Possibly declawed. Have to wait for the House/Senate reconcile. Now, the amendment maintains the $200,000 salary and $1 million net worth -- as long as the primary residence is not included in the net worth calculation. http://news.goog

Not for people over a certain age.. I'm never getting those nights and mornings back. :) It's really just retina-searing, sorry. Other color options would be most welcome.

It was funny, but also a low blow. And further, since the direction to Max was veiled, it felt like an indictment of sustainable/lifestyle businesses instead of businesses you just want to avoid as a growth investor. (Thanks for your other

Yeah that seemed unworthy of you, when I read it. If Max has a profitable business, he's already vanquished a key aspiration of HN's members, whatever the product. Only world-changers gain respect?

Interesting. I've built a few PXE-/IPMI-based control and boot systems, but haven't run across the SMASH acronym before. Looks like it was a set of recommendations after IPMI 1.0 that eventually were incorporated into IPMI 2.0, important

The larger sized your display and the denser your pixels, you're correspondingly fighting a sq cm pixel defect rate and drawing lower yields (^2) for each increase, with the obvious effect on price. This is why, at trade shows, you see hug

It sounds like you're making rolling updates across your app server cluster, version n -> n + 1. You have to separate database updates into innocuous and harmful, and your developers have to signal that state for deploy. Changes: a) Sc

Using high-level, no-brainer parallel constructs is kosher (like a pre-built, concurrent data structures lib built by odd people like Doug Lea), similar to the advice about cryptography. Playing with the atoms yourself is dangerous. You c

No, he's rejecting that thinking. It's not what you can find out, Frost and James and Poirier told us; it's what you know.

After the dot-com bust I spent a few years traveling and ruminating. But I also tried volunteering. I talked to the San Francisco Public Library, the Red Cross and a short list of other organizations. I offered a large block of time (up

Alas, they want full-time personnel from Jan-Nov 2011. I often have 30 days at a stretch I could dedicate, but that's a bit much. (And the original poster asks about extracurricular specifically.) That said, thanks for mentioning it. A r

Your submission record mirrors that of most of the top posters I see: the majority of posts get a few votes and die. Assuming your content is HN worthy and you're not posting too much, then it's not about fair, but far more important is th

Good points. An alternative model might be competing for money with your friends, and the system simply is an escrow service and fun web site. Complaining about the results would involve direct social pressure and unlikely to cause grief

This is a great talk and I recommend you watch it. Here are the cliff notes. - Constantly review - People and how they function are more important than ideas; ideas come as a result - Do not let success mask problems, do deep assessments -

To clarify a few points (I had them confused): - If you have an iPhone 3G signal (for example), you're using UMTS (not GSM), which has longer encryption keys (128-bit) and an enhanced protocol. Brute-forcing this keyspace (as in the CCC pa
