Ok, using the "Heroku for x" analogy worked when x was another programming language. How is this service in any way similar to Heroku? I've read the article, seems like an interesting idea, but I just can't see where the comparison comes fr

What's the RAID config of these boxes? 45 drives, 4 controllers, and a 16TB volume limitation from ext4. Please share if you know! --edit-- I know it's RAID6 from the article. What I'm wondering is, how many drives in an array? How many a

This is one of the best infographics I can remember. Really puts a lot of things in perspective that I had forgotten about from the 1999 bubble. CueCat?? AllAdvantage??? Doesn't even compare.

Agreed, not much to look at here. I would also be interested in hearing why they decided to roll their own platform instead of using a PaaS, given the small team size.

The government doesn't have to create these monopolies. Utility (i.e. telecom) companies naturally tend towards a monopoly because of the absurdly high cost of rolling out duplicate infrastructure. Usually the first mover is able to fend of

It's not about an assumption of corruption. It's about the fact that the FBI took something which they had absolutely no right to take. Whether or not they looked at or did anything with the data on his servers is irrelevant to the fact tha
