Facebook allows you to post pins to fb, but doesn't allow you to pin images that are fb. http://min.us/mbrREewTH7

No secrets here, these are basics. Since your mail is mostly transactional your volume is significantly low compared to people who specialize in mailing. Transactional email is less likely to produce spam complaints. Misspelled addresses are detected on first sends, which is what you want. You're going to get an error at the smtp level or a bounce.

Here's a secret - Monitor the ip to domain ratios , usually gmail will allow 1k of mail from the same ip per hour.

why have a tester work on a beta version? It's free software labelled Beta , it doesn't load on IE x , this happens. If it was released as stable, then there's a reason. You wouldn't be deploying the beta version to your clients anyway. But here is the point. You are running a for profit business, use a tool that fits the needs of your clients and the skill set of your staff. Have it built. WordPress doesn't have the features you need, things you want are not on the roadmap, and it's buggy. Why didn't you switch away earlier ?

Reply from Senator Gillibrand

Thank you for writing to me regarding S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act of 2011. I understand your concerns.

I am a cosponsor of this legislation because I believe that we must protect American intellectual property against foreign websites that infringe upon our rights. By empowering the Attorney General of the United States to go after foreign infringing websites, this legislation becomes a necessary tool to ensure that U.S. companies remain competitive in the world marketplace. I recognize that there are technical concerns with the enforcement of this bill that need to be addressed. I am committed to working with my colleagues in the United States Senate to ensure that this legislation protects the Constitutional rights of Americans and does not stifle lawful free speech or innovation on the internet.

Thank you again for writing to express your concerns, and I hope that you keep in touch with my office regarding future legislation. For more information on this and other important issues, please visit my website at http://gillibrand.senate.gov and sign up for my e-newsletter.

It's image swapping every few seconds. The image is based on the clients "Web Crop". So they update screenshots over and over and over again.

All [EC2] nodes are internet addressable.

They all have internet routable ips/hostanames.

Proper use of security groups would address most of the concerns described in the post.

nodes in security group A (load balancer) can access nodes in security group B (app server)

Perka closes that loop hole by having the person behind the counter verify your visit using the app as a merchant.

BLOOMBERG: The protesters are protesting against people who make $40-50,000 a year and are struggling to make ends meet. really? There's more than one bubble.

I hope they process bouncebacks and disable the service for the bounced user.

they need diversity

Stop DDoS ? DoS and DDoS are 2 different animals, DoS are simple to stop.

I like the distributed website caching for static pages. Would be interesting to have pay for what was served model . . .

They are. http://goo.gl/RPgs2. It's not new.

They seem to have access to their zerigo dns account.

the main site now has this as the homepage http://min.us/ljEyGE

Nice job. Japan quakes visualized via Quakespotter http://min.us/lmgLTA

Create an A Record for your highest queried subdomain. Those will be cached and eventually decrease the number of queries. Depending on the number of subdomain you can create and remove it on signup and cancellation.

Heroku has a fixed stack with tiers that they could tune, tweak and horizontally scale. Is that what dotcloud provides for each of the listed technologies ?

interesting . . . I was thinking of a similar idea last year, using nginx's image filter module (libgd) http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpImageFilterModule

Todo:

Move the blog/status site outside your network (linode.com)

Work on a process to try and follow if you have another outage.

   - One person to handle communication (blog post / respond to users)

Work on a faster way to recover from such a failure. Maybe have a read only version you can switch to "maintenance mode" ?

Done:

Probably the biggest outage you'll face.

20+ outages don't usually happen.

Learning from it. . .

He's all business. In his earlier work he was more of a lyricists. He pivoted and started selling more record, making commercial music. His timing was right and he executed perfectly. In his own words.

"I dumb it down for my audience

The glorification of drug dealing and gun carrying is a huge turn off album after album.

You can now import your own ssh key. http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/CommandLineR...

Hopefully they get around to deploying open source monitoring with this hire http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/operations-en...

Would monitoring the rate of invalidation and triggering an event handler help ?

Getting -> 502 Bad Gateway

If you could use a cname for your MX record, what are the benefits of using ELB over what's already in place (weighted mx priorities, with the ability to relay mail away automatically on failure from AWS) ?

Also there's additional cost involved in using ELB.

I would prefer having a good dns provider, low ttl, EIP, nginx w/haproxy.

One of my most mememorable cluster fucks was recovering a database using strings on the disk. The customer ran repair table and ended up with a very small table :) . It was tedious but felt awesome actually getting a large part of the data back.

Why not implement a workaround (plan b), while you work on getting de-listed ?

Anyone use ssl acceleration cards these days?
