I find it hard to believe that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 which has been anticipated for nearly two decades and is supported by all major hardware and software vendors (albeit with the issues mentioned in the article) will simply be d

I think the problem is they effectively change a problem from having 2 possibilities (either you get $X or you get 2 * $X) to a problem that has 3 possibilities: A/2 (1 possible amount in the other envelope), A (the amount in your envelope)

I'm pretty sure he was just likening it to WireHog since both were P2P social networking apps. Parker's comments about WireHog were in reference to the fact it was designed as a file sharing app while Diaspora is not so Parker's comments ha

Definitely worth watching the entire series, but for those looking to save time: the first video covers the main point and the subsequent videos in the series just reinforce its significance.

I played back in high school and a little bit of college and found them enjoyable, but I don't think I've touched a computer game in the last 4 years or so. I already have so little time, I don't want to waste what I do have on games.

Well cubes says Cassandra isn't purely a key value store and I haven't used it so I don't know its exact capabilities. However, to answer your question, what you could do is keep another entry in the table where the key is the user id and t

NoSQL is basically a hash table. They are much faster than relational databases since hash table lookups are quick O(1). However they don't provide the ability to query the database like you can in SQL. For example, you cannot select all th

It is not applicable unless you plan on running your code on only a specific CPU (and by specific CPU I don't mean that you plan on running only on x86, I mean you only plan on running on the Intel i7). GCC has some macros where you can spe

What the article fails to mention is branch predictors in modern CPUs are generally correct >95% of the time for real world benchmarks (usually SPEC). Furthermore each CPU uses different approaches to branch prediction such that a bad p

It is not that hard to make it looks exactly the same. Just doing a "save page as" in most browsers will automatically store all the html, css, and images needed to render a page to your hard drive. The only reason you noticed the different

I think the common consensus of successful entrepreneurs, VCs, etc is that ideas are cheap and it is execution that matters. Part of the problem with ConnectU is they didn't have an ability to execute their ideas themselves and when they re

I think part of it might be that evolution only cares about how successful you are in passing on your genes. Why do salmon die after mating (its due to exhaustion)? There isn't really any reason they have too, but they successfully passed o

There is tineye.com that lets you upload pictures or use a URL. Tineye tries to find identical images even though they have been resized or altered so I'm not sure if that is exactly what you're looking for.

I'm not sure I can give much advice, but it might help for people to know what you think your target audience is and also what keywords you were using and what your ad text was. To me it seems like you just aren't reaching the people who h

To me the color scheme seems a bit ugly, but others seem to like the site so it might just be me. What I find ugly is the green on gray. Changing either the green or the gray would make the site look better in my opinion.

If you don't want to be creepy you could also word the email as a more generic request for feedback like "if you don't use the app why not, if you do what do you like about it" to make it seem less like you are tracking them although I'm no
