This 'unlimited' term is very misleading.
Every connection that has a bandwidth cap will be tied and limited by that cap. ie. 10mb/s is limited to 10mb/s period.
There is no such thing as 'unlimited' unless of course the connection has no virtual cap, then that would be considered unlimited.

So every connection plan as we know is limited and never unlimited.

Thoughts?
Table parsing is nowhere near that similar. It's almost certain IE's algorithm is largely different — it just obtains similar results to NN's in most cases.

I used my meteor developer account to get the free discover meteor book (via the limited time 1.0 promotion I guess), but I thought I did something wrong, tried again and ended up with two copies/purchases. It was free, but seems like a bug. Maybe detect if someone already got a book?
Well, there are reasons and it's getting more common. In fact most modern browsers, even on a smartphone, may have more computing power than a server if you consider that the client has only to serve itself and the good performance of modern JavaScript engines. And having to do a lot of networking with a server slows a lot too, since network is one of the slowest and unreliable parts of an app.

So your answer sounds more like an excuse than a solution to me, sorry.

Except that consumers don't like those kinds of billing plans.

Consumers like fixed bill per month. Period. A plan that charges more per month than metered would still wins because the consumer sees it as a fixed charge.

Data overage charges in Canada became such a headache with the flood of consumer complaints that the CRTC (rough Canadian equivalent of the US FCC) implemented regulations dictating a wireless code of conduct[1] for Canadian wireless operators to follow for their consumer segment. These regulations supposedly took effect on 2 December 2013[2].

One of the interesting ones is the following nugget: "to limit your data overage charges to $50 a month and your data roaming charges to $100 a month."[3]

Agreed. If there is ever a shining example of why competition is important and mono/duopolies are bad, take a look at T-Mobile. Can you imagine if the DOJ let the AT-T/TMobile merger go through? And given that history, how they are even considering letting the Comcast/TimeWarner merger go through is amazing to me.

I would like to offer a small historical perspective on the power of banks:

Legal Tender Act, 1862 [1]:

"Thaddeus Stevens, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee of Ways and Means, ... denounced the exceptions, calling the new bill "mischievous" because it made United States Notes an intentionally depreciated currency for the masses, while the banks who loaned to the government got "sound money" in gold."

Banks always get the first class life boats, and set their own rules (think about it, they buy influence, it's not that hard when you're a bank). I think Europe just missed some kickbacks the old fashioned way.

I'm still a bit unclear on what the target market for Meteor is. Is this just for small to medium sized projects, or is it intended to be used for large-scale projects as well?

Since it seems like everyone wants to think of themselves as doing something huge, I'm sure the answer can't be 'no' to the second question — but I don't see any examples of significant projects being built on the platform. Actually, with that in mind, what happened to the gallery of projects built on top of Meteor? Perhaps I'm missing it.

All that being said, congratulations on reaching 1.0. There's clearly a lot of great energy and thought that went in to the project.

$130/month for 10GB data is kind of a ripoff. Granted, it's only for one phone, but right now I pay 25 Euros (~$30) for unlimited calls and SMS and 5GB data per month (extendable for 10 Euros per 5 GB whenever I run out) in Germany. And that's expensive compared to other EU countries...
It's definitely a win for hackathons and getting a MVP out there that needs real time features. I can't speak much for large scale projects since I haven't had the fortune of reaching that scale yet with meteor, but I'd imagine it will be ideal for that eventually simply by extrapolating the current growth and improvement trends of the framework.

It uses a database, specifically MongoDB. But as I understand it, Meteor manages this for you itself, and abstracts the orchestration of those things into the Meteor platform itself.

It's just a higher level of abstraction, not a new technology. And certainly not flat files.
I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8029221, at least, so yes, the current post is a dupe.
It's super-webscale MongoDB, of course!
Meteor uses mongodb. They have plans to support additional types of databases but they wanted to use something that was popular with developers and they wanted to do a good job on it.

This is not what happened, a replica with persistence turned off restarted with an empty data set, and the slaves replicated that empty data set. Basically Redis replication currently must be used with some form of on-disk persistence turned on. However after the introduction of diskless replication (http://antirez.com/news/81) we now have a good reason to support replication with persistence turned down in a proper way, so there is already a feature work in progress in order to support the Stripe-alike use case: https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/2087
Meteor just hit 1.0 and is not the type of framework you can just start including in your stack.

You really have to build a meteor app from the ground up, so it is hard for established tech companies to get into Meteor when they already have spent years coding on another stack.

As new startups who use Meteor grow you will see those large-scale projects come about.
> If, after reading this, anyone is still nodding their head and entertaining the idea that their internet company is in the same league as Blackwater, then they have some pretty strange value judgments.

We can get really philosophical about this if you want. Is it worse to kill 1 person or dismember 100? Is it worse to bankrupt one person or steal $1 from a million? If the perpetrator is a single entity, then courts have precedents to punish appropriately. But what if it is a systemic theft where a million people are involved in making hundred million others suffer slightly? Is that somehow "less wrong" than 5 people killing 25?

