lol well, it was more of a quick visceral reaction than a detailed analysis, I probably would have forgotten about it if you didn't ask for my reasoning :] I've actually got half a dozen computers more powerful than the one they're offering

Well, assuming this is a reputable company, theoretically it's the same as a VPS. I think (perhaps too much) about leaks, possible ways that information I want private can get public, which is perhaps a vestige of the habits of my youth. Th

They're probably just trying to drum up hosting business and many people will call me paranoid, but I prefer my work stay completely private until it's time to go public and I'd rather be more sure of privacy by being a proper customer.

In the next few months, I'm going to launch a site with micropayments for particular bits of content. I'm currently researching different options and defaulting to FPS for obvious reasons, I wonder how this new service compares?

not just no, but hell no. it's not like a vps I have control over is expensive enough to justify the risk of exposing data to an unknown party.

If it works, nothing wrong with playing sensationalist games and since you anonymized yourself, well kudos for having balls to take a shot. I personally can't imagine it being particularly effective vs just talking about your skills, but if

>No. The black hole simply gets smaller - at no point does it ever stop being a black hole. Is this the case and do you have any good references on this topic? I had thought after a sufficient period the black hole does in fact disappea

Yes, indeed. There have been plenty of competent articles written about how ego interferes with maximum performance. I really don't see the need to read or write a really long article complaining about some particular group of people. I don

I found this kind of a very odd statement. Isn't the event horizon a consequence of the stuff going on underneath? The image I have in my mind is of water draining out of the tub and wanting to strip off the top layer of water to see what's

my understanding is they naturally evaporate over time, a process we can't really impact but which is significant because... if a black hole that has sucked in M units of mass evaporates, where does the mass go?

it's also extraordinarily difficult if not impossible to prove. This is a problem for researchers, not people looking for ideas for startups.

There's a lot of wisdom wrapped up in this small statement.

I'm very much in agreement here. Sound body, sound mind and all that. A few comments: Micronutrients - you should take a vitamin daily Omega 3s - these are well worth supplementing, they play a key role in brain development and I have felt

and what would tesla have accomplished if he had just taken money seriously, rather than spending years digging ditches (literally)? If someone offers you a million dollars and you don't take it, you're acting totally insane (unless you alr

>I measure my success not in fame, but in... money, primarily I measure it in money right now. Excellent programmers always recognize each other, "regular" people don't get it any more than we get artists.

It's 4 clicks to disable in firefox, many people learn it lurking forums and other porn sites, I don't believe you can assume this.

to some extent, I decided to use couchdb because I trust apache with server stuff. I've slotted mongodb in for testing next time I have the luxury of time, though.

the power of sqlite is often underrated, jetty too.

The point was that if the data is public, more independent observers can perform experiments (as in your other example, taking their own arsenic levels). This may be funded corporations or citizen watchdog groups or whatever. You're talking

I often wonder this myself, something seems to make people more inclined to disagree than agree.

I think you underestimate people a little bit. Let's take your example in a world of data accessibility : Research groups do spot interviews for fatalities in the iraq war. This data is submitted to the central repository. The government an
