Working on it - http://jellly.com/

Also, just got a Firefox addon working that provides automatic related links to most web pages. Unfortunately, it relies on search now.

But I'm sure that any sufficiently popular content-discovery tool will have a lot of spammers trying to game it. It's not easy to fight that.

I do appreciate your suggestions, but this doesn't have anything to do with my ego.

It's great to have constructive criticism like the points contained in your comment, but had it been written without the sarcasm and small insults I would have found it that much more compelling.

Sounds like ego to me. There was no sarcasm in his host, and its critical tone is probably warranted when your site takes that long to load.

To say that Germans "invented modern thought" is pushing it. Perhaps you can qualify that with an appropriate definition of "modern thought". The first few disciplines were around long before the 19th century.

I think the GP was referring to "mandating the same function for everything (via a common protocol under the covers) was better than risking people implementing a thousand different method names".

It's possible great advice. See these two TED Talks by Sugata Mitra for evidence:

Idea: Bot which automatically gives relevant replies to comments, using NLP, sentiment analysis and web search to find relevant links. It would only reply if it's certain enough that the link it wants to suggest is relevant enough and has a dissenting opinion relative to the comment as well as decent pagerank/social-media-rank.

It's not quite a 1:1 correspondence. For example, high quality video came to Linux somewhere in 2.x, when Windows got it in 4.0. That said, I believe it took about a year to get it on Linux after Windows.

I don't know how cryptography works, so I'd like to know why the key length for all cryptography schemes seems to go up in powers of 2. What's the reason one couldn't have a 1300 bit RSA key, for example?

Alcohol has many other disadvantages which are, IMO, worse than just the harm to personal health, though these normally only surface when overused. Can't say the same about marijuana though, and I agree with you about that.

Do you really need SSD's to do a thousand reads per second? I'm assuming this is with a hot cache, and the access pattern on the 10TB of data is pretty heavily skewed towards a much smaller portion of the total dataset. Also, RAID-ed 15K drives, and the nature of the queries matter. We don't really know enough about the whole setup to know what's possible.

Please elaborate. Solving linear equations with software is nothing new, this algorithm just does it faster. So I'd like to see prior art for what you're describing here, sounds interesting. How exactly would one apply linear algebra to solving the first and third questions for example?

I just wanted to point out that it's not 90k concurrent users, but 90k total users (for some unknown definition of "user"). But it does process a couple dozen tweets per second according to him, with low load. That's quite a far ways off from 90k concurrent users. That's not to say that Go wouldn't help in that case, it really depends on what the application is doing.
