Judging from this: http://www.google.com/inbox/ , we have: * Folder and Rules (with the only distinction of having some pre-populated ones, I think) * Some smart content extraction from known emails (reservations, invo

It's not really clear to me what part of dropbox isn't distributed? (in the sense that it's hosted on multiple computers), the data is distributed and the processing is distributed. Do they mean it has a central controller&#

If you are an advertiser for a product (let's say a fishing) pole and you are targeting a certain demographic (let's say people who might buy a fishing pole) and you know that the person you are targeting, beyond just being intere

> I believe it does address this. Each log entry is either committed or not; an entry can only be committed if it has been replicated to a majority of nodes. Any node that lacks a committed entry cannot be elected master because of the e

If I've understood the presentation correctly, Raft is a master-slave protocol that determines how to choose a master. Considering it basically relies on random chance (I.E. who receives the message first) to elect a master, has basica

So this site is using a custom built library called "playback.js": https://github.com/benbjohnson/playback.js looks interesting.

This is a bit of a linkbait. There are maybe two lines on how the new "picture" element makes the web faster. The rest is the story of how the "picture" element came to be, which is a very interesting story but has nothi

If ModelB needs to wait for ModelA, and it already is aware of ModelA (which your code requires) - why not make ModelA into an eventDispatcher, have ModelB listen to ModelA, and have ModelA dispatch an event when it's done (Or write a

Not a single negative reaction? that seems weird, surely there should be dissenting voices, what do they say?

Maybe it's just me, but if someone had told me that a VR company is bought by facebook, I'd say it was an acquhire for an augmented reality appliance to compete with google-glass . I don't buy into PR announcements.

Is there any evidence that this thinking is true? has any VC employee ever implied that VCs invest in infrastructure firms to increase the probability of their other investments succeeding?

Why not? it's not like google and other crawler bots crawl your site every second, we are talking about roughly once a day. And even then, there are solutions to do PhantomJS rendering on the fly, it might be a bit slower, but shouldn&

All these arguments seem like lowly excuses to not do proper work and instead blame the framework you are using. If you have any kind of interactiveness the feel of a fat client is so much better then template rendering. Look at the site:

What about artificially increasing the size of the hash input. For instance: when finding out if a a contact exists the client sends 10 iterations of the contact (I.E. the contact number with another digit, each 0-9) hashed, the server keep

why not? assuming 100% paralalism, isn't it simply the amount of computations you can do in a certain period of time?

DropBox is built on the premise of availability (I.E. it's available from everywhere, and easy to share). Availability is usually in direct conflict with Security (let alone encryption). If you want your files encrypted (or just some o

Strange. I was working with Firefox 21, and it didn't work. I've updated to 22 and it did.

Great, another example of a site that is vendor locked to the Chrome browser. Considering your site doesn't work on the majority of browsers (Neither Firefox nor IE), I'm not sure what "testing" you've actually done

Apart from having a story that spans 10 years (which, btw, actually undermines the goal of user generated content), what exactly is new about this? Almost every new MMO tries to be user centric. I'm not seeing the: “We’re not doing this jus
