Was randomly recommended a video on YouTube a few weeks ago which was a recording of a tour of the WLW broadcast transmitter facility. You get to see the high power equipment in detail accompanied by lots of history about the facility. Wa

From what I remember poking around at Hansa that's not true. Each vendor / user had a public key associated with their account. All text communication through the website was supposed to be with GPG encrypted text secured by pri

The 5th covers several rights of a person accused of a crime. In this context they are referring to the amendment's protection against self incrimination: "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himsel

I come to the HN web site on slow work days or when I need a breather and generally look at front page stories or glance over the Ask HN list. I noticed what seemed like a pattern: stories with a high ratio of points to comments were often

Two Senators willing to filibuster plus the amount that backed out after yesterday's protests will make it very tough to get this bill to a vote. This is absolutely not true. 41 votes are needed to prevent closure. According to Rep Lofg

Yesterday had some impact, but these bills are still very much on track to become law. All the post mortems today aren't communicating that very well. The closure vote in the Senate on the 24th needs at least 41 no votes to prevent the bil

I think its a good idea and will give it a try next time I need to spin up a theme. Ignore the negativity in these comments. This is a great example of scratching your own itch and being generous enough to place it on Github. Who cares if

Its really great of you guys to offer this service on your own dime - thank you. Its also very shrewd marketing, and I hope it pays off for you.

Besides entertainment value doesn't all of this back and forth reduce down to the age old "use the right tool for the job in front of you"? Node.js as it currently stands isn't the best solution for applications that will involve CPU intens

Often times they are stuck using insecure browsers because some archaic piece of in house software depends on obsolete features only present in dated versions of browsers. They choose to skip updates because they don't want to spend the ca

I'm not seeing anything in the thread that verifies the title of this submission. Am I missing something? It looks to be people discussing the iOS episodes and patent trolls in general. Edit - Yup my fault, I zeroed in on the responses.

I don't know if his views on this issue completely line up with the prevailing sentiment here, but this is the second time in recent memory that Sen Wyden has acted to bail out the internet as we know it in the US. If the issue is importan

I think you'd find a site like stackoverflow to be a more helpful place to ask a question like this. Certainly there are JS experts around here, but people tend to be in a different mode when browsing HN and are more up for discussing tech

Maybe its because I was skimming, maybe its because department versus department battles in a large company feel all too natural, but I have to admit that this had me all the way until: "It's not like people are going to start using Bing."

Interesting that the Google provides several offerings for Sprint and then the fiber project picks KCK which is a stone's throw from Sprint headquarters. Could be completely unrelated, but could be hinting at further alignments.

The 30% cut of in app sales has to figure in somewhere as well. First time in a while I got a warm fuzzy for having an Android device.

While this seems to be mainly a headline grabbing talking point that is lacking any path to implementation, Rick Perry (or at least one of his speech writing advisors) seems to have some interestingly disruptive ideas about using technology

I don't know about New York, but in DC gentrification is pushing many of the urban poor to the older suburbs like Prince George's County in Maryland. As the process continues it might be that some of the first suburban areas built in the 50

I'd have more sympathy for this argument if government interference didn't play a large part in the construction of the status quo. In Canada, government regulation and taxpayer money played a significant role in building the infrastructure

I know you asked for a book, but as a fellow self taught person I remember this video being really valuable to me when trying to get my head around OOP. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2058469682761344178... It is an older video

Oh yeah - I definitely agree. I guess my thought was just that the semantic lens is focused in a different direction that I imagined. The mental model I always had was that the semantic info would let users make connections between dataset

My idea of a semantic web is when the data on the web has value added to it by being able to tie disparate pieces of data together. The thrust of what Facebook is doing seems to be tieing my identity to data on the web. That's a different
