Do you have the numbers to back that up? Your page mentions uploads to S3 - do you do regional matching with appropriate region buckets? I've seen numbers that are sub 1Mbps when you hit the wrong S3 region yet I can reliably hit 900Kbps -

Careful. All you've done is revise it. I could post a link or two that easily reveals it in your git repository revision history (6sus.. and 794e..). Instead, I'll post this link: https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data

To answer you directly - no, you technically don't chat "over someone's WiFi network". If you're thinking TCP/UDP, the ability to see other computers on a LAN segment, access to encrypted data over a WPA2 connection, etc. - that's too many

This is an interesting point ... and I'm not sure the author of the original post understood it to this level. Mister Money Mustache's actual words are: "take your annual spending, and multiply it by somewhere between 20 and 50" (as a basis

There's no reason a third party couldn't host a read-only view into Nightweb, performing something similar to tor2web.org. The third party would be running their own Nightweb client, then visitors to the website would trigger content downlo

Thanks, figured that was the case. Nice take on announce_meta, btw. I had mused over something similar (though not as well fleshed out) to the Nightweb concept but kept bumping my ahead against the notion of how to announce additional conte

From what I read from you elsewhere in these comments, though, subscribing to an RSS feed in Prismatic does not (currently) mean you will see 100% of the content in them - correct? ... If you are indeed changing it to include 100% of the fe
