Re:HTTP vs. HTTPS on Monday December 01, 2014 @05:33PM (#8684411)
Why do the images load in a different order between https and http? Https seems to load them in order and http seems to randomly fill them in.

I think a distributed system is better defined as a system where timing becomes an issue to the coordination of components in the system.

Isn't this just the same as Dynamic Programming?
Very slick! Does it automatically start OCRing every image, or does it wait for a user to try to select the image text? Asking because I'm concerned about this decreasing performance.

500 Startups Demo Day is hardly invite only - I attended once and had the option to buy a ticket to attend demo days. The slides are publicly available anyways. Unless they were impersonating you when talking to investors this is irrelevant.

Buying Adwords on things related to 500 is definitely aggressive, but well within the lines of fair play. If this is actually hurting your startup then both companies need to reconsider the size of the market they are in.
