Drop me a note (email is in my profile) if you'd like to look at a SaaS business at the higher end of your revenue target.

Per GB it's 4c - and S3 is 3c - I wonder why? Maybe internally Amazon teams have to pay for S3 so the 1c is Cloud Drives margin...

Congrats to all- great service have been using for everything for years!

Blog and lots of Copper tools hosted on AWS. Stackdock on dedicated (not AWS or other IaaS) hardware.

To be honest - I think it's a timing thing - virtualization wasn't popular initially but VMWare did a great marketing job. Then any hyper-visor became acceptable. Now - VPS-style containers are becoming acceptable. IE: Docker.

Appreciate the feedback - thanks - point taken and we'll fix this.

Hackernews traffic spike! You can signup and create a Dockerfile - we've just paused instance deployment for a couple of hours as we add more servers. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the suggestion - we are looking at more usage based billing - including per CPU cycle / RAM usage to be a 'true' utility.

It's per instance - so you can have unlimited docker files; you only pay when you create an instance from one.

Thanks - we discussed that a lot - we were trying to make a simple 3 steps process. If we get a lot of feedback that it's confusing we'll ditch it.

Hey - thanks a million - that's the plan!

So this is a CRM for non-profits? Or a HR tool?

Thanks for the feedback. We can enable by default no problem - we just left it out since the upfront cost is included in the list.

I had a spreadsheet prior to this too ... that's why we decided to publish it (and programmatically keep it updated so it's always right - spreadsheets are tiresome to maintain!)

It's not what you want, it's what you want them to be responsible for, that they can achieve success in:

- Fund Raising and Financing - Customer Acquisition, Marketing, Content Marketing, PR - Metrics Metrics Metrics

Basically - the Start; the Operations (customer facing, not dev obviously); the Intelligence (where the overlap is and the co-founders work closely together on sharing their perspectives).

Great stuff. Value++ for PaaS.

I love all this talk about hours worked as if it's not a proxy for achievement - of course it is.

Will weak workers achieve great things in 6 hours or 16 hours? No.

Will over-achievers do brilliant things in 6 hours instead of 16 - depends on your definition.

Hours worked, working smart and all this BS doesn't matter. What matters is the size and complexity of the problem your working on, and how many problems you have to solve to move the needle on your goals.

So if you can do a great 30 hour week a move the needle - lucky you! Some people have to pour in 80-100 hour weeks just move the needle because what they are working on just cant be done 'smarter'.

I think the discussion needs to move from hours worked and quality of hours worked, back to quality of people : and hopefully the right people will work the right amount of time to productively deliver whats needed.

Not a great vindication of the new CIO/CTO roles created within governments, if the 2 of them only lasted a couple of years in what should have been the most exciting and challenging phase of their careers.

Export/Backup for your Social Networks - great idea.

Can I get more than just photos (files)? Can I save my data or will that get you banned from a few of the providers you integrate with!

I use Backupify for this 'anti-Cloud' type service - it backs up my Gmail. Since I use more than one PC, I'd like to see this do similar to Dropbox - sync local, in the Cloud, and be accessible through clients on any device. I suppose I could do that by putting the SocialFolders into Dropbox - but I'm not sure I want to pay on the double then.
