Yep - I agree with you 100%, just pointing out what their page says. I'd love to see B2 get more data centers around the world - when we have to do a 500GB restore on a server in Germany, it's already slow even pulling from S3 -

Out of curiosity how have you found the performance of clustered Minio? I've been checking out Riak S2 but the simplicity of Minio is attractive. Thanks!

Yep just got bit by this as well. We're heavy users of the API and this was a surprise. Would have preferred some notification about the change OR better yet, just create these instances with new plan ID's.

If you have some time and are looking for something easy check out Proxima: https://www.jamroom.net/proxima It's really designed for someone that is not a developer first. I built a MBaaS quite a few years ago, and Pr

Are there plans for providing an API for creating mailboxes/domains? We previously used Mailgun for mailboxes (back when they still provided them) and ever since they discontinued mailbox support we've been looking for a solid ma

I think a lot of people believe (rightly or wrongly) that in a "true" libertarian ideal it is "buyer beware" - the idea that bad companies will go under because people will stop buying their products - however there is c

I'm going to guess that a lot of HN does NOT think it is OK to fire people for their opinions - however if your core beliefs are out of line with a companies beliefs then it just might make you a bad FIT for the company. Not about you

Both parties have been complicit in creating the power structure that enables surveillance - it's certainly is not something new. It has been growing ever since WWII and supported by both parties. Neither party wants to be seen as an

$20 a month for the DO droplet, but out of curiosity what's the monthly bandwidth bill from AWS? That's always the kicker - bandwidth from AWS is not cheap.

Yep - am using one right now and have had no issues. To be honest this is my third battery - the second one I got from Apple only last about 2 years and ended up swelling up to the point the track pad no longer "clicked". Have b

This is a standard way to present price changes. We don't say "the price was multiplied by 1.5" - we just say the price went up 50%. This isn't there to "wow" anything - we should already be wowed by the gree

I actually agree with the original statement. PHP, for quite a few years now certainly has NOT been the language of choice for most startups, yet we still see the majority of them fail. "and miss all of the tremendous losers who picke

Of course they do - this is like Android phones "destroying" the iPhone when it comes to sales volume. For a very large percent of students the Chromebook will work just fine - no need to drop a grand on an entry level Macbook.

There's no money in eating less sugar. These pharmaceutical companies are interested in one thing - making money, and therefore they need everyone to be a "customer" by taking one of their pills every day. This means even if

Absolutely true - however, in a true "apples to apples" comparison, if you're only running a single EC2 instance (for example) and it dies you're offline as well - AWS does not "automatically" have a failover s

Yes - I would assume so since this is a Stripe transfer, which means it is money being moved from your account to another account, so likely you already paid the 2.9% + .30 on the money coming in.

It matters if you have years of documents that you still need to be able to view/edit. Not everyone wants to upload these documents to an online service (i.e. google docs), so having a free option that is not tied into any monthly sub

Really? At least with taxes your money is likely to stay local (whether you agree with how it is spent or not), whereas with a multinational corp like Apple, Tesla or Google your money is just as likely to go somewhere outside the country.

I have an iPhone 64G and iOS 9 runs just fine. In fact it runs so well I've not seen any reason to upgrade.
