Ask HN: Should I use my .co domain or my *app.com domain?
Hey HN

I have a SaaS web application on highscoreapp.com which I'm working on - That's fine but after .co domains became available I decided to go after highscore.co.

Which do you guys think is the better one to use? .co is shorter and more precise but .com domains are usually easier to remember.

What are your thoughts?
U.S. military adopts more open source: is that secure enough for you?
Facebook announced plans earlier this year to build a custom data center in Prineville, Oregon, and Twitter announced last week that it plans to build one near Salt Lake City, Utah

I was referring to breaking ground on your own datacenter, including managing the HVAC, security, power, backbone connections, insurance, and personnel. When you get to the point where that is more cost-effective than the cloud or a few racks in a colo, in my opinion, you're past the startup phase.

What you mention could easily fit somewhere on my timeline, perhaps those couple of years when they see that they are steady at 20 EC2 instances and renting a cage at a colo edges out Amazon on price, if not on scalability.
Is Romania a good place to start a business now?
Although there the crisis is felt many times stronger than in the rest of Europe I know that things are still moving fast over there. Although I do not have a big sum of money to invest I heard it is a lot easier to start something than in like say The Netherlands.
I know there are many holes in the road, but which ones should I expect in daily life there ?
ThanX in Advance.
It's hardware. They have have 52 servers, each with 16 disks which I assume are capable of I/O at 100MB/s. That's an aggregate disk I/O rate of 83.2 GB/s. Their network switch provides 10Gbps connectivity between each pair, which implies they can move data between nodes at 65 GB/s. With that hardware setup they can read 1TB from disk and distribute in around 15 seconds. They can write sorted data back to disk in 12 seconds. That leaves a little over 30 seconds for each node to sort 19.2 GB in memory. But each node has 8 cores, so each core has to sort 2.4 GB in 30 seconds. I've seen Burstsort chew through that amount of data in half the time.
The earths crust deforms ~1cm each day due to tidal forces. So while it might take a long time to move the last inch or so, the first few miles would change within hours. In fact with an instantaneous stop it would go past a perfect sphere and probably osculate.

Wow didn't know this..
You mention disruption in an overpriced wedding industry, and then you mention disruption in the printing industry. Honestly, knowing the printing industry here in Montreal, and knowing the prices they charge for good quality invitations (+ thank you letters, and the RSVP letters and envelops, all matching and embossed of course), anyone doing this at home will spend more money on the material, software, and ink, not to mention time in putting it all together, even if you gave your software away for free.

Good luck. But understand that the printing industry (again, at least here in Montreal), isn't the wedding industry. And the printing industry is about as cutthroat and cost-competitive as they come.
Actually, I just realized this does not work, there is an off by 1 error here. jacksoncarter's piece of code works though.
Sidebar experience similar to Dolphin HD for Android?
You can use it as a local MDA/"mail filter" as well. Mailman accepts messages via Standard Input.

I don't recommend this, because you have to load and unload Ruby every time a message comes in. While this may be okay if you only have a few messages coming in, it will quickly become unbearable if you have any sort of volume. This will be even worse if you loading the Rails environment, as it can take several seconds or several tens of seconds, depending on the app size.

Side Note: There are at least three different projects using the name maildrop, and dealing with email, and I figured out which one you were talking about through context very easily.
I am also getting this. Have been using gmail since 2005 without any spam getting to my inbox, but now I get about 2 per day.

New York Health Insurance for small businesses

My understanding is that the beta only supports acceleration under Windows via Direct2D and DirectWrite, which is only supported on > Vista. This is similar to the current IE9 previews. I'm not sure when they expect to add similar functionality to other platforms. The demos I tried under Linux were usable, but admittedly they lagged a bit.

I can't agree more. I had much the same story, minus the "success", and much of the same mental symptoms. Starting medication for ADD was like putting glasses on my ability to get things done.

