Sure, that's true and I think people who don't pay the taxes that support the firemen should be ashamed of themselves and forced to pay. Similarly, I think firemen should be trained well and paid for the risk they are taking on. That being

In some places, fire protection is apparently up for debate. This family had their house burn down because they failed to pay the $75 tax. It's only fair after all: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/tennessee-family-home-b... I think i

Looks like Jason Hoffman has stepped into the forums to explain the reasoning behind their decision and do some damage control: http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=240955#p240955 They probably should have done that on the original

I was (am?) also a TextDrive VCII customer. I signed up in March of 2005 and had a little home on a server called nelson. If my memory is correct it was around $450 or so and I hemmed and hawed over the decision. I was just getting out of t

If you're consuming an API you use whatever the platform decides on. In that case, this library is helpful. However, I think the real open question is: if you are providing an API, what do you choose?

Pretty cool but another thing missing from this is the dynamic lighting. If you make an enclosed space it's just as bright inside as daylight. The lighting in minecraft is simple but extremely effective. Here's a nice demo/test from Notch f

I was just talking with a friend yesterday about living in Tokyo. A big part of what makes it reasonable is that everything is smaller. The containers of food I buy at the store are smaller and fit in my smaller refrigerator. There's a l

I hope it doesn't come off as too harsh. I mean it in a good-natured way and obviously you're putting forward your ideas which is a good thing. Why do you think the term 'variable' is the source of confusion and 'property' is better? If so,

We've had a few requests in the past for throwing a similar event in Osaka. We've considered doing it but haven't gotten any solid momentum. The meetup we throw in Tokyo is pretty big so it's a fair amount of work to organize. Shoot me an e

As ranebo said, it is more of a social event focused on meeting other people in the tech community. My cofounder Jason and I met though Hacker News here in Tokyo so we figured there would be other people who would want to meet up. We keep i

One could draw a lot of parallels between OpenStack/AWS and Android/iOS development. It is in the best interest of an OpenStack provider to differentiate their offering rather than compete on price through the common platform. Just like how

Reading all of these post-mortems and guides to keeping your servers up and running, it strikes me how much AWS jargon is in there. The fact that so many developers have invested so much time into learning Amazon-specific technologies means

I suspect it's because investors think that one of the few routes to 'exit' a company and cash out your investment just got closed down, at least in the short term. That increases the risk of investing and therefore lowers the valuation.

Another compounding issue is that for years you could use xxxx@gmail.com as a valid apple ID but with the release of iCloud they now force you to create a xxxxx@me.com address for some of the features (although I can't remember which one).
