I cant think of an example, but I'd guess this'd work out as a good cost-effective solution for people who need to do "big data" map-reduce type jobs, but with less utilisation than 1 week/month. Or, if you can solve the "getting the data in" problem (perhaps you've already got all your data stored on S3), you could use one of these for an hour or two at a time, perhaps running end of week or end of day batch processing, at a somewhat lower cost that having a similar sort of pay-by-the-month colo server.
Let's say you want to create an ultimate network.
Ask for $10K per month from each member and throw a party each month which will be host by Alicia Keys, Adele and many more top notch singers in the world. There will be 100 or so members. Aren't you going to be attracted in that 100 ? Not 10 gazillion. Only 100.

Sure we can't compare this exclusive network with App.net but believe me, Twitter having gazillions of people does not add any value to me.
It makes my day harder, because every day more shit is produced in Twitter and Twitter is focusing on # of people vs # of advertisement clicks. They don't care about me. This is the old T.V model and I don't have a cable at home any more.

I'm entrepreneur and a programmer. If App.Net brings in VCs, marketers, entrepreneurs and good programmers I'm in. I will pay $10-$20 p/m to be in that network. App.net will care about what their users think. They have to.

It's not about the # of people, it's about the value they create; the content they write, the links they share, the conversations they have.

I don't care if 2M 16 year old Justin Bieber fans joining to the network. No value to me.
Cardinal Richelieu only needed six lines, but I bet he'd have been very happy with a decade or so worth of emails and google queries.

anyhoo, I won't be satisfied with "dismantling the whole nuclear arsenal of the USA" : I want total global elimination.
perhaps we can begin by agreeing that ending the development of new nuclear weapons should not represent a huge allocation of resources. In fact, that kind of no-cost leadership by example could be the most important step towards convincing other actors to move beyond the nuclear error.

That's not a problem.

The problem is that people believe nursing is supposed to be a woman's job, and that a male nurse is thus unmanly for freely choosing to become one.

These beliefs are wrong. They are sexist. Full stop.

An indicator of the prevalence of these beliefs is the dominance of women in the nursing profession. This is hard, factual, statistical data that we can point to; it's easier to parse than qualitative data, such as stories of males laughing at male nurses for their profession.

It is a chicken-and-egg problem. Are blacks more likely to be criminals, or does the expectation that blacks become criminals increase the number of blacks being investigated for crime, leading to a higher rate of discovery? Is it because blacks are systematically discouraged from getting an education, which tends towards lower incomes and higher likelihoods of becoming criminal?

These are statistical truths. Absolute? Hardly; they're still mere statistics, which always lie. But statistics are closer to the truth than the dubious anecdotes we had before. They can demonstrate the existence of bias, even if that bias cannot be causatively tied to sexism. And in the end, that demonstration is more proof than the inverse position, the position that the nursing profession should be biased towards women, which really only has the above-mentioned sexist beliefs to fall back on.
"Drowning out"

Medicine is a huge industry. Where I am from, women are 70 percent of entrants. They still get help with applications (women in medicine career days etc). They are more likely to take long career breaks and work part time. In the UK, where the tax payer pays for education + all treatment this is not cost efficient. I don't have a link but a recent bmj article showed over a career, 1.7 women cover the same hours as men excluding time off for illness.

If I was to suggest a "men in medicine" society I would be shunned for trying to make a new generation of 'the old boys club'. In fact, my club would probably be considered illegal due to discrimination. If I was to suggest that moves were made to make medical school 50:50 admission then I would be laughed at despite decades of pushing for increased female intake.

Men are often told we have the best of it but we also have the worst. Homelessness, drug abuse, assault, suicide, car accidents, alcoholism etc are all higher in men. When I did some time doing general practice (primary care) I realised that the amount of men aged 40-80 that live by themselves and are alone is huge in comparison to the amount of females.

Let's keep things simple.

Stop the social engineering. If more men go to school to be engineers then so be it. If a female is in your engineering class then she shouldn't be treated differently- she shouldn't have more chance of getting a job either if she gets the same grades.

If we "need" to push more women into tech then why shouldn't we push them out of other careers in the name of equality.

