to be fair the original pricing for app engine was for a google product that was in early beta. Google Docs has been out of beta for a long time, and their storage prices have decreased since they were first released. In addition they have

i for one am tired of the hourly model. set a price whatever it may be. If you go low, you'll charge more the next time. if you go high, people will go to someone else.

dont forget parallel is much larger than cuda, gpu's just happen to be largely parallelizable chips. If your really basic, play around with java and get a feeling for threads and synchronous, maybe write a map/reduce program or 2 and run it

you can use selective sync

in addition as time progresses the cost of storage has gone down and can be expected to continue to do so.

had a great time, only comment though is, while I figured it out, it might have made sense to tell people what the color codes on the name tags meant.

you are right, my bad i missed that. Even so, my original comment is still relevant when you look at how google eventually realized their own product wouldn't catch up to a startup's, and bought them out.

in the dropbox forums company representatives constantly comment that lower price plans are not feasible. That said, I've always been disappointed by companies that make you buy buckets of units (like postpaid cellphone plans) that they kno

I highly doubt it. What i meant was that google videos failed. Google bought youtube for its community, not for its backend. This is not relevant with regard to dropbox, as file sync is a technical problem and google is fully capable of pro

if its a desktop program like dropbox with a synced folder, you can write a script to place the gzip in the synced folder, and then it will sync automatically

u can encrypt any file you upload to google docs or dropbox, though i know thats not what you mean :) that said, does any one know if google docs deduplicates?

i remember hearing the same argument when google made google videos to compete with youtube, and we all know how that ended. That said, there were social and community aspects there that don't apply here, and google's cheaper storage prices

paypal used to until around a year ago when Amex forced them to stop. that said i'm a fan of what you guys do

by esutton 15y ago
one of the big things that helped propel paypal and square is the blended rate. Not finding a way to include amex in your single rate is a mistake.

basically the argument is that this is an encryption algorithm that is deterministic as there is no randomness, after the initial value. This sounds more like a Random Oracle, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_oracle . which by the way d

is it evil that google only advertises its own products on its homepage? The idea that google on occasion expends efforts to keep people in their ecosystem, whether its what happened on the Russian chrome, or the way they use the android ma

actually it should be close to nothing, encrypted data cannot be compressed as it is supposed to be uniformly random. If it can be compressed, the encryption algorithm is weak. also on stage at tech crunch disrupt the founders were talking

before i would even think of touching this i'd need to know what sort of permissions im giving this app. And secondly, you care about stats on links that you intend to leave up for a long time as well as give to a lot of people. Im not sure

so how is it getting around the double NAT problem? Are users acting as bridges (like Skype super nodes) or is it going though aerofs's servers?
