Hey, I'm the phoenix-spark author here. You're totally right, right now there is a lot of dumb shuffling around for certain operations. Hopefully some of that will get fixed up in …

I think the unstated assumption is that there's some sort of processing that occurs on each review every day. So with 100 million reviews every 24 hours, that's just over 1157 requ…

That Curve25519 implementation is by Moxie Marlinspike, and that RipeMD160 algorithm is built into BouncyCastle. There may still be attack vectors on them, but that's about as clos…

Neat project. Any particular reason you chose to roll your crypto rather than build on top of existing implementations? https://github.com/WhisperSystems/curve25519-java http://ros…

You can even go one better and use the Spark integration directly: https://phoenix.apache.org/phoenix_spark.html

I actually just got a prototype working that loads up HBase data through Phoenix into Spark for analytics. So far the results look very promising. Across millions of rows, we're ge…

I really like the mention of Lockitron, the whole 'keyless entry' idea really is going to be the future of AirBnB rentals. I have several customers who are AirBnB hosts who use my …

If you plan on targeting mid-size companies and up to enterprise, you're going to need to have some sort of AD/LDAP integration. The onboarding/offboarding process is generally ini…

Congratulations on the launch, I hope everything goes well. A list of carriers I think would be useful, or a way to verify that the phone will work in your area (e.g. zip code or p…

Works great for me, using Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15R (Radeon 7700M) with the latest fglrx drivers.

Have you thought of throwing up an email-collection landing page, and putting a few bucks into Adwords to gauge demand? If there's nothing else in this space, you may be on to some…

I'll agree that lacking models or in-game content, it's pretty unlikely they've made any headway at all into this thing, but isn't that the point of the Kickstarter? Take a look at…

Font-Awesome also has a really nice 'Animated Spinner' icon as well on that example page, which works nicely with Bootstrap buttons.

Ha, I love how /about is also represented as JSON. Also, good call adding the 'Pro' field. Are you getting any traction there?

I have no idea whether your business case is sound or not - it looks cool, so best of luck. Your call to action button is hidden in the bottom right, well below the fold. I'd recom…

I suppose I fall into the category of a 21st century student, although I finished my CS degree in the early 'noughts. I think the thesis of the article is generally accurate, that …

Also, I'm getting a consistent crash when I go to my customers list and click directly on the 'Last' payment. 'Next' payment works fine. iOS 6.1.4, iPhone 5.

Great work, just bought a copy as well. I was looking for something like this recently, saw it wasn't there, and was considering going ahead and building it. I'm only a little disa…

Some of the EIPs suffer from the same 'head-in-the-sky' issues as the GoF design patterns, but there's a few that have come in handy (like the idempotent receiver!). The link to Ap…

Awesome idea. I know they don't get too much love on HN, but it would be cool to see this done for a set of enterprise integration patterns. See: http://www.eaipatterns.com/toc.htm…

The Play framework works quite well in Java as well. Although some knowledge of Scala is useful for the template engine, as well as some spots where the Java API abstraction leaks …

This is awesome! I'm actually a little jealous. If you can get your hands on (or build yourself) a red box [1], you could even hack your own hack. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

The term you're looking for is 'ring-back', and it's original use seems to have gone the way of the do-do in North America. Most of the PBX/VoIP systems I've worked on (North and S…

This paragraph in particular irks me: "When I first put up a few job postings for a senior developer position, the salary expectations for almost every applicant was $75,000 and up…
