They don't understand the model where SaaS businesses use Shopify as a billing channel on top of their own subscription model, it's all or nothing - they assume that anything in the app store can only use Shopify billing if the us

Been using Puma in clustered mode for almost a year now & it blows away any of the other alteratives (for our use case) by a large margin.

Found it difficult to follow once "today" got down to 1px in size. Shows us just how insignificant we are compared to time itself.

Whilst it's truly amazing that they've found 3 separate photos of the same person in the same spot at the blast there's a few questions that come to mind: - If he was planning to commit the atrocity he did, why would you stand & talk to

It was no surprise this was coming after the handouts at SXSW. We did an interview with Linode last month about some of their new upgrades: http://blog.serverbear.com/interview/linode/ You can also see some benchmark data from the new E5

I dunno, seems like the firing is more to seem like they are "doing the right thing" I personally don't think someone should be let go over comments that are part of a private conversation. It was fine for Adria Richards to make sexist joke

Thanks! ^_^ That is a pretty good idea, I'll pop it into our roadmap. We've got a chunk of time allocated this month to work on some stuff & that's an easy quick win :)

We monitor uptime :) http://serverbear.com/9683/linode#view-uptime-beta Plus benchmarks etc (user run, which means you get a decent dataset to compare by server spec/location). http://serverbear.com/9683/linode#view-benchmarks http://s

I've recently moved to an iPhone 5 after being on Android for a few years. I'm a heavy Gtalk user & it pains me that there's no official Google app for it on iOS - something I'd love to see.

Here's two Rasbperry Pi Benchmarks (these are also pre 512mb model), bear in mind these are both just run from home networks: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/11/ENc5kl1X2ZciF0LZ http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/08/gcMHO1PD

From my testing the Raspberry Pi benchmarks similar to the Amazon Micro instance. Happy to post some results if you want to see them.

Fairly similar performance, but almost $20 difference in price. Here's some data comparing the 1GB plans: Linode 1GB: http://serverbear.com/13-linode-1024-linode Prgmr 1GB: http://serverbear.com/1709-1024mib-prgmr-com

Amazon's IO/IOPS performance is pale on comparison to a lot of providers (shameless plug): http://serverbear.com/benchmarks/io

Does TechCrunch have an army of upvoters? just seems like their posts come from nowhere to the front page with almost no discussion.

One of the co-founders here, there's a lot of stuff we're working on but would love to hear any other feedback anyone has (of if you have any questions!)

I'm assuming this is BPM, if you want something a bit harder. IMO needs an option for ambient/downtempo stuff I personally find it hard to get stuff done to dance music.

Ran some benchmarks, really insane IOPS on this plan. Pretty average CPU performance (they're using fairly old E5620's). http://blog.serverbear.com/post/27553311076/hi1-4xlarge-benc...

Storm on Demand have done SSD storage for a while now, pretty solid IOPS numbers too. I'll run a benchmark comparison tonight.

We're about to launch a service that allows comparison of benchmarks from cloud providers (UnixBench/IO & BW), would love to run it on your plans to compare against Amazon etc. http://serverbear.com/benchmarks

This just seems like a wrapper around Viglink? Not entirely sure what the value add is here other than shortening URL's. Viglink IMO take 25% off the commission, which means 75% is available to go to Refer.ly/User. Not sure what percentage

Stripping affiliate links is pretty easy, however it's pretty hard to know all the possible combinations from all the networks. Skimlinks already ignores their redirect if the link is already affiliated so I'm guessing they could just rever

Trying to be more like Wolfram imo, there's still lots of searches where Google fails for me, for example doing a search for "est time" currently gives the time in Eastern Kenya. Wolfram gives me the EST time in Australia (because that's wh

For me the main issue is that as you get older the barrier to entry for you to move from Job -> Startup gets greater. I'm 29, have 2 mortgages & an amazing son (that my wife looks after - therefore she isn't working anymore). So my

Agreed on this setup, I have a blog that does 500k+ visits a month on 2x512 Linode VPS and it barely goes above 0.1 load.

Skimlinks does have subids I think, so technically they could "share" the revenue with users if they wanted to. Hypothetically.