Edit:
For clarity, I don't believe that we should 'rebalance' medicine, I was being sarcastic.

They also drive pretty slow from what I recall.
Actually, one of the conflicts I felt while I was at yahoo related to the fact that the customers aren't the same people as the users. "Customers" at yahoo are the advertisers, and they're the ones who generate the revenue. "Users" are just the eyeballs looking at the ads. When business is good, there's little conflict, which is why this isn't a big deal for Facebook or google. But when business falters, advertisers start making demands that ultimately compromise the user experience. Bigger, more prominent ads make the customers happy, and may generate more short-term revenue, but they ultimately drive users away. I feel like yahoo is in the middle of this right now, and I'm not sure what they can do to appeal to their users and their customers simultaneously.
Is it possible to run python in a script like LUA runs in an iOS app? I think myself it may be possible, but I don't see any examples.
Real example I heard on internship interview at MS:

Printers lie. Printers have embedded fonts and when you can use them instead rendering the text in software, the results end up better. But printers lie about which fonts they have and which characters are represented in them, so Word has (or used to have) this very big lookup table that basically tells "if you're printing on printer X from vendor Y, don't trust what it says about fonts and just send rendered text to it".
Hopefully a few hundred million XP users will upgrade. For me, it's all about Internet Explorer. If Win8 does well, IE10 will be the new minimum for html5, and it's a lot better than the previous IE's.

Most non-corporate Win7 users should get the IE10 update too. In a year IE8 usage will be in the single digits.

Things like living on a village and having an stress free life can greatly improve your life expectancy.

In some rural areas on my country it's usual to live around 100 - 120 years. In some places, even having a pork farm based economy and eating all sorts of different pork derivatives on a daily base.

IMHO, what kills us on cities is just contamination and stress.

A lot of the Wordpress 0day came from guys who wanted nothing more than links back to a website. Don't underestimate what parts of the target are valuable to others, just because they aren't publically dumping databases (the linkedin database was passed around underground for a while before going public)

My biggest concern is that we are near 48 hours now and Dropbox are not able to rule out a compromise. If they had systems in place and any confidence in them they should be able to do that, not something that takes days.

I am a long-term SunOS/Solaris user (~20 years) and what killed Solaris is they neglected Solx86 for years for fear of cannibalizing SPARC sales. What happened was devs got Linux boxes to replace SPARCstations (using them as cheap X servers) then x86 and x64 got good enough for servers, and everyone ditched Solaris in order to get onto the commodity hardware (Linux wasn't really a factor in this decision, it just happened to be the dominant Unix on that hardware at the time, could easily have been FreeBSD). Thanks to Microsoft and their NT pretensions, supporting hardware vendors (e.g. storage) were manufacturing compatible kit too. It didn't help that Sun managed to forget that they were a business, and a hardware business at that. Giving stuff away to drive sales is a proven strategy, but no-one was buying SPARCs. Turns out it was cheaper to buy PCs and accept failures and workaround them, than to buy a "real" server that wouldn't fail and if it did, you could hot-swap anything. Call it the Google method.

Sun could have had a compelling desktop-to-datacentre story, all Solaris, on Intel PCs all the way to SPARC near-mainframes. But they succumbed to short term thinking and killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. The alternative to the Oracle acquisition was for them to go the way of SGI...

People who live off the grid also live off the grid during a disaster such as Japan's tsunami. So there is the same trouble from lacking during a disaster as there is in this independence you connect to riches.
I'll go one further and say all software has similar issues.

To give you a more concrete examples a game project I work on has many characters with skills. There is a lot of shared code across the skills, which is a good thing. A handful of skills are of the "charge" type. Press a button and lunge forward, each with it's own variation. Knockback targets, grapple targets, throw, throw backwards, apply buff to charger, apply debuff to victim, leave acid trail of damage, etc.

The whole setup has been built up over years and is tragically fragile today. Adding in a new charge variant requires being very careful you don't break any of the pre-existing skills. It may seem safe, and even appropriate, to make minor changes in the sequence of events but there's a good change it will break one skill in one particular case where multiple, infrequent combination of factors are in play.
> The bigger question in my mind is how we solve that structural problem.

