Said Mr. Hard Dick.
hardik is actually a common Indian name.
Yes, and Bigus Dickus is also a common Roman name.
It being common just makes it even more funny.

Re: How I Made Porn Video Streaming More Efficient with Python and C
#62I appreciate the effort the mods take in curating titles, I really do - but please spare articles like this at least? I clicked on this link at work (part-time at grad-school) and now I have a "how to run a pornographic website faster" link logged in my name.
Oh, please. The article uses the word porn exactly three times in the introductory paragraphs. Four if you count the title. The comments here have double that, including your own use. If you were genuinely that paranoid about being "logged" for having visited a page that used the word porn (really?!) I doubt you'd be using it yourself.
I apologize if it sounded that way, but I wasn't insinuating that I'm going to get into trouble.
I'm just saying that it could get someone into trouble.
As far as the "logging" goes, it had more to do with the word porn in the title of the page, because many content-filters just parse the title for blacklisted words.

#63If you're going to change the title, at least add NSFW to it...
How is it NSFW? It is an article that is about video streaming on scale. Yes it does mention it was for a porn site, but it really does not have much to do with the article. If you work somewhere where this would be viewed as inappropriate I am not sure what can be viewed at that employer.

#64I'm astonished by some of the responses here, that could be summarised thusly:
>"I work on workplace, in a modern western society, not some theocratic backwater, that monitors my web activity and would frown if I visited an article with the word porn in it. This on 2013. I find this OK, and won't quit my job or raise hell protesting this degrading treatment, but would rather complain for HN titles".
In an age where people fight for LGBT rights, this is what the American workplace has come to?

Hey Jeremy, this is our engineering blog.
Thanks. This is the only article on the blog? I was actually intrigued by the site and was wondering if anyone on HN has used this service as a dev or a client....
Jeremy, also to note we'll be putting out many in-depth articles about a variety of engineering related topics in the comings weeks.

Are any of the porn sites larger than youtube?
I would rather learn if there was a porn site bigger than Netflix.. as Netflix currently uses around 30% of US bandwith [1] 1. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395372,00.asp
Probably. Netflix has the big constraint of availability that only extends to the US. Porn is global. Even though the US has a above-average bandwidth usage (guesstimated) it's still only a small(ish) drop in the global network.

It's not that simple when you have a family to provide for. The job you have might be the best job for many miles.
I don't agree with the decision not to protest, and I don't think HN should really care about catering to that demographic, but I understand their motive.

Since when did workplaces become bastions of principles, rather than bureaucracies that have a business to run and have to, at some level, apply policies that suspend an employee's worktime freedom as part of the agreement that involves paying that employee's salary?
I work at a small company where no one would care. They also don't care if I spend time on Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc. But not everyone is in a company like that. Big legacy companies hire from the HN crowd too. Whether or not their policies are fair is not always a simplistic argument. However, what is as sure as rain is that trivial violations of those policies can be used as leverage to punish people, when the office politics get dirty and desperate.
It's best to let the worker -- the HN reader in this case -- make the decision whether he/she wants to pick that fight, rather than have them accidentally stumble into it.

#69Is this similar to what Wowza (wowzamedia.com) does? In terms of licensing, it is $55/mo/instance or $995 for a one-time license. There are also EC2 instances that start at 15 cents per hour. Much less expensive than FMS
You also have Red5 which is open source and rocks very much. It is just a -tad- less reliable than Wowza which you can't really sell to paying customers, but it's much more fun and customizable.
And to answer your question, Wowza is just a cheaper FMS which also supports other platforms next to RTMP. This article is basically taking the more performant HTTP download mechanism for static content (like YouTube uses) and then hacking it to put a live stream in it instead.

Where exactly is the link between porn and LGBT rights?
