:) AMP isn't for you then. Honestly your site is probably better than AMP could ever be just inherent in the fact your site doesn't need a library enforcing rules, but thats not the point of AMP. AMP is for forcing news sites to d

AWS is often competitively priced, but Azure is usually around twice as expensive.

Why? The US is clearly in desperate need of tax dollars. Look at how much we spend a year for the military alone, which accounts for around half of the USA's total budget. Whats also shocking is that the tech companies have billions of

Yes you are. It still doesn't make it morally ok.

You are right, but its still wrong. Even if the legislation around the subject matter doesn't work, it doesn't mean the companies aren't paying their "fair share". They aren't. Just because something is legal,

so what? its still pretty damn cool. It gives you a very good feel for what VR could be!

Sort of, the viewport can't change more than the displays refresh rate. So the refresh rate is a hard cap on the latency between head movements and the view moving. This is probably why we are begining to hear talks about 120hz smart p

Cardboard has very low latency. I believe its far lower than the Oculus is. Its of course not doing very much. But thats the point its simple entry level VR for the masses. Most people aren't going to spend 400$ for the headset + 2000$

They have a free tier 2. AWS actually has a pretty decent free tier for an entire year.

Besides not being very reassuring, its quite expensive. People on HN always want to believe its affordable, I don't get it. Like you can go to the site and see that it's quite an expensive cloud service.

GCN and AWS both have very easy drop in Docker support. I'm not sure how it could get any easier.

by devsquid 11y ago
wut?? Azure is about 30-50% more expensive than AWS or GCN. I look around every time I have a new client, look for yourself. I think they've just won favor of startups recently because they've been subsidizing their cloud costs. I

For most users in the US, they won't see a difference in speed. However when I lived with 100down/up internet, there was a huge speed difference between Drive and DropBox. Drive was like 4x faster.

Man I've meet some dropbox employees and talked about to them about their company. Its kinda frightening. The sheer amount of decadence makes me think the company won't last. It was shocking to listen to them and be around them. T

by devsquid 11y ago
I feel your pain. I use both Drive and Dropbox. I think they have the two best cloud storage software, or at least the best from what I've used.

Man................. You raise a good point. I read the headline and was pretty stoked to see my country reinvesting in itself. But this is US, fuck. I think iPads are wonderful devices, but to think a school would buy them for their studen

Rofl... this is the US, to prosecute anyone for being anticompetitive is almost impossible.

Sweet its cool to see people building off of the Chromebook idea. This says its geared towards developers, however I can't find what exactly that means?

by devsquid 11y ago
just because they don't have a majority doesn't mean its not anticompetitive.

by devsquid 11y ago
No it doesn't. It shows that supporters of net neutrality understand the issue is deeper than just "someone is slowing down access to specific content on the net and thats bad". This is anti-competitive, t-mobile is the gate

Actually watching that video demonstrates its not that great. Sure its doable, but as a device touted to be a productivity device that combines the best of laptops and tablets. Its more of a mediocre laptop and mediocre tablet.

Does it really compare to Parse tho? Like one of the amazing things about Parse was how easy it was for a nub to pick up. (I know from first hand exp)

LOL, you can tell this article touches on something sensitive from the reaction to it on HackerNews. Its a pretty accurate description of SF, I just doubt NY is any different.

I'm referring to Linux instances. Also Azure charges you for both ingress and egress traffic. I've looked into it many times.

Just do it yourself. its pretty obvious Azure cost a lot more than both AWS or GCN.
