Well, we'll just have to rely on our experience then. I haven't dealt with dedicated servers plans, but my impression of "DDoS" protection in that regard is that your traffic will get blackholed if it's bad enough.

The inevitable "Hacker News Devil's Advocate" post. Yes, the OP is complaining about marketing pages, because he doesn't want to deal with marketing! He wants the danged download! If there's something wrong with tha

From my understanding, no. The tools are not linked by code. I'm free to write a proprietary coreutils test suite and charge $100 for it, so long as it doesn't hook directly into the source of the tools. If it's only interact

I dare say most people who read the headline knew OpenSSL wasn't planning on killing itself after getting a few million dollars in funding.

I will challenge you on one point: Keyless ignitions are kind of cool (I own a vehicle with one), but the mechanisms of enabling the two stages of aux power before "engine on" are cumbersome. The behavior of the button changes wit

I think some valid points were made. It also saddens me that "love of books" takes a back seat to "learn to read". What went wrong? Has education quality decreased? Has parenting quality decreased?

My job as a sysadmin is to keep servers running and log their status and errors. When a large team has many jobs: -Yes, I want central logging -I probably did buy nginx (you're telling me this was already available, but closed source?

Attention: Not everyone is tech-savvy, tech-anything, or security-anything. Saying "Security breach, no biggie" is not a proper way to communicate with the general public about a service for which they pay. -Scope of breach? Check

Since this thread is potentially used for feedback, and no upvote numbers are provided, let me say: this. While the new features are welcome, the new presentation is not, at least for me. Now I can't even describe the old format, or cr

What sort of tools can I create in Go? Say I'm someone who programmed six years ago and since then has only a cursory exposure to Python, some Scala and Perl. What "real" applications, desktop, server, web or otherwise, shoul

Obviously at least several people didn't know what BPG was, and I have been spamvoted down for it.

I can imagine generics being useful if you create large amounts of context-aware types, like was discussed in an HN post a week or so back.

Postgres is winning the war with MySQL, if you're going to classify it that way. And from everything I've read and heard on HN, Postgres is constantly improving on clustering/HA fronts.

I wonder what would have happened to the "Yuppie Eradication" project had the owners of said vehicles possessed defensive means such as firearms.

Best comment so far. If his intention was to say "Diverse staff; we are looking for new and varied backgrounds and cultures to cover our stories", he should have said something along those lines to avoid the expected (and justifie

It was pointed out already: A firm started by Glenn Greenwald and edited by "John Cook" who I am assuming is as white as snow, putting discriminatory standards as their lead qualifiers.

So you must also support non-compete clauses. If I work for Google, I shouldn't be able to quit and work for Microsoft, right? How dare I take all my knowledge and apply it elsewhere? The implications are the same, and in both cases, I

Furthermore, this man supported a controversial cause to the tune of peanuts worth of money, and his job is to run a tech non-profit. There are probably thousands of of other companies and people HN'ers interact with every day that hav
