I took Matt Walker's class on sleep at UC Berkeley (Psych 133) and it was fascinating. Short-term effects of a lack of sleep are easily observable, and I'm sure we can all relate from personal experience. However, long-term effect

This is a great summary. I considered Twisted prior to running into some of the issues you've described, and the complexity of the framework. I ended up using gevent and have been happy its monkey-patching of the socket and related lib

ZNGA's market cap was 10x in 2012, when they bought the location for the 340/sq foot mentioned in the article. They occupied 65% of the building, which is a good capacity to be at if you're planning on growing. Regarding buy

While I agree that the tokens must be expired on logout, it's hard to gain access to the token via MITM because the API requests are performed over TLS [0]! This point seems glossed over in the post. You would need access to a client a

The visuals aren't 3D. The OP's mirrors AWS' own architecture diagrams in their guides and case studies. It's unfortunate CloudFormations Designer doesn't create visuals like the ones AWS' own designers use.
