Agree on the point you make. But out of this context, I think, its useful/interesting for Startup founders, to see what acquisition mails from Google look like.

wow! what a great read. This article confirms the anti-semitism in USSR, which has been described by several others. I am surprised there is no mention of Grigory Perelman[1] in the discussion here on HN. The genius mathematician who proved

Thanks! I had seen the translated interview on this wiki page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Sysoev . I took the liberty of updating the wiki page with your translation as well.

I turned 41 yesterday. Have been programming for over 18 years. Like you I also love it. And since work coding does not offer me enough of a challenge always. I like to do some fun (challenge kind of) coding on my own. Some random examples

Not directly related to your question. But hope this can inspire you :-) "After being rejected by Drona[1] on account of his not being of Kshatriya lineage, Eklavya[2] embarks upon a program of self-study in the presence of a clay image of

I have also wondered a lot about the incompleteness of "link:<mywebsitesite>" command. Google's documentation is not very elaborate regarding that. Google webmaster on the other hand gives a more complete link of external links to t

Well, this shows he is not competent in what he proclaims to be an area of his competency. I don't know how old is he now, may be in his 20s. I remember seeing him on TV few years back, that time he came across as a bright kid (and was comp

This is under category 'satire' so probably not true. Apple is the new definition of evil. They themselves stole from Xerox, once upon a time. And suffered at the hand of Microsoft (because of bad practices). Now when they get a second chan

From an experience: Difficult time passes more difficultly, i.e feels longer. Example on a day if you are fasting, time always seems earlier than what you expect. For example on days I may think 'Gosh its still 12 PM, still 7 hours to go be

Well thanks for the informative read. I don't agree with you that the rest of the site is garbage . Here is another good story I found there: http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/51874 This one is of Miranda Gibson, who is a tree hugger si

Can't agree with you more. I had written the following about 3 months ago: In an Internet 1.0 world "Facebook", would have happened via a 'social' protocol on the Internet just like SMTP, and Zuckerberg would have been a hacker icon just l

I think the case of hidden dot files is a good example of 'convention over configuration'[1]. Point is accepted, that it came into being due to a lazy programmer. But surely early people might have just liked the unintended consequence of

I think I need to alert one thing - particularly on a page like this. If in your settings you have 'showDead' set to on, then you will see a incoherent comment at the bottom of this page from losethos. Some of you folks might remember a dis

Anybody read 'I'm feeling Lucky' by Douglas Edwards? He came across as a good judge of people to me, just based on my reading of the book. And he is not negative on many people in his book. But he was critical of her, and there were lots o

I am sure, they ignored their gut feelings along the way - L&H's bad technology should have rung alarm bells. Also its not known if they met L&H founders - one should be able to smell snakes! Basically whether you pay a $5M fee or $

Its the attitude. And its not because of 'jugaad' as quite a few other comments make here. Its because of another attitude called 'chalta hai' attitude. Which simply means 'even this is Okay'. The reason for this attitude, I think, is be

I think your example of an Enterprise Finance app and TONS of Java programmers is over generalizing things a bit, of who can benefit from things like GWT. I would contest, GWT is used by some people who sort of already grokked some of t

Yes, they are tied to a availability zone. Another thing I found confusing them is the choice of platform e.g. there is Linux and Linux VPC, after some searching I figured I should just choose Linux.

I found the essence of what you are saying and what's there in the book 'Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance' to be somewhat similar. Also, if somebody can share that simulation piece by the Mathematician, it will be really very good

Dear downvoter, I realized it was a bit off topic, that's why you sense a polite explanation in my first sentence itself. And I am not completely off topic, as its partly an interface issue. I am not 100% sure, if such a thing is not possib

Hi! Since we get to know that you are from Amazon and listening, will tell you about another situation, which will help me a great deal. I don't think as of now, I can reserve a smaller configuration and if my need changes can just switch

Can agree with that. 1 month vs 3 years. In fact we ourselves, have not been able to go for a reserved instance yet. Although have been thinking about it for an year or so. As there is always a likeliness of going to a bigger configuration

> I would argue a Hetzner box is more like ec2 on demand than reserved because it can be canceled at the end of any month. Don't agree with this, unless there is hourly billing. As if you just want to try out some thing, say a large ins
