Wasn’t he supposed to be developing AGI?

I wouldn't assume it went as planned. Seemed plausible they tried to lend him $362m to exercise his options, and then chickened out amid bad press.

StackBlitz is Monaco in the browser. No extensions or terminal. Works great for certain kinds of front-end dev, but more complicated build tooling aren't available and only JS/TS a…

Aardvark, the question and answer service that was later bought by Google, initially routed and answered all user questions from their internal team.

_why would never write an article called 'setting up my own software programming company' or use the phrase 'Maybe it would’ve been easier and safer to just stick out the 9-5 and w…

Wouldn't the sheer number of coins involved make tumbling services almost useless. What is the volume that a single tumbler gets per day? If you put in tens of thousands of coins, …

According to Sequoia's post, they are adding 1mm users/day. http://sequoiacapital.tumblr.com/post/77211282835/four-numbe...

The denials over Prism never squared with the size and capability of the system that were outlined in the documents, unless I'm missing something here. Is it not possible that the …

I am a big fan of Put.io. This seems like a contender to replace it, although there is a long way to go. One of the wonderful things about Put.io is that it is so versatile. I use …

Are you crawling these sites yourself, or using the Bing API to get the index?

Nope, this is all coming together in the next two weeks. Those Reallocators are madmen, and know how to get things done.

It'd be nice to have an audit trail of admin actions on HN somewhere.

Can we just take a moment and note that Kim Dotcom had two Mercedes ML63 AMGs seized in the raid. One had the license plate 'Guilty' and the other 'Mafia'. He knew what business he…

One other fact that backs up the author's point is that while Apple has a low percentage of the computer market as a whole, they have >90% marketshare for PCs over $1000. That give…

We've been testing a new startup with a hacked together Tumblr, to simulate the app we're building. Because of this we've been monitoring our Tumblr traffic & interactions closer t…

I'm guessing w/in a few months Google launches a G+ integration with search that lets you reference your contacts in search queries using the + operator.

Sad story? I think you miss the point. He was never in it for the money. The toys, houses, and cars were a distraction. Read his quotes in the article. The sad part is that he wast…

We have tried just about everything at our shop, Thirdi. Fixed rate quotes are dangerous because they make all the pricing decisions at the point where you know the least about the…

I'm also reminded of Daniel Dennett's secret to happiness: find something bigger than yourself and devote your life to it. That too allows you to drop your baggage and become 'noth…

Ummm. http://www.theie6countdown.com/

Doesn't this system still lead to a large trail of emails going back to Pakistan (assuming the courier didn't go all the way into Afghanistan to send each email). Presumably, some …

Thirdi is hiring in Vancouver, BC. Looking for excellent problem solvers, with experience building production web applications. We typically work with the Symfony or Yii PHP framew…
