Google has published Spanner, a new database system, paper and world has stunned again. Most interesting feature is ability to serve (transparently) from geographically seperate data centers. It's a flexible "database" for serving requests ranging from ad display to analytics to search queries. OTOH, Facebook did the global-multi-DC for analytics seemingly because they (FB) talk Hadoop only not...
is there any public or industry group registry for those movies?

Alex public memcached development at Facebook seems to stopped for the last ~2 years. Is it really the case or still improving but not making it public? Also can we expect management tools for memcached in the future from Facebook?
Explanation is rather confusing. Cloudstack is analogous only to OpenStack Compute and does not have specific storage part, right?
Thanks for the response. Sorry but I'm confused. So future major/minor releases are free to upgrade for license owners?
I have a question. Does early adopter license cover future major/minor releases?
i'm assuming you're not joking. it's "browser recognition" and this value is generally 99.9% for paid providers.
Do StartSSL issued free 1-domain certificates valid for all major desktop and mobile browsers? Can anyone confirm this? Most cert providers claim almost always 99% and above comptability but they dont claim any percent value on their website.
it seems like getting founders to Motorola and Wufoo is ridiculously profitable? really? i'm surprised.
you're in no position to tell me what i say! it's simply awkard to use a license like that. also you, yourself, admitted the conflict of client vs server licensing. why this is so? because they want widest usage. they release open source software not because they love developers but because they have to. returning to the point apache or gpl projects have strong commercial backing from big companies to start-ups and knowing this i'm asking there must be a real reason why they did choose agpl over gpl or apache. btw, it's their choice i respect that as well.
i dont get why do they still stick with agpl. there are a lot more _companies_ built on products with licenses other than agpl, such as, wildly popular apache projects. even microsoft releasing code with apache license but not mongodb guys!
* there are alternatives but the backers give this project one up. * web site needs a significant overhaul. * this was a commercial product, if i am not mistaken, and just recently opened up. * is this forked off memcached or just another NoSQL with memcached compatibility is still a mystery.

afaik, amazon does not use this kind of tech, at least for most of the shipments. does anyone know why? not ready for amazon-scale operations?
i think software analogy is not quite right. after sw is released next iterations or "sequels" are generally refinement of the first. movies are not.
From YC speech: "I think I had about 15 employees by then."
they could be using in-memory compression. they could be storing hot parts of index in memory. they could be using both.
how did you decrease 7 MB to 0.5 MB? only by removing unneeded modules?

I would like to learn about basics of a simple trade/stock market and how to build/run one. - I have no background on this subject. - Final product will be a game like software. Any url or advice will be greatly appreciated.
if google is a search provider mapquest or other map engine results should have been there like it does web content from yahoo or microsoft.
i'm sure you know but, fyi, canon a480 is not that high quality p&s camera.
i remember as there was an article or comment on hn about how zynga used mail marketing aggresively.
can you elaborate more on those reasons? (just asking)
it's more correct to say that ms has "integrated" tcp/ip into windows.
open standard is not open just because there are no loyalties. a standard is open when it's managed by a consortium or task force. OpenGL is one, for example.
a few numbers would have been better than 5.5.4 is very exciting
very little content for an HN thread so it may be converted into a tweet: OMG, IMVU Memcached @ 150k RPS per node!
