I think something more powerful could be done here. Imagine app that lets you understand all the politics and dirt on companies. Like how green are they or do they do animal testing . I see so much shit and choices, but who am rewarding

Aren't plants deterministic with water consumption. I can see the value of this in so far as data mining an optimal schedule, but it isn't green nor scalable.

Ditto, very sad. Based on the comments alone, it's better to turn off electronics to be safe from other passengers regardless of any merit to the authors actions. Although, I feel like not bothering with turning things off now and just put it in my pocket. After all, I get a thrill from risking my life along with a bunch strangers. Yeehaw!!!!

So s3 is like memcached now but slower.

The ability to do suffix based deletion would be nice since I lacked the foresight to prefix my thumbnails with their dimension. Although I could wipe all my thumbnails and rebuild them on the fly...

The problem is that instead of worrying about price, compete by being different and better. Make a store that people want to be in rather than a store.

Amazon will win on price hands down. If you think only on this dimension, then close up; instead, ask yourself why your customers come to you at all.

I'm more curious about how they hacked the officials. None the less, I think hack is now more or less generalized to doing that wasn't meant to be.

The fundamental problem is that people don't like change. I've encountered this a few times. I invent a system process to make a work flow simpler, people resist because they don't want learn.

One key example was an intranet out of office board. The secretaries maintained a list of who was in or out (context: 13 years ago with very little good groupware). Engineers would sign out the scratch themselves off. Was it consistent? No. The system was very simple and engineers loved it. Did the secretaries? Nope. Did it get traction? Nope.

The problem is that "best" is relative to people.
