And this is why Blue Origin will ultimately come out ahead in the private launch race. This, for the most part, is technology that once shown possibly, is possible to replicate. But what it takes is money, lots and lots of money. Bezos has

Getting bored of people complaining about politics on HN... Can we come to terms that if stories are getting voted up, it means people want these? I guarantee I'm not the only one who thinks it's complementary to the technical, sc

Amazing ( well, more like sad ) that the first comments I see are "well, we can agree that nazis are bad, but this is a slippery slope, what about BLM, and antifa" Nazism - The belief ( on pseudoscience i may add )that other races

Im sorry, but this is where you need to check your own biases at the door. For example, your statement "A company like Apple has little use for someone who has only ever worked on IT-focused Java development.". Actually, Apple has

It was definitely not one of my better worded comments :) colo == renting space/cooling/power from a datacenter provider to run your own servers. on-prem == on premise installs/support They have two revenue models, SaaS and S

Hopefully now they will realize that they should run on a colo rather than be wholly on the cloud... and hire for that expertise (their previous attempt to do so was a bit amateurish, which is understandable ). Nothing blows money faster

Great article. If anyone who agrees with James Damore's point is motivated to see the reason these arguments are summarily dismissed by many, I recommend reading "the mismeasure of man", by Stephen Jay Gould. The idea of biol

You mean people don't want to wear douchetacles? Color me surprised! And before you downvote me, realize that basically, this is a gimmicky product, even if you think it is cool. While you are allowed to film anyone in public, the act

By that logic, Boston's Route 128 would have continued to be the "tech alley" of America. [1] Just having the talent, a silicon valley doesn't make. Its about the culture of collaboration and openness. [1] https:/&

"about 2.6 billion people (36% of the world population) use the Latin alphabet, about 1.3 billion people (18%) use the Chinese script, about 1 billion people (14%) use the Devanagari script (India)"[1] It'll be interesting to

Why is it not true? Their main competitor, github, runs their own datacenter? Why is that?

Its not "more thank likely", it is the real reason. CDN's could not keep with their volume AS WELL as pricing structure. Latency ( 30ms vs 300ms) doesn't matter much in video playback, only throughput. Once you hit play,

I bet to wager Netflix and Snapchat are at Facebook scale. Certainly $500M/ year in cloud commitments for the next 4 years seem to indicate so.

Netflix runs their most expensive part (pushing those terrabits of traffic ), with their own hardware and network. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ so, you were saying? Or do you think facebook,google,aol,tripadviso

Why was hybrid not considered? With providers like megaport providing really inexpensive direct connect, this is almost a no brainer. This may seem harsh, but relying on random commenters shows a huge flaw in how you guys went about this. P

Why? "your rights stop at mine". If they are willing to wear all encompassing bio hazard suits, and bubble their house, fine by me if they care not to vaccinate... It is our problem when people don't believe in herd immunity

Because your s/n is uberBoober and you registered 2 minutes ago, trying to obscure who you really are? If your opinion is so valid, have the courage to back it up. ( sorry for the off-topic comment )

Who says you get to ask why? No, really! If hacker news is getting political, that is a function of it's users ( and the social climate ). A community is built by its members. For better or worse. Work on addressing the issues that mak

Yea, I had Lasek ( although from what i understand, there's even quite a bit of variations of what is defined as "lasek"). Local Dr in NYC is a huge proponent of it, and well, went for it. ( he's unfortunately known for

And this is why I bit the bullet, and went for the longer healing, but less side effect Lasek[1] (although this applies to PRK as well) It was a "fun" 3 weeks of healing ( versus 1-2 days for lasik ), but PRK based procedures have
