   Can anyone recommend a cheap DNS service that does geographic-based load distribution? I know that Route53 offers something like this, but AFAIK it's only designed for products hosted on Amazon's platforms. I've heard that ge

   New vs. returning doesn't actually tell you too much about retention unless the growth rate is close to zero, though? Have I got that wrong?

   I don't know if that's really true. How much can an uncontrolled, unrandomized, unmonitored nutritional experiment really tell us? OK, it can confirm that i) Soylent isn't poisonous, and ii) Soylent isn't the key to ever

   My concern about Soylent has never been about the macronutrient ratios, nor the quantities of (comparatively) well-understood micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. The amounts of these substances seem relatively easy to get right, or a

    I would suggest that you don't call your free users "freeloaders". That's a pejorative term that suggests you're being taken advantage of. You offered your product for free, they took you up on the offer. It's

    That's valid, I haven't thought too hard about pricing yet. At any price, it's extremely unlikely to pay for the time I've put into it ^_^

    This page just underlines my complete mathematical illiteracy. I don't really understand any of it. I would like to get a basic grounding in math, but it seems like so wide a field I have no idea where to start.

    Amazon S3 charges $0.12 per GiB for egress to the Internet. That's $120 per TiB. A $5 DO droplet comes with 1 TiB of upload per month (if they've even started enforcing these caps, which, last time I checked, they hadn't). Ru
