Thanks. I flagged yours too. I want the mods to pay attention and find a way to reduce the hostility of Hacker News. Several people I know in real life have told me that they perceive Hacker News comments as very hostile, so I know it'

Then you're saying maybe all three of us aren't so smart? No argument here :) I'm not claiming to be smart, but I'm not going to hesitate for a second to call out people who start putting others down, no matter what.

EU doesn't exactly make law. They make more of suggestions. Some of the countries do the drastic opposite of the EU "laws", even if on paper they're saying they don't. For example, many types of racial discriminatio

He's probably thinking of some similar situations in the US where certain types of clauses are automatically void. No court appearance needed, no waiting, no nothing. It's as if the clause never existed in the contract, no matter

In many parts of Europe (among the countries I've worked) the written word of contracts is worshiped as the ultimate authority. What's "the right thing to do" means nothing by comparison. You sign, you're bound by i

Am I reading this correctly? Looking at the benchmark code, Why not do a comparison versus the default Tornado setup, which is to fork one process per core? So STM Tornado is allowed to use multiple cores in this benchmark, but vanilla Torn

I really wish that there were canvas (non-svg) alternatives to flot, with many graphing features. Flot's performance for frequently updating graphs is awesome.

Some nice stuff here. My feature request: this badly needs a vertical crosshair for the multi-line charts, to see what are all the values at that point on the x-axis at once.

Reddit is a magnet for people who have an unhealthy appetite for over dramatic "justice porn." That's all I'm going to say about your feelings.

Wow, didn't expect this. The original founding team of Reddit were awesome. 1) Personally responded to feedback emails. 2) Actually cared about sensible moderation, instead of the terrible moderation practices that have taken over in r

In the long term, all stocks become worthless and the heat death of the universe occurs. If you can't state a particular time period over which a finance model's prediction should be valid, then you haven't actually made any

Very interesting. I bet that will be a big selling point for people considering this hosting service. Seems that it will be harder to put pressure on hundreds of individual residents, than it is to do so to a big centralized datacenter prov

So now what happens when law enforcement shows up to the hosting company and tells them they're raiding some servers? Will this be seen as a way to impede and slow down large scale raids?

In the US it's considered low status because it's considered to have questionable long-term value, due to potential future outsourcing. He's absolutely right. In the US, software development has always, until perhaps very rec

Working for free is completely different, because you're never in a trap where you owe the employer any repayment. I don't really see how you could claim these scenarios are the same at all. These type of debt bond contracts are t

Bonded labor, as some call it, is still quite alive in many/most countries. Sad that every single employee and manager doesn't refuse to continue the practice. I can see what's making it difficult to fight it in unison in som

"For fresh grad though, if they quit earlier than 18 months, they have to pay almost a year of their salary, which seems reasonable when there are trainings when they joined the company." No, that is not ever reasonable anywhere

Yup, pure ego. Competing to be the guy who can show off that he got away with doing the least. It's the adult version of trying to be the too cool for school guy.

Nice story. I'm so tired of hearing all the "get rich without stressing yourself - by using this one simple trick" folks. Not that I encourage going to extremes for no purpose, I just don't see these as extreme at all. J

Simple... versus the tools inside the top investment banks. I'd estimate that the publicly available tools are at least 10 to 15 years behind.

Makes me wonder why those bittorrent-for-streaming-video startups never were able to take off. By the way, it's working now. Just have to keep refreshing.
