Fair question. The basic internet email spec has virtually no security features whatsoever, and is completely unauthenticated. Mailing list management software doesn't forge sender information, but rather often retains it and generally

Not 1:1, no - thanks for clarifying that. But depending on the content and the indexing, there is a strong correlation between the size of the database and the memory requirements under Mongo DB.

Yes, and an important limitation stems from this as well. For a tool like Redis, it's fairly easy for me to accept the limitation that my data size can't exceed available RAM. But for an indexed document store with full-text query

One issue with Deis is that it depends on Chef Server. As an admin, I've happily left that whole model far behind. For me that single dependency is a deal breaker.

Actually the issue was that I was using Google's DNS. When I disabled that, it worked just fine. But thanks for showing me the Chrome trick. As to the technically correct statement, don't you think that saying a site is a "kn

I was very disappointed to watch in real time as this post was moderated off the HN front page and into oblivion. It happened at 8:46 PM PDT on April 3. Once it reached #24 on the first page, even as it was gaining points and comments, this

Whatever your beliefs, I'm not sure how this saga fosters either inclusiveness or diversity, and I'm afraid the word community has lost all meaning.

Much success and wisdom to you in your efforts - love the courage, and your eagerness to take feedback. As to the app, my recommendation is to avoid putting .zedstate files inside the project directories themselves. Instead, keep them in a

I suspect the missing checkmark beside HBO GO is more about putting pressure on HBO than on Amazon. It's got to be just about price and term, with Amazon showing strength by announcing without them. But when both sides agree on price a

Not because that was the intent of Stack Exchange, but in my view that's the end result of the generally hostile culture at Server Fault. Don't get me wrong - striving for excellence requires high standards. But in Meta, their bes

Well, I think the crux of my criticism is that I'm not sure there actually is a real professional market for e-ink devices.

Very good - then don't you also share my skepticism about this as a viable product? The first meetings I had about Que was actually with Hearst, if I recall. The Plastic Logic play was backed by content providers seeking a new channel,

Agreed. In fact, all of the myriad secondary costs and benefits from commerce are already accounted for when you have a market that trades the currencies themselves.
