I don't really understand the technical limitations too much, but the hardest selling point for me is that an ES Bonsai instance cost more than a Heroku dyno. I couldn't get over the fact that I have to pay more for one feature in

Maybe off topic, but why are these hosted search engines so expensive? $45/mo to start. Are there any $5/mo, low volume, machines for hobby developers?

Not sure why this is FP on HN right now, but if we're doing Apple Support this morning, then I just want to say that all of the Macbook Air I have owned had overheating issues after about 1 year. The fan starts going crazy and battery

Is there a way we can get Google to leave this organization? It seems that Apple was able to do it without consequence, what's stopping Google?

> The loans -- can be variable and reset monthly, exposing borrowers to the danger of a sharp spike if the economy shifts Wait, what? Who would actually take that kind of risk? That does not sound prudent at all.

I agree with you that for the people hired to carry out these policies, they are just regular folks who take great pride in doing/having a job. However, after watching those PBS Frotline documentaries "Top Secret America" and

I'll never understand why our politicians continue to cut funding to the one organization that could help the government save AND make more money. Not to mention save all of us from the headache of things like this.

I would use this. I have a bunch of old batteries, light bulbs, and random machine parts thats I been meaning to recycle but never get around to it. If these guys would properly recycle those things for me, I would pay more than $5 because

I like it. I found the site pretty informative from a layman standpoint. I find the whole marketing of vulnerabilities pretty fun. It's like the ASCII art and MIDI in those keygen software.

Could you have cashed that out as USD? How much would it have been?

He also bankrolls candidates like Ted Cruz who is anti-gay, anti-choice etc... I am not trying to start a political argument here. I am only adding to the OP's statement.

A while back I was interested in building a DIY GPS after watching Lost. I day-dreamed about being stranded somewhere remote and building myself a GPS out of spare parts like MacGyver or something. After finding this article, I realized tha

In today's political climate, it doesn't really have to be "classified" for it to damaging. All they need is an email of the president making some sort of offbeat joke about conservatives or something, and that would be

I always wonder how these hackers know which IP range to attack. Is it just like a hit and miss kinda thing? Or do they have insiders who leak those info to them.

It really bothers me that people living in 1911 (and even before that) understand more about the physics than I do. Gosh, I am dummy.

I know this is supposed to be an april's fool joke, but dang, it reminded me of how much I hate this new unlimited TLD crap. I don't really have a good reason, I am just resistant to change I guess.

Man I love the fact that you guys continuously contribute to this community. I hope whatever you are doing spread to other parts of the government. I really enjoy seeing the government engage the community in this way.

So I browsed the comment thread, and you are the first "disagree" I found. I am going to join you here. I think one of the most wrong thing in the article is this statement. > Indeed, reading a voter’s guide is much better: the

Every time I hear these stories I always think to myself, if those guys became engineers, they'd eventually make around $100K. At a modest 20% tax rate, thats 20K a year in revenue for our country.

Don't worry, NPR already did a story on how many of their commenters don't actually read their articles. There is also a weird amount of astroturfing in the NPR comment section.

Can you imagine how much growth there would be in this type of work if we had universal healthcare? That's probably the only thing keeping many people chained to a desk.

Maybe you were being tongue in cheek, but I kind of like this solution. Why don't we just find some non-essential crops and ban them. I am sure it will suck for that farmer, but we're not really in a position to be accommodating t

Man... the folks at Dell are just terrible at marketing. Look at that page the OP linked and the apple macbook page. There is absolutely no comparison. I had to make an effort to find pictures of their product. Even then, the pictures are c
