How does this deal with proxy loops? As an example, I would assume worker is making requests with the internal view of the site, but can not have an internal view of other sites or…

The people who buy stolen goods also get more value then they spend, so all thieves are inherently good? Some companies produce more good than bad. Some companies produce more bad …

I've realized that I'm actually looking for something like HN, but with a little more of a community of opensource hackers and a bit less of the entrepreneurs. Is there anything li…

This is the kind of attitude that disturbs me about recent journalism and what appears to be the dominant opinion in the US. Getting quantitative results is entirely useless if you…

So I can create antisocial companies that hurt more than they help and take/distribute profits until damning evidence is assembled using public resources, then pay back a small por…

Every technology has negatives that companies try to turn into externalities. The ones that hurt their non-customers are the most egregious and should be subject to the highest cor…

If I make a device that lets half of society sit on its ass for 100 years then murders everyone, I think the costs should be factored in by sueing me before everyone is dead. But m…

Then other holdings of Bain sold "Toys R Us" goods and services and were perhaps sold after a good quarter?

I see your point. I'm just trying to point out that failures of general tech to emerge are quite different than failures of use cases. You need more of a limit preventing the emerg…

Flying cars not existing has everything to do with the resources they use (public federally controlled airspace which requires every driver to be a pilot.) Quantum computers have t…

A community that hasn't established a semaphore for updating the code isn't a community. It is hard to build that with consensus instead of input from its creator. The nature of wh…

It's really about blasting advertising and hiring good enough cheap. The engineers with a network will know not to go through your process and would expect a salary appropriate to …

File stream is a Kernel module reimplementing NFS or Samba? Or they are killing standard FS access achieved via Rsync and are trying to position a webapp bundled in chrome its plac…

Interesting article, but I don't really agree with their conclusions. I think social networks are legacy from first engaging people on the real web and have a fate similar to AOL. …

Ellison bought sun then disparaged cloud and killed Sun's cloud ventures only to watch Microsoft recover on selling cloud to a market that no longer wants proprietary desktops.. I …

Fujitsu was interested, US threatened to block any foreign sale. IBM was interested, a loud mouth blocked negotiations and pushed his golf buddy instead.. Sun made some strange mov…

The politics and social Dynamics in the US seem completely wrong for growth that I would consider positive in most regions. There is instead a lot of low density strip mall style g…

Could you bribe someone to avoid imprisonment for trial in US courts for health or safety reasons? I don't think the DOJ will necessarily honor that unless you have some kind of he…

Exactly, and the defense claimed they handled the goods and put them back with the video being cut to simply imply they never were put back.. If you can claim duress in this case, …

Yes, what could possibly go wrong if an official doesn't respect the fact that you can't bribe them, pay their "official" fee, or hire a consultant from a very short list of "appro…

Network virtualization was barely integrated before Indiana got cut off.. Only Oracle has the infrastructure and customers necessary to find and fix the less obvious bugs there.. B…

It is a certainty that some traffic is fake.. In this case it is doubleclick on websites and (from the commission numbers) probably over other ad networks, so Google has one connec…

> It's not beyond the realms of imagination that this fake traffic could be an attempt re-bolster their main revenue stream It basically is beyond imagination unless you think they…

Yes, I think RadioShack is probably the most famous example for sceptics. The US legal system really is that bad.
