These days, closer to 1/2.

Interesting. Tarsnap and rsync.net seem to alternate coverage on HN, and for the longest time I kept forgetting they were different, even though I had vague sense of confusion.

This one is Colin Percival's project.

Uh, bringing a billion people onto the Internet for the first time, and turning the 3rd world into the 1st world, isn't most people's definition of soul-sucking.

The Hadoop team quit Yahoo to start HortonWorks last year.

Most of those Flickr users are dormant accounts, like mine.

....and you just said the manufacturer's name on a unrelated forum, so their ad campaign was a success.

Apple has a team devoted to making Apple products easy to use in productions, and aggressively courts producers. But they don't "pay". It's exactly the same as how companies send press releases (and demos) to lazy journalists to reprint as news.

Most of Netflix doesn't have ads.

My understanding is that the Hulu subscription pays for fixed overhead (and profit), and the ads pay for marginal licensing. That might be a lie, though.

TV shows are written in "acts", they are designed to be broken up. Ads may be a horrible distruption (so I suggest muting them and blocking or averting from the images), but for a good TV experience, you should take a break for a minute to let the previous act sink in before watching the next act.

You just pre-Godwin'ed the thread.

No one is required to take a job as a professional harasser. And if you really have sympathy for the employees, then consider that the more victims fight back, the fewer people would join the profession, and wages would increase, hurting the evil owners.

It wasn't free. Meal plan is a line item on the student bill.
