Do you remember your password?

From the Ethereum presale message:

    You are about to make an ether purchase. Please keep the attached wallet file safe. It will serve as a cryptographic receipt of your purchase, along with your password.

    The password you created and entered on the sale site is the key to your ether so please do not forget it. And please note: there are no mechanisms in place that will enable the Ethereum team to help you recover a lost password. Once it is lost, your purchased ether will be permanently inaccessible.

Oh okay I see. I thought you meant you were using Amazon Web Services to do something or host something borderline illegal, which I have actually seen a couple times while working here.

Probably doing something that violates TOS or something borderline illegal. I see cases like his all the time on various forums and they seems to be missing some important details...

>X1 instances will feature up to 2 TB of memory, a full order of magnitude larger than the current generation of high-memory instances. These instances are designed for demanding enterprise workloads including production installations of SAP HANA, Microsoft SQL Server, Apache Spark, and Presto.

>The X1 instances will be powered by up to four Intel® Xeon® E7 processors. The processors have high memory bandwidth and large L3 caches, both designed to support high-performance, memory-bound applications. With over 100 vCPUs, these instances will be able to handle highly concurrent workloads with ease.

Can't wait to launch one of these.

Thank god. There are too many third party WAFs that drop SSL connections and Amazon does not support those.

Not sure you know how the algorithms on reddit or hacker news work but typically they are a function of some combination of log(upvotes) and time. The log function (or some closely related function that hacker news may use) ensures that the first couple votes are the most crucial to bring submissions higher on the front page. That being said, the variance on these first votes are high and basically determine whether or not the submission will be successful. Date and time also greatly affect how popular an article will be. Thus the re-submissions.