Agreed. But I don't think that's a battle worth fighting just in the tech industry. There are rights for women that can be fought for in general: better protections against sexual harassment, better requirements for maternity (and paternity) leaves, etc. (Google found me this: http://www.now.org/issues/wfw/empledge.html )

Tech could strive to be a leader here: an industry that's more friendly to women than any other. But it would be setting an example for the rest of the nation, rather than making it a purely tech-industry-specific issue.

This doesn't solve the essential issue of Sexist Men Exist, but really... the only way to solve that is, ironically, conversation.

This is a game changer for big sites on EC2. The key word here is local: 2 TB of local SSD-backed storage.

In this video [1], Foursquare says the biggest problem they're facing with EC2 is consistency in I/O performance. They say that the instance storage simply isn't fast enough for them, and while EBS is fast enough when RAIDed, it isn't consistent since it isn't local (EBS is traffic goes over the network). Reddit has also complained about EBS, but they've been able to move onto the instance storage.

If you're willing to reserve the instance for 3 years, the average monthly cost becomes only $656. That's quite a good deal.

Foursquare says in that video they're planning to migrate off of EC2, in part due to I/O performance. I'll be interested to hear whether or not this instance type changes their minds.

White House petition: release government-developed software as open source
Cells have the ability to sense DNA damage. They produce proteins that specifically recognize and bind to various signs of DNA damage, such as single-stranded DNA (normal DNA is double-stranded), DNA ends (which are normally protected inside telomeres), fused base pairs, etc. One possible response is to repair the damage, and this is done quite often. In fact, there is are several checkpoints during every cell division cycle where the cell will pause the cycle and wait for everything to report in as damage-free before continuing. It's actually a bit distressing to realize that pretty much every one of your cells is constantly fixing its genome in real time, and a bit mind-blowing how successful the process is (i.e. the fact that you don't get cancer several times a day).

However, another option in the case that the cell detects irreparable damage is for the cell to self-destruct. If the cell detects excessive DNA damage, it will initiate apoptosis. Also, if the DNA damage is taking too long to repair, the same will happen (kind of like Android's "force close" feature for hung apps). My assumption would be that most of the germline cells that are damaged by the radiation from a nuclear bomb would either fix it or kill themselves, leaving mostly perfectly healthy cells to produce healthy sperm & eggs.

In short, if 10% of your germline cells are damaged by radiation, you will not be producing anywhere near 10% mutated sperm (or eggs).

I firmly believe diets are like software development methodologies.

I mentioned that it's an anecdote in the first sentence and it's something based on my own experience with the life of a close family member, not some myth I heard about from others.

It's also in the context of the comment I replied to, which also contains conclusions based on personal experience. And when speaking about nutrition these days, most known facts are based on flawed studies or anecdotes.

And HN itself is filled with anecdotes. It's actually in this community's culture to talk in anecdotes.

I've bought about 10 things off fab.com since they've launched... As you mentioned, the stuff isn't highly discounted, but the way I look at it is that it's a very nicely curated collection of cool shit I would never have found on my own, plus it is discounted slightly (generally like 10-20% or so). 37 Signals has always talked about curating and I think there's a lot of value in it.

On a side note, their site is a killer on memory... As someone who digs browsing through and cmd-clicking things I'm interested in to check out later, this site ruins my computer (top of line macbook air).
This is just an illustration of the problem.

Look, working crazy hours is absolutely, positively NOT in any way a requirement for success in the tech industry. It's not even a very good way to get work done. But it is commonplace. And it is taken as a shibboleth within this industry. And it does exclude people, especially women but others as well.

You can't really use unacceptable impact in risk analysis, it is too subjective. In my opinion illegal fire arms have a (high likelihood * unacceptable impact) risk. Would this risk be greater than the (low likelihood * unacceptable impact)?

Yes, no-new-nukes would be a major step forward. Unfortunately it seems that the Cold War is still on, with the USA building missile defense systems in the eastern Europe and the Russia responding with more missiles near its western borders.
