Or if we all get together and decide a company shouldn't behave in a certain way, that's another option. We call that government regulation when we everyone gets together to do that. You can think of it as voting with your money,

I'd go off of the BitBucket plugin install counts and compare them to what you're getting on GH: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/bitbucket/top-s...

Joyent offers this as I recall, however it's only a scale up, I don't think they can scale down afterwards.

BitBucket doesn't have a large OSS community, but it does have a lot of larger business that need Jira and Confluence integration. So it could be worth it, just the user base isn't as visible as GH.

Boeing does this with their seats in the factory too, they put a picture of a Lamborghini on the seats since they cost the same. EDIT: Yes, it's hard to believe a seat costs the same as a Lamborghini, that's exactly why they put t

That makes sense, and you actually do see RAIDs fail like that in the real world sometimes even on non-SSDs.

If you're not drinking a specific wine every day so to speak, and are tasting the subsequent vintages of the wine every year, your pallet won't be able to tell the difference really. That's how it is for most everyone, I thin

I've found that over the past 20 years my taste in wine has gotten more particular, it's really more about how your palate changes over time. The expensive and famous wines aren't completely without merit however, and if you

I'd agree, it's hard to beat if you need high bandwidth and low latency access to large data sets.

Thanks for the correction! That's somewhat encouraging.
