An article attracts discussion is good? sure. I did not know about trak.io, now I do. The attitude in the article towards "freeloaders"? not so good. I won't argue whether it is better or not to have a freemium for "your

I'm afraid you've missed the point. Based on the data 1% is NOT "offenders" as you put it. That iss what's interesting. Take another look at the last graph. The share of wealth for the 1% except the 0.1% has NOT ch

His record is clean in the sense that (unlike the prime minister) there has been no allegations or evidence of corruption involving him. He has been positioning himself as the more modern, tolerant option the conservative AKP party that has

Many sites including Youtube did get blocked in the past, but safe to say this one is different. It is an explicit attempt to silence non-traditional media by the government. They have been working on controlling the traditional media (TV,

Author's point is that we are focusing on the wrong place (puppet, chef, etc.), hence potentially making the problem worse by attempting to deal with the symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. Puppet/Chef etc. may indeed s

If you're going to make such a loaded, inflammatory statement, at least back it up with some explanation on how you arrived that conclusion.

This is very true, particularly when dealing with large vendors. Unlike smaller companies, enterprise software vendors have large independent organizations. Support department often does not have direct access to developers and have to rely

This is awesome. It came up with some cool rhythms as well. Nicely done, kudos to your friends.

In my case it does not provide a compelling case. With 50mb, it is plenty fast and do not feel need for faster. backup of my content does not seem to require more bandwidth either for PCs. I use both Backblaze and Dropbox, and they both wor

The examples you're giving are mostly about stored data. We're able to foresee why you may need more, photos, videos, etc. On bandwidth, it's harder to imagine. With 50, you can stream multiple HD videos. What would 105 would

I think the distinction made it this comment is valuable, and echoes our experience. ES is not (at least so far) suitable as a general purpose data store, but it is suitable (and very good) for more than search. For some use cases, it'

You may want to check OpsGenie heartbeat monitoring, or essentially implement the same idea yourself. Our heartbeat monitoring expects to receive messages (via email or API) from monitoring tools periodically and notifies you via push/

Independent infrastructure is a good idea but not always feasible for everyone. At OpsGenie, to resolve this problem, we came up with a solution we refer as "heartbeat monitoring". This basically allows monitoring tools to send pe

I can only give you a datapoint. This has not been the case in our case. We never paid more than what we expected. If you think VPS providers is an alternative to AWS, you have an entirely different use case than ours. For an application wi

Not sure why it has to be without EC2 to be useful. The main benefit is indeed the fact that you can have VMs, queue, load balancers, databases, DNS, cache, etc. all using consistent APIs, etc. You can create dev/test environments that

AWS != EC2. Do not assume that AWS is only used as VMs. It's different for everyone but AWS provides massive savings for many companies. It makes sense for many use cases in addition to elastic workloads.

Promising project but the New relic comparison is misguided. New Relic does have server monitoring but it's core strength is in application layer with agents for java, ruby, .net, python, php applications.

Martin, if what you're saying is true, that's very shady behavior on his part. However, it does not have any impact on what he's saying. Your post seems to say "yes big brands are doing it and can do it because they are

Porting to your infrastructure is not a simple task if you're using AWS services beyond EC2 (DynamoDB, SQS, etc.). And I don't mean this as a criticism of AWS. We're happy users and have no plans to move off. Just don't

Not really what I refer to by robust media. I'd say 200+ private TV stations, hundreds of radio stations, 40+ national daily papers qualify to call it "robust". IMO high number of incarcerated journalists is more reflection on the governmen
