First, I read this as "Unsecure data centers offer colo" which did not make sense. Then, I realized this company is spamming by making random posts on quora and linking to them here. See also https://news.ycombinator.co

My biggest disappointment with Uber is that they did not actually implement a double-auction, and instead they try set prices.

C's Standard Library doesn't suck, and, in all my decades of programming, I did not hear that statement at all. The standard library just doesn't give you much. Things have gotten better with C99 and C11, but there are many t

Math is the easy part. Having the intellect to understand what the numbers coming out of the sausage machine is harder. As always, the incentive is to ignore all that difficult stuff ... Look ma, I am soooo machine learned!

It seems to me the kids who program these toys have never driven anything other than the RC model they built to get this job. And, of course, it drives fine on the toy "roads" they set up on the carpet in the living room. Real wor

Roads are not public goods. They are certainly excludable, and, beyond a certain level of traffic, definitely rival. Update: "Public good" is a technical term, see, inter alia, https://www.khanacademy.org/economics
