Like RSS? Sorry I couldn't tell if you were being snarky or not. Google killed RSS when they killed Reader.

Yeah running multiple servers is easy and the daemons are very mature at this point. LDAP daemons aren't crash prone. I haven't had an LDAP outage in over 10 years.

Maybe we're old school, but we use autofs and nfs to mount homedirs and ssh keys on demand. Puppet handles host ssh keys across machine rebuilds. It works well, no need to replace it IMHO.

Hobbyists like to do things for themselves and better understand how things work. It's the nature of being a hobbyist rather than a consumer.

Before the days of prevalent computers and searchable databases, one would just take someone else's information to the DMV and get a real ID with their info.

For those that don't click through, the only exception is tuna. It lives deep enough in the ocean and is clean enough to get around the "must be frozen" rule.

You need to visit more of the US than just the Bay Area, CA. Bay Area seafood is pretty weak overall as there's not that much left locally. It's mostly imported. In fact, most of the stuff in CA isn't that great; you need to

I'd hardly call Basecamp a startup. It's rather long-lived and has a proven business model at this point.

This is curious considering DHH's involvement in Basecamp and how often he espouses European ideals. You'd think they had a year of maternity and paternity leave.

Isn't AT&T the only major US carrier doing IPTV? The results have been pretty bad. They were using multicast for a while but scrapped it. I'm not aware of anyone planning a large IPTV rollout; it's been dead for years.

Is there a new way around the requirement to rebuild your entire replication topology after upgrading versions? (say 9.4 to 9.5) You get a new master ID when running the initdb step, and doing this throws everything else in the topology off

Ah! Thanks for the clarification! Also, I screwed up when I said table sugar. I meant commercial sugar used in things. Table sugar still comes from sugar plants.

Don't beets contain a lot of sugar? Isn't that what table sugar is refined from these days?

People watch margin interest and amount of margin buys very closely. They can be indicators of over heated or bubble markets (especially in emerging markets). China has basically endorsed margin buying to prop up their insanely overvalued s

Here's one from 2011: http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/07/singapore.water.... I guess now they do more desalinization and recycle sewage water for drinking.

It's usually much more subtle than that. Repair bills for this and that on a regular basis. Then a big ticket item like new fridge or plumbing repair. Later you'll find that the fridge wasn't actually replaced, the plumber is

Ironically, isn't potable drinking water supply an issue for Singapore? It's mainly brought over from Malaysia, right? Read a few articles on the subject in the Straights many years ago.

People do. A lot. My father was an ophthalmologist,and people really dig being able to see. It was just an endless parade of gifts and people stopping by to say thank you at our household.
