Your experience with their support was excellent because mine was very poor ... in the sense that they charged me money and didn't gave it back - they have auto billing enabled by default. So yeah, go enjoy on the expense of other people bo

That's what versioning is for, isn't it? You still can submit old data under the previous version, and old apps will works just fine as they won't see the new data. New apps will have to deal with old versions somehow, or some back-end job

It looks like for the amazon-type companies the company's culture gets replaced by the founders image, as people need some way to grasp the company as a whole.

I'm not noticing it on a VERY large project, but my installed RAM is 12GB. The trade-off between RAM and productivity is in the Reshaper's favour IMO.

Everybody using VS should already know about Resharper. But just in case someone doesn't - this is a must to have if you work for enterprise, request it from your employer now!

So, how SOPA makes anything better? You cannot blacklist a botnet, right? You cannot blacklist a scummer, as he would just setup another domain, right? Who you can very well blacklist is a small guy with his blog giving a honest opinion abo

Last time I read about IndexTank I noticed that their query language isn't that sophisticated, it could basically find only matches. Did it improve, is it possible to do fuzzy matches? ADD: also, does it support non-english languages at all

Outside of Google, Facebook and another top 10 internet businesses, can someone share a realistic example of employing M/R in a typical corporate environment? I'd be really interested at moving forward with the tech but for the time being I

They now look like direct competitors to Microsoft - providing tools for iOS and Android devs and kind of distracting them from W Phone. Do they have the right kind of agreements to be sheltered from MS anger should it come?

I'd rather suggest to rename 'NoSql' to 'NSQL' meaning 'New Structured Query Language'. CoSql doesn't stand up the test of aggregation, as KV nodes are distance apart and sometimes partitioned too. Map/Reduce is kind of a substitute for agg

Been debt-free, employable I have gone through the painful experience of failing. It isn't about your mechanical abilities being challenged, i.e. skills and ability to pay the bills, it's more about the astounding realization that "I cannot

We have recently seen a number of startups (including YC founded AFAIK) that look for ways to make twitter data useful. But I don't remember catching any notice of such successes. While DataSift realtime capabilities look really impressive,

I think the most important take-away is that you need to be part of some very active and vibrant community, like indie musicians. Otherwise your co-op strategy may get to a stall because not enough people will care enough

The patent thing may look laughable from the outside but inside the US it's pretty much required by how everything in business has been set up - to squeeze everything out of anyone using so-called 'legal' methods. The legal system in the US

Why not anybody thought that what Milner does is he paves the road to even more money coming from legit and not-so-legit investments from Russian oligarchs. Once Milner gets settled in the SV and proves his operations are successful, then R

I think that VCs that restricted themselves to only 'social introductions' are indeed so desperate to have a way of meeting new people on the Internet. Also it looks like they don't know how to do it without an artificial engine and cannot

I think Bezos' argument is a very practical one. In the established market there are already lots of customers with pain. They know what they want and ready to pay for it. So you follow them and fulfil their needs. Then you have the resourc

Isn't it exactly the answer that finally clarifies the idea vs. execution debate? You can't build a product to meet a vision if you don't have a compelling innovative idea, regardless of how good you execute. And the opposite is true in the
