I make this type of argument pretty often and it is more to counteract the psychological impact of terrorism than anything else. We should feel that our safety is in jeopardy only relative to the likelihood of a given threat. Any more so only empowers the the people who are threatening us.

GQ's print content is 70% advertising, why would you expect their digital to be any different?

Out of curiosity how often do you tweak the time decay of a given post? Also do some posts have different time decays based on the content (eg. Who's Hiring? vs YC job post vs standard post)?

Strike while the iron is hot.

I feel that profitable Division 1 athletic teams should pay their athletes the same as top tier internship contracts (GOOG, MSFT, FB, etc). Why is one student allowed to profit from talent and hard work while another is explicitly forbidden to do so?

That is essentially what RPX Corporation provides

When will I be able to collapse comments on HN threads?

This has been available for over a decade with the win32com client using COM. You can easily register python classes so that you can call them from Excel and easily call Excel from Python. There is nothing new in this video. I put a simple tutorial on how to do some of this last year. http://detroitcoder.me/2013/11/26/video-create-python-object...

It sounds cool doesn't it? I haven't thought about it before this thread but it sounds pretty easy to put together.

What are your thoughts on this? - Remote Working Groups (3 - 10 people) - New city every month - Rent entire home via AirBNB - Keep per person avg monthly rent below 1000 USD

I have started to experiment with this over the last month. Staying at room shares on airbnb, working in coffee shops/co-working spaces during the day and then meetups at night to network. Doing this with a group would lower costs and keep a sense of familiarity. Do you think a less formal concept of this would work?

Thank you!

If someone in 1981 had seen this running on the same hardware they would have assumed it was alien software created by a higher lever species.

Just bought it! Thanks

Amateurs. If you are going to crawl distribute it across unique IP addresses.

Can you elaborate on why celery makes a world of difference?

After reading the article, my gut reaction was 'Oh this is an interesting article, I wonder what the HN comments have to say about it?'

Then I see the top comments and they all try to discredit Greenwald as a sensationalist trying to grab publicity at the expense of honest reddit moderators. I then mentally put less validity on the article and move on to the next link. However I can't help but question if somehow my reaction was engineered by someone else. Just a thought.

What are some general guidelines around network speed to follow?

When I am teaching someone programming from scratch with Python, I usually get to Flask by day 3/4. Other than having to use decorators that look confusing at first, it is very intuitive and a quick win for newcomers looking for results.

Sounds interesting, wish my work firewall would let me read it...
