Simply, and without too many details: the load balancer failed to work properly when one server in the cluster stopped responding, causing a cascade of errors which successively crashed all of the other servers (including, interestingly, th

Shortly after publishing, I received a phone call from "Apple, Inc.". When I tried to answer, the call dropped. Then my Apple ID account was suddenly unlocked and I got an email from someone saying they are going to try to call ag

I didn't expect that tweet to get so much attention. I plan to write more about what exactly happened when my accounts are re-activated. But to clear a couple of things up: 1. I've since learned that the reason this happened could

As the author of The Best, I am quite surprised and confused by Rhinehart's suggestion that the piece marks the "death" of Silicon Valley. He does not seem to understand me or what I was saying at all. Also, "my ilk&quot

It's not a marketing gimmick--it's a promise. It's how I want my own blog to be treated. We announced this publicly so that you now know: if you write on Svbtle, your content is vastly more likely to survive for a long time t

Garry and I have the same goals and motivations (and we are good friends).

Because it's going to take months to work out the specifics and I wanted to make the promise now.

Good idea--we'll add that.

No, we want to do it ourselves. Only in the case of something horribly catastrophic would we resort to using an external service like Archive.org--but unlike other startups, we would work very closely with them to archive all data. And perh

Actually, we do save all user data right now and don't plan to change that--but it's hard to promise to keep that stuff forever.

As I mentioned elsewhere, there are certain things that can be done to keep the service running for at least your lifetime--I'm working on a trust that will be created in the event of my death (or the company's death) that can kee

I'm working on a trust that will be created in the event of my death (or the company's death) that can keep the servers running for a very long time to come, even with no paying customers. Will make that public when it's fini

I titled it that on purpose, to allude to the new product. I hate clickbait. I changed the title anyway.

A lot of the supporting data comes from adults 18-29. I include data from teens 14-20, because I think the habits they are learning will continue as they grow older.

This is absolutely not true about Nokia. Nokia took the competition seriously, but made a single fatal error: it tried to evolve its low end platform into its high end platform. While that strategy makes complete sense in 90% of cases for m
