Consumers preferring point-to-point air travel killed the A380.

Easy to do, if you're rational that is

majurg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your favorite, cheap throwaway computer?

Old MacBooks, just because I like osx.

majurg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What small websites do you frequently use/visit?

I use this all the time, it's great.

majurg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What did you pay for firstnamelastname.com

$10

majurg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you encrypt your laptops?

Why not just regularly back up your machine? I wouldn't expect apple store techs to recover my data anyway if I had to bring in a machine for repairs.

majurg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you (developers) manage your own servers?

Yes, but we are a small group with modest needs.

That infographic left out Alaska, Canada and Mexico.

Not true at all. Out side of progressive areas like major coastal cities posession of marijuana can in some cases be a felony offense. Contrary to what you have stated, people ARE arrested regularly for simple possession of the drug, almost always meaning very limited life prospects in the future.

majurg | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How much does your startup cost?

9 mil is nothing to scoff at. Sell it and start a new company, or work out deal where you continue to work on the product if you simply cannot part with it.

All hypothetical of course =)

bitcoin

majurg | 11 years ago | on: Does anyone here run their PC without antivirus?

The only AV 'software' I use is Common Sense™. That and frequent backups have been pretty effective so far.

YMMV though...

Pretty sure JS is the brunt of the visualizations, etc.

majurg | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why doesn't Microsoft release Windows 7 for free?

Enterprise I would think. Volume license fees probably make up a good chunk of revenue for microsoft.

majurg | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are your thoughts about 'Everyone Should Learn How To Code'?

The saying "Everyone should learn how to write" is the same sort of thing. It would be great if more people were able to write well, but the reality is one must put in some effort to be effective at any skill.

Should everyone learn how to code? It would be nice/cool if everyone did, but it is probably not plausible.

majurg | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you do for a living?

IT client support...

majurg | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Should I drop out of college to go work at a startup?
