Nice. It is an extremely good name for what it is, and it might (sadly?) succeed based on that alone. Countless energy drinks have paved the way.

I suspect that the interest comes from the radical branding. "Ensure" is associated with hospitals and the aging population, whereas "Soylent" is historically associated with dystopia and recently with some ambitious kid

To used an incredibly cliched example - Zuck and Facebook. A poor example. Zuckerberg was very lucky that he stumbled onto something that his modest PHP and design skills didn't kill, and eight years and 5,000 employees later Faceboo

What I'm feeling is that the large majority of students don't even know it's an option. Honestly, at that level it kind of isn't. If you don't agree, you probably also think that high schoolers would benefit from

There are quite a few startups around Atlanta, and many of them involve GT alum. What you're probably feeling is that they're not making things that show up on Hacker News that you're excited about. This comes from the lack o

Doh, some of these options seem horrible: eg, allowing the data to be extracted automatically using standard tools. If you can automatically detect hidden data, it's only hidden from people who aren't looking. If your data is wort

No it's not. If you live in a detached house your phone line, power, water, cable, etc, is readily accessible from outdoors. I've never robbed a house, but it seems pretty prudent to cut those things with an axe before you enter.

Cox Communications charges $2,500 to fulfill a pen register/trap-and-trace order for 60 days, and $2,000 for each additional 60-day-interval. It charges $3,500 for the first 30 days of a wiretap, and $2,500 for each additional 30 days

Every article arguing against unbundling premium channels misses the point that people who don't want these channels will soon unbundle everything else. Without subsidization ESPN and AMC will be expensive, but it's silly to prete

No, I'm pointing out that even Hollywood thought of this. When Hollywood is using a technology, you can usually assume it's either fantasy or old hat. This doesn't look like fantasy.

That's a ridiculous comparison. For one, the courts didn't find everyone who was surveilled guilty of something for which surveillance was a sentence, and government actions are justified by law, not fiat. For another, your choice

The biggest problem here is a lack of server-side validation. The "remote champion" is determined by the score claimed by a client, so set a breakpoint in the function that posts the score and you can claim that any car parameters

Journalism is about presenting both sides of a story so that the reader can make up their own mind. This is the same line of reasoning that leads to fringe opinions being overrepresented in the name of "equal time". Journalism i

I am amazed at how a minor RC release of this framework gets voted to the front page every couple of weeks. Whoever is making it happen has some serious HN-foo, or knows how to avoid tripping the voting ring detector.
