Bcc is different than what he's describing

I'd be curious to see a similar plot of average internet speed vs time.

Kul had an informative post about doing YC a second time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3520856

The difference is that you're not free to leave in an actual prison.

“I would invest in Facebook” isn't exactly the same as "I will invest in Facebook."

With a response time like that it seems like antivirus software is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

I'm not sure what they're using but if I recall from when this has come up before Amazon's EC2 ToS prohibits this usasge.

I'd love it if MITx courses could give a chance for real credit, rather than a certificate. That said, what incentive does MIT have to give real credit? It seems like it would only devalue taking these courses in person.

I guess I don't know how much "being the next Silicon Valley" is pundit talk or their actual stated objective. Newry using the term Emerald Valley is a bit much, but I don't think they should be told to "please stop trying."

I have to say, I found this article overly negative. Newry isn't a good host to startups because 10 years ago their population was 30k and they have a sheep industry?

Just because they're trying to encourage entrepreneurs to flock there doesn't mean they're trying to usurp Silicon Valley. As someone who isn't an American citizen I know how non visa friendly many companies in the Valley are, and I love to see smaller startup hubs around the world starting to pop up. Even if the author doesn't like the climate in Vladivostok (and I incidentally love it), that doesn't mean talent can't start to congregate there.

Even if the questionable content was legal I still support this. I don't think a website is under any obligation to allow content they don't want strictly to protect free speech. They don't want people posting sexually suggestive images of kids? That's their prerogative.

Could you elaborate why the law precludes it?

Is this really a problem? I can't imagine taking a clear picture of a stranger's face rather than exchanging a few words and introducing myself.
