So, any way for legitimately interested people from banned countries to sign up other than waiting?

If you grow from 10 to 15, 20, 25 etc., each time, even though you are adding 5, it is a smaller percentage of what you had. In this example, you would be adding 50% to go from 10 to 15, then 33% to go from 15 to 20, then 25% etc. Growth is linear, but growth rate is decreasing.

It reminded me another Apple ad, though surely it is not a copy

On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984"

I have submitted my email twice and did not get any confirmation, neither on page, nor in my inbox. Not sure if this is by design or bug, but confusing in either case.

I also had to close Tasks in bottom right corner, to see a button to switch to new design.

using a search dropdown just adds those operators automatically, so manual typing should work exactly the same

Not to mention, that if you _really_ need to, you can spin cloud instances at Softlayer as well. We are running on dedicated hardware most of the time, but if we anticipate a temporary and significant influx of the traffic, we run a few additional pre-built Cloud Computing Units (as they call it) and are ready in 20 minutes.
This reminds of wonderful book - "Economics in One Lesson". Written half a century ago it describes most economy fallacies, that are dominating even among intelligent people. If you didn't know, you would think it was written today.

There is a chapter on "The curse of machinery" (read online - http://www.fee.org/library/books/economics-in-one-lesson/#0....), that explains why this whole post is thousand years long delusion, that keeps coming back every decade or so.

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to understand true fundamentals of the sound economies.

Funny, I had to reread title 4 times after your post to spot the difference

especially when it can be replaced with one line

echo "[[ -s $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] && . $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc

If anything, their market cap means they are hugely overvalued.

P/E is 581! This is 5 times more than even facebook :) and 400 times more than Apple.

They might be awesome, but unless you scroll down to the very bottom and notice a small note, you would think this a free service. I felt like being deceived and immediately closed the website after signup confirmation, when asked to enter credit card details.

I may have paid if I knew it upfront, but this kind of approach is so annoying, that I would prefer not to pay just because of that.
