Personally, I use Google Docs every day, and I back up all of my docs on a regular basis (easy to do). Same with my GMail: use POP3 to keep a backup copy locally.

I would not consider running my own services and not back up my data. If you use GMail and/or Docs for free or as a paid customer, still, why would you not make local backups?
I've seen literally dozens of unresponsive and defective EC2 instances over the last year. This was spawning 100s of medium and large instances per day, with an average instance lifetime of around 3 hours.

From what I've read during my usage of AWS over the last couple of years, this is more the norm than the exception.

"...called Extreme 105. The name (which sounds a little like a radio station) comes from its ability to reach speeds of 105 megabits per second." ... "$105 for the Extreme plan, an introductory price that also requires the customer to have a bundle of television and phone service from Comcast"

105 USD/month sounds to me like an extreme price for the Extreme 105. And adding television and phone (?) to justify aligning the 105 Mbits/s with 105 USD/month isn't funny IMHO.
As the author of Paraglide and Paragon, I thought I'd post here. I knew SeoxyS was writing a blog post that may have included Paraglide, but I didn't know when he would publish it. I'm glad that he did, but had I known when, I may have whipped up a simple homepage, did a little bit more polishing, and created some basic documentation. I wasn't quite ready yet to release this to the wild for mass consumption. It's in the cards, but I just didn't expect to push it publicly for a little while longer.

Thanks to everyone who followed the github project, and whoever had nice comments to say. For anybody that has criticism of the projects, I'm happy to address them in a separate thread when I officially release the project publicly. I'll make a post here when I'm ready and have proper documentation. Please expect more updates in the very near future, and thanks for the interest.

Yes, that would be the easier route to take for a large company with pockets as deep as Google's.

I think this move is smarter than that though. Google has a knack for picking fights that not only help their own immediate cause (landing this govt. deal) but also aim for the greater good (fighting corruption, ensuring the better technology wins.)

Whether it's genuine or just a show is impossible to tell, but if you don't have a vested interest in either side then you can't help but root for Google.

This study was sponsored by Rackspace. It is based entirely on 2 benchmarks - iozone and linux kernel compilation time.... not exactly a thorough study. It also only tests m1 instances and ephemeral storage. Not a great study imo.

How many of those attacks came through Javascript, though?

The majority of the opportunistic drive-by web malware seems to depend on script. Sometimes the vulnerability is in the Javascript interpreter itself, sometimes the attacker wants to lightly obfuscate web sites and payloads from scanners, and sometimes it seems the malware authors are just lousy web designers using script gratuitously.

If you also eliminate Adobe products from your attack surface, you've bypassed a huge percentage of web malware.

Of course if you're the subject of a targeted attack then all bets are off.

It would be interesting if there were a public resource that keeps track of attack vectors, so we could accurately assess the risks.

There are many, but for specific bugs they try to agree on at least the central "CVE" number:

Sure, that's why I said only 2 of the 5 ads were things for sale; the others were to things like blog posts. I do realize that I'm in the minority; I only follow about a little over a hundred users. I personally know maybe 70% of them.

I suppose his point stands he is talking about the bigger picture and Twitter in general; I'm just pointing out that if you take some care to curate your followers list it doesn't have to be that way for you.

While you can get a lot out of "optimizing" your Adsense placement, it usually requires having at least some traction. I'm guessing your audience is pretty geek oriented with this clickthrough rate. I had success going beyond 10-20% CTR on general search traffic but with geeks? Hideous CTRs :-)

An option might be affiliate schemes. Not necessarily just Amazon, but specific products related to your topic area. I've had quite a bit of success with this in the Ruby space (though there are hardly any products to promote - the biggest problem). Job ads can also be a big deal if you can provide the traffic and the right demographic. I've made both of these areas work well.
If the Indonesian volcano reduced the human population to 1000-10000 breeding pairs, would it not also have reduced the chimpanzee population similarly?

It's an interesting hypothesis, but similar to the idea that the Yacutan asteroid wiped out the dinosaur population. If that were the case, how did other species survive?

