It would be nice if were true, but you simply can't, there's no magic that makes an expensive server that much faster - it's just a bit faster for a lot more money. It can make sense if you only want 10x the performance and t

$1,000,000 machines are not that much faster, you won't get 1000x the performance or anywhere near. The memory and IO performance is going to be within a factor 2 or 4 of that high end machine. It might have 50x the cores, but most lik

Requesting the timelines of each of the people you follow is slow process for the client, meaning that the client has to make 100s or even 1000s or requests. Also, much of the data is thrown away because it's replies to people you don&

If they are so easy to copy, why are well all using Instagram and Twitter and not one of the many copies? There's more to a business than the code of its products.

Because Apple said they were doing end-to-end encryption: "For example, conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple

I think to make this stick you need to stop net accumulating stuff, for example: - Have a one-in-one out policy on gadgets, clothes, toys, games etc. - Don't buy DVD/BluRays (only rent or stream), CDs (Spotify/iTunes) or Book

Why are you specifying such a small block size? bs=1M or more is much quicker for that sort of thing

I'm sure they are more interested in who you talk to than what about most of the time. I would assume they want to track people close to persons of interest they know about.

Not sure I understand why we shouldn't have another facebook - sure it's not disruptive anymore - but facebook needs competition and social it is a massive market. I don't hear anyone saying - don't bother making a smartphone unless you are

I'm using SaneBox. I've gone from 20-25 mails a day to 1 or 2, really it saves a lot of time - I just check my @SaneLater box once a day and weed it out - if it should have been in my inbox, I move it to inbox and sanebox learns. I almost n

I think what you're missing is, that facebook is a tool for extraverts - it doesn't matter that people don't have much to talk about - they just want to talk with friends - about anything really. What you are describing is a tool for more i

£26k is low for London but should be fine outside London - I would assume that it would increase to £35k after a year or two if he was staying in London. Most people in the UK don't have health insurance because it's not needed because we h

Isn't this a general problem with the internet? i.e. the authors of content know exactly what everyone is saying about them. This isn't a problem with offline or private discussion because authors have no way of knowing what we said.

Surely this would be the MVP for such an app - he should probably should capture email addresses of interested people though.

Europe isn't all the same. In the U.K. you get various benefits if you are unemployed and that includes accommodation normally - though there is a waiting list (and people with children are top of the list) and job seekers allowance. Health

I'm sure there's something in that they are famous yes, people have some sort of empathy with celebrities because they feel they kind-of know them through films, books and press over the years. It's not quite the same when it's someone you

Yes - but you miss that because it's not normally important - i.e. it's no one you've heard of.

If you're taking pictures of people, you end up having to take dozens and dozens of the same shot because people's expressions change so much. When you get a chance to filter them - it's too late to take the shot again - even if that's just

The Arduino is pretty well known, it's a tell if you somehow have not heard of it - it shows you haven't spent much time looking at side projects.

My thought is, that you'll most likely grow slowly like this at first - it might speed up a lot if you're very lucky. However, I don't see the harm in 'launching' down the line (6 months/year) or re-launching when you've got product/market
