Google is definitely aware of this kind of abuse, and it's not too small to notice, too far into the long tail, etc. The real problem here is that Analytics has that real-time view. If a spammer creates a test account and then tries to

One interesting option is hydrogen generation and injection -- hydrogen gas is hard to store but it reduces engine temps because it produces water.

No, he's disclaiming his anecdote by admitting up front he isn't like the article's author who will now switch to Linux. He's just an OS X user who has the same complaints (but, apparently, no recourse)

Only, that's not what he said. You say, "religion was the only available mental framework" He says, "philosophical roots of Christianity back into Greek thought" ... and ... "philosophical roots of your modern

Perhaps you can use this thread to recruit an India-centric team and create a separate site at cryptb.in (not saying you have to but to quote Pirates: "if you were looking for the perfect moment... that was it")

The real question is, what happens if you flash a custom BIOS that just ignores the ME? Intel chips up to (I think) 2006 would happily boot without the ME enabled ("ME optional"). Intel's newer chipsets have a watchdog in the

It may just be that Intel has abandoned this use case to the GPU. Which obviously is bad news for those of us who still rely on CPU SIMD. But wtallis' argument to the contrary is quite compelling: https://news.ycombinator.co

I sincerely hope things work out for you. You absolutely will find jerk VPs and bait-and-switch. Patrick's article glosses over that, only briefly mentioning all the times he shot for enterprise and "missed." If you want to t

Did you omit a word? ("Type III __ at best") I agree that a Type III Civilization is just an assumption of what direction a civilization would advance. The article does mention an alternative (they no longer care about meat space,

Now you're just insulting artists, of which I am one. We create for many different reasons. Don't reduce us to just wage-slaves.

Free is not a lie, it's the simple physics of copying bits. DRM and the old record companies are the lie you're selling. If they were fighting for their lives, they wouldn't have Washington DC, Apple, Google, Microsoft, New Z

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I disagree, which is why I picked other companies as my examples: companies for which you _are_ the customer.

Why are we working on new distribution channels like The Pirate Bay? Because we categorically reject the notion that corrupt, law-breaking middlemen who abuse the artist's right to be paid and abuse or refuse service to the customer --

When you say "A lot of Europeans," can you cite a source, like a poll or even an internet forum, where like-minded Europeans express this view? I'm not challenging your assertion, I'd just like to see it in action and me

So your dilemma could be a false dichotomy if (and I realize it's a big if): * BBC puts things on the global internet * Global users can discover it more readily * BBC becomes well-known as a provider of quality content * Demand for BB

Well, I wouldn't say they _all_ shy away from it. But I agree with your premise, that hard problems with large rewards require a different sort of VC pitch and may take longer to see a payoff. And are completely worth pursuing!

I'm not concerned about H1B's taking over US jobs. I can understand that labor unions want to push that message in the same breath they decry US immigration laws. I am concerned that H1B's are indentured servitude. That term
