What? I saw a bike leaning and turning. The passenger is "doing nothing" because it's just a checkered ball without animation, but that it's not how bikes normally behave (assuming a "passive passenger" as they

Not at all. When you ride a (motor?)bike you still do a lot of work by yourself to keep it balanced, thing is, you become so accustomed to those things that its easy to think that they happen "by themselves" but nope. Try turning

Wow, the C1 looks awesome but I would be really hesitant to put my life into one of those things. Thing is, if the car you're on loses power you are pretty much safe all of the time, if your bike loses power you may have some trouble b

Everything's fine, everything said so far here it's fine. But I was around here when that happened, which was not that much time ago so I find it weird that you guys don't remember. Twitter pulled some very dirty stuff on Mee

Twitter ripped off Meerkat. That's all I will ever see to this story. I don't care how succesfully they may be or become. Disclaimer: I don't work for Meerkat. It's just the way it is. Twitter deserves every bad bit of l

>it's not that hard to arrange proper redundancies in your systems If it really were like 'apt-get install redundancy' I'm pretty sure that AWS would have 1/10th the clients it has now.

Do you think they have a special deal w/ Amazon? Otherwise I imagine that's a really expensive bill. Do you think they're doing it because its cheaper when you account for things at a larger scale? Like, reduced liabilities,

This is honestly one of the few really good and creative ideas I've seen here in a VERY long time. I really don't mind sharing an audio hash with someone that already has my full banking information/history in there. Not only

Well... that third-party already something valuable of you. Your email, bank account, whatever is behind that auth. So, do you trust a third party having that information of you?

I'm reading that one, thanks. I really dont know the PageRank algorithm, but I was really impressed by their results, a trillion of "something" in 3 minutes. I thought that just reading things should take you a lot more than

Their test machines have 16-cores. They're running 2.9Gops/core. Plausible, yeah. I'm not used to see real things achieve almost 100% efficiency, sounds really good.

>we were able to execute PageRank on over a trillion social connections in less than 3 minutes per iteration with only 200 machines Colour me skeptical, that's around 28M edges per second per machine.

As you do, I have a lot of programs and extensions installed on my machine. How about you install them all on yours? Come on! Don't be grim! They are fucking awesome and if you don't use them it's not like it is the end of th

If you owe debt and you are burning through your cash and there is no sign of turning the situation over in the near future, then you are "drowning in debt", IMO, or you will be in a very short time. But that's just me and my

I haven't take a look at their last quarter report but I don't think their situation changed from: http://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-debt-rated-as-junk-14159... to a healthy one in less than a year. Can you

by anotherangrydev 11y ago
Yeah, but it took them many years and massive leverage to achieve that. Also, revenue != profit. As of today, they are drowning in debt, there doesn't seem to be a strategy for turning things around and now investors don't even be

I see Google a little adrift in many of their new ventures, from Google+ to date. But, however, they maintain a pretty solid strategy in the fundamental products that generate most of it revenue, which is pretty much the ad market. I think

I really wish I had enough karma to downvote this opinion. It just reeks of ignorance and short-sightedness. Polyvore is far from a "fashion startup". It has a very substantial user base and their whole proposal allows for very na

To add another example, I normally do JS using Node and there (and also in IE) you have a very useful function: setImmediate. A few days ago, when doing some client-side JS I wanted to use it and I saw that it is not part of a standard, not
