http://news.ycombinator.com/newest The submissions go there first, and bubble up to HN main page only if they get enough upvotes. This kind of question is pretty useless as a poll, if pg shows actual statistics I think it would be pretty

The assumption is there is no good reason for the US to default, as it can always print more dollars and pay debt with them. In contrast, Greece can't print euros by itself.

It's not just the data, it's also what you do with it. I think a typical social network is a reasonably good fit to the relational model. But this is mostly because any given user cares only about his friends, and at most about the friends-

This is not a very useful statement, because there is no clear-cut border between relational and non relational data. You can map everything to a relational schema and to most nosql models.

For the startups to be less of a commodity, perhaps you could look for some sort of unique perspective on the world that founders should have. It seems Google founders had a lot of that. This may not help with the returns though; maybe more

I only know Tarsnap, and it is a backup service, not quite useable for "file transfers" and sharing. There's a fundamental tradeoff between security and convenience, and Dropbox is on a sweeter spot than the high-security offerings.

Can it work farther back in time? interesting if there are longer term trends. Happiness particularly can be indicative about the overall satisfaction from HN.

Awesome work! Can you normalize it against total text volume? Number of mentions always goes up with time as HN grows, % of posts mentioning will be a better measure of mindshare.

PG says the first iteration doesn't matter much as long as the founders are good and iterate quickly. Empirically, is this the case? Airbnb and Dropbox certainly didn't iterate on their concepts that much. Google's first shot was excellen

If you upload stock market data, you could see if there are searches that strongly predict certain stocks.

Yeah, Google and the other 20 search companies at the time. I don't think this became an issue before search became reasonably good, when they didn't have a choice but follow through. I also think Google broke and still breaks rules, just y

This is false. I've reverted to older firmware before. There's even a dedicated button in iTunes for that.

I enjoy Ben's posts a lot, but what has actually happened to Skype since eBay sold it? IP lawsuit was resolved, the Skype network effects continued to work, the economy changed, is there anything else? It doesn't seem to me like much value

For a startup at such an early stage it would be a mistake to worry about "cannibalising existing business" - if they don't do it, someone else will. Disruption is all about finding a better economic local minimum. This is what abnb does an

Tornado devs recommend using blocking mysql drivers and disk I/O. These operations have relatively low and predictable latencies. You can run more Tornado processes than the number of cores is if CPU is underutilized.
