I find it very interesting to know what Amazon's competitive advantage would be from having their own logistics business. 1) Shipping is the definition of a commoditized business. Unlike AWS, for example, they will not be pioneering a

I really hope this is available to personal accounts, and not only business, as the blog post sort of implies. With the average laptop being 256GB and the Dropbox paid account being 1TB, that's badly needed.

What are your gross margins? What is the monthly churn rate for active users (active to inactive)? How much revenue (in USD) have you have booked each month for the last 6 months?

Python's pudb is extremely useful if you don't use a full blown IDE. It gives you an ncurses-based GUI debugger inside any Python app. Snapshot debuggers like Google Cloud Debugger are probably the way forward. Alas it doesn'

From an earlier article[1], ”It’s not a 24/7 market, there’s no peer-to-peer transactions right now.” So without any P2P ability, is there any value to having a single-server private chain? [1] http://www.coindesk.com/h

Mapmakers (and dictionary makers alike) often introduce small, purposeful errors so that they can track who steals their data. This could be Google's (not very subtle) attempt.

I think CodeDeploy is quite an undervalued AWS tool. It's a combination of Puppet for server config and Heroku-style deploys. Together with AutoScaling it makes it trivial to set up any number of identical servers, without relying on c

I've never understood the need for a complicated sous-vide setup. I've found that water at 80 degrees Celsius in a heavy pot with the lid on will remain sufficiently hot for 30-45 minutes. If not, you can always swap the water hal

Reading between the lines, it sounds like they've rewritten InnoDB's storage layer and made it multi-server aware w/ consensus.

As an app just launching it'd make sense to try product-market fit on one platform before investing in all three.

Since there still won't be a Python 2.8, I read this as the mainstream Python not evolving one bit for the next 6 years. For me, this would be grounds for moving to a different language.

AirBnB has a $1,000,000 insurance on every booking. Yes, what happened sucks, but the guy should raise noise if AirBnB refuses to cover his damages. For what it's worth, claiming your host insurance with AirBnB is part of doing busines

The simple answer is you have dozens of planes on the ground at airports, which you don't want to appear on all the radars. Yes, a technological fix would be trivial, but those systems were designed decades ago, when being a pilot was

It's one of those ideas that never die - services to comment on sites have been around for more than a decade - I've seen a few during the dotcom boom. The problem always is lack of critical mass - the service user base is tiny co

In the earliest days of the London Underground, trains used steam engines, which would collect steam and release it only at specified openings above tunnels, so as to not suffocate everyone. In posh areas, fake housefronts like this one: h
