Marginally cheaper than Twilio for USA: $0.00645 vs. $0.0075 Much more expensive in Europe (e.g. major networks in Poland Twilio $0.03467, AWS $0.03897 - 0.07711) https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing http://aw

I don't have a crystal ball. However, it would be more useful if more stock indexes would be considered than just one S&P 500. E.g. Dow Jones: http://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historica... Al

I don't think it is fair to say that next 100 years will be same as last 100 years: 1. GDP growth is not as high as it used to be anywhere in developed world: http://www.oecd.org/std/productivity-stats/oecd-co

You don't pay extra for IO on EFS and some types of EBS (like mentioned here gp2). However, for some applications you optimize your storage to get most IO per $. In that terms EFS comes with some IO capacity as well as EBS. The point i

Price is a bit high $0.3 GB / month vs. $0.1 GB / month for SSD EBS and even less for local storage. S3 is even cheaper $0.03 GB / month. So EFS is 10 times more expensive than S3. On I/O front also EBS (gp2) and (st1) a

Would adding some tiny random size help? Based on my poorly understanding, if after compress, but before encrypt we add random 0 to 16 bytes or 1% of size that could defeat quite a lot of attacks (like CRIME).

It is surprise to me, that though a lot of technologies seem to make location less important (internet, video conferences, online stores, better transportation), ppl ten to cluster around few hub cities. Importance of network effect is incr

In a place in which you live right now? I don't think there is universal answer. It depends a lot on your personal situation (connections/resources available/citizenship/lifestyle preferences).

What if Earth will be warming faster than we have predicted. Time to prepare time B with some geoengineering? At least fund research to have some plan and prototypes. Maybe that should have priority over article citing business :-P.

File storage and sync market get commoditized. E.g. for Dropbox pro with 1 TB $99/year + taxes. So this is roughly 20 times cheaper.

Uber can kill whole delivery company segment. Clients would go where delivery is the fastest/cheapest. More volume, gives more efficiency.

It can be some nice fuzzy algorithm with learning capabilities. E.g. if you change background, but button is in same place, you can just update the test.

Great project, but it hasn't changed since 2010? Maybe we should add it to the title? I was hoping that image based testing would eventually overtake Selenium/Appium for web/mobile testing. In principle there are several adva

Distributed testing is very important, but based on article doesn't get as much papers on it. Some plausible explanation: 1. Making things that actual work is industry, which writes very few papers comparing to academia. Academia cares

Yes you can do it with Selenium (I mean that in point 2), but IMO it is hard to setup and resource consuming. E.g. You need separate VM or Docket to have browser with virtual frame buffer. Using Web Driver also got a steep learning curve. W

That would be so awesome. The current alternatives: 1. Use PhantomJS: It easy to script, but it lags over real browser by few years and development is stagnant. Many real website doesn't work in PhantomJS. 2. Use Chrome/Firefox xv

With Moore's law slowing down, semiconductors can get commoditized. It happened with DRAM business in 1980s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#From_DRAM_to_microproces... Maybe CPU margins are going to drop too?

In case of Poland it helps that algorithm competitions are popular in high school. Each year top winners get a free pass to entry any CS university. So if you SAT style exams are not your thing there is an alternative way.

Politician speaches has usually little to no impact on dayily life habbits. What can help is the policies. E.g. Higher gas tax, denser cities with better public transport, higher taxes on cars...

What if there was a version an offensive version of AdBlocker? Instead of just hiding ads it would simulate clicks based on your individual preferences. E.g. hit insurance company that is not paying for their claims.
