I think the key here is that this is a trojan installed by the user. Education is the greatest weapon against this type of attack -- not trying to keep up with users reinfecting themselves with each variant.
Yeah this sounded crazy to me too, except in my house I do have a ceiling fan with a bulb in it 20 ft up that is a pain in the butt to change.

Root domain support for elastic load balancers is huge. I've been having to redirect from a separate host totally defeating the purpose of the elastic load balancer in the first place. Now all they need is a damn gui for route 53 dns. The "official" xml config file fed into perl script is a huge bummer.

Then there are schools like Little Rock Central (which I use as an example merely because I'm familiar with it). They routinely pump out national merits and presidential scholars. The quality of the education, if you choose to engage in it, is through the roof.

Of course the bulk of their students choose the wrong route. I do wonder if there is a model tucked away in that school, however. They seem to do a really good job of helping their brightest students succeed. I'm not really familiar with what they do, but I'd be interested to know more for sure.

I suppose that at the very least this new design solves the "looks too much like Apollo" problem of the old Orion.

Other weirdness: given that it's supposedly designed for "deep space", why does the design spec only call for it to support astronauts for "up to 21 days"? Heck, even Gemini 7 lasted nearly 14 days, and that was with two people in a capsule smaller than a fat guy's pants.

Also, do we have a rocket to launch this thing yet? Wasn't Ares cancelled? What do we stick it on?
Clever. Does this count as CSS being turing complete yet?

I do think that's what the author meant. I see the point, but on the other hand, it seems extremely hard to measure and account for. Unless the difference is abysmal, I don't think it would be right to discriminate based on socioeconomic background either.
Scaling is not trivial in many cases. Friendster happened before a lot of infrastructure we take for granted now was released into the world.

There's a big difference between that and congratulating people for something bleedingly obvious. Do you really expect them to start manufacturing these cards and rolling out their entire system which deals with people's money without testing the [bleep] out of it?

Serious wow at Lebanon war photo fraud. That is just appalling.
Well, you could argue that some "IQ segregation" already happens, by virtue of having highly selective private schools, advanced placement, etc.

I think the students (or parents when they're too young) should have choice though, and be able to choose how challenging they want their education to be. With high-priced private schools, this is not really the case though.
jwz is pretty well respected, especially in this field. He was one of the original authors of Netscape Navigator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski
Even for lisp, you would have to define an extended syntax for it and modify the parser to additionally read and store whitespaces, comments and newlines. This way you will be able to serialize your source to plaintext without loosing the original format.
Non text sourcecode also allows for way smarter tooling, tree diffs on the AST, graphical repls and improved rendering of sourcecode.
Generally I've found domain experts to have a healthy respect for other professions, including developers. I'm not talking about the caricature Craigslist mouth-breather with the awesome let's-clone-Facebook-for-$200 idea.

Sure, the real estate seller may not know about apps, but they do know what works and what doesn't work in the real estate market, what the potential legal issues may be, and where the pain points are. I've never worked in real estate, so I don't.

I suspect that's why so many pure-developer run startups are either things that only interest other developers (project management tools and the like) or things that "everybody" knows about, e.g. yet another Twitter client or social networking thingamajig. There's a ton of cash in vertical markets we don't touch because we don't know the right people in those industries to partner with.

The successful businesses I've worked in(startups that went on to achieve success, or already successful small to medium sized businesses) have all been in vertical markets - from forestry to tourism to retail marketing. You couldn't have built these on developer savvy alone. That may go against the HN philosophy that software developers are the be all and end all of startups, but the reality is that most successful businesses need teams of people of different backgrounds.
I would make a bet this is almost certainly not the case as any company that knows they should be encrypting passwords also knows they shouldn't be giving them out plaintext to customer support agents.
The thing that excites us the most is the flexible schema because that can cut down on development time dramatically. The REST API is also optimized for developer happiness.

We're working on some examples and should have them ready soon.

Benchmarking is a good idea but tricky because speed depends on the complexity of the data and the query itself. If you have any recommendations for benchmarks please let me know.

I used an MV/8000 ("Eagle") when I was writing video game cartridges for Atari. I never really programmed it -- maybe a little scripting in their shell -- but just used it for cross-development to some home computers. The system rarely crashed.

I was used to 4.2 bsd, but the DG was still a nice system. It got bogged down during the day with 40-50 users running an awful little email and office automation app, but it was fine at night (just like the mainframe at my university).

The shell struck me as a cross between VAX/VMS and Unix. The file system was pretty decent. The screen editor that DG provided worked well, and though I missed Emacs, it was adequate for writing largish programs. (There was a DG equivalent of TECO that I tried to learn, but it was about as opaque and terse ("badly designed") as the original TECO and I just gave it up after a while).

All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked.
Sounds cool, but how will you make money?
Things I should argue or watch out for?

Nowhere in anything you just said did you mention anything about talking to customers. I presume that's what the 3 co-founders will be doing, while the 3 engineers are building this "v1," but that a point I'd want clarified if I were in your shoes. If they aren't committed to getting out and getting in front of the customers (of if they haven't already done so, which seems to be the case) I'd be very worried.

