I do think that the degree of coordination needed is reduced with increased frequency of deployment. Mentally, I imagine an airport and there's a number of planes that need to be landed in a week. What requires more coordination: an ai

can anyone help me understand why the chain of signed/hashed values is important? Is it all about tampering?

I think the author is making the point that the simple act of buying the bonds is accomplishing their goal. They don't care what the return is, they just want to offload dollars. If you don't care about the return, then something

Meh. Safari's only utility on OS X is to install Chrome. IE fills that role on the Windows systems.

Even as an American, border patrol officers scare the crap out of me. I'm totally worried about stumbling on some dumb question and getting detained. I'll never forget my return from Mexico on the day before 9/11 where I was greeted by a bo

I don't understand why the methodology is flawed: the objective isn't to price N servers. The objective is to serve all the load at the best price. If you need 131 during peak and 20 during off-peak and can not pay for the delta- yay! My co

His claims barely put him in the upper quartile. Being debt free is not a 1% thing....sorry pal. In 2005, making 250k a year doesn't even put you in the top 1% of household incomes in the US.

It's very interesting to think about cases where digital darlings have "killed jobs." Before: Thousands of jobs all over the country working for the classified section of a newspaper. Marginally profitable business. After: Craigslist destro

Yeah, I like the premise of the article and feel that technological innovation does kill jobs (and it's not a bad thing). That being said, I feel like I got a big build up to a solution and it's like "share and make things and distribute on

FWIW, this was an intense project to pull off. 1000's of tweets per minute from Twitter, 8000 requests per second on http://askobama.twitter.com (where the same tweet was also delivered by us and rendered correctly). We're not lazy or slo

I think the actual mortality rate is closer to 2%. I don't know if that changes your opinion at all. Frankly, I feel that even at 2% mortality, it's a pretty selfish act if anybody else depends on you.

As entrepreneurs, our big "risky" returns come from investing in our businesses. In order to counterbalance that, my opinion is to be very conservative with your cash. Keep it liquid and safe- earning 4% safely seems fine to me these days.

Am I the only one detecting a "frowning on education" theme on hacker news lately? I don't necessarily disagree, but it seems like there has been an article a day about "should i go to college", "the diminishing value of a degree", etc. Is
