This is a very good question. I wrote an answer in another thread on this topic which illustrates a use-case you might find interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15512116

I'm investigating this at my company so I can share a couple of ideas. Our system is used by a series of companies to manage the performance of their supply chain (keeping this very vague to avoid breaching NDAs). We generate reports w

I've never experienced an issue with e-mail going to spam. You might want to look at debugging it [0], to see if it's really SES's fault. It's possible your outbound domain has a reputation issue, but I have no idea how

Very good point! I guess the cheapest way to do that on AWS would be with a Lambda function. Or perhaps he already has his own web infrastructure not on AWS that contains the list.

I personally only ever used SES for forgot password notifications. My mailing list is really small right now but if I had large lists I'd probably run it myself using SES and pay for a private outbound IP. The costs aren't outrage

If the author is using a micro instance in the first year, there is no charge [0]. Also, the author only needs to start the instance when he needs it, so the costs would be minimal. Furthermore, only transfer out of AWS is billed; there&#x2

Indeed. However it seems likely to me that an attack could be resolved with a software update as the decision to unlock is performed entirely by software (as far as I can tell). It's a bit harder to upgrade your front door lock in this

This seems like the sort of video that'd get reposted a lot, I think the author just wants recognition for their work.

I don't know about now but Hailo (now MyTaxi) certainly used to do regular cars as well as black cabs. You could book them ahead of time and they were quite a good service. In the early days they were a lot better than Uber, which was

That's how I read it.

This has happened to me before. I wrote to Uber's support and they recalculated the correct route and refunded me the difference. Did you try that? This sort of thing happens with black cabs outside airports from time to time but with

Thanks, I hadn't heard of that firm. Looks like I might be needing it.

by gtsteve 9y ago
Anecdotally, my friends do as well. I used to take public transport but at the end of a night out, a cab is a lot nicer so long as it's within my price comfort point. A black cab isn't really in that comfort zone for me.

There's MyTaxi, Gett and Addison Lee has an app. I used to use Hailo before it became MyTaxi. It's certainly not as cost-effective but what I did like were the flat-rate rides you could get. They weren't black cabs, but more

You make a good point, although I was exclusively referring to front-end JS frameworks. Of course you'd want to update Spring, .NET and whatever else you're using due to vulnerabilities. But to the point you were making - it'

Is React still "in"? I thought the recent BSD+Patents furore had made it uncool, but perhaps this doesn't bother developers as much as I originally thought.
349.
by gtsteve 9y ago
I don't think there's that big a problem with how many front-end frameworks there are, and the pace of development. I think the problem is people who feel they have to use the latest and greatest feature and they have to know all

It's not just Facebook - I've heard of other M&A teams working in a similar way. If you're considerably further ahead than them then they'll buy your company, otherwise they'll go for a clone strategy instead. S

Gandi has an API. Furthermore, AWS uses Gandi for some of its TLD domain name registration so I feel that it's a pretty safe choice - I can only imagine that AWS has a tough due diligence process. I've used Gandi before and I reco

My company (and my last one also) uses SES. It's got both a REST API and SMTP endpoint, so for most apps all you need to do is reconfigure the settings. If you already have EC2 instances, the free tier of 62,000 messages should be comf

To be honest, I'd just never heard of this. I'm excited to hear they've got a Dubai datacenter because every now and again my company is asked about starting an instance of our app over there. I've done lots of searching

I understand some people prefer Paypal because Paypal can assist with disputes, i.e. if something doesn't show up. At least that's why some of my friends prefer to use it. However Amazon has always resolved problems to my satisfac

I should hope that they can just reimage the workstations and if network drives were affected, just restore from shadow copy or backups.

I think they are talking about any situation where a smaller business is sued by a larger one; the larger party doesn't have to be right, they just need to have enough funds to stalemate the smaller party until they get driven out of b