Tools to prevent data loss
Data loss refers to unexpected loss of data or information and therefore backup and recovery of data must be developed to restore the lost data.

Here are some of the best tools to prevent data loss :
Agree. The HN audience is ill-informed about things like stock market economics (see LinkedIn threads) and more surprisingly, intermediate technical issues.
Bourdieu would say (in his ridiculously convoluted french way) that modern capitalism maintains a class system via inculturation at the family/ childhood level, where a lifetime of test scores and social skills is grooved into a person and determines the rest of his life chances.

This allows us to pretend that the current class system is due purely to fair competition between adults by not looking into the family and the school system, while at the same time ensuring a steady stream of disadvantaged to work in the factories and kill themselves buying junk food, beer, and cigarettes. And the few that climb out are considered the evidence that "anybody" could do it, "if they really tried" -- hogwash!

It's a little bit more fair -- and a lot more complicated and subtle -- than when William the Conqueror came over, pointed a sword at the local Anglo-Saxons, and said basically "You will be a peasant or I will kill you and your family. That's fair, don't you think?" Of course the Anglo-Saxons did this to the Celts and the left-over Romans, etc, etc, etc.

So, no, its not a fair world. Marx was super naive about socialism, but he was a great historian, and he said "History is the history of class struggle". Not quite that simple (Marx, like us all, loved his simple answers), but one should look for the class struggle angle in every situation.

ARM's problem is that every board has a slightly different variant...different instruction sets present or absent, different boot code, and the like.

Besides, in what sense is the "merit" conferred by having good genes better than the "merit" conferred by having rich parents?

Via blind luck, person A happens to be born slightly smarter than person B, but with poorer parents. Person B is genetically disadvantaged relative to person A, but has a few more learning opportunities in childhood. By the time they both reach the age of eighteen, they're performing identically on the SAT (which is supposed to be a test of general intelligence). Why should we say that A's unfair genetic advantage is more meritorious than B's unfair financial advantage?

They are highly committed to getting out and getting in front of customers. They love doing so. And yes, that's their job (they're hustling about town as we speak raising money). Like I said, they've already put on many unofficial events with future customers to rave reviews and demands for a full fledged product developed around it.

As the engineers, we'll be primarily engaged on the backend but all of us will be part of the experience (so I'll be at events, them too). :)

You've probably read some panic-inducing articles about the fact that the Internet is running out of IP addresses! [...] We're providing this new support in order to allow you to test your systems on World IPv6 day (June 8, 2011).

While any support for IPv6 is nice, I really wish that Amazon could have left out the sarcasm. Developers have been working for years on what they had the foresight to see as a very serious problem. (Itojun painfully comes to mind.) I find it demeaning to start out the announcement by attacking a straw-man.

I think this is a great first step for AWS on the road to v6 support, but the attitude plus implying that this is useful to "test" systems on World IPv6 day -- as if it's just a trophy game -- is not confidence inspiring.

Merit isn't necessarily free of any "luck" component. I would say that a smarter person "merits" admission over a less smart person, even though the smarter person didn't really earn the intelligence in any way because he/she was born with it.

If you want to get into a debate on whether intelligence gives a person merit, you might as well ask whether being hard-working gives a person merit too, since being hard-working probably also has a genetic component. If you're a determinist, you could even extend this further by saying that everyone has the exact same merit, in that nobody had any control over anything they did, good or bad.

massive?

The smallest (by volume) of the great lakes, erie, is over 480 km^3. Lake Michigan, the one near Chicago, is over 4,900 km^3.

That amount of thermal mass isn't going to be significantly affected by hundreds of data centers.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Really like the idea - have been waiting for an application that will allow teachers to become masters of their own digital pedagogical content. However, I'm not a huge fan of the attack on classrooms - perhaps it's a personal opinion, but 'needing improvement' doesn't necessarily mean 'broken', and the statement makes me question the efficacy of a service purporting to be a panacea for all the flaws in a traditional classroom.
The SAT can be tutored (and is). Lower income students can't afford this tutoring, so on average and on a purely economic basis you would expect that higher income kids achieve higher scores than lower income ones.

The thing with Zynga, is they have zero innovation

From a technical perspective, that's true. The innovation is the application of psychology to extract money from their customers via software Skinner boxes. Arguably evil, definitely profitable.
At the $80k level the money seems ok, not great, not bad. A 1y runway means your job is secure.

Ask are they worth investing in? (You are investing 10k per yr per step above as you come down that ladder to get more equity). This depends if they will succeed or not. A good way to judge their capability of succeeding is to look at who the investors are (750k). If they have a history of investing in similar companies that have been successful then know what they are doing, therefore it is likely these guys will succeed and you should go for a higher share in the company.

Also, for about $10k/yr you are buying $17.5k worth of the company at the current valuation going from $80k/y to $70k/y.

I say, if you believe in the idea and the team, plus the investors are solid, and you're not dying for cash, it might be worth going for a higher stake. Another thing, if I were you, I'd negotiate the equity too (pay me $70k but give me stake like $60k).

If you don't believe in them or are suspicious, then just take the $80k and go for a 1 yr startup ride.