What if one of the hundred million suffering slightly, missing school work, or work assignments because of bandwidth theft, and loses grade or job and consequently, a chance at productive life? Every time my home internet goes down, I lose a chance at being productive, meeting my deadlines, and making money.

We have started placing a lot more importance over the last few decades on violent crimes committed against a few over white collar crimes that marginally impact millions. Violent crimes against a few will never stop as long as humans continue to be humans. However, by excusing the white collar crimes that steal pennies from everyone, we are slowly chipping away at our standard of living. Banks charge fees incorrectly and get away with it. Cellphone companies do the same. Insurance companies do the same. Since nobody in a large company can be held guilty for distributed crimes, every large company engages in them without consequences.

An EDI error at my wife's health insurance company caused a refusal in her invoice. The doctor's office said "Sorry, the insurance company said they won't cover it." Only after I read through the fine print and contacted all parties involved, did we find out that it was an automated electronic processing error instead of an outright denial by a human or algorithm. Nobody got blamed for this. There is nothing I can do about this to prevent future instances. And I am 100% certain, there are many many many others who have just paid the $200 without putting up a fight. And then someone of them stop getting the treatment because $200 is too much, and then suffer despite having insurance.

You might still put outright murder in a different league than bandwidth theft, but my point is that scale matters and we continue to ignore it because we solely look at individual instances and go "Pfft! It's only bad 10% of the time for 5% of the base so who cares?", ignoring that the base is 100 million people.

> Blackwater is a company whose employees kill people.

You have to eat to live. You have to pay to eat. Tricking people out of more money than they can afford, with no regard for how it might harm their lives, is negligence comparable in quality (though obviously not severity by degree) to firing a gun randomly in the dark.

There is a quantitative difference between running over one homeless person while speeding and running over a hundred people every day for a year. Yet both are illegal, for the same reason.
What would concern me is if you ever reach a scale where you need to optimize in ways that Meteor can't support. But, that probably falls into the 'problems you want to have' bucket.

Production ready Mesos hosted in the cloud.

Now I dont have to run a $500M company to cut server costs and save dev ops time. Apache Mesos is a system predominatly used by large companies, to more efficiently utilize servers in their data centers.

The traditional way of organizing your servers requires a certain number of servers per cluster. For example: 50 webservers for your web app in one cluster, 5 servers for your database in another cluster, and 10 servers for redis, etc. On average, you'd utilize 50% of each cluster, but have the extra capacity for spikes.

Mesos makes your servers way more efficient by treating them as raw power, allowing any server to run any kind of app/task. It chops a server up into many linux containers and can shuffle around your tasks, so that a web app, redis server, and database server could all be running in different areas of the same "physical" server. I read that one company saved ~40% of their server costs and served the same load just by switching to Mesos.

Marathon is made by Mesosphere and acts as the brains or controller for your servers. You can allocate what percentage of resources go to certain apps/tasks, and it also handles deployment, scaling, failover and restarting.

Mesos supports Docker, so converting an existing app to run this on DO with Mesosphere is simple. Some applications are built for Mesos already, like Spark (MapReduce replacement), and will be inherently faster without the Docker overhead.

I found Mesosphere's tutorial useful for setting up a dev environment and trying things out - https://mesosphere.com/docs/getting-started/playa-install/

AT&T silently killed what formerly was an unlimited plan out of the blue one day, and not many people noticed. I would constantly run into the 3 GB limit a week or two into the month and then suffer through the slow throttled 0.5 Mbps rates for the rest of the billing cycle in agony.

At that point I realized I was essentially paying for a 3 GB data plan (remember, no tethering provisioning was included or even could be added) under the auspices of an 'unlimited' tier. I switched to mobile shared but that turned out to be a huge mistake for other reasons (among which was that corporate discount codes didn't apply to the $30 phone fee on top of the bucket charge), and then shortly after that left for T-Mobile where I now have a real unlimited plan for less money. Not the full speed tiers + throttled data after that plan mind you, the actual unlimited plan.

What's really disappointing is that it took the FTC until now to build a case or whatever legal burden is required to go after AT&T for their elaborate bait-and-switch. This is years after the fact, and I wonder how much extra money AT&T made as a result.

Well, as a Meteor developer, I think they could make this clearer, since obviously your data has to go somewhere, and you do need to design the schema and manage the data.

Currently it uses MongoDB, though (last I heard) there are plans for Postgres and possibly more, but it will have to work like MiniMongo on the client (i.e., no ORM, and mostly the same on server and client).

It's pretty much hassle-free though, especially with some of the community packages, such as collection2 and simple-schema.

At last months devshop in SF a speaker discussed straining the system and reaching the limits of Meteor with just hundreds of simultaneous connections:

Hundreds isn't really exactly "webscale", but I'm sure they'll iron it out, or it could have just been the application that was at fault. It's one data point however on how meteor scales.

2.5-2.7 might be resolved by decentralization. If everyone could pseudonymously tag anything, and you could ask questions about the tagging of various sets of pseudonyms, these don't seem to be really hard any more. You do need some degree of normalization, but we don't need One True Taxonomy - we can support multiple perspectives on the world. Hopefully, with proper tooling, we can find a few that are sufficiently consistent and useful.
