No. A simple search of their site will yield that information to you. It's people who log into the site, either mobile or web.

Thanks for this. The more I look, the more it seems like the answer really is "cool, so go make it". :)

Fantastic, thanks so much! It looks like it's almost there, and definitely something I will check out in more detail. Admittedly, my use case is limited, but as services like Mailgun and Sendgrid are demonstrating -- it is not an insignifi

Minor nit: the distribution of Republican, Democrat, and Independent in the population at large isn't 1/3rd each, so your sample is a bit off from representative.

While we all love services like Postmark and Mailgun on HN (and they are great services), does anyone know of any easy-to-setup open source projects that offer similar functionality? Traditional MTAs are a pain to setup and outdated to bo

Don't waste your time on space partitioning trees if you have big data, jump straight to Locality Sensitive Hashing or approximate nearest neighbor graph construction (WWW 2011)

Redis now uses the same journaling for durability that Mongo does. What you get with Redis is complex atomic ops and transactions, but at the cost of not having sharding.

Hey, while we're on USPS feature requests, this one is a bit overdue: SPAM FILTERING. Allow me to blacklist certain senders, that's all.

Now see, your comment rubs me the wrong way. After I got my first job, I splurged on a used 911 Turbo. It got terrible mileage, but made me smile every single day I drove it (which wasn't everyday). Attitudes to money are varied, and the ac

Modern FPS games have detailed stories, considerable original acting and dialog (motion and voice capture), and incredibly detailed artwork. So your analogy doesn't really hold.

I agree with the sentiment, but in this case, the police raided a private business with probable cause, and will hold all assets of that business as possible evidence in a criminal investigation. If your car is found full of drugs, they wil

This will most likely continue to happen in the form of tighter integrations, continually boosting the engagement number, until an antitrust lawsuit causes G+ to split off into it's own company. I suppose the bet is that by then, there will

What's wrong with long polling and keep-alive connections, handled with evented socket code on the server side? Is it mainly because of the HTTP request overhead?

Not at all. He feels that he has the right, as a lawful paying customer, not to be threatened and preached to. Imagine if you sat down at a restaurant, and the server lectured you about dining-and-dashing before serving you. It's his right

In response to your suggestion on data being made available, there are often issues of proprietary datasets that cannot be made public (for legal or ownership reasons). It is a frustrating situation, but one that is not likely to change any

A bit off, but CPAN really hasn't changed all that much. I tried installing a module the other day, something simple like a word stemmer, and got so disgusted that I quit Perl.

As I said, I appreciate the initiative. At the very least, consider posting benchmarks comparing your scheme to the output of gzip.

I respect the initiative you're showing, but I'm a little skeptical of your choice of presenting your own eponymous compression algorithm as part of a portfolio, especially without any theoretical guarantees or rigorous experimental data on

What really stood out for me is the realization that children are imprisoned at Guantanamo. And we're not talking infants, but 13+ kids.

If they're anything like Google, multiple employees have probably already read this and a few have probably already started the escalation process.

I read your comment several times, but I still don't understand why you think Hadoop is the key technology for data interchange between organizations. I don't mean to be harsh, but your comment is a bit like buzzword soup (hadoop, etl, clou

Numb3rs, to me, is a parody of math. You can argue whether it's a disservice to math or not when it's presented as a magical tool obfuscated by senseless jargon and technical term soup, which is what I found Numb3rs to be (and I'm a mathema
