I posted elsewhere - I'm neither indignant, nor concerned that food will be replaced by soylent. I'm negative about Soylent because instead of the message being, "Hey look, we're trying to make mass market meal replaceme

The thing that bothers me about Soylent is the arrogance that the incredibly complex interplay of how the food we eat interacts with our body can be distilled down to a simple formula - X g protein/kg bodyweight, etc. We still don&#x27

If this person is so critical, why would you not bring them into the fold and make them an employee or co-founder? Because you really are setting yourself up for disaster when they can just walk at anytime.

It is mostly a twitter joke that idiots said, along the lines with the (fairly small as an actual percentage of the american populace) who said, "Keep government out of my medicare!" (medicare is a government healthcare program).

I'm not disagreeing with the fundamental point you're making: obviously a skilled professional is not just going to throw their hands up and bail for no reason. But I think that highly skilled professionals of all stripes grapple

I agree with the idea that we should invest more in scientific research in this country. But the 18% considering leaving the country metric is insane. This is like the percentage of people who claimed they were moving to Canada when Bush w

1. This is debatable, but probably too long a discussion to have over HN. 2. Once you're "running a script on the target that loads the correct variables", you're doing configuration management. There needs to be a me

Package managers are okay mechanisms for installing software, but really limited for configuration management. For example: - I need to configure 50 virtual hosts, each containing a different set of web content - should I make 50 separate

Well, it's nice to hear from someone trying to defend the logic. Again, this wasn't my experience, so I can't assign motive to anything like that, but let me try to add a little context: I'm not defending this practice

An acquaintance of mine applied for a product management job, did two interviews in NY that went fine, then was flown out to MTV for a series of interviews. When this person got there, two of the people they were supposed to meet with were

If I can make a suggestion from my limited experience dealing with the older folks in my family - there's a number of older folks who see the current situation as you age as basically a binary choice: A) you stay home and maintain inde

I think it's not unreasonable for senior management at a company to say, "Geez, you know, we have our fingers in too many pies". Sometimes their logic is sound - they're distractions, they're consuming resources th

Take a look at my response upthread - basically, they're not sub domains, they're arbitrarily registered name server entries to provide glue to other lookups. The Whois record is just the side effect
764.
by mattzito 13y ago
This is because under the Verisign GRS, name servers for second level domains also get entries created. So, you can create a Whois entry for an arbitrarily named server, like ycombinator.com.paulgraham.have.mychildren.com, and it will show

It seems like that might be eventually possible, but for now the technology is limited to a few minutes - like until an airway passage could be cleared.

I generally agree - but the only thing I'll say to defend stealth startups is that sometimes it makes sense to keep quiet until you have something to show people. Not for competitive reasons, or because you're worried someone&#x2

The statement was: > "being good at engineering doesn't qualify you for managing product" Which is demonstrably true. They're two different skillsets. If we reversed the statement: > being good at product managem

Perhaps it works that way in the UK? Seems odd to me as well.

The reality is that the NY Times was going to have him focus on politics, with the odd foray onto TV to promote his own brand. Or, he could sign up with ESPN/Disney, and do sports on ESPN, politics on ABC, and so on. He'll have a

I agree with part of what you're saying. I think that kids should be exposed to a wide range of experiences - it's important that they get to self-direct, but if we let all 4 year olds only eat and do what they wanted, we'd

Maybe, or donate on your behalf, but they could compel you to say you're still donating, and the EFF says that they don't disclose donor info except as compelled by law - so I assume they could be compelled to keep reporting so.

And then the day the webcam broke, customers fled in droves. Or, the government simply says, "You have to say that the new server is a web server". This is why I'm always skeptical of things like "warrant canaries"

I can't speak for OP, but I suggest that they're highlighting the fact that instead of a broad base of large companies in a variety of industries, Canada's big company wealth is highlighted in a narrow set of verticals. This

It's long been a best practice for highly secure environments to use transport encryption between all tiers. The idea is that if someone compromises your datacenter, it's often a second-tier box, a forgotten web app, an ssh basti

I use unsalted stock exclusively in my cooking, because I like the ability to add salt in later, and if I'm adding other salty ingredients, I don't have to worry about overdoing it.
