You will definitely have downtime due to hardware issues with AWS as well, and every other host out there... Maybe it would be better to spend the time you were going to spend switching to AWS investigating a load balancing setup and other

Despite all the controversy, soylent did show there is a market for this. If MealSquare can actually deliver to early adopters in a timely fashion, I'd imagine they could capture a lot of the Soylent market... Looking forward to the c

Autoscaling groups with ansible-pull + cloud init to configure instances as they are spun up by AWS is what I've had the most success with. So your autoscaling group spins up a new instance using a prebaked AMI, and on first boot clou

Big thumbs up for ansible, I have had great results with it it in a number of different production environments, I think the docs are great, and the devs in the irc channel on freenode are very helpful. If you are about to embark on the jou

Unfortunately, I don't think the 'Nobody is going to die' statement holds up for software like cryptocat. If it is promoted as secure, then it could be used in areas with hostile regimes. For example, members of the Arab Sp

This was definitely my biggest scaling painpoint. I used meteor for an app that throws a lot of data points at the client (interactive realtime timeseries data) and it required trying a few different approaches until I was happy with the a

So unlike cryptocat this is still going client <--> server <--> other clients right? Therefore am I correct in thinking Tesla is still open to the same lavabit issue where the gov't sends a national security letter and Tesl

It was fun developing the MVP for https://lawyermatch.me on top of Meteor. Would I recommend meteor in its current form (v0.6.5 or so) for a large production website? No, but neither do the core meteor devs. Would I use it ag

I was in the same position not too long ago. While I don't think I can make any real recommendations because I don't know your specific requirements, I highly suggest checking out Hetzner and OVH dedicated servers. I found that

I like what they are attempting to do, but without any validation that what Privat claims is true (no logs, encrypted info, etc), isn't it possible this is just some honeypot and all your data is vulnerable?

Currently using Meteor for my startup, I foresee scalability issues down the line (which the meteor devs are currently working on) but for cranking out a MVP its a pretty nice framework.

From reading the other comments on here it seems like that option is broken because push doesn't work correctly with the iOS mail app? I'm just wondering if Mailbox's push works correctly, like the gmail app's push.

Does this affect Mailbox users? I've only started using mailbox but I love it so far, and it let's me combine 2 gmail accounts into one app (which I think you can't do in the iOS gmail app?).
