Look at those prices! I am so thankful for my parents paying an arm and a leg to get me a computer at a young age. I'm guessing the Apple ][ they bought me 30 years ago must have run them a few grand at least.

> Hey, don't go knocking CP+B I worked at Groupon when they did the Superbowl ads for us. Sorry, I'm reserving that right to knock them. I would put a smiley if I could get my head out of my hands right now.

The Seinfeld ad is easy to explain: never hire Crispin, Porter and Bogusky to do your ads. I wish I could find the article right now to substantiate this, but IIRC they have been known make it contractual that you will accept their creati

I was saying that tongue in cheek, but yeah, it will happen. At some point the brainiacs in the war department will realize that you can never find enough soldiers to police everyone -- if they haven't already realized this. The only way to

Humans make mistakes. We should really put that kind of decision making in the hands of an artificial intelligence.

I love Linux, and love Windows too (especially for games). It does make me happy to hear about Linux deployments like this. That said: Everyone who switches one way or the other claims savings . Their breakdown of savings raises questions.

The way I've looked at it is "everyone who wants one seems to be able to get one in a reasonable timeframe." Apple is a master of this. You might not get one on day one, but you'll get yours on day five. That's enough time to inspire people

I blogged about this yesterday. If that's their plan, it helps to occasionally have them in stock. But they've had none in stock, no preorders, nothing, for 10 days now. In fact, it's only been in stock for 30 minutes ever. False scarcity i

Here's my big data trap motto: "a 1% lift of zero is zero". What I mean by that is you can optimize one or several values to death, but if the core product is broken, you'll still lose all of your customers. So while you'll get a 1% lift ov

Yeah it's hard to migrate email given the anti-spam measures ISPs use like IP reputation. Good luck. Maybe a quick migration to Sendgrid for that system? (Edit: or Amazon SES, of course)

From what I'm seeing, if your root disk is on EBS and your SSH keys are there, you cannot SSH into those hosts right now. Also, the availability zones are disparate in terms of what they can support. A great number of my instances are in 1
