Strong incentive to dive in to CloudFront CDN it seems. Transfer from AWS to CloudFront 'edge' caches is now free, and outgoing from CloudFront to the internet is nearly 30% cheaper all of a sudden.
I don't find it aggressive, it seems more like Dutch directness to me. As an inhabitant of a neighbouring country, I must say it's an acquired taste ;)
This is really neat! Congratulations to Ben for another great feature.
I don't know if it's coincidence, or maybe personal bias, but since going Open Source the pace of improvements to Feedbin has really picked up.
I subscribe to a metric ton of travel-hacking blogs, gathering all the discounts, promotions,... and now I can finally filter out all the loyalty programs I don't use. Super handy.
Not right now, but soon (in a few weeks - months) there will be a whole avalanche of laptops coming out based on Intel's Ultrabook platform; very much 'inspired' by the MacBook Air.
I don't really want it per se, but isn't this quite similar to pixelpipe? Since that service already exists since 2007 or so and they recently (April) raised some $2.3M, there must be quite some people who _do_ want it.
You've got to be kidding! Think about it, Clippy wasn't really all that bad; he was always there for you, giving handy tips & tricks. But most of all, his funny animations provided a ray of light when you needed it most - when any of the above applications had driven you mad once _again_.
1) Poor separation between content and presentation
2) Way too many features enabled by default.
3) Bulleted lists don't always indent in predictable fashion, which is annoying
4) When cooperating with a few people things go really bad, really quick (track changes, I'm looking at you). For example: header styles start to change, lists of tables start randomly missing items, references start failing,..
5) Numerous other layout issues that slowly drive you mad each time you have to use word
In all seriousness, this is actually my main use case for the private browsing mode in chrome: to search google without the filter bubble(1)
It's quite shocking to see just how much those results differ from the ones I'm usually served, actually.
I know it's actually supposed to be 'awesome' to have every search tailored to _you_, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable that I'm not seeing the internet "the way it's supposed to be seen" - if that makes any sense.
(1): Or at least a smaller bubble, considering it still knows my location - even though i use google.com, my os, my browser, etc...
Hey everyone, I have a semi-related question (since it's briefly mentioned in the article): is it possible to make a decent salary exclusively by doing freelance work through vWorker (rentacoder) and the likes?
