Any other HN people going? There's a lot of really cool stuff in the AMP stack. I've trialed Spark a bit, and its promise of unifying batch and streaming computations under the same code base is very powerful. I'm also pretty

And Quantcast* disagrees pretty strongly: https://www.quantcast.com/google.com vs https://www.quantcast.com/yahoo.com . This is only traffic to yahoo.com and google.com, though, leaving out youtube, flickr,

Mine is pretty unexciting: https://identicons.github.com/mwylde.png . It would be nice if the algorithm took interest (probably defined as a ratio close to 50/50 white/black cells) into account to prevent mostly bl

People claiming BTC has no inherent value aren't talking about the general concept or code—they're referring to this particular blockchain.

This is a pretty similar idea to my project Slinky [0], and it's definitely a productive way to do single page development. Slinky adds source dependency management (a.js depends on b.coffee), a built in proxy, concatenation/minif

That's pretty reductionist. San Francisco's housing policies are definitely responsible for some of the price difference between here and Tucson, but you can't ignore the geography. SF is a 7x7 mile square surrounded by water

Really, they haven't. Daniel Ellsberg, the leaker of the Pentagon Papers (1971), was also also charged with espionage. In his case all the charges against him were dismissed. Not, to be clear, because of any contriteness on Nixon'

Are you bothering to read these things, or just searching for the term "direct access" and calling it a day? From the statement: "Regardless of the circumstances, our Legal team conducts an evaluation of each request and, onl

Stealthy? Have you actually seen somebody wearing glass? It's the most noticeable thing about them. During IO there were a bunch of Glass wearers wandering around Moscone and people couldn't stop staring (myself included). You&#

That's great, but it's not the law. If you would like it to be the law, work on repealing the Patriot Act and rolling back the worst abuses of the post-9/11 surveillance state. Or donate to the EFF and ACLU, who have been rai

None of those seem to have anything to do with PRISM. This is a confusing situation, because two secret surveillance programs were leaked on subsequent days. These seem to be related to the first leaked program, which involves collection of

At this point, it pretty much is a conspiracy theory. The only evidence we have of these companies' involvement is the leaked slides, which could have been the result of over-promising from a contractor or a misunderstanding from a non

For all those complaining about the language of this and other denials, what could possibly satisfy you? This seems as blanket as possible. "Second, we provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law. Our legal team re

No, that's not the norm, at least not in SF. I work at a later-stage startup and do 8 hour days with the occasional crunch period at 9-10 hours. That's not to say shops with crazy time requirements don't exist, but it's definitely avoidable

This is a rather tired argument. Try to get $50,000 of cash from a bank--you won't be able to without going through some anti-laundering rigamarole. Try to transport $50,000 of cash to another country--if you get caught, you're going to be

Databases tend to fall closer to the programming language side of the spectrum, in my experience. If Github shut down, it would be a hassle but not a fatal one. Same goes for most of AWS (DynamoDB and S3 have compatible open-source alternat

DBs are generally a hugely crucial part of your infrastructure, and it makes sense to be conservative with them. Part of that conservatism is a heavy bias toward open source. Especially given a heavily idiosyncratic database like datomic, w

This is a fairly uninteresting insight--if your data fits on one machine, use one machine to process it! But in many cases, your data does not fit on one machine, even one with gobs of ram and SSDs. In my work, we receive hundreds megs of
