Brilliant, thank you very much!

That all sounds really interesting and I'd love to read more on that. Do you have a book or an article that would be a good start on reading up on this?

Which ones do you think have potential? I'm asking because I'm on the list and would like to know what you think.

I'm on the list, too, and I could understand downvotes (if people don't like the links), but vicious comments... I don't get why people do that. I think most people don't realize h…

There are also other things you could monetize that would make it easier for people to open their wallets. Customization is probably a good thing, i.e. the subdomain and own-domain…

2) I see, but that still means that the data is shown twice, doesn't it? Once in the little bar-graphy-thingy to the right and once in the name placement. 3) Both structural and co…

Looks pretty great so far, and I really like the pages you're creating. Just a handful of things: 1. I don't like logging in with my Google Account. I can see that you're using my …

There's also "Cabel car" instead of "Cable car" in the Hammetschwand demo page.

I edited to add the disclaimer. Thanks for calling me out on that. I understand that most people on HN will probably use Glacier directly, and that is totally OK. The service that …

Note that Glacier+Arq also allows you something entirely different from CrashPlan and incremental backups: Data archives. I.e. you can store data there cheaply that you don't have …

That is indeed true, there are currently no mechanisms in place for ensuring users' data in case of insolvency. However, we're working on getting an escrow agreement in place that …

Do you show the free quota in the UI as well? Or is there any option to tell it to always stay below the free quota?

Actually, even in your use case, the cost of glacier (or some other service like http://bit-chest.com/ ) is justified. However, you have to see it as a kind of "fire insurance" for…

For people who just want to put their data on Glacier without having to worry about the details, there's also Bit Chest at http://bit-chest.com/ It works more or less the same as G…

That sounds totally wrong. As others have pointed out, specialization is the main ingredient in successful division of labor. Read my variant at http://shezi.posterous.com/over-spe…