Look, just like phone, water and electricity, broadband is a natural monopoly, at least until peer-to-peer access becomes a reality. Not many people complain about the city running water servives because often it is just more effecient. Broadband is no different. The only" scary" thing is that thecity might screw it up. And while that is a possibility, at least you as a citizen can directly participate in how the tech is rolled out and indirectly participate by voting. OTOH, good luck convincing your cable provider that last mile fiber is a good idea.

I will (and actually did) gladly pay $5 for software that is designed well and works very well.
> but I can almost guarantee you that it will have more bugs than any of the larger, open source frameworks out there.

I think you can definitely guarantee it :). Before stopping dev work on Uno I ran into plenty of bugs that I didn't anticipate that would have been quickly weeded out by a bigger community. Many times I realized, "oh, this is why all the frameworks do it that way", only after doing things a way I thought was "simpler".

> "If you know LANGUAGE well, it's almost as efficient--possibly moreso--to program your own minimal ARCHITECTURE framework. LANGUAGE has so much of what you need done for you that only an efficient IMPORTANT_DETAIL is a bit tricky."

Good point. I do think PHP is a bit unique though in the respect that many people argue that PHP itself is a framework/architecure for web apps. But I largely agree with everything you've said.

You also have the option to use ephemeral storage if you prefer not to deal with EBS. All instances provide ephemeral storage with the exception of t1.micro.
It's a fairly specific case, yeah. We've automated image construction, but it's still a PITA compared to just spinning up a new instance.

That said, there are always bigger fish to fry.
There aren't many stories like that around, because it's so easy to experiment. If you put $20 or $100 or whatever in and it doesn't work for you then you just stop your campaign. It's hardly a horror story.

The closest I've ever seen to a horror story was someone who wrote a piece about how Pepsi's loss in market share proves social media doesn't work [1]. That's a pretty controversial view, though [2]. In any case, a branding campaign in social media isn't the typical ad buy that most people on HN would be considering.

In my (very limited) experience, Facebook advertising is pretty cost effective though, especially if you ar smart about your targeting.

Microsoft 70-181 Exam 70-181 dumps 70-181 Testing Engine - Test4pass
RIM is not a credible player in this market based on my reading of this review. They are a year plus behind, yet they all but promise that there will be multiple form factors (and therefore screen sizes) for PlayBooks. Have they thought through what that means? More developer complexity. Or some disgusting, fugly AWT-like layout manager hell. If there's some enormous development matrix that publishers need to deal with in order to get their products working with a maybe number three player, RIM is doomed. Seriously, I don't think anyone there understands how to launch or grow a platform or do quality product management, which often requires making tough choices and sticking with them. E.g. three sets of APIs, recall... (Android support for app "tonnage".)
Choosing Windows on either Amazon or Rackspace adds quite a bit to the cost, and it rules out using the very cheap instances (micro and what not).

> Regardless, a framework is a way to jump-start someone in developing for a given language.

I tend to disagree. As a PHP developer, and in charge of hiring and interviewing other PHP developer, I all too often see what I refer to as "CakePHP developers" or "CodeIgniter developers". It's one thing to know how to use the various frameworks, and even have a personal preference - but when too many people are only aware how to accomplish things using one of those frameworks, it gets downright scary. It's almost as infuriating as getting code samples that are basic extensions of Zend classes...

In the end I want a developer to get their work done - and if a framework helps - great - but they also need to know their way around the language without needing that crutch.

You're missing the point. The problem is not that the service is free (especially since as a free service, Google's uptime probably leaves all their competitors in the dust).

Realtors can and do handle price reductions by delisting and relisting the property. This hides the ask price drop, and zeroes the days on market, to the advantage of sellers and realtors.

That seems a little harsh without any specifics.
One thing to note in my experience with Mongo vs Memcached for certain tasks. Back in the day we used to use MySQL as a shared session storage for load balanced web servers - this is obviously something from the past and since then we moved it to Memcached. Once we started implementing Mongo, it seemed to make perfect sense to just use Mongo instead of Memcached to store that information - but to my surprise (and I love Mongo), Memcache outperformed Mongo as far as overhead and latency goes for managing the sessions. We now keep all session management in Memcached at all times and Mongo for everything else.

