I wonder if AWS is a good location to run a VoIP server. VoIP is a real time application that is very prone to jitter, latency and packet loss. I'm concerned about "noisy neighbors" and decreased network performance at AWS.

Does anybody have experience with running a VoIP (e. g. Asterisk) on AWS?

Good article. Simplicity is key for the masses.

Having everything open sourced, I wonder what they do to prevent others from copying their service.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I understand that if expectations are not met there have to be consequences. But leaving the founders of a company with nothing while others earning money feels completely wrong.

Sounds like they signed a relay bad contract. I'm sorry for them.

$120k/year at the age of 24 is already pretty high. I wouldn't expect a crazy %-increase at that level.

I avoided Dropbox. The news about FireFly just remembered me why I did it.

The NSA is becoming a real threat to American Internet companies. This is concerning.

Nice article. But kite boarding is the sport most founders I know are doing.

I can't help but I just don't want Dropbox or anybody else to read all my files.

Meerkat will have no chance against Periscope with the support of Twitter. In two years we will hardly remember what Meerkat was. Sad but true.

That just underlines the amazing work the OpenBSD guys are doing. In the end quality wins. I hope OpenBSD gets more and more adoption in the industry.

I couldn't agree more.

There are huge amounts of money in SV that produces all sorts of amazing things. But you will always see negativ side effects one has to deal with.

I wonder if Huthos is offering a SLA for their VPS :)

Are you talking about recycling of inactive accounts? Isn't that happening at every online service?

There is obviously too much money in mountain climbing at the Everest. Everywhere that happens, things are getting unhealthy.

I generally think open sourcing software is a good thing. But what does it me to the project in this case? Is Hackpad droped by Dropbox?

I still remember the days when AMD was clearly outperforming Intel. But these days are over.

FAT32 is support on almost any platform out of the box without additional drivers/software etc. There is no other file format with that wide range of support, yet.

Somthing like bitcoin is definitely necessary but with its flaws Bitcoin will either get replaced by something better or it will stay in its niche.
