Had to happen one day. Is it a good idea for companies to try to use their abundant spare CPU capacity for mining? If there is an intelligent client that does not impact the existing operations of a server but can run on lower priority then

Liked this line from the blog - Some employees are busy figuring out ways to impress their female colleagues using the resources provided by the organization rather than learning and solving problems in a better way. So these companies are

If Amazon succeeds with this now then this will be a really good example to disprove the concept of the first mover (or maybe in this case hundredth mover) advantage forever.

This being USA, can the thief sue this guy for violating his privacy? Is the violation of privacy for those 3-4 individuals for a month less valuable than the price of Macbook in the eyes of law?

Hopfully you will be able to bring it back soon. SearchYC.com is the best way to search the treasure trove that HN has become.

Coincidentally I was watching this video from Google I/O yesterday where someone asked Joe Kraus a very similar question and his answer was a clear no. http://ontwik.com/startup/how-to-get-your-startup-idea-funde...

What about your loyal users? Are they supposed to fend for themselves now? These types of exits create bad precedents for other startups and will make customers wary of using services from the newer companies. How about open sourcing some o

That would have been so cool. Now thats a movie I want to see.

I agree that Google is within its right to deny them lunch, shuttle services or whatever fancy perks they dish out to their regular employees. But what I can't understand is the discrimination that Google is perpetrating against them by den

Lots of people are commenting that maybe the yellow badges might be working on something secretive that Google does not want them to share with others. But this does not make sense for 2 reasons - 1) I am pretty sure there will be some soft

by g123g 15y ago
But then how do you explain the overreaction from Google which led to the firing of this guy. There has to be something which Google was trying desperately to keep secret.

Wow. This sounds like some kind of sweatshop operating within the Google campus and they are afraid of this getting exposed. Still not able to reconcile the public image of Google and what is described in this post.

In a way this outage can turn out financially positive for Amazon as more and more customers will start using multiple regions instead of just one region. In addition to multiple instances that customers will need to bring up, they will be

Agreed. It has actually given a very nice excuse to developers like me. Whenever your manager comes up to find why something that you are working on is not up, you can simply reply with something like this - If AWS with some of the smartest

My gripe was with the article and not with what greplin is doing. Details like what you have mentioned in point 1 would have made the article much more useful rather than multiplying some random number from 1998 and expecting the readers to

Cool. I have snagged one of the invite codes. Look forward to learning more about these features when you are done.

Big Deal? With cloud providers like Amazon providing computing power on the pay as you go basis I am not sure why this is a news now days. Some ridiculous comparisons are thrown about in the article - same size as Google’s web-wide index in

This entry in their FAQ after the April 21st outage brought a chuckle- Where is DotCloud hosted? DotCloud runs on Amazon EC2. More specifically, we run on the us-east-1 region, across multiple availability zones.

This looks like a very popular new business model for the startups. Take any existing or upcoming langugage/framework like php, RoR, django, node.js etc. etc. and start creating a dedicated hosted platform for that a la Heroku. And start co

xPhone would have been nice, reminding people that they also created something as cutting edge as XBox which gave Sony and Nintendo a serious run for their money.

They react fast only in such useless matters. For real problems like corruption, infrastructure, pollution and population they don't have any time.

What about the spammers or weirdos sending their images to an unsuspecting crowd. I will be wary of seeing photos shared by unknown people in a public and crowded place like Times Square. And what about children using this app? Can they wat

The premise is that we will be so busy looking at all these cool mobile apps on our phones that we do not even see what is going around us. The only way to find that out is using Colors!

Yes, would definitely be interesting to find out how they maintain the quality and release so often. Would be a good data point to see if they use any of the agile processes and any tweaks they have done to make it work for them.

So what is THE advantage of using dotcloud over my own AWS account where I can configure my servers using libraries like boto or Chef. Using AWS I can go for Elastic BeanStalk or do the complete configuration myself. Not able to see what is

by g123g 16y ago
Cool, thanks a lot for sharing. Your post has given me the motivation to start learning Chef. Maybe you can blog about it somewhere to help wanna be cloud programmers like me.

If you look at, http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/ Then it is almost one significant announcement per week.

by g123g 16y ago
Can you share some example of how you are using them together. I am currently using Python scripts with boto to bring up the instances and doing all kinds of configuration stuff on them. Just wanted to see if there is any better way of doin

So it was good that I didn't spend time learning chef/puppet or going with RightScale till now?
