Because depending on the size of what you are running PaaS can be very expensive.

Relevant comment on reddit as to why this isn't exactly accurate:

Aren't they still applicable to SOPA if they are .com .net .org .us domains such as homeland security taking down domains previous example shows.

At least for this website it isn't your data but it is their data.

They are backing up their curated photos (which seems to pretty much be the whole business as they say in the article).

It appears they are using Akamai services to server their images so hopefully their is some extra redundancy there already.

Other than that it seems like it would be a steal to use s3 as a backup system at this point because from this article it looks like they need to hire another employee to tell them why this backup solution seems a bit silly (I mean having trouble setting up the hardware).

How realistic is it for these things to actually happen though, the only seemingly realistic thing is the DOS attack.

I'm not saying it isn't smart I am just wondering if you have any examples of the others actually occurring.

Since I didn't spot the link right away.

For amazon cloudfront at the most expensive tier it buys close to 42 GB but then there would be no profit in sending the file 34 times (someone said it was a 1.2 GB file).

It makes sense to me why he is only allowing a few downloads otherwise a few extreme users could take up all his money just by streaming.

Some more about the story:

It is immature it is dumb but I can tell you this there are plenty of college kids that would live for games like this.

Drinking is immensely popular in many colleges and drinking games are one of the most common forms of college drinking (see beer pong and others).

The real problem is that their really isn't a shop that wants to carry a game like this I would think if there were a novelty shop it might be the best bet (maybe spencer's gifts style) it is just there are so few of these kind of shops that the market reach for this kind of game is limited.

WRONG STATEMENT: I believe that the person running pinboard mentioned that it started at something like $3 or maybe more, so it isn't 9550 but probably a bit less, even less if you count inactive users.

Actually it was probably this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1454373 and I am remembering the amount of disdain wrong

I believe you are remembering wrong:

Not to say it is uncommon to call Stephen Wolfram egotistic, I swear there was a thread about Wolfram remembering Turing and people counting how many times Wolfram mentioned himself but it may have been killed as I can't find it.

I may be wrong but I believe it is because emacs now supports color theming without color-theme.el

Yes, in the latest development branch they dropped support for python 2.4 though.

This boggles me as well, wordpress has a huge install base and them making a sanctioned plugin for these ads would give a much wider audience to advertisers. The only reason I can possibly see wordpress.com sites as the reason for the rollout is that they are doing a limited release in order to not get overwhelmed.

Kinda looks like he leaves that kind of question to be answered by his ebook see here:

http://www.kreci.net/android/make-money-on-android/

http://www.kreci.net/android/make-money-android/

Which just goes to show he can do marketing on more than just android. I guess I'll support it because I really like these income reports but I can't comment on whether the ebook is any good.

Perhaps if you were able to leverage it into performing tasks that the specific data structure excels at where other things don't.

I'm kind of thinking along the lines of google's BigTable and Mapreduce but that isn't exactly the same.

Check for mistypings because there is a large amount of people in there, I don't know if you mean it is full of idle people but it is a pretty active channel last time I was in there.

I use namecheap and https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ I like both.

NearlyFreeSpeech only offers .net .org and .com I believe and you have to pay for extras that some other places give for free (such as dns) if you use those but they have a very nice TOS and general behavior.

I believe that would be much harder than what /ask is because /ask is just aggregating the self posts.

You are probably better off looking at these two searches or looking through the /ask page.

That is probably making it harder on yourself as the recommended route for learning factor is to read a forth book and read the factor docs. (Unless something has changed and a book or big tutorial has been written)

With that said, Factor is really cool.

Yes I had a different perspective going in to this I thought it was going to be more like what this discussion was about: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3168038

The discussion doesn't have as much about it but basically a YC company posted to jobs about looking to brogrammers and getting crunk/partying and those were the type of people they were looking for.

I believe ROM manager works after you have successfully gained root on your device and not before. It may have changed since I no longer have an android phone but when I had my droid the process was install a rooted version of your current OS then you upgrade from there. ROM Manager just made the installing other OS's and extras and keeping cyanogenmod up to date easier.

You can do it in gmail just scroll down and click under the quoted text. Never used outlook so I'm not sure.

I personally think the default (top-posting) is much better, it isn't that hard to follow conversations in reverse order but the opposite makes it really hard to find the answers to solutions and find the responses to what you are quoting. So from me: Please don't bottom post.

A large part of it is learn as you go, but if you can learn the programs you will be using such as vim or nano/pico and bash and how linux works (for you specifically how ubuntu/debian do things) it can help a lot.

As for specifics there is a lot of good stuff in here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/

If you come from windows avoid using X and GUIs as that really shouldn't be needed in a server environment.

Does anyone have a reason for why this wifi mapping invades my privacy?

I just can't see what makes it so wrong, I mean I am not ecstatic about my router mac and general area being tied together but is it easy for someone to find where I am based on what wifi I am connected to through a browser?

The only time I see it being a problem is if you have malware and they are able to target you by location but depending on what malware you are infected with it might be just as easy for the malware users to look somewhere else for location.

Maybe I am just being dense.

It looks like it happened because he posted the same thing twice in different threads, not because he deleted it.

Apparently everything on there is fake.

I clicked checkout after looking around and fake adding things to cart and nothing happened.

I'm also unlikely to use facebook to login to a site to buy things.

Do any other languages really lend themselves to the one line command tools like perl does?

The only one off the top of my head would be ruby but I don't have that much ruby knowledge to judge.

This kind of thing however is perl's bread and butter.
