They have been working hard on this very issue.. http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/chaos-monkey-released-in... It'll be interesting to see what failed when they put out a statement.

I lived in key west and always had random people in my backyard inspecting for standing water. Even woke up to a helicopter one morning overhead spraying for mosquitoes. I got dengue in 2010 and it suuuucked, the eye pain is incredible, you

You get 'popularly obscure' results. Which I think is a better name than million short.

Yea I kinda feel bad for them. They have all these smart looking people on the about page, but the UI is so terrible.

Linux as a gaming platform, especially for Valve is genius. There of tons of PC games that with a bit of porting (and adding controller support) can be re-released and re-sold to the console gamers. And as we all know console gamers spend a

Does anyone else think Nasa should be figuring out how to setup colonies on new worlds.. I mean the question of life on Mars (or anywhere else) is a good one, but we'll be able to figure all that out a lot easier if we're there in person. I

When I was a kid I typed out every example in a logo book and learned nothing. It doesn't matter if you type it out or not, either way, learning means going line by line and understanding the code.

Man I'm so glad to be around right now.. I remember catalogs from the 80s.. what we have now is so incredible compared to then. Feels good man.

Your right, and I think where this will end up is with 'super aware' pilots. Where the plane does just about everything automatically, but there's a human inside that basically 'thinks' and the vehicle does. Our brains are already better at

I just tried the iPad mini the other night and was impressed by the office suite included with it. To people who have used it, how does it compare to MS Office?

Before even clicking the link, I thought to myself, 'What would I pay for a Windows 8 tablet?' Not more than $500 I thought. When I saw they priced it at $900 I laughed. Microsoft is a non-stop train wreck of misery at the moment. It's like

I agree, I'm more interested in this innovative design than the debate itself. It gets me thinking as well, like what if people for and against the issue could vote up comments independently. So you get the the agreed talking points on both

I'm not familiar with big orgs. What does active directory facilitate mostly? Like seeing a list of other computers in the company and accessing their drives?

I'm not arguing against implementing an RPC if that's what you need. My original post describes a super set of JSON-RPC.

Like any other programming language if you need to update multiple fields, you pass multiple parameters to the function. The URL should be equivalent to namespace/class/method while the parameters are just that - parameters you can pass in

Just because something is GET doesn't mean it can be cached. It's not consistent, and every API call needs to be evaluated individually. The thing with REST is that it treats all functions as a variant of a CRUD operation, while functions m

I'm not saying how the parameters or return values should be formatted other than the fact they're in JSON format. JSON-RPC requires you to conform to their specifications.

I don't like REST. Making a call to a server should be like calling a function anywhere else - you have your parameters and return value. In REST the parameters are spread over 3 places, the action, the url and the post parameters themselve

What is it about Japanese companies and their inability to create good online services. 3ds, ps3, psp, wiiU, etc.. so much potential.. xbox live is already a good example of how it's done. A simple copy of that would be 1000x better than wh

Windows 8 must be the slowest train wreck in computing history, it's been being reviewed as crap for over a year now and they keep chugging along. It's funny to read all the comments from over a year ago and how nothing has changed since th

My dream is a smooth FPS like street view. Right now it's so disjointed and lagged. Street view could be so much more. I know microsoft had some technology to put photos from different angles together..

Really? How do you know, 'it hasn't stopped them.' How do you count the number of people who never got addicted to meth because it wasn't on sale at 7-11, or was never made the secret ingredient in McDonald's new meth burger. Do you know th

This is ridiculous. The guy is perfectly capable of getting a job and raising money to fund his side projects.

I agree. On top of this we need a 'mark as spam' button next to the hang up button in Android.

My Oculus Rift 3 is going to have a 4k resolution, so I hope my TV content does as well.
