Pretty neat that you have Lee Cheng as an advisor, who is hero in the battle against trolls. But from the Bio's, it doesn't look like anyone on the team is a lawyer. What sort of track record do you have invalidating patents?

Congrats! I really enjoy using it to play with JS Do you plan on branching out to other languages with Notebook (Ruby!)? Also any plans to open-source any of your stack? In particular, I would love to have an on-prem version, then I could r

This looks great. I really love tonicdev [1], but I'm reluctant to use it on production data because it's SaaS [2]. If you open-sourced this and I can run it "behind the firewall", that would be awesome. [1] https:&#x2F

That was not what the commentator was referring to; > "It's very productive in terms of getting something up and running." Implying that Twitter reached success under Rails, even if it was _not_ the best fit for the proble

Government - How do we change politics, so it is more engaging, transparent, and driven by the strategic (rather then emotional or tactical) needs of the country. How can technology reach people disenfranchised. How can we slice through the

I would also be curious on the rational of why you stopped using those services.

We heavily use this feature on S3, and I would hope B2 does/will support it

by zdrummond 11y ago
I think it's also important to point out this is cheaper then AWS Glacier. You could think of B2 as pure backup for now, and after tracking metrics expanded it out to more products. I doubt even Backblaze would suggest you make this yo

Except, when I was driving my Tesla Model S down a long stretch of highway, the entire instrument cluster froze. I had to pull off and turn it off and on again; I kid you not. Move fast break things! Hmmmm.

Time to market always matters. If you created the most reliable and solid automatic car; one that never crashed or made any mistake, you would have an amazing product. If you released it today, you would own the car market and you would be

Thanks for some fun data! Two quick things, if you don't mind. Something feels wrong with the data. For example. Q3/12 has abnormal amount of Pushes for all languages. Curious what causes the jump? As someone who is color-blind, I

So did they deliver?

That, and the 0.5% transaction fee are great for the vendor. But why should I, the consumer, be interested?

Great job! My child is going to love this. He spends time just tooling around Google Earth for fun. To be able to create volcanos and shape land is going to delight him. Thanks!

Because knowing about something is not the same as being happy with it. He didn't say, 'Oh my, I had no idea they would break things in a patch release'. What he did say was: 'Ugh.' and I agree with him.

Why charge me for having more hosts? I am used to the reverse. Buy more, save more. IMHO, keep the app and 'hours of retention' limit in. Remove the hosts and user limit (I hate user limits; don't you want more people exposed

I am super happy user of New Relic, but always interested in alternatives. I had never heard of AppNeta, so I checked it out. Looks like you guys have some nice stuff, but do you mind if I give a new customer first impression? Very confusin

Update channels are very hard to secure and is a huge opportunity to take ownership of the software (and from it, the machine). For an example, check out the Defcon 22 talk Hack All the Things[1], page ~61. NTV200-100NAS owned through unsig

If the car had not overheated [1], it might have done it in 9 min.... I am sure this was a P85, which means it's 100k+, roughly the same price as an M5. The current M5 can run the ring in less than 8 min [2], and in far better luxury [

Nice idea, but I actually think Edmund's TCO is a bit more comprehensive and uses real world data for each car. http://www.edmunds.com/porsche/911/2011/tco.html?style=10138...

Spaces control would be great. I rely on SizeUp for that today, but would be nice to have programmatic control.

They don't get access to the 'no strings' super-fund if they take money or favor from other lobbyists. Still not going to solve the revolving door, but might make thing a bit more fair.

I disagree. I think it is clear that this "book" is aiming to be an introduction to Distributed systems. As such, focusing on some models and excluding others does not decrease its value. The real question of value is; does it all

This is a global issue with Windows, not with Visual Studio. If you use these "new" APIs to write above MAX_PATH [1], the file system will obey you, but tons of other tools will not. One of these minor tools is Windows Explorer![2
