I've applied economics to historical and current data to discover where markets were mispricing assets. But for myself, as a hobby. Not sure what you're looking for but might be able to point you to a source of info...

Good. Washington state, during the boom of the 1990s, grew state expenditures as if they expected no end to the good times. When the dotcom crash happened, they started raising taxes to keep spending at the bubble levels. They could have pu

DomainTools does have customer service. Their not very secretive, so you could concievably just drop by their offices. They're located in downtown seattle, so not that far from you. They may have a policy against it, in which case you may

No inside knowledge, so this is speculation, but it appears that YC focuses more on "lean" startups, while founders fund seems to tend to invest in companies with larger capital requirements.

I forgot how bad Mike Arrington is. I have a 1st generation iPhone. It has never dropped a call. Not once. And I used to live in with a mountain between me and the nearest cell tower. Why is it so many "geek" news sources are run by anti-g

Looks good too. Ruby is not a problem. I've now got multiple choices that seem like they can do the job and just need to decide which one is the best fit. Thanks

Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like each Job Server is a separate queue? Not sure what happens if one of the job servers dies then. It does handle load balancing in a nice way.

Thanks. I'd seen it a long time ago, and forgotten about it. Looking into it now. Seems it gives me choices for the backend including RabbitMQ and Redis.

Ask HN: What's a good, open source, distributed, worker queue?

This is about the fourth time I've lived thru one of those consensus end-of-the-road forecasts for semiconductor feature sizes. Each time hey have gone past with maybe a years delay. Of course, lithography canny be extended forever, thou

Bless techcrunch's heart, they do not understand the difference between outsourcing design and manufacturing, that is what happened to the crunchpad!

I finally opened a Facebook account years ago when I became convinced they kept private info private, now they are making private info public by default, and I no longer trust them. I certainly won't be buying a phone from them.

I've done both. It is better to go single than have a founder who isn't in sync. If you can find a founder who is in sync with you, that is best. But most of the startups I've seen fail, even though the blame was placed elsewhere, really

The blame may be pinned on ETFS if it happens, t the mechanism described in this article is really a regulatory construct that creates a type of short selling that is problematic. Maybe it might also exist in a free market, but it is prote

Btw, one thing ive been looking for is a relatively high level queue/worker service, that is already written and distributed. I'd like to be able to write workers in JavaScript or python, and found one the other night in erlang that does t

Thanks for your thoughts, and I don't disagree with the general philosophy you're pitching. I think, though, you may be imagining something different than I'm trying to describe. It seems that you're thinking in terms of front end and back

Just feedback, i think youre doing a lot right here, but heres the stuff i didnt get: Maybe this makes more sense for canadians but I can't figure out if tis is useful for Americans or not. A diagram might help a lot sine there are several

This is tne most interesting language in a long while. Sure maybe learning erlang directly might be better, but since so many are unwilling, you'd think an interest in real concurrency would push them to effete. I hope it is gaining momen

Hilarious! To give you an idea of the feeling you're giving people, imagine the day when someone asks you why the M in the GMAIL logo looks so funny!

Very good point, but there's also, seemingly, a widespread perception that those killed by government policy are not really murdered the way those killed in the holocaust were. Start 100 million and you can always blame it on "the capitali

The real difference is google gives you app inventor for free, and while apple makes it's sdk available for free they charge you $99 a year to put the results on your device. I'm a little surprised there isn't a larger open source communit

Update: ------- -- PowerDNS as authoritative server is almost laughably easy. They have a pipe backend and example which would take just a few minutes to rework in python to pull records from CouchDB. A few minutes more and it could check

No denying the influence of GNU, but have you noticed that commercially tolerant licenses are becoming more popular and businesses are some of the biggest producers of new major open source projects?

You mentioned raik/Cassandra etc do the clustering better, and this may be true, but a big part of the attraction of couchdb is couchApps and the built in map reduce which does the data crunching we need to do in a way well suited to our pr

I believe it, but I was just going to be using it as a cache and memcached seems more appropriate.... I'd rather memory only cache ghat uses least-recently-used purging than one that I'd trying to be s persistent database. Might still use r

Let me guess, all this over engineering nonsense set your startup back 3 years.

Further investigation reveals that node.js is probably not ready for prime time, which is too bad given that it is trying to do the right thing. This shouldn't be too bad because powerDNS has been around a long time, and webmachine or anot

Already doing very well in the marketplace, thank you very much. Our iPad product is a huge success, so I figure when the market expands to 100million devices rather than a couple million, I'll be spending some of my upcoming vacation time
