Not accusing you of being intentionally misleading, but it would be nice if you put a clear disclaimer pointing out that you work for CloudHarmony.

That last link /company/join doesn't work, FYI :)

Why would Sergey Brin advocate startups being founded where all the action and high valuations are?

He knows that it's hard to move your company once you've settled in somewhere. Much more economical for Google if you stay on the fringe outskirts and let them acquire your baby for pennies on the dollar.

Not that surprising considering it doesn't really matter how outdated their website looks.

Stocks will still allow themselves to be bought by BSHW.

How did this make it to the front page? grin

With that being said, I've known a fair number of varying degrees of paranoid people.

I suspect this tactic would oftentimes just play into, indulge, and validate their paranoia.

Please get rid of the annoying "this will only take a second" popup, I was reading but closed the window immediately when that shit started.

100% agree with this method. Math calculations are never really used with IDs in my experience.

Vehemently disagree. What you are proposing is everything wrong with security-by-obscurity.

In this case the security hole of /user/123 just needs to be properly locked down. That is all.

It started off so nice and friendly, and then reads so hostile at the end. Sort of like a shit sandwich, except with the bottom slice of bread missing.

I am curious to understand how Torus is similar to Sheepdog [0].

From the Sheepdog website:

    Sheepdog is a distributed object storage system for
    volume and container services and manages the disks
    and nodes intelligently. Sheepdog features ease of use,
    simplicity of code and can scale out to thousands of
    nodes.

    The block level volume abstraction can be attached to
    QEMU virtual machines and Linux SCSI Target and supports
    advanced volume management features such as snapshot,
    cloning, and thin provisioning.

    The object level container abstraction is designed to
    be Openstack Swift and Amazon S3 API compatible and can
    be used to store and retrieve any amount of data with a
    simple web services interface.

Ditto that. This just started up again a week or two ago and it's driving me mad!

Gorm https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm

I wonder if they tried using any sort of infrared vision at night to locate her?

Do you think it might have been responsible to disclose that you are a "Senior Advisor" to this coreinfrastructure initiative thing?

- Passports: Not Secret.

- Drivers Licenses: Also Not Secret.

- Banking details of the people who have been ripping off the rest of the world...sorry if I fail to see the downside of dumping all of it :)

EDIT:

At the same time, I understand where you're coming from so thanks for the info mikeyouse!

Is there a torrent available for us to download the documents?

My mistake, sorry.

Here's a link TFA... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brain-cells-into-t...

@the_af: In the future it'd be most courteous of you to provide links to that which you cite; it spares everyone from having to google it ;)

Thanks. I'm sure many of us will come here to complain about it then immediately benefit from the info you've provided!

I wish authors would qualify more of their exotic initialisms in general.

Thanks for this!

and `brew install shellcheck`

... Did you mention where you live?

Wholeheartedly agree, and IMHO the lack of Mac compatibility completes the vibe!

No OS-X support? :(

Good question. Is it this [0]?

Probably because:

* SQL Server is proprietary

* SQL Server licenses are expensive

* SQL Server runs only on Windows (or least used to?)

What is the deal with a battery powered video doorbell?

Is there really a powerful enough battery to make it work for a useful amount of time?

Are people really willing to charge or replace the batteries as often as is required (likely every few days or a week at the very least, by my back-of-the-envelope calculation)?

Looks like they've included their .DS_Store files within the git repository:

Do any good people even work at Dropbox?

I submitted my resume years ago and never heard back. I wonder who they hired instead..

Other than Guido, of course :)

I am curious (and afraid to look): How much breakage and backwards-incompatible API changes are there this time 'round?

Completely agree with you greenyoda.

I'd also like to add that given a choice I've learned to do the portions believed to be "easy" first, that way you'll find out sooner if they actually turn out to be harder than anticipated.

This helps reduce the risk of ending up screwed as well as the severity of screwage when the unexpected arises; If you save the "easy" parts until the end, your project will be even further behind schedule.

Git-bisect for the win!

On another note, I find it very odd that this fell off the front page so quickly. Is there some kind of go/google voters club on HN that flags anything that seems negative towards go?
