CloudFlare doesn't block legit crawlers either. It does cache responses to crawlers so if a page hasn't changed and Google crawls it again the request doesn't burden the origin.

What's interesting about CDN in a Box is they're serving off a single IP. The problem with this strategy is Google classifies sites for crawl purposes by IP. That means if one site on CDN in a Box falters, all the other sites on CDN in a Box will suffer (e.g., Google turning down crawl velocity or completely removing them from the index). The same problem occurs if there's anything spammy or compromised by malware.

At CloudFlare, we tried the CDN in a Box strategy when we launched more that a year ago. We quickly found it had serious negative impacts on site rankings. We spent considerable time working directly with Google and the other search engine crawl teams on a solution. Today, sites on CloudFlare actually get the highest crawl velocity setting because of this work, which we've seen positively impact site rankings.

I'm curious to hear more about CDN in a Box's plans, discussions with search engine crawler teams, and technologies they've developed to overcome this challenge.
A million times this. But really, I probably wouldn't even consider it if the phones didn't have extra programs on them that ran pointlessly and/or I couldn't uninstall.

I had this exact experience about four years ago. Spent way too long dealing with their buggy code, wrote our own in a few weeks and everything was much easier from then on.
I think you should go for a Ruby on Rails / Groovy on Rails / whatever framework. My reasoning? They encapsulate a lot of the configuration files that you don't want to deal with (ugh, Spring is just annoying, with all those XML files... and I'm a Java person!). Moreover, because they're so ubiquitous, you'll find loads of plugins/code samples online for things you're looking to do. It will really cut down on your development time.
It's worth clarifying the post title. Does Riak hash keys onto the ring? Yes. Does Riak hash nodes onto the ring? No. Is that still considered "consistent hashing"? I don't know.

I suspect the intended message is that one should look for opportunity in such things rather than just seeing the bad part. The reference to "luck studies" makes me think that. I tend to be "lucky" in some ways. I also am someone who tries to view life experiences in neutral terms rather than "good" or "bad" and to look for what positives there are in a situation. I don't think those two details are unrelated. Does it suck to be laid off? Sure. Does that mean you have to surrender yourself to just feeling like a victim and loser? No. Those folks who do well in life tend to see opportunity where others only see adversity. Sharing that insight is typically intended to help others succeed, not intended to pooh-pooh their very real suffering and hardships. Unfortunately, it seems to often be interpreted negatively.

Of course, I could just be mistaking my own belly-button for someone else's motives. <shrug>

This is exactly what I've been talking about -- customers want unlocked phones, and because with Android competition is tough, sooner or later unlocked phones will be the norm. Maybe not just yet, as I don't believe HTC or Motorola until I see it, but soon.

I just bought a Galaxy because SG phones can be easily unlocked. That's a lost sale for Motorola - as my first option was a Defy (those phones are cheap and solid and I tend to mistreat my phones, so Defy seemed like a good option, until I found out that unlocking them is a bitch)

I do see that the point is that on facebook currently its not an intuitive and simple process.
If 20% of PayPal users were having a negative experience, you'd see a lot more complaints than you do. That'd be around 46 million people.

Even if only 1% of PayPal's users were dissatisfied you'd have much more activity than a couple dozen forum posts a month spread across the web and an outdated PayPalSucks site. That'd be over 2 million people with a reason to vehemently complain. The level of chatter you hear makes it much more likely that significantly less than 1% of their user base has serious problems with the service.

No, I'm not using a different product than you. I've been using the plain-jane standard PayPal payment links and subscriptions since 2000. I'm not immune to their risk department either; someone called me just this month to express concern at my account's refund rate after I cancelled some suspicious looking orders.

I'm sure my account has enough notes on it that I'm a single mis-step away from being frozen myself through no fault of my own. But that's nothing less than I'd expect from any of my payment providers. This is business, I understand why their policies are what they are, and I'm prepared for the chance that they may choose to stop doing business with me at some point in time. A little bit of basic knowledge about the financial industry they operate in and you'd run your risk department the same way.

For a good read, get a copy of the book "Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days". One of the stories is that of the founding and early growth of PayPal. The only reason they are here today, where their great many competitors during the dot-com boom aren't, is that they figured out how to manage fraud risk. They were hemmorhaging tens of millions of dollars a month to fraud losses, but they held on long enough to build the risk management systems you need to provide payment processing to the masses.
Yes, that's it..

It's neither the career move nor the concept of the e-wallet that is in dispute... refer to the Mark Papermaster hiring fiasco that involved Apple and IBM a few years ago. The complaint is about a high-level executive acting against the company's interests while being employed in that capacity by stealing company information. I'm not a lawyer but I seem to recall quite a few similar cases e.g. someone from Coca-Cola who jumped shipped to Pepsico (or was it the other way around) and got charged with violating trade secrets laws.

