I'd say Amazon AWS is all about 3rd party services, and their users are doing OK. You can check http://stackshare.io/stacks to see who's using what

Sure, I understand that, yet "everyone" has wifi already, and even in the streets you receive a decent number of wifi signals... There might be a need for longer range IoT comms (in cars, etc) but for urban use, WiFi would be fine

It's sad there's no "Out-Of-Band" WiFi (say 1kB/s unauthenticated WiFi), or is there such a thing in the standard already? Think SMS for WiFi, cheap and very lightweight, yet an immense benefit. It would be easier t

At least in France, it's often said that diesel is cheaper because when the country bet on nuclear power, it had nothing to do with heavier fuels produced in refineries (no oil power plant)... so they lowered the taxes on diesel. They

Can you time the copy again, with an index on the timestamp this time? just out of curiosity. Also, not sure it's wise to build system software (proxy) just to log data instead of using what already exists. Because that proxy you write

Yet your measurement includes no networking, no parsing of statements, no concurrency... Repeat the experiment with 200 different clients hitting the server via networking with 1500 insert statements, each second. Then you can compare MySQL

That still means changing the whole architecture of Facebook, Tweeter and the likes... from a replicated system to a cached geo-centralized system. Also, it doesn't bar the NSA from consulting the information from the USA... which is s

Are you suggesting hosting a web app in the USA and its database in Europe makes no difference? There's also the problem of bandwidth (if you can't cache data locally).

I'm not talking about replication for disaster recovery, but replication to avoid intercontinental round trips. If my actual name is stored in Europe, my US friend must request the data from the USA just to show his friends list on an

There's a huge difference between acquired wealth and inherited wealth. Don't consider luck is the only way to success just because it was yours. Socialism might give you good feelings, but might as well make it harder for those w

Thank you! You got my point.

If it's just a problem with Facebook's contract, all is well. But the article says "Facebook and Twitter [...] could be forced to host European user data in Europe". That's way more agressive than just a contract ch

A reference will not be enough when my friend wants to see my name and photo on the list. And if my friend must fetch it from Europe (and not cache it), expect Facebook to be slower and use more bandwidth than ever. Without intercontinental

Imagine I'm in the EU, and Facebook wants to store my data in the EU. But I'm friend with US people. So I'm in their own friend list too, which is stored in the USA. So my data is needed in the USA too. When I publish somethi

Please tell me how. We can surely debate the technicalities.

you assume the US would be OK with hosting US data in Europe...

_with "the cloud" you have a lot of option (locations) to choose from_ Without replication between locations, you're stuck: replication IS data transfer. With such a ruling, you can't implement an intercontinental social

Edit: I'm reacting to "Facebook and Twitter [...] could be forced to host European user data in Europe" Border control with data is the worst idea ever. Think of it: my Facebook friends lists has EU and US people in it. This

In my opinion, don't involve a tier. You can't report a problem that has no solution: it's nobody's job to change the toxic co-worker. Go talk to him, tell him how he makes you feel (not "you do this, you do that&qu

I need a nice mobile app to share pronunciation of words in various languages. Ask for the exact pronunciation of a word in a foreign language, provide the pronunciation of a word in your native tongue. Build the knowledge base on the go.

So a "lucky" guy benefits from "society's success"? Is it really how you see things? That's the very definition of envy to me.

Nobody can imagine tolerance to bombing... but you can imagine tolerance to sexting. These cases are radically different. In the case of the clock, the "Justice" was not involved, there was no accusation.

I was feeling the same before I left France: not in the right country. And the article doesn't mention how stupid it is to use a 80's era ad to portray France's innovative mind set... or is it? Also "reviens Leon" i

We've never really had a problem... Our sinopia npm server is probably isolating some network problems, plus we don't start/update servers that often. Our NPM workflow also ensures builds are easy to replicate. Most problems

I think the npm project should document best practices, like when to use "*" version, when to use npm-shrinkwrap, etc... to limit problems. NPM is a very powerful tool. In fact, it's our deploy tool: we run `npm install` on s