S3 + CloudFront (CDN). S3 is super easy to deal with programmatically and if you ever need to do batch operations from a GUI, there are "FTP" clients that can connect to S3.

My suggestion would be to re-orient your focus.

Think about other groups of people that would find value in your product, that such added value would be worth paying for. Maybe your main focus is consumers, but the people who would find your product (or something made with your product) worth paying for are the B2B type customers. Maybe the opposite is true. Maybe you're leaving out a demographic that isn't the first thought, but they're the ones who will go bonkers and become the evangelists for your product.

Go back to the drawing board and think about new ways to use your product, new ways to market your product, new groups of people to market it to, etc. Don't turn the initial letdown of Adsense failing into a failure for the whole project.

One thing that isn't clear in this article is whether they really teleportated it, meaning that they were able to transfer information instantaneously from point A to point B (which would go against Einstein's relativity law that states that nothing can go faster than the speed of light), or if they just transported a light beam from one point to another with regular means of communication.

It sounds more like it's the later case, and the word "teleportation" here is probably more a link bait than anything else.

And in any case, the title in the article is horrible: "Scientists teleport Schrodinger's cat"
Popularity != proof of goodness.

I never said it was the greatest language ever. I'll take Ruby or Lisp over PHP any day. I was simply saying that the OP's post is framed as if PHP was generally considered a useless newbie language, and that using it for a startup is somehow noteworthy.
The story of the flip is fascinating. It was launched at the perfect time : camcorders were expensive and difficult to use. Hardware was cheap, youtube was growing like crazy and here came the flip that took advantage of all these trends to create a product that became a super hit. But it had a short shelf life with the launch of the iphone 3gs and other smart phones that could essentially do the same thing. To me the flip is a great example of a company that identified a profitable niche took advantage of industry trends and made max $$ in the few years that it was around. Too bad, cisco you were too late to the party.
Your product rocks! For a while I was thinking of ways to efficiently and non intrusively capture feedback on my site.In WebEngage, I have found my answer. I am definitely recommending it to my publisher friends.
Does this conflict with the notion of the speed of light being a universal maximum speed? If teleporting information causes bi-directional communication to be instant, aren't signals being propagated at faster than the speed of light?
Quantum teleportation does not allow for faster than light transmission of information.

"It does not transport the system itself, nor does it allow communication of information at superluminal (faster than light) speed." https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Quantum_telep...

I doubt this is different.

That's definitely true in the long term, but while I don't believe that Amazon is necessarily going to abuse the power they ask for just because they have it, heavily discounting apps at the developer's expense is a great way to get traction for a new app market that most people haven't heard of.

For many of the discounted apps, those that depend on the purchase revenue (vs. ad-based) and that might be fad, or temporarily popular, this could effectively kill them off in the name of helping Amazon.
I used zatelnet before buying Panic's app. It was absolutely horrendous.
Simply put - if you are a good developer and the language isn't completely out of whack for what you are attempting to do -- for instance, web apps and fortran probably aren't optimal -- the language shouldn't matter in terms of getting things done.

I know of a couple of startups doing well that are built using PHP. One doesn't even advertise the fact that they use PHP because they want strong developers regardless of language. Fact is, PHP is pretty darn simple to pick up, not much harder to do things correctly, and has a lot of third party/opensource support. Is it cool? No, but when it comes to language wars, this pretty much sums up my feelings:

http://programming-motherfucker.com/

Personally, there was a startup about 6 years ago where I wanted to use Python. The IT guy and I got into a discussion about PHP vs. Python. He was more comfortable in securing PHP apps. I was enamored with Python, since I was writing a bunch of stuff with it. After exploring mod-python vs. mod-php, mod-python had bugs and wasn't nearly as mature, so we went with PHP. The language didn't matter, it was about getting things done.

There are lots of "cool" languages out there, a good dev will run circles around a mediocre dev who focuses on things that are "cool".
