I received an email from them - the password was included in the email, in plaintext. So I don't know exactly what they mean, but it's at best symmetric encryption.

In the past, when an AZ goes down, everyone tries to transfer to another AZ and makes lots of API calls. Consequently AWS has to rate-limit API requests to avoid taking another AZ down. Maybe this has changed though, but we'll probably have

Switching load or transferring data between a remote DC (your dedicated servers) and AWS is not that easy when you start having large-scale infrastructure though. This is a great idea on paper - but running your baseline infrastructure at y

Programmatic access is a big thing, and is what makes EC2, GCE, Rackspace and friends, different from dedicated hosting. (In the case of AWS / GCE, global availability is something else). Using the Cloud isn't only about instant scaling a

The title used is extremely misleading: CloudStack [1] actually is software that lets one build their own Cloud, but Parse is not using it, they're using AWS. Calling it a "Cloud Stack", and not "Cloudstack", would have probably been more a

I'm not entirely familiar with how go dependencies work, but does using git submodules for the dependencies with go make sense?

I agree that Nginx would be sufficient. However, configuring S3 + CloudFront really isn't that much effort (I'd argue it's even simpler than Nginx). It's not that expensive either! : ) It would probably even be within the free tier if I'm n

Regarding the load time, using static HTML with a site generator would yield great results here. There really is not reason to be using PHP here. A great option is to put it on S3 and distribute it with CloudFront.

Exactly!

There's even a feature where you can post the question and the answer at the same time now I believe!

Even better, using the IP / language settings, they could probably make an educated guess! : )

Thanks for the clarification! Might want to add that to the website somewhere, I wasn't able to find it when looking for it there.

Exactly. Any proper implementation of this kind of security should not depend on the username, this would entirely break the purpose.

In this specific case it wouldn't be very practical as changing the password would mean changing the encryption key to all your files. Hence, rendering all files unreadable. That's why I suggested that a more appropriate application would b

The first part of the article is of unusually low quality for Ars Technica. It seems like the author is trying to bash Mega for being reportedly lazy in their implementation. This really is a shame because the parts regarding entropy, dedup

In that case, you can always opt to return bool(return_value), which lets you return True or False without the ugly if / else : )

Orange does have a strategic position in Africa where Google (for the moment) doesn't. I'm not saying Google needs Orange, but it is indeed a strategic partner. Orange is also an highly trusted ISP in France, and (unlike Free) counts man

Orange has a very strong presence in Africa. It leveraged this presence to have Google pay for their Internet trafic in France and Europe: Orange is pivotal to Google's success in Africa. According to Orange's CEO, Google just can't do wit
