As somebody that has held six different US immigration statuses during a span of a couple of decades, I can almost assure you there is no malice behind this and just pure bureaucratic incompetence. I once had a paper that was supposed to ar

What about two columns? One for popular and another one that peeks the top 10 new ones and keeps updating.

You would be surprised to find out how much processing 400GB of geodata needs sometimes. 7 days in a normal machine to do some non-trivial analysis of OpenStreetMap data. Hadoop can reduce that to hours instead.

Among many other things, with this, MS can now compete with Google Maps. Although they already had a partnership with Nokia, having them with a tighter team integration is a different story. I am sure both MS and Google will do drastic inno

Thank you for the article. It was a great read. About other comments, don't worry too much about them. Everybody that doesn't run their own company is an expert in startups these days.

My gf started using Instacart and I completely fell in love with it. A few days ago, my gf started complaining about some sort of $3 extra charges she noticed. Being a startup founder myself, I reminded her that they are trying to build a

Wow. The producers are more sharks than the sharks themselves. This reminds me of those places where people pay to pitch. What a rip-off.

Please let's just let this topic die. I think I have seen 4 high-ranking HN threads about this already. Probably, this comment of mine is not helping the situation either. sigh.

Having experienced PyCon for the first time this year, I am extremely saddened by how these events have unfolded. Ironically, I think this particular issue is eclipsing how female and kid friendly this conference is. I have attended and spo

I live in SF. I am immune to feeling remotely discomforted by actions/sights/conversations like that.

Only two of those are relevant. With the right content, a third one may also work. The rest, you can ignore

Exactly. Remember the Neo Geo? Arcade-quality games... better than any other console of its time! The price point killed it.

by rburhum 14y ago
You are right. I should have clarified that price point is important when competing technologies are somewhat good enough. The GameCube was competing with ps2 and Xbox at the time. Hardly equivalent. Think a about it this way: A 33Mhz pro

Sadly, no matter what kind of hardware/specs it has, the price point is too high. One reason the Wii took over back a huge chunk of the market was the price point (yes, you can also talk about the novel controllers, games, etc, but it is ha

You are interpreting "Karma" in the Reddit/HNs/Whatever-Internet-Social-Site sense. I am not talking about any exchange or point system whatsoever. I mean Karma in the original buddhist definition instead.

In my experience, I rely heavily on what I consider "Open Source Karma". There are a handful of projects that I use very frequently and my entire (geospatial) industry relies on. For every single one of those, I contribute something . exam

I freaked out when I found out about the "screen" command several years back. "screen" starts a virtual screen that you can detach from with "ctrl-a d" and you can log out, login from a different machine/session and reattach with "screen -r

Thanks for letting me know yellowbkpk. I was switching servers and you probably accessed it during the 10 minute downtime we had scheduled.
