I own .IO domain and I was able to set it as gccTLD in Google Webmasters Tool for at least last 6 months (but not when I registered it more than 2 years ago). Not to mention my .io domain ranks quite well for my keywords across all national

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that this is not an official announcement from Google. It is merely an updated KB page. Google is treating .io as gccTLD for at least 6 months.

Amazon.com website actually runs on AWS for last 2-3 years.

This is no longer true. I have .IO domain for more than 2 years. 2 years ago, I remember the country for domain on Google Webmaster Tools has been "locked" to Indian Ocean Territory. But at least for last 6 months, I'm now able to change it

I guess Dropbox is not going to be too happy about their key supplier competing with them and doing it at 50% cost.

This is huge. Never heard of Asm.js until now but this is the first time I'm really excited about Javascript. I feel like dropping everything right now and start playing with this.

but that would be another system to maintain. I'm happy to outsource this to MixPanel or some other company. My needs are pretty generic. I appreciate your response though.

MixPanel can do this and they have a free plan. I custom-built my own cohort reports but as number of users grow in my own app, I'm planning to replace it with MixPanel. You don't really want to put stress on your own database servers which

So we have established that NBN Corp will be the same as Telstra Wholesale. The only difference will be that NBN Corp will be owned by government rather than being a public listed company (the question is for how long) Exchanges in some are

Could you please explain how NBN will pay for itself? Not to mention, NBN Corp. will not be any different monopoly from Telstra Wholesale. And regarding speeds, how is NBN going to solve that? Australia doesn't even have enough internationa

Considering how many bitcoins have been stolen due to security issues last 3 years, when it comes to bitcoins, I wouldn't trust anyone but myself.

DynamoDB is very constrained when it comes to features which means 100% compatible alternative can be easily developed on top of other database. So the lock-in is not really a problem.

by lubos 14y ago
I don't find these restrictions limiting at all. I barely ever need more than 1 kB per object. If I need to store more than a few kB, I will put it in S3 and store in DynamoDB just pointer to it. Why would I store unstructured blobs in Dyna

Joel didn't donate anything. Donations are given without return consideration which is hardly the case here since Stackoverflow was his business.

I remember when I installed trial version of FogBugz many many years ago. Not to use it, but just to see what ideas I can take away from it. I was shocked at how bad the software actually was in so many aspects. I was shocked because it was

I hope you are aware Stackoverflow was actually created by Jeff Atwood. Joel just gave the initial idea something along the line like "let's make something like ExpertsExchange but less evil" Not to mention, Stackoverflow was seeded initial

I don't think third-party cookies are such a big deal. It won't stop retargeting (workarounds are possible) so what is it really solving?

Same thoughts here. My parents are simple people. If I would tell them I had less sign-ups this week than last week, they would be pretty devastated. Talking anything more serious is no-go.

I still don't understand how files are "cryptographically safe" on Mega The problem is, somehow they know if two people upload the same file even though this should be impossible if they do bullet proof client-side encryption. This does mak

licensing fees mostly. they have sales of roughly $200 million a year. not sure about profit though but I assume they are profitable and they can get additional funding from stock market by selling some shares.

I confirm all this. Elastic Beanstalk is so good, I don't even touch EC2 anymore. All my webapps are now being deployed through it. It costs more due to fact that each environment needs its own load-balancer even if only one server is invol

even 256 bytes block is big enough to make collisions so rare that it's not even worth. not to mention metadata associated with such a small block would be probably more than the size of the block itself.

I understand this would be possible but then they are essentially lying about their privacy attributes.

they say, all files will be client-side encrypted which won't allow them to "deduplicate" anything.

Aren't we talking a lot about freemium models here? This thing is going to implode, there is no way it will ever break-even. There are three requirements any freemium model needs to meet to be successful. 1.) Large addressable market 2.) Mi
