   What surprises me is $721m seems like a lot for a product no one buys. Also surprised it's not worth employing 100 people bringing in $7m/yr/head. I would employing such people.

   I mean, I've personally used it to access APIs from shell scripts that would have been far more maintainable in a proper Python script.

   This is reasonable. Grinds my gears that the IEEE hoards all computer research and wants at-least $15 for a single paper no matter how interesting or inane. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7942927/ Hey IEEE, y

   Whitespace-implied parenthesis. 1+2 * 3 == 9 Sick! I wish Haskell notices this.

   I love Reddit, but remind me what's their business model? I've never seen an ad using Relay For Reddit. Free content is great but how do they keep the lights on much less justify $1.7 billion? (Also, HN. Servers are cheap but how

    The enclosure is the best part. So cute. How do people have so much time?

    Interesting! Cavium's network processors running bare-metal have features to ensure no core is ever idle. Maybe at the expense of latency. The idea probably doesn't translate to running a bunch of virtual servers. You probably do

    8 DDR channels. Seems like everyone putting 30+ cores on a chip needs to learn this lesson. Memory bandwidth is the bottleneck. Intel uses HBM stacked on the Xeon Phi. Anyone who has the capability should do likewise or maybe try 8 DDR chan

    Depressing thing to Google. Seems like an interesting project that couldn't keep it's funding in volatile times. It might have been Swift or F# if developed at a better company.

    Don't forget the 3 million acres of farmland you need to support your 1 million city folk. We might be able to breed radiation-resistant corn -- not so confident about radiation-resistant chickens. The martians will all be vegan. Good

    And then you have to hope for soil that is not itself radioactive. Lots of soil on earth contains radon, but I don't know about soil on mars.

    I know clang will not let you make a mistake, but it must be some kluge since the C language clearly doesn't anticipate that.

    I mean, hopefully the bird-proofing on those planes is enough to keep a drone from stopping the engine. Otherwise we need to outlaw birds.

    Be careful with those golden handcuffs: they only work if everyone thinks they're real. A bad quarter or even a bad rumor can prompt staff to bail en masse.

    > Equity compensation attracts employees with that mindset. Conversely, if a potential employee would prefer all cash compensation to equity, that would be a big red flag to me. But that says a lot more about you than it does about them.

    Agreed. Whenever I leak, I make sure to pin it on some derp. Throws them off my trail so I don't end up like Manning. As for the derp, she'll get a book deal which is more than she ever had going for her. (Kind of annoyed that the
