Re:Hackers nab $500k as Enigma is compromised weeks before its ICO on Tuesday August 22, 2017 @02:48PM (#15075303)

There are a lot of scams on the web, but you don't blame the HTTP protocol. There are a lot of email scams, but you don't blame SMTP. Sad to see the dominant view of this community is against any type of cryptocurrency.

What contributed the most to kill their business is that now Google displays lyric results inline. Your are in great risk if Google can just replace your business by displaying it inline when people are searching.

Re:Man sued for $30K over $40 printer he sold on Craigslist on Monday June 06, 2016 @03:25PM (#11849547)

This technique is also used by debt collectors. They sue and most often people ignore a court action. This causes a default judgment against you. This will give them a power to garnish your wages, place lien against your property and even freeze your bank account.

If someone creates a Juju Charm https://jujucharms.com for this, then you can use the pre-configured service on any of the major public clouds.

Ask HN: Which cloud provider to use in 2016? AWS or GCE?

Posted by tzz on Sunday April 17, 2016 @02:05PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Few years ago, I would have chosen AWS over GCE. Now, I am starting new project and need to reexamine which cloud provider to use. If you are starting new project in 2016, which cloud provider do you choose? AWS or GCE? They both seems to provide the services I need such as database, storage, scalability etc.Correction: I meant to say Google Cloud Platform instead of GCE.

Re:Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage on Tuesday September 22, 2015 @08:02PM (#10262569)

Nine months ago, I said the following. It feels good to predict things before they happen:

Backblaze should expand their service to a cheaper cloud storage service similar to Amazon S3. They already have the infrastructure and the know-how.

Actually, they are in better position to be acquired by the existing bigger luggage companies in few years. It is a lot easier for the bigger luggage companies to acquire them than create a software/hardware group.
