I'm disappointed by this post. There has been some amazing discussion on HN about the limitations of random routing for multi-threaded/event-driven frameworks. This post does not address those concerns. Any app at sufficient scale will stil

The business of government contracting shows these conflicts of interest are real and lead to Billions of $ of waste annually. There is plenty of competition for government work, but there are many ways to game the system even in the rare t

Actually, a little research showed that a 56k modem uses PCM and PAM modulation schemes: http://www.eetimes.com/design/communications-design/4018048/... So primitive...

A better way to picture a dial-up modem's sound is as a digital communication constellation. Modems likely used BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, etc modulations. For a theoretical example, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_amplitude_mo

Interesting. I think part of the fundamental problem is that more criminal activity advances the careers of people who work in the criminal justice system. They have an incentive to turn small crimes into big ones. Then they cry about how m

yeah, and with these streaming services there's also free vs paid users. And Pandora is not profitable. I believe Pandora loses money with each user-hour, which means more users == more losses.

Among the bleeding edge tech community, Deezer and Spotify are considered the poster children. It's interesting how big Pandora's following is, and how this will change over time as awareness for the newer services builds among the general

Social networks are traditionally thought of as a way for people to interact with each other. It changes the dynamic when a service intentionally allows non-humans to have accounts (which seems like a good thing). The question is can bots,

Awesome concept. I like the simple design. The algorithm didn't work so great for me. I regularly check in on 4sq, so the data should be there. I work in DUMBO, live in Bed-Stuy (don't really like it, but it's cheap. that's how you bootstra

"Our infrastructure has the ability to provide much faster speeds today." But they don't. I think that comment pretty much sums up the mentality of the teleco monopolies. They are artificially constraining the supply of bandwidth.

User's old profiles were very valuable. Back in the day, most bands were heavy MySpace users. They built up a huge number of followers. Now that customers have moved on, bands can't access their old fan base. They had to rebuild their onlin