It's not a silver bullet, but a lot of my other issues melted away once I treated my ADD, and I'm now actually starting to accomplish things I want to accomplish.
This may/may not apply to you. I've wrestled with a (not medically proven) condition called candida. Basically too much such/alcohol/yeast causes a yeast build up in my GI tract. This causes major issues like:

- fatigue (I was falling asleep at my desk at 10:30am after 11 hours of sleep)
- "Brain fog" (Best definition I've heard, it's the lack of the ability to focus after about 10 minutes etc)
- Depression (This came on when I would have too much sugar. It would really mess with my head)

Anyways, after some anti-fungals and cutting out most sugars from my diet, I'm 80% better now. I can put in a full day's work and can hang out at night without feeling repercussions the next day.

I also found out I was celiac. Go figure.
Thanks David. I should probably survey a runners forum next.

Sorting 1014 GB in 1 minute
I also fail to catch the "meta" dimension of it... Sounds like a buzzword...
Being able to solve programming puzzles does not mean someone is going to be a good coder, but it will probably help weed out people that don't have the analytical skill that a company needs -- assuming the company needs coders with strong analytical skills.

Working for a company that has a need for people with strong analytical skills would be more fun than working for one that doesn't. Software that doesn't require thinking is a bit boring, even if there are parts like that in all software.

Personally, my respect for the company would increase if I solved a fairly difficult programming problem, and they interviewed heavily on working with other people's code, and making your code able to be worked on by other people (this is a kinda hefty topic...). I'd be pretty assured that I would be working in an intellectually stimulating environment with competent peers -- and that would be awesome.

I'm not aware of many other companies that put out "solve a problem" types of hiring screenings, other than google.

For an app I think using highscoreapp.com is fine, but for a true "brand" it might make more sense to use .co.

.com domains are usually easier to remember - with Google (or your fav search engine) you pretty much don't have to remember anything.

Science Turns Authoritarian
Yeah, I certainly can't say I know much of anything about running. I do know cycling though, and I don't really get the appeal of saying "hey, I'm going to go do a really long ride". I think I'd either just do it, or not. Organized rides or races are more fun though: you have company and infrastructure which makes it different from simple going out and riding some huge distance.
I believe that vitamin D is best taken with and is absorbed in and later stored in fat (and the liver).

Excessive amounts of animal fat are bad since it is a saturated fat, but some is beneficial. I suspect that range fed beef has more vitamin D since animals in the open get more sun and would store vitamin D in a smaller amount of fat built up over more time.

Obese corn fed feed lot cattle are less healthy for other reasons also. The corn diet is very unnatural for them. It leads to rapid fat buildup with some meats containing over four times the fat of range fed animals. The diet causes the digestive system to become more acidic making the animals prone to various infections including E-coli a very dangerous bacteria. The E-coli mutates in the overly acidic animals becoming a form which humans often can't fight off without antibiotics if it wasn't already killed in cooking. The E-coli in range fed animals is not so troublesome. Bacterial that does survive in the animals loaded with antibiotics is also apt to be more resistant to treatment.

Because of the the danger of E-coli, ground beef must be cooked well done all the way through. Slaughter exposes meat from other parts of the animal to the bacteria and if gets mixed all the way through when ground. Other beef should be eaten fresh and washed well before cooking, and utensils and cutting boards used with the raw meat should be kept separate from those used for vegetables and other foods. Besides tasting better, non-ground beef is more nutritious if the color isn't cooked out. Meat that's still juicy contains a fair amount of iron in the blood.

PBS in the US has been running a documentary about corn production in Iowa. The subsidized inedible corn (tastes like cardboard, engineered for high yield per acre) is used mainly as cattle feed and to produce high fructose corn syrup, a non-nutritious addictive destructive AND CHEAP sweetener that's found its way into many of our foods. It's hurting us not only when consumed directly, but by degrading the beef produced as explained above. People consume more saturated fat in the beef. The excess fat and sugar has caused a major increase in diabetes in the last 20 years.

Although supplements help with vitamin D problems, we really should be looking closely at what we eat and how it is produced. END CORN SUBSIDIES!!! contact your representatives. The corn isn't profitable without subsidies, farmers (big business now) would switch to nutritious crops if not paid to do the wrong thing.

