I just think A) we have to be honest that is only a tax on the poor B) then have the rich pay in a different way, maybe it should be a limit on duration of travel or miles by humans, ie. no matter what car you drive or who drives you you&#x

Unless they morph into something different or maybe try to be everything for everyone which seems to be the strategy nowadays, e.g. FB, Amazon, at least Amazon completely dominated the book sector before morphing.

It is amazing how a few analysts can change how much a company is valued on the stock market. Has the opinion about Snapchat on tech forums like this, whose opinion should matter since we're literally the people who built it have signi

The fact that you're getting onsites after phone interviews is a good sign, it's almost a 2 to 1 ratio. Although 7 onsites is not huge but is a sign that something may not be working. Let's assume you're doing pretty dec

I don't know if you can phrase it like this. If there was such an answer to your question you'd know that before you'd know how to write a single line of C. There are many fragmented things each with its own quickly diminishi

The page is extremely void of any details, reminds me of Cable companies landing pages. This is odd because I noticed there has been a recent explosion of third party live CNN, FOX News, ... channels, not sure if this is because YT made the

It doesn't look that bad, think about it S3 is such a critical part of almost any web application, it is treated like a realtime micro-service. So looks like most of the Internet in the U.S. is affected but nevertheless no one is dead

I try not to put all my eggs in one basket, that's why for images I use imgur. They have a great API and it's 100% free. There is a handy ruby gem [1] which takes a user uploaded image and sticks it on imgur and returns its URL wi

I think you're missing the point, of course in an ideal situation where risk is minimized that would be a good question. But by focusing on money I think you neglected to address the obvious point that I raised namely what if it blows

I am trying to verify its legitimacy, how can you silently accept such a critical post on face-value, no I don't work there. Giving voice to false claims intensifies their illegitimate power and in societies that this prevails that sam

You're right I misread the testing part. I'd very much still like to know who those people are and what their thought process is.

Who are the two "private citizens"? Seems to be mere urge of "universal human exploration" to go around the moon and not landing on it, etc. isn't doing much exploring, but rather taking a lot of risk on a manned sp

We at NetIn take a different approach, we look at open source languages you've written your code in and what skills other engineers at your organization are known for before we rank you for a given skill.

I think it's mainly because search engines so far have not had access to annotations, therefore the discovery had to rely primarily on what the consensus is from other properties (to a large extend property owners) about what's im

Maybe moderation should be outsourced, e.g, AdBlock lists are crowdsourced, but there are different lists you can subscribe to. Wikipedia, Reddit, HN, FB, Youtube, Twitter, each have their own moderation policy, one could simply opt-in to a

What are the benefits of terminating SSL early at the CDN level? It seems to me the risks associated with not having SSL still remain they're just shifted to between the CDN and the backend. Is it much more than just giving lip service
