Sure valid point, either way the founders should not complain too much as a FB stock option and job will work our just perfect, if FB ever goes public.
You hit the nail on the head here, this is the new "Space" and massively valuable - very much an un-touch niche market. To be able to silently accumulate 10m happy users is hugely impressive. The analytical info on 10m active users (file types sizes etc) is why they shut it down, to absorb that info and change FB for the long term. Maybe a more private FB in future for users that don't want News Feeds etc.
Maybe image uploads are killing FB bandwidth per user quota? So excessive users could be offered a premium service for a vault like back-up of high res images. As most original images are uploaded only to be optimised, yet those images might last much longer on FB than with the user.
Hey for those of you in the US no problem, it's 10pm here in London and pg said we might be notified before 10pm pt. Nails I can bite, but sleep now...you joking right!
Same here in the Netherlands. It's almost midnight, so it looks like I'm pulling an allnighter again. It's all good though, might as well get some work done!
Good point ilamont, I wonder if they have a'users vs risk' load balancer built into the search for the rate. For instance if 100k people tried for the same rate at the same time, would it randomly change the rate to balance the risk?
I would expect this has something to do with the browser and where it indexes the results (pull this rate from) from to start with. As Firefox can deliver results from many search engines, I would love to know if Devin knew what Firefox was searching with at the time, Yahoo/ Bing or Google. If set to Google this could be a fantastic bench test to see what results are actually delivered from both browsers connected to Google.