Edit: OK I got the details of the Coca-Cola/Pepsico case wrong. Apparently some Coca-Cola employees tried to profit from selling trade secrets to Pepsico. Article here: http://www.allbusiness.com/crime-law-enforcement-corrections...

Microsoft has said that the VB6 run-times will not be distributed with any newer version of Windows. So this means that companies which still distribute VB6 based apps have a little more time to get them ported to .NET or some other newer framework.
HTC is a Chinese company, so even if there is a corporate blog, it's not directly hitting English speaking users. HTC probably saw this as its most direct path to that audience.
Well, if it is true that the rate of "bad people" does vary greatly from country to country, it justifies xenophobia, racism and a lot of other nasty things, potentially even genocide on a utilitarian basis. I take it as a given that it doesn't vary much primarily because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate. It would imply that people are not created equal (in a human rights context) and in particular do not deserve equal treatment. It really opens up a whole can of worms.

If you're really thinking about incorporating in Delaware then you might want to check out this post, "Why incorporating my startup was my worst mistake" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2399139

It's about the experience another HN user had incorporating his startup in Delaware and also generated a nice discussion about things to think about before you decide to incorporate (and specifically in Delaware).
Sailing in his yacht and trying desperately to turn a tract of light industrial land into an annoying yet pathetically artificial high-end neighborhood.

Have to say that I am surprised that only 20% of new apis are JSON. Seems like a shoe-in to me. Although, I use python and its perfect for that.
I don't understand why I shouldn't have books that teach tools: It's transient stuff that keeping in my head isn't as useful as the concepts.
There is opportunity in being free of normal comforts that take up a lot of time and energy. It has occurred to me that having a traditional job in "tough" times of change might be like sailing on the Titanic: initially appealing but ultimately tragic because instead of being able to switch direction quickly, momentum smashes you into an obstacle and sends you scurrying for life boats.
The only reason why you don't need super in Go is because you cannot embed multiple interfaces except if their sets of methods are disjoint. This eliminates super's job of allowing programmers to differentiate between base classes with conflicting method implementations.

Without this, Go requires you to design your class hierarchy in a way that is cleaner, but the super concept is still not superfluous -- because you do sometimes need to reference an ancestor's implementation in Go.

You embed an interface and then explicitly reference the embedded interface by name. The Go interface

type ReaderWriter interface {
Reader
Writer
}

is exactly like this Python

class ReaderWriter(Reader, Writer):
pass

To get at a particular superclass implementation, you pass the class to super, like so:

def read_and_write(self):
super(Reader).read()
super(Writer).write()

which in Go is:

func (rw *ReaderWriter) ReadAndWrite() {
rw.Reader.read()
rw.Writer.write()
}

So it's not superfluous -- there's an equivalent syntax to super which involves referencing embedded interfaces.

ShopKeep.com - Point of Sale for Mac/iPad/PC
Interesting post - completely agree with it. It isn't just with individual blogs, it is with all blogs and content on the web. The number of RSS subscribers has drastically decreased in the past few years - and it has been replaced by Twitter, Facebook, HN, Techmeme et al.

Each of these sites emphasizes the now - to the extent that a 12 hour old story is old news. An entire story thread can surface and then disappear in a span of time that doesn't even last through the major global timezones (in Australia I often miss big stories because they are only up top for a matter of hours on US time)

So it isn't just the individual blogging model that needs to adapt, it is also the way aggregators and clients work. Everybody seems to be stuck focusing on what has happen in the past few hours.

A few years ago I wrote on Techcrunch about 'relevance over time'[1] and how the blogs, twitter etc. need to adapt. None of the solutions have seemed to work, and all that means is that if you are a blogger and do not have a regular audience that checks your blog regularly, you are only going to get a decent number of readers for the odd post that surfaces its way up onto one of the large aggregators

I think that the new distributed social network will become the new blogging model - where you can pub and sub and not rely on aggregators that are tailored for a mass audience to find content. I am disappointed that all the new 'facebook alternative' projects are just about replacing or complementing facebook, rather than re-thinking the entire space of personal publishing. I miss the old blogosphere and would like to see it reborn in some way.

Edit: and as an example, I to manually tweet this comment. It doesn't appear on my blog, you can't reply to it from your own blog, and within 6 hours it will be long forgotten and we will have the same conversation again in 3 months time.

> If he's going to have the same "Don't F&*% with Windows" attitude like he used to have in the past, when people came to him with such projects, then I doubt he'll do much better than Ballmer

Anybody who takes over is going to encounter resistance to change on the Windows and Office front. I think that is actually by far the strongest reason that Bill could be the best person: authority. As you say, unless he recognizes the need for it it's pointless, but assuming he does, he's by far the best person for the job.

