It took me a little bit to figure out how this would integrate with our side, but it looks like it talks to Jabber servers? That's clever. We could integrate that into the backend software directly, or use google talk, as you suggest. How i

I believe it will work on 2G with T-Mobile. I use the 3GS in this capacity frequently.

I was thinking it would be fun, in a somewhat similar vein to Google displaying Search Queries on the wall - http://www.flickr.com/photos/kchrist/21051526/ That said, I agree- Historical Search is a necessary feature for it to be very us

Syslog is cool and all, but this is a nice UI for displaying the logs in the browser, so everyone in the company can watch them, or you can easily open it up on an iPad, and hang it on the wall. Could I use SSH over iTerm, and display multi

The best part of that is where it's placed in the chart- It implies that the users of HN a subset of the overall nutjob population, but one worth addressing at least ;)

The title on Slashdot was "Microsoft Kills Skype For Asterisk", but I thought that was too speculative for HN. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/05/24/2010222/Microsoft-Ki...

Wow, reading through that, and looking at Utropic, it's amazing how similar our projects were. We had many of the same aims, ambitions, problems, and results. I think your analysis of the situation (No Co-Founder, Not fully invested) was tr

I tried the same with a social networking site (Like Reddit/HN) about a year ago. When I asked users to pay even $1 to try it, no one was interested in doing so. http://e1ven.com/2010/09/15/lonava-com-retrospective/

Not really.. Lock picking, particularly home-locks, isn't very hard at all. Many people attend Lock Picking competitions, and it is a somewhat popular geek-sport. I'd much have a 4096-bit public key, than a flimsy piece of metal. See Also:

Interesting platform. For larger projects, I'm less likely to use a eLance/vWorker type service, and more likely to seek people out via their github/twitter/blog directly.. What is the revenue model here? Do you let me search people, and th

Oh, Man, that'll teach me to look more carefully ;) Oops. Thanks for the awesome service. I've used SO for backups on and off, and I appreciate the tech work you do. I particularly like that you do client-side encryption. I just wish your U

Agreed. I like Silicon Mechanics, Also used Avadirect in the past, but they weren't as good. I think the WD's are the way to go. Enterprise-grade drives aren't really much more reliable, and you need to plan capacity assuming they'll fail a

This seems to be a great offering The pricing is not entirely out of line compared with what I can get in-house, and it's a fantastic solution for storing horribly bulk,low-reliability data. $10 / 100GB comes out to .01/GB/Month. That means

I only looked at it briefly, but isn't Swift for multi-system installs, not multi-spindle?

Ah, yes. I remember reading about them now. I'd be interested in looking over their offerings, if they ever release any.

I'd be willing to lose 100TB at once, assuming it wasn't every day. If there were a system where it lost even 20TB/day, I'd be interested, depending on what the tradeoffs were! I'd expect that to be pretty seriously cheap to offset it. That

In my calculations I was doing elsewhere in the thread, I was assuming 1 drive out of 4 would be for redundancy. There's nothing on these drives that's irreplaceable, and we have system-level redundancy.

by e1ven 16y ago
The closest equiv. would be Amazon's EBS, but they're pricing on this is through the roof. Storing 70TB would be 8K/month, without ANY bandwidth fees..

by e1ven 16y ago
Agreed. It'd be faster, but that's not really what we're looking for- We want to get the cost per GB to be as low as humanly possible, while maintaining at least an illusion of reliability.

It's also worth looking at their 72 disk, 2.5" version http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/417/SC417E16-R... Using that, and 72 1TB 2.5" drives, ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136... ) (($109 * 72) /

The Supermicro case is pretty awesome. It looks like it might be a great option- It's almost exactly what I was looking for.. Half a step above custom frames. Thanks! It doesn't feel like 2 years worth of progress, though- The numbers are p

This is also what you see VCs insist on in many cases- So called "Adult Supervision", wherein you might adopt an experienced CEO who knows how to run a company, even if he doesn't have the same drive for this particular idea.
