Used to live in Brunswick, now we're living in middle Georgia but my wife and I still love to fly our C182 down to grab some BBQ at Southern Soul (or cheesesteak at Skinny Pete's) every month or two. SSI is gorgeous and the airpor

Watched the video, don't think they mentioned it... any idea how fast it is? They said it can fly for up to 5 days, but without knowing cruising speed it's hard to say how useful it could be for moving people and cargo around when

regarding #1, I don't believe he's talking about someone who has chained together a bunch of jobs spending a year at each. Having "The same year of experience X times over" generally means you didn't grow as a devel

could easily knock multiple thousand bucks off of that by just reserving the ec2 servers you know you'll need, plus reserve the cloudfront bandwidth you know you'll need (for the amount of data served I believe you should be able

sure, all of that is possible. but honestly how likely is it that some or all of those things are the case on the direct path from netflix/youtube through the ISP in question to so many people's homes? and yet the problem spot is

More to the point, why would a profitable company who wants to stay small take VC money?

http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ the reserved capacity pricing is much better than the on demand pricing. Basically like EC2 on demand vs reservations. We set our reserved capacity at about 70-80% of what

also the outbound bandwidth cost of S3 is very high. it would cost us several times what we're paying for s3+cloudfront to serve our content straight from s3.

I have mixed feelings about this, but my gut reaction is that it's not acceptable. Mainly because inexperienced programmers tend to cobble together functional apps by leaning heavily on example code, and don't know that those exam

Our business has been profitable from the start and is now a pretty comfortable lifestyle business, but I don't know as any of us want to still be running it 10-20 years from now, so an exit certainly wouldn't be out of the questi

I haven't used either elasticsearch or solr, so I don't have firsthand experience on how they compare to Sphinx search ( http://sphinxsearch.com ) but I really love Sphinx. Also integrates nicely with MySQL if you&#x27

Do you specifically want it for sale if you don't expect it to sell many copies, or are you just looking to have your music out there? There are sites you can put music out there for free on. Shameless plug for my own site: http:&#x2F

yeah we recently migrated from memcached on elasticache to redis on EC2 (and bought the reservations), though our migration rolled out about 4-6 weeks ago. oh well, I guess.

you wouldn't want to do this straight out of EC2, but once you add S3=>CloudFront to the mix it's much less bad. Only thing you want to be serving from your EC2 boxes and load balancer is gzipped HTML/CSS/JS (could ev
