Wow, thanks for taking the time for the recommendation, will definitely check them out. I am a slow reader and so its a good investment of time for me to read a book, which is why I value book recommendations over randomly picking up books.

More importantly you probably shouldn't care or worry about investor/user who reacts on a single tweet without knowing much context. The tweet says nothing about what was the problem, or details about why he might have any particu

And how will Bitbucket magically handle DDOS? Please do share. You are blaming Github for being attacked by DDOS?

Does anyone know of any 23andme like service in South East Asia? When I was in NY, I sent my sample kit from NJ (They don't accept kits from NY). But they never got, but it was too late for me to resend because I moved out of USA. That

Oh I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to the value of the blog.

People paid billion dollars for site that makes $0 money. With that traffic, this is not a bad deal at all.

10 years worth of articles have value, I bet 80% of their monthly traffic comes from search engine. No amount of opening up a new free hosted wordpress blog and calling it the new hackaday is going to change that. You might not see value in

I think its very difficult, if not impossible to have "paranoid level" security for a machine that someone else has full physical access. The assumption here is that amazon also have paranoid level security and their employees are

There is absolutely no way for anyone to report the illegal activity of the NSA without committing any crime or breaking any laws. The law of the land is so severely in favor of NSA protecting its ass, is that the only way to reveal it is t

To state the obvious. Enemy of the USA is not the same as being enemy of the people of the USA, its more like being enemy of the government of the USA. What constitues a country to be an enemy of the USA, and who gets to decide who is the e

This article assumes that NSA and other agencies are doing something nefarious without the consent and knowledge of the president. I think it would be nice for newspapers to concentrate on what would be good for citizens as opposed to what

If you are concerned about privacy, I would also be wary about having servers on some EU countries and check on their relationship with USA in data sharing.
