I stand corrected

> Could you quote/link to Obama's confirmation that Prism exists

I'll give you gizmodo because it has specifically the quotes http://gizmodo.com/president-obamas-prism-response-wont-make...

> No need to proclaim personal tastes as absolute truths around here.

In all fairness, we all do that a lot.

I was not aware that 1 character domains where possible until now. I wonder why they are restricted in most main TLDs.

  |1080p display

I still fail to understand how can that be important for anyone on a mobile phone

I believe it has been Google all along, I guess when you do things at their scale this matters, but indeed I can't see any average dev rushing to support it.

readability is probably not the right term, but I think he means easy to understand. Doesn't matter how elegant PyPy's code is, it'll surely be more complex than an straight forward interpreter.

What did you find slow? writes? retrieving by key? map-reduce? From what I've heard erlang map-reduce is much performant than the javascript one.

Great news. I discovered ES last year and fell in love with it. Far better than solr in almost every aspect. When I saw how automatically detects nodes, distributes data, recovers from a failed node, etc. all without administration I could not believe it. It's every devops dream.

virtualenv allows you to do that too (virtualenv -p [path to python]). You just need to download the interpreter yourself.

If they release some sort of Ultima VII kind of game in the world of GoT this might be the first time I'll give a facebook game a try.

They might be cheap, but they are far from easy, I would actually qualify it as the most painful purchase process I've ever experienced (my former employer had domains there). And my political beliefs had nothing to do here, technological beliefs at most.

Anyway, Godaddy is where I would expect my father to buy a domain, not someone at HN. Hence my surprise. But turns out the op didn't register the domain himself, he was just pointing it out.

godaddy? really?

could you give us the URL?

plus you can not just mix html and python code, which might not be a good practice, but is incredibly useful for something quick and dirty.

Well, it takes 2 users to make 1 friendship, so it would be half of that. Plus that's the number of daily users, the total number of users is like double. So the average friends per user must be around 65.