U.S. broadcasting has become dangerously consolidated in the hands of a small number of corporations and even more insidious venture capital groups. Pressure the F.C.C. and your representative for change, and watch and support your P.B.S. (non profit community tv) stations.

For all of us to be healthier we should step back and see what's going on, be educated, produce healthy foods, eat properly, and live a healthier lifestyle. Some would say that's all too costly, but disease treatment costs even more and there is no price tag on suffering.

I have Tourette's, which is often comorbid with OCD. I guess the closest thing I have to an obsession is an irrational sense of dread when I leave the house wondering if I locked the front door. Really deep all-consuming dread. I've been told this is a classic bit of OCD. Also, if I'm in the right mindset and I brush my hand against something I'll need to go back and brush against it the other way to "even things up".

Random Runners would add a social and competitive element to the runs too. You could announce "hey, if anyone wants to run 26.2 today, I'll be at the Java Cafe on Fifth st. and Main at 3pm." Random Runners could report on the outcome of the race and even have a leader board.
I've used this sleep schedule before. It's extremely liberating, if only a little lonely at the beginning of each week.

It's not hard to switch back and forth as long as you use one of the bedtimes that's normal for both schedules and just wake up with an alarm when you're supposed to on the new one.

The best thing about it was that I was actually tired (on the 20/8 variation) when it was time to go to bed, and I usually woke up a few minutes before my alarm starting on about the third day. These two phenomena never happen with any variation on a 24 hour day that I've tried. I was more productive (got my normal work done; started cycling regularly again; wrote more; and was averaging 2-3 books per week) and happier. I can't think of anything bad to say about it except that the last few hours of each "day" are a bit sluggish. I'm convinced that helped me sleep.

The only reason that I went off it was because my girlfriend has a fairly restrictive (yet changing) schedule. I was looking at not seeing her at all for a week if I continued it.

I should say that if I just go to bed when I'm tired, my body defaults to something pretty close to a 28-hour day regardless of light levels and the other people I've known to try it had negative experiences.

How Microsoft (MSN+Bing) is spaming Google
Don't listen to the naysayers, this is a great idea and it is an industry primed for disruption. It's a total effing scam. But I agree with others. The DIY version is only one angle... we paid for ours (through the nostrils), but if there were a 4x6 or moo type option? Absolutely.

As far as referrals go: they matter. You won't get much repeat business so acquisition will be a concern (even with an growing divorce rate!). But people get a ton of advice from their friends when the go through the process. The same DJ that played at a friends wedding, played at ours, and now seems to show up at every wedding we go to. People ask my wife about our venue, go there and then call to find out which florists we down-selected to, etc. Point being word of mouth is probably a disproportionately large source of demand. I think that can help mitigate a low customer lifetime value.

I was under the impression (could be remembering something wrong, however) that sorting algorithms had a provable (or at least strongly believed) best-case of O(nlogn), and that we already have algorithms that meet that.

If that is correct, most improvements would probably come from hardware and software use-case tuning.

No, you aren't feeling things, the sun in the Northern Hemisphere (at least Europe) is less intense, even at lower latitudes like Italy.

I only got sunburnt once in Europe, and that was after being the sun all day with no sunscreen or hat. It took literally hours to get sunburnt. Here, I think 30 minutes is about all the average Australian can take, and for a recent arrival from Europe, 15 minutes will do them in, and 2 or 3 hours will put them in hospital.

My personal theory is that there is a lot more airborne pollution in Europe, and because of all the air traffic a lot of high-level cloud gets laid down by planes. You'll note the sky is never as deep blue as it is in Australia. I also think that because of the tilt in the Earth's axis, the SH summers receive a more directly overhead sun than even on the summer solstice in most of Europe. Finally my theory rounds out that, in Europe, periods of hot sunny weather seem to coincide with long periods of stable weather with little wind, when the pollution quicklyk builds. In Australia, in summer (in much of the country) the really hot days come during the thunderstorm period, when the high wind and heavy rain blows all the pollution away, and the next day is scorchingly hot.

Of course, all just random theories but based on a lot of observation.
