Have you tried any of the speed test sites, for example http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks ISPs know all the speed test sites and will not throttle speed test packets.

It would be nice if they included a statement as to how they will replace revenue otherwise earned through hijacking errors.

Why are you not connecting to https rather than hoping for some redirect?

I think we need to distinguish the road technology from the solar technology. Is this a viable road technology when decoupled from the solar technology? Is this mechanism of solar collection/distribution more or less effective than other efforts? Clearly, our paved-over world could be put to better use, but is this approach a net gain or is it just solar buzz?

More important than price is engagement value. If I spend four months with a game, I don't mind the $60 price. Some notable examples for me: Skyrim, GTA-V, and Dark Souls 2. However, I have played games with little or no engagement value. BioShock 2 lasted less than 2 weeks (2 play throughs).

We new net neutrality codified in regulations so that google et. al. can't change their minds.

Serious link bait! The deadliest plane crash ever had to be 911.

It would also be nice to see how much he makes from performing his work, as apposed to making copies of his work.

While this is a reasonable approach, it quickly breaks down when you look at code written by others who do not follow this approach.

If you want a real LA experience, join the morning commute.

Lately, it seem like this adage would be better stated as, "Guns don't kill people, gun laws kill people"

Julia is not fun. We expect it to be fun, like python, but it's not.

I don't know akamai's relationship with open source projects, but it sounds like they had local changes and tried to karma whore them as, "trust us, our customers were protected, and we contribute to open source." I hope I'm wrong, or they deserve the public shaming they are receiving. Ultimately, we need more engagement from commercial organizations benefiting from open source projects.

If you want to do number crunching, julia, otherwise avoid it. There are just too many oddities that, imo, will limit it's acceptance as a general purpose programming language.

Didn't you notice the teespring domain? That domain should be auto-flagged on HN.

The video is edited for dramatic effect making it difficult to follow the mechanics of the game.

I find the blog disingenuous. We haven't forgotten this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7243021 Why not take another stab based on what you learned.

The answer is TV and, increasingly, the Internet.

I've heard a rumor that telegram was developed by the creator of vkontakre, the russian facebook clone.

"Brains behind TiVo"? TiVo just modernized video recording by digitizing it.

Can we tip Jerry a square of toilet paper instead?

The TextSecure server is AGPL. Take that Telegram!

People don't choose ruby, they choose rails.

Telegram is a centralized service. Also, consider this http://www.cryptofails.com/post/70546720222/telegrams-crypta...

Mind your own business.

We shouldn't equate giving with tax write offs. Basically, MZ took $1 billion of our money and decided for us how it should be spent.
