Hopefully specialforces.com will do a full disclosure to their customers immediately. Every second counts at this point...

Please do not create throwaway accounts to make one-off, potentially controversial comments. It dilutes the quality of the discussion.

Yeah, really though.
The indextank repo proper is interesting (and useful) enough, but indextank-service (https://github.com/linkedin/indextank-service) made my jaw drop a little. It's a full administrative stack for deploying indextank as a service.

Joined.
I've got at least one +1, maybe two potentially.
There are a lot of feeder groups for this type of thing: the Toronto Ruby Brigade in particular probably has a lot of HN types.

While this briefly has some attention: who's up for a generic Hacker News meetup?

He also seems to misunderstand the Windows pricing model as some kind of subscription service (which may be true for products like MSDN, but not in general):
"As soon as you stop paying the licensing fee, you cease to own the software. This is especially impactful with their corporate clients. Imagine if Ford and GM had decided at the onset of the automotive industry that when you buy your car, you need to bring it in yearly for a checkup, with payment — and any year you miss that, the ownership of the car reverts back to them."

I agree, but for different reasons. It's simply not a newsworthy item. Gossip worthy? Looks like it.

Why is this being up voted when the link is broken?

The reason you are being down voted, just so you know, is because you're being flippant and dismissive.

Yes.
I'm sure there's a solid handful of us.

Worth and cost are not the same.

Thanks for these po. Sublime Text is kicking major ass these days.

That time line might be a bit aggressive.
But what's undoubtedly true is that Facebook is laying the infrastructure for predictive analysis of pretty much everything.

Thanks for this - a video was the first idea that came to my mind.

With a monthly burn of only $150 though, why kill it? The all or nothing approach seems stubborn to an outsider. Maybe it doesn't generate a full time income, but you only need 30 users to break even every month. That seems like an achievable goal.
