Yet another nail in the coffin for image assets on the web. Thanks, CSS3!

I completely agree with the last line here. All too often I hear about people saying "I will miss my friends/coworkers/boss/family [if I leave my job]". Life is too short, and they'll move on. Just do it.

I think developers should be conscious of the underlying performance issues/workarounds of their platforms and technologies and implement those early. There is nothing worse than wasting capital early just because you have to throw servers

Yeah, I did that a long time ago. Along with iMessage, I can communicate with almost anyone in the world for free. AT&T? Bah, who needs 'em.

This is awesome. I was going to put my blog onto GitHub (you know, being a hacker it just makes sense since I already pay for it anyway), but it is intriguing to be able to put it on S3, especially with CloudFront.

I really wish countries wouldn't fuel China's fire(wall). Statements like this by idiotic prime ministers and presidents, etc. just make it seem like the fight toward freedom of information is one not really worth fighting for when its not
