Re:Launch HN: Peer5 (YC W17) – Serverless CDN on Friday January 27, 2017 @03:20PM (#13502293)
Hi @shacharz do customers approve that his device would be used in p2p work ? For example if I'm on cell network I don't want to server traffic to other clients.
done !
thanks will try that
Thanks will try at some point, my biggest concern was that those kind of API's are almost all paid and rarely open sourced.
Just pages for now.
there are couple things here: 1. scrapping web page to get text content 2. use NLTK to proccess text and get summary and keywords 3. wrap it into REST API and serve as web service
I used NLTK in Python http://nltk.org + Twisted for serving HTTP
similar to healthcare and education

In VC world there are only Limited Partners (LP who give money) and general/managing partners (who invest money), everything else is non-essential.

Agree with above, Sama puts himself into same bucket of people as Zuck and Musk in how to build future series. What he has build so far ? Happened to be a VC partner sitting on huge pile of cash, distributing it to bunch of YC applicants ? I could see Paul Graham as YC founder takes some credit for creating all YC unicorns, Sam is just one of many partners in VC firm, nothing outstanding though.

Awesome, I was waiting this to happen for years. Paying $$$ to newrelic was not an option for me.

thanks for posting, really helpful guideline.
Indeed I'm tired to read articles on how awesome SPDY, HTTP/2 is. Why nobody publishes fair benchmarks on various networks with packet loss ?
Re:Which Android HTTP library to use on Saturday September 12, 2015 @01:59PM (#10208754)
Facebook using java.util.concurrent.Future<T> interface for downloading task: see here

https://github.com/facebook/fresco/blob/c5e1d4cf2c081bf871f5...

you can ether call future.cancel() or cancel(true): in first case download task will be finished but further processing in pipeline will be stopped. Future.cancel(true) is more aggressive and abandons download but you will get InterruptedException. As you see from source code Facebook using less aggressive approach with future.cancel(false) call.

Re:Which Android HTTP library to use on Saturday September 12, 2015 @01:30PM (#10208659)
I would recommend Fresco from Facebook, they had implemented cancellation logic also memory allocation done in more efficient way than other libs.

Nice writeup, would love to see more performance tests

awesome explanation on how TCP slows everything down, I'm going to try this PacketZoom SDK mentioned in the article.
