I agree to your point about taking your actual car. Loading cars inside would indeed complicate the system a lot.

What I tried to say was more about the psychological impact of imagining a car fit in the capsule, even if the same space is just taken by larger seats.

Common Crawl is awesome. I wonder how complex it would be to run a Google-like frontend on top of it, and how good the results would be after a couple days of hacking...

IMHO Musk (or anyone who follows up) should drop the "passenger" version and go with the "passenger plus vehicle" version only.

Because right now what people and the press are going to focus on is how small the cabins are, why there are no toilets, etc. On the other hand if you can imagine putting a car in there the claustrophobia argument disappears and you can think straight again...

We just published his talk at dotScale 2013 where he talks about software design, Go, lockservers and more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYukPc0y_Ro

Which doesn't hold up with the explanation that they just closed the dev center to add security...

Either someone tampered with the data or made the whole system crash? Or it crashed by itself and there is no security issue at all :)

You should add RQ in there! http://www.slideshare.net/sylvinus/why-and-how-pricing-assis...

They are one of the most brilliant tech teams in France, and got at least a good headstart there. Then they did Techcrunch, etc. The high quality Kickstarter page & video certainly helped a lot too.

There's no need to factor in anything, those statistics come from actual outcomes of past crashes.

I'd say this one is :) http://obamaischeckingyouremail.tumblr.com/image/52498185767

Thanks :) We will try to outdo ourselves this year!

He really is! He will also be on stage in Paris in 2 weeks at my http://dotscale.eu conference ;-) Come and meet him!

Because with Glass they can directly post the picture of what they saw on the web?

Yep, this is the French version, albeit we also have larger ones:

My 2c as somebody outside of the game development scene:

- it seems weird to spend time developing a "social backend" when you could have bootstraped using OpenFeint or Game Center and saved development time which seemed to be an issue for you

- it also seems to be a huge lack of focus to first try developing 3 games instead of 1, then start a PC game and before that one is even released, restart yet another one with a different strategy.

I hope people will put some effort in making WordPress compatible with App Engine. WordPress' reliance on local files is usually a big pain point.

The real question is, are they all a safe bet now!

Not sure how relevant this is but there is a huge amount of spelling errors in this email, which makes it look all the more authentic but very unprofessional.

Also surprising that this email (if the pastebin is authentic) appears to have been written by a mail client from 2006 suffering from at least one public GnuPG-related vulnerability.

Congrats!

We couldn't be happier to have Solomon as a speaker at our conference in Paris on June 7: http://dotscale.eu

See you there :-)

Can't do much about the travel but I can definitely give you a discounted ticket and I'm sure you could find someone in the local community to couchsurf!

Awesome ;-)

How about comparing to the lifetime of one person? With the US average life expectancy (78 years) that means you'd have to upload 800 objects/second for your whole life to get to 2 trillon :)

Edit: One S3 object for each fish in the ocean (3 to 4 trillion) could also be a nice future milestone (if also slightly underwhelming :)

Edit2: I also love the eye blink as a unit of time. Each time you blink (average is around 15 times a minute), XXX more objects will have been uploaded to/requested on S3

"If you added one S3 object every 60 hours starting at the Big Bang, you'd have accumulated almost two trillion of them by now."

That actually sounds underwhelming! IMHO our brains have an easier time thinking "hey, 1 every 60 hours that's not much" compared to figuring out the universe is really incredibly old ;-)

Thanks a lot ! ;-)

What is preventing you to come? Distance?

I think the rumors say June 10-14 for WWDC so you should be fine :)

This "single entity" argument makes a lot of sense. But then shouldn't NYC be the next step after testing in smaller cities like KC and Austin?

good idea, terrible interface :(

What I get from these slides is that MongoDB has better average performance (when both using indexes or doing full scans) compared to all schemaless PostgreSQL options.

Funny that the 3 "top paying" acquirers are telcos and not Googles :)

Cross-posting my held-in-moderation comment to her post here:

"I calculated my next steps." => I'm sorry but that just feels wrong.

You actively tried to harm these guys (and succeeded). I'm pretty sure they weren't "calculating" their bad jokes to hurt your feelings.

Instead of an absurdly long post you should probably just have mentioned their bad taste, apologised for getting somebody fired and tried to resolve this issue as peacefully as possible instead of blowing it up.

No, the future of programming wasn't on the line yesterday. Yes, you made yourself heard but in way that (so far) has only done harm to this community.

I really thought this was an API for the driverless cars!

Slight disappointment after following the link of course :)

Is the network really that powerful between NYC and Boston alumnies that may never have met for instance?
