ISP already provide variable speed plans to consumers. You already have to pay more to get a faster connection, at least with Comcast. Very disingenuous and incorrect. I doubt anyone will see dial up speeds. They're not threatening to

This news has killed Rackspace stock, RAX is down tremendously for the last week (although up today). Quarterly earnings come out next quarter, and those have been bad every first quarter so far if memory serves me. So probably not going to

It's frustrating being very late 30's and still not having reached any major successes. All I really want is to be able to have my own single entrepreneur business. It shouldn't be so hard to find at least one idea that will

If you say no and they say 'get out of the way', you better get out of the way though, you can't physically prevent the police from searching your car if they decided to do it anyway. All you can do is hope your lawyer fights

Probable cause is an under-appreciated term. Every American should know what it means. You'll see actors in movies and TV say to other actors posing as police that they can't enter their home without a warrant and that's not

$20 or $30 per performance? Is that what they're making off of each YouTube stream? That's a ridiculous claim. Back in the pre-digital era like the 90's singles were $9 for a CD single. And those usually came with 3 songs, ev

I'm not sure the post ever answers the question given in the title. It gets very detailed, but it's a pretty muddled, unclear answer at best about something related to benchmarks.

GitHub has already won due to networking effects. It's like trying to unseat Facebook as the dominant social network. It will require a sea change in technology used for version control or sharing code.

I've never actually found much value in foursquare even when I tried to use it. Nobody else I know uses foursquare, so it just seemed like something that took effort and did not add much value.

I love Java, especially Java 8. But as the article points out, what frustrates me is threading. You can't do much without quickly running into threading issues. I played audio files in a game I made and it created up to 2,000 threads a

This and the other "leak" are without question the dumbest thing I've ever read on HN. If the author had proof, they would have made that available. But it's obvious this person has nothing, and this person writes like a

I think there is a penalty for showing Googlebot something other than what people can see, but these sites all use tricks to get around it by allowing users to see the same thing as Googlebot in various circumstances. For example Quora has

This absurdity is found all over the internet and it's the result of Google's crawling policy. You can do the same kind of thing with nytimes.com articles and other websites that want their context indexed by Google but at the sam

As long as the user facing API is simple, and the thing works well enough such the user doesn't have to know about how the underlying black box pastes its spaghetti together it doesn't matter. So I think what you are suggesting is
