When these issues come up, there's always a vague "comes from india" contingent willing to riot and avenge their country over the fact they are the best at everything. (Don't bring up any discussions about infosys, else

It's probably a back channel into existing evil ad networks. Maybe like retargeting (just using existing ad space to show the same at 500 times a day), except all your private information will be logged at your ISP then sent to the ad

"new idea" is a huge stretch. More accurate: "new idea to the mass hacker nerd HN market." Solaris has had—for years—container based virtualization with local virtual network and de-duplicating file system snapshots you

iOS (720p) or OS X (1080p) AirPlay video mirroring is what you're looking for. Mavericks even lets you use an AirPlay display (read: AppleTV) as a fully independent 1080p monitor, not just a mirror.

Apple Stores allow you to walk in, scan an item with your phone's camera, pay, put the item in your backpack, then walk out without talking to anybody. There's a limit ($200 max on phone self-checkout), but they don't seem co

In essence, they believe in the mission of the company so much that they are willing to sacrifice their mission for themselves. In a SV scale-to-the-moon startup, you hire cult members, not employees. You want them to work for minimum wa
