Pretty sure it was just for Halloween (a US holiday) and they've changed it back now. I guess they also changed it internationally too?

How is this different from a regular CDN like Akamai, Cloudflare, etc.?

I agree with your message, but that quote could be applied to any company ever. Case studies would be more useful.

"If the project is behind schedule, Gigster just assigns more developers to it or fires under-performing ones so it gets done on time." - Somebody hasn't read Mythical Man-Month.

Disclosure: I'm working on a video delivery network company called Dendrio (www.dendr.io).

You're pretty spot on about AWS. Storage is super cheap, but data transfer can be really expensive. Also, depending on your users' habits, you'll likely want a CDN to serve your files, especially if you want to serve international markets, and I can tell you that most CDNs are very expensive for video hosting. Third party hosting like Youtube and Vimeo have limits for how you can use them which are easy to go over while full-service video hosting/analytics/monetization like Brightcove and Ooyala will cost you a house.

Shameless self-promotion: you should check us out at dendr.io. We're working on a peer to peer CDN that runs on top of your existing hosting provider (whether you do it yourself, or a CDN) to decrease your costs and give you other benefits. Feel free to email me at "albert@" our domain.

Brainfuck is just a set of symbols that map to the actions a Turing machine can make. I believe that the symbols themselves were chosen to make it difficult to read and write much like Whitespace. As for Turing machines, I'm sure there are programming books about them but I'm pretty sure their point is about studying computational theory rather than practical use.

I think this is a use case of signed commits. They would allow for verification of the commit's author's identity.

Invert the colors - white is paths, black is walls.

Fourier Transform equation is wrong. Integral from infinity to infinity? That doesn't make sense. It should be negative infinity.

Another red flag - Is it just me, or is the header image on the conference website an image of Las Vegas?

Amazon EC2 vs Google CE - Fight.

From the article they published in Advanced Materials, it seems the ink actually contains silver (the element) nanoparticles in a colloid. I'm surprised that the resistance is still that high.
