Do people really think AWS got to be a 10 billion dollar business by hosting node.js to garage door opener gateways? When situations like this come up I always suggest people read the history of Western Electric. Talk about scale!

Huh? It's totally transparent AND you can get a better deal if you pick up the phone and negotiate. They'll ask you to sign a commitment and (unenforceable) exclusivity clause. Some people even take that "confidential" o

I don't consider $900/month in bandwidth significant. And I'm sure Amazon account managers don't either -- but it can't hurt to ask, especially if you've got a growth plan that makes sense.

It's not just the Fortune 500. That currently cuts off with United Rentals at #500 with 12,000 employees. Lots of small 50+ employee companies use SharePoint. It often works even better for them: they can solve problems by dumbly pluck

SharePoint lets you glue together a lot of business process with (gasp) paid software. Somewhere in Idaho there's a five person dev shop who's really, really worried about making the tool for production companies that have to deli

Exactly. There's an awkward, obvious shift in the article where it turns an age-old riddle that goes back way farther than 1967 into a rant that covers everything from DRM and jailbreaks and chain of trust to "morally ambiguous&qu

Another option would be to get more scientific knowledge online. When I log into my local library with my library card and do a JSTOR search, the difference between those results and what Google hands back are night and day. "The Inter

The only thing that would do is add the insignificant cost of forming an LLC to the cost of filing a patent. Also patent profiteering is typically based around licensing, not ownership.

The 1989 Loma Prieta quake flattened a similar structure and dozens died horrific deaths. Seattle was content to stare at theirs for nearly 20 years, even after a 2001 earthquake damaged it and the adjoining retaining sea wall. There was no

You can buy a lot of advertising for $100k a day. More importantly, you can stop buying that advertising when the product doesn't catch on. Dorsey pulled the product in 2014 and is still paying close to a Super Bowl spot every month to

The project is a fraction of the complexity of the Boston project. And in the advisory vote, Seattle -- in typical fashion -- rejected both options. So everyone gets the benefit of saying they voted against it.

Jack Dorsey cut a deal with Starbucks that's lost $100k every day for three years -- and gave up equity and a board seat for the privilege.

I'm referring to section 6.1 of the original paper which very much does exist (PDF page 11). Not that the Ruby vs Python detour hasn't been amusing, but my core argument can and should have been better stated as: debug builds are

Unpopular but true fact: SOPA, while clumsy, was to codify and clarify takedown provisions, especially to countries where the US has less political influence. And also to extend DMCA-style protections to payment and ad providers.
