Feels like a question I should have asked as well. $150 p/m per site seems exorbitant.

My reference is to majority of the time and in a sustainable way. If doing good will last, there must also be a way to sustainably compensate the actors; they also need to have their needs taken care of.

> SLA for fixes Very curious how you price this...per fix or standard monthly fee? If it's a fee, how do you deal with absurd feature requests whose development costs far outstrip what you've quoted?

I had been doing the hosting with 3rd party providers but I realised that I could actually do it better myself if I built a multi tenant platform. For the support, I was doing a lot of the support anyway so I realised I might as well do it

This is the most unbiased view of Amazon I've seen.

I hadn't seen it that way but like @dna_polymerase pointed out above, it may very well be. I still maintain it's myopic and undeserving of a company I'd like to think of as the next facebook/amazon/google/micro

I would rather have Uber crash and burn under the stewardship of Kalanick (unlikely scenario) than have the same happen under a clueless board and a replacement CEO (likely scenario). I said it before and you can mark my word. This decision

Mistakes are made all the time. I swear to you, there's an exaggerated amount of hate towards Travis. You'd think he's the devil. What has he done that's so bad? He simply founded a company that was super successful with

What are these folks thinking? Bring Travis back. It's too early to have 1) a non-technical CEO 2) a CEO without domain experience & passion There's nothing to demonstrate this guy even cares about what Uber is doing in logist

Overthinking factors of success can also be stifling as it may lead to analysis paralysis. Just do it is a better way to do it, so to speak.

I agree 100%. It seems absolutely bonkers to me that one would leave their money on coinbase if this is the case. How is this even a debate? They will not hesitate to keep the BCC value themselves and even if they somehow magically find it

I agree. Don't forget Amazon still has so much it's doing with its current projects. Bezos has been really impressive. If you haven't read The Everything Store, you should get it - great book.

Ambiguous. Please let me know what's not clear and I'll respond.

Yes. Succinct answer that brings cryptocurrency's problems to the surface. Only when this is solved will it be practical to largely abandon fiat and I simply cannot wait.

Make a list. What are the things you want out of life? List them in order of priority. Go after each item on the list. Realize that you may or may not get each item you want but that the thrill is as much in the chase as it is in the outcom
