I think with this initial pool of already signed-up users, Red effectively skips the first stage of user attraction. I am not familiar how accounting works for this, but Red would have a pool of revenue to distribute to from very early on,

Forget about the US only thing...Cann't argue with that really.

So more ads, you mean?

If youtube fails to monetize, I think any sane VCs should avoid dumping any money into this area, period.

by eva1984 11y ago
Remember Youtube's object is not to get rid of ALL ad-blockers, it is make the use of ad-blockers really uncomfortable for the MAJORITY of the internet users.

I think youtube gaming is decent, why do you think it is screwed up?
428.
by eva1984 11y ago
Not really. Advertising as a way of monetization might be easy to understand, but harder to actually implement and sustain. It is not like 'just put ads on it', then money will flow by itself. It will take some non-trivial efforts

Instagram is pretty close to be their competitor.

Oh, that actually makes more sense...

Until they succeeds to persuade AWS/GCE/Azure to sell ARM backed instances, they will be taken seriously.

Why this is an innovation though? Just because they have fewer engineers to repeat the work that has been done by so many other companies?

Instagram is pretty trivial: ads. AFAIK, their user base is largely female, and this catalog of inventory is very much desired by advertisers. In terms of Whatsapp, micro-transaction maybe? That I am not quite sure, it is not going to be as

They are running out of ideas. The peace prize has drifted too far to be taken seriously, a perfect example to hijack then abuse the influence, and finally lose it.

They discovered that SOA is the remedy, and will begin to use Thrift, well in later half of 2015.

But the reason is nobody is seriously using Bing search in China. After they got the laptop, they will change it to Baidu themselves anyway.

Pretty much Apple pays a deal to Wired for this exclusive treatment. But why Wired tries to show an empty article that humiliates everyone else is beyond me.
438.
by eva1984 11y ago
Wow, obvious Apple is no angel to everyone. But this is hardly new. I believe a lot of magazines released their article in print first then in their web edition for a wider public access. Only thing that is wrong here is this offensive remi

Go to twitter, they are not on AWS.

I am not that optimistic on that front. Several things that might happen: 1.Use data mining or machine learning, I believe, the big networks will find ways to distinguish whether a user has enabled ad blockers or not, using only the data th

The war of ad-blockers and anti-ad-blockers will be ugly, I suppose. Say, if Youtube is going to enforce anti-ad-blocking across the site, and I believe the could do that-their Chinese copycat, Youku, has already done this long time ago, wi

Or it could be just telling the truth.

Really? I thought they shutdown their last home-made datacenter just recently. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/netfli...

Nice writeup. Complex protocol like this always makes me wonder, how do people even test it?

Sadly, that is how I read this memo too.

What is the last time that AWS gets two consecutive major outages within, maybe, 30 days?

But it is reach we are talking about here. I am from China, so I understand how crazy Single's Day is and what an amazing job Alibaba has done to handle that amount traffic. However, the overwhelming majority of Alibaba's customer

But arguably, Alibaba doesn't yet have a global audience as Amazon does, IMO.

1B dollars for cloud business doesn't sound like a lot to me. In order to compete with Amazon/Google/MS they need to build data centers across the globe. And consider that, unlike its competitors whose cloud service benefit f