If you're going to piss off people all up and down the company you need something special to bring the majority along with you. No outsider can come in and do that. Bill could, because he, unlike anyone else can legitimately lead from the front with genuine authority and vision.
I like Richard Hamming's quote which is something as follows: "What you do is luck, that you do something is not." (something is referring to great work in this context).
Ron Wyden is one of the few politicians who understands the Web and one of the few folks in Oregon who has understood the potential of Web startups for more than a decade. I'm always proud to send this guy back to Washington. And I'll keep doing it as long as he stands up to bills like this.
EXPIRED LINK - HACKER NEWS HATES ME
In some sense, this is an issue I have been wrestling with for two websites I own. They have been referred to as "blogs" for years when that was never the intent or the technical format of either. I have added Wordpress blogs to both sites and have wrestled with various questions like trying to give an overview (not compatible with chronological/blogging format) and how to marry these unrelated parts of the site. I finally recently came up with the next step forward for how to organize one of the sites but there is still much work to do. Glad to be reading this (both the link and the remarks here).

Most new drugs today win on marketing, rather than efficacy. Once you have a system like watson, it's rather trivial to do the expected value calculation of "This treatment has an X% chance of working, and costs Y. The competing treatment has X'%, and costs Y'."

As long as that data is available to patients (and it should be), I'm with the parent poster, this will make it harder to pad treatments.
The tool is broken. It's picking up links from the side bar instead of from the main article, since those links show up in the source first.

What I have found is that App Engine app eats up lots of CPU billing time waiting for network and disk IO. My app does fair amount of Youtube data crawling, but itself is not CPU intensive. Somehow the billing time is depriving very fast. I suspect the network IO waiting time is computed under the CPU time. Hopefully the new multi-thread & per-instance support would be fairer for IO-bound apps.
You don't really have to get the diagnosis correct, you just have to get the error bars correct, and then disclose all of that.

"Watson believes the best treatment is Foo. It has an X% chance of working, with a confidence interval of Y. The second most likely diagnosis is Bar, with an expected loss of Z if the diagnosis is incorrect. Which would you like to do?"

Besides, several specialties are already essentially classifiers (radiologists, anesthesiologists). If machines can't beat humans at classifying cancer from lung scans, they're not far behind. By the time Watson is in production, I bet a computer will be replacing radiologists already.
Now that HTC has committed to removing locked bootloaders, it's only a matter if time before all other android handset makers have to follow suit. This is a very good thing for the cellphone industry, and tech in general.

> Instead we see them trying to treat you as a captive audience and squeeze more revenue out of your eyeballs.

I'm going to blame this on B-school theory, particularly Michael Porter. What Porter did is take economic theory about the undesirable behaviour of monopolists and turn it around. "You should screw your customers and suppliers in this fashion!"

And in the short term, it absolutely works. In the long term you disgust the people who put you there -- your customers -- and most industries are not natural monopolies.
Please, launch
There are studies of what makes some people "lucky". You might google for that. (I've seen stuff like that linked here/referenced here before.) Here lately, things seem to be going a bit better for me after a long, hard, dreadful time. On the one hand, I feel kind of freaked out. On the other hand, I also recognize that this is the fruit of much labor. There is often a disconnect between when you are doing the hard parts and when you are getting the pay-off. Sometimes the connection between the two pieces is less obvious than others. When things finally come together, it can appear to be random "luck" when it was anything but. Still, there is a certain amount of random chance in life.

I guess it depends in part on how you define your terms.

Oh, I see your concern, but I was thinking of cases in which, for example, one country rather than another has much higher rates of some kind of overt behavior that societies around the world generally agree is criminal (rape comes to mind) although the causation of the different rates is something that is malleable (e.g., attitudes toward women). I probably agree with you as to starting assumption about human nature in an idealized condition before societal influences start their work on individuals, but perhaps think (having lived in more than one country) that countries just might differ in social conditions that make criminal behavior more or less likely for otherwise indistinguishable individuals. This all gets back to the issue of what the definition of "bad people" is, as I noted in my first post to which you have kindly replied.
That's definitely the problem, compiler optimizations are easily O(N^2) on the # of operations in a function, so rather than taking forever to compile they'll turn off optimization if it takes too long.

Ask yourself, do you even need a function that large? You might already be approaching the limits of the L1 cache, at which point you might as well be using separate functions since the call itself will be negligible to the cache miss.

This looks interesting. Questions:

(1) What do you mean by a processing topology -- is this a data dependency graph?

(2) How does one define a topology? Is this specified at deployment time via the jar file, or can it be configured separately and on the fly?

(3) Must records be processed in time order, or can they be sorted and aggregated on some other key?
