I could understand reasons for their support for VP8. But "superior quality" is definitely not a strength on VP8 side.

Opus, A lot better, it is a rather strange beast that it nearly manage to outperform in every category. With a bit more tuning work for a year or two it could properly be on the same level with AAC @ …

Really? Well may be they are for the big boys, none of the commonly used CDN advertise it, All Hosting providers reselling Level 3, Akamai, EdgeCast, NetDNA or even Amazon Cloudfront dont show it eith…

I have similar concern as well. Is there any way to use Cloudflare with other DNS like DNS Made Easy?

I think the Design is good on first sight but doesn't carry over with time. It is the excitement in graphics but little in design philosophy. Compare to Android 4.0 and Apple.

May be Intel has paid them to publish these numbers? Otherwise I have no idea why they are stupid enough to post it on the net.

Since you manage to survive using shared host, your proberly dont need a "best" host as most of the host ( VPS ) will be good enough for you. Check out Linode or Dediserve.

Same thoughts here. I could never understand why anyone would go with AWS EC2. It is expensive and slow. You could get much better deals from other dedicated providers or cloud providers. Route53 is o…

I was going to ask, is this something new for CDN or do others like Akamai and EdgeCast offers something similar?

Apple are great in many areas and things but absolutely poor in Internet services. They need to seriously overhaul that software department.

Can you really just bring back the whole Asteroid? I mean without even knowing what exactly is inside and extraterrestrial hazard?
But As somebody pointed out the operation cost does not yet make t…

I am not sure if anyone on HN know what is Line. Since US / EU uses Whatsapp.

But LuaJIT 2 is insanely fast, even the Heavy / Fast Ruby isn't even anywhere near its speed. So why would one choose mRuby over Lua?
comment
Why the heck are they making an Old, soon to be unused Ruby 1.8.3 as ISO standard. They should be thinking about 2.0 instead.

I have no idea about broad meetings, how many % do you need in meetings to make such a move? I was under the assumption you only need over 50%, which he has already. Or is it different US?

Is making those compiler features simple and easy? I was wondering why Rails.app need $25,000 while this is like half the price.

That is another part i like about Server Side Rendering. You have much more control. Rendering Web Page would work well with your 1Ghz Machine.

Buying Back Stocks or Dividend doesn't do any good for Apple, Apart from its shareholders. I am thinking on Worldwide Data Carrier Network. But Apple doesn't own ANY frequency spectrum. And there isn'…

JD is very good, but sorry to say he is not even close to being next SJ.

It will still take time to build
Bring in new customers who are using Hipchat
Bring in new talent.
