> I think that whatever grounds corporations (and their customers) have to challenge these requests that those grounds have far more basis in the law than "it would be bad for business."

I wouldn't underestimate the extent to which the Commerce Clause could be applied.

That's how I've always felt. Coroutines are fun to play with in C++, but I'd never be caught dead using them in production code.

> overpopulate

Overpopulation is an idea based on scarcity. The technologies which enable immortality will also work to overcome scarcity.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Desktop Application Developer. Based in Colorado.

I primarily work with C#/WPF and C++/OpenGL.

Website: http://ncarlson.com

Resume: http://bit.ly/mhbBr0

Are you familiar with any PHP frameworks? What have you worked on in the past? Can you share some links or code repositories?

I may have some work for you, but I'll need this information first.

I was a bit scared there, for a moment. My name is also Nicholas Carlson, so I was wondering how businessinsider was reading my facebook cookies and generating those wonderful screenshots.

Did anyone else get a default picture of the gulf oil spill?

Polling and assumptions about behavior don't mix well.

> SpaceX seems more to me like fast food

And this is a bad thing?

One of the reasons I stay with Google is because of their minimal design aesthetic. The further they deviate from that, the more likely I am to leave.

Although, I'm not sure where I'd go.

日本語を喋れるんだ！

Amen.

Yes, I just dropped off my resume and cover letter there yesterday. It looks like a great place to work. Hopefully I'll get a call back.

7" usb monitor. $99 USD.

Looks generic enough to me.

The chemical reaction heats up the box. However, large amounts of insulation is needed to retain the heat.

I've read from various mailing lists that the technical specifications of the Erlang VM are kept internal at Ericsson as well as "in the minds" of the language's developers.

Personally, I'd love to get a hold of some documents that clearly describe the finer details of BEAM.

Very true. Between Rewire and Cubase you had almost a complete music studio as early as 1996.

Do you guys think Elon Musk would be a good addition to this list?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I must be the only one, but I cannot for the life of me make sense of any of these stories. Every story I read about these leaked emails is drowned in sarcasm. I don't know up from down.

Can someone explain what exactly is going on in plain English?

> Tumblr just broke into the Top 100

Top 100 what? Top 100 websites by traffic?

The constant camera cuts are to conceal any eye blinking that he might do. Don't quote me on this, though.

Why do some programmers feel the need to piss on other people's projects?

>"If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)"

Sweet. Only 8 more days and then I'll be able to voice my opinion without the "noob" stigma.

> Why run your stuff on inadequate, antiquated hardware?

Sometimes the problem isn't about performance, rather it's about fault-tolerance and redundancy. Granted, if all of these servers are located in the same data center, redundancy takes a hit. But all else being equal, having one's software running on multiple machines reduces down-time.

Does anyone know if there are full videos of these presentations available?

Thanks.

Yeah, I misread the context of the quote. I thought he was talking about wealth.

> It's a zero sum game.

That's embarrassingly false.

This comparison makes me wonder what the upper limit is for python-based server performance. I wonder where the main bottleneck lies.
