Just to make sure I'm reading this right, the upfront reservation fees are higher, but the reserved hourly rates dropped a good bit. It's cheaper over the duration of the reservation, but you owe more of the term upfront. Given th

You can do that easily yourself with EC2. Windows requires a little more hand-holding on their part on AWS.

DO is a completely different service. It's Apples to Oranges. You don't go with GC or AWS just for a bare-bones VM, you use them if you already use (or want to use) their greater portfolio of services. If you are just using EC2 or

I don't like having to commit to an entire year, but reserving that m3.medium brings the price down considerably. Hopefully AWS will take a look at Google's automatic cuts and think long and hard about it. We're using AWS, bu

Pathwright just uses Stripe Connect. As pc mentioned, this lets them handle their own refunds and get their hands on their data. It's worked well so far!

Best I've seen is 100% for the first 4%, then 50% for the next 4% (8%). Not quite the same, but I guess close enough.

As long as they got a few pieces of me in there, I'm cool with that. Maybe the best way to look at this is "Turn yourself and a bunch of other nice dead people into a tree".

I love it, personally. Elected officials should be dragged over coals publicly for crap like the bridge closure AND this sneaky legislative practice he used to get the anti-Tesla laws in.

As a consumer who may consider a Tesla in the future, I like and appreciate this dig. Christie did something underhanded again, let's bring it up to strengthen Tesla's claim that something fishy happened.

It's still less than $9/month over the course of a year. It's approximately a $2/month increase. Skipping one Starbucks coffee would cover the cost difference for almost two months. We frequently order from Amazon and us

As a user and a consumer, I don't care about average spend per platform. I just want a solid phone that will work reliably and stay out of my way. Market share, profit margins, market cap don't matter at all to me. I just want a d

I haven't, but if it has most of the things I mentioned as things I liked, it'd likely be a capable substitution (for me). Dart is good enough for me, though. I really like their approach as a whole.

I don't really care about ES6 or ES7. The point of my comment wasn't to compare anything. I (subjectively) liked working with Dart. I did like the "batteries included" approach of Dart vs JS, but that's not really a

Yeah, they've got a whole lot crammed in there. I remember this being something a lot of people were complaining about when the PSF asked for feedback a number of months ago. I guess that got ignored. The bottom of the page is pretty w

That sounds like regulation, to me.

If internet service were a luxury product, I'd agree. However, an internet connection is every bit as important as having a phone (land or cell) these days. Assuming we completely de-regulate, you'd still have municipal government

There are upcoming ARMv8 cores that are 64-bit. I doubt we'll see Go as a fully "endorsed" Android language any time soon, but by the time it potentially happens, 64-bit ARM may be ubiquitous.

My understanding is/was that they'll get around to it eventually, but they're not in a hurry to rush it and stink it up. I haven't missed them too much in my tinkerings.

The combination of NaCl support and Objective C linking support make me wonder whether we will see Go creep towards being an officially "blessed" and privileged language (like Java and C+NDK) for Android development in the future.
