Wow, async tasks on top of WP? You are truly heroes, in a sick and twisted kind of way. Nice work.

No these are not the reasons: 1. This cost is minimal, and most of the time will be served from cache anyway. I'd be willing to stake a claim that literally zero people ever have worried about the cost of serving jQuery when they were

Yeah you know, you're right about Roemer, I read a bit more about him and I was wrong. Very atypical for an LA governor haha.

I believe they mean the SiftSciences customer's time, not the hacker's time. They are proposing that fraudsters tend to hit in the middle of the night based on where the target is hosted, not where they are.

Wow those are three highly politicized choices. I'd like to say they balance each other out, but Roemer is really an R, and acted like one when he was a D in LA. When Bush's Ethics Czar is the moderate of the bunch there are iss

I love these. Building fraud detection systems is so funny because the signals themselves end up usually being really simple, it's just a matter of: a) Having the tools to look at all your data to see where the patterns are b) Having

It's complicated. You could argue stress is always the root cause and what varies is simply one's reaction to the stress. I feel deeply uncomfortable drawing a line between people who have "real depression" and "s

Not parent, but if you make those (completely reasonable) points when you criticize PHP he's not talking about you when he says "HN Hipsters." He's talking about the "What kind of idiot uses php?" crowd, which

Yeah, I don't mean to imply there is anything wrong with medication, but what you've found is that you've exhausted the limits of what your GP can do for you. So it's time to move on to a specialist. I would suggest st

No, not as a character flaw, but as a reasonable response to a huge amount of stress. I still agree that he is dangerously ambiguous and mostly incorrect though.

That's a completely incorrect read of the USV thesis. What about marketplaces like Etsy? What about networked enterprise businesses like siftscience?

They are giving people advances so that they can live while they write the book full time. An example is someone who used to be a journalist can use their success as a journalist to sign a book deal and work on that. It's similar to

I also was confused but I think he was referring to the constant (alleged) behavior of Amazon towards his portfolio companies in which they act like partners/potential acquirers and then just build the tech themselves.

The shift happened when Europeans came to the new world and saw it as 'carte blanche' to invent cities, top down, in their image. The Europeans had wanted to do that for a long time in Europe, but had lived with cities that had g

Istanbul is massively massively spread out, and because of that loses many of the economic benefits that non traditional cities have. You really can't have your cake and eat it too here...

I object to the tone of the piece suggesting that one particular style of living is better as it is clearly preferential outside of any objective measurement (ie: GDP/person, CO2 emissions/person etc.).

Wow this is an incredibly short sighted and "get off my lawn" piece. The author completely negates the massive cultural multiplicative affect humans get from living millions at a time together, among many other advantages. I&#x27

The legal justification is that it is the same as police setting up a road block and reading license plate numbers as traffic flows by, or in the case of packet inspection actually doing "drunk driving" stops, which are legal. Edi

Sure I think that's a reasonable question. On a basic level I expect that Amazon will continue to grow, and that in the future the value of the stock will be increased and that I'll be able to sell it. I think an Amazon that was

This is probably the 10th time this has happened in Amazon's history. I am invested and not worried at all, FWIW.
