It's pretty obvious that its company v. consumer these days. Its a war throughout the world - businesses can easily corrupt public servants in all walks of life. Is there a way to …

It seems like from this it would only take a few minutes to put this on an existing site. What sets you apart from the other instant and "easy to set up" checkouts I could use? Is …

I wrote a lot of the code for https://www.airbrite.io/ , which we are quietly launching on hackernews today. The dashboard is all backbone, the backend is all node.js. We wanted to…

It's not just booting a computer though. Hypothetically, if Silicon Valley is wiped from the planet tomorrow at the same time as a massive EMP killing all electronics on earth simu…

While I do like that everything is moving towards paperless, I hope we keep archives of all our knowledge in some permanent form. Should a world wide power failure or some other ca…

How did you pick the font? I find myself having problems figuring out is a single letter is a l or an i or a j sometimes. Seems like there's a lot of fonts out there with better re…

It might be the first thing they do, but if they don't check their email immediately you have until they print/download. That window of 5 minutes to 6-8 hours or even over the week…

I've been emailing my resume using the Google Docs url (read only) and it works well. There are rarely any issues with someone being able to open it, versus a pdf or doc. Those mig…

Oh yes. We do live in slavery. Money is the only key to our chains.

The answer is just a flat and obvious, "No". Firstly, symbols have been around for thousands of years. Our written language is built around them, and our everyday life is surrounde…

It's been down since 1999.

Aaron Swartz would be proud of you.

When they come out with new algorithms for searching, they are completely replacing their old engine, correct? Are they rewriting the core? Or is this more like v1 was PageRank, v2…

Microsoft's direction under Ballmer has been underwhelming, especially the lack of innovation in the tablet and mobile spheres. I'm curious to see if his successor is someone futur…

At the time they felt very strongly about it. The employees were adamant about the fact that they had a certain way of doing things and they were concerned that Microsoft would dis…

Yahoo -- I think they were concerned about getting infected by M$'s culture.

Except none of those places are Silicon Valley or San Francisco. There are few major hubs of startup activity, the other major one being New York City. The atmosphere and populatio…

It's a play on "seller-y".

Hahah on the Celery part. Its a play on the idea of a "seller-y" though.

Oooh, sorry, I messed this one up. To clarify, I live in a 2br with a friend and it's $4k a month for the both of us. $2k a person.

I live in San Francisco and it is probably 138% more expensive than Miami, FL. A cheapo 1br in the city runs around $1200 a month. Nice places cost $1500-2500 a month. I'm paying $…

Hehehe, and 83% of brains are only used to watch porn...

Does anyone know where I could find out how Facebook does their suggestions? It'd be interesting to compare LinkedIn's method to Facebook's.

Don't forget about Cassandra, which they developed just for scalability issues that they were having, and is now used at Digg and other sites (I think reddit uses it for something …
