Your comment is racist - and certainly unCanadian.

What on earth does someone's race have to do with the housing market? Why does a person of Chinese decent have any less of a right to a) live in Vancouver, b) buy a house, c) have some economic success, d) drive an Audi?

I'm sorry you're upset about the state of housing in Canada, I really am. Fortunately for you - most desirable cities in the Canada ( and the World ) have Chinese residents so you wouldn't be happy living there anyways - all those signs in Chinese, and the Audis! Oh the humanity!


As a Canadian, I have to agree. Imagine someone in the States said something about blacks in Atlanta driving Bentleys.. There would be a riot. In Canada, however, it is cool to bash a whole race. This is not the first instance of this that I have seen and it does show true colours.


I've been visited by the shame police it seems, and you've extrapolated such an amazing amount over saying "wow there's a lot of rich Chinese here" that I wonder if you are doing some sort of parody I'm missing.


and you have to do that once... big deal.


but they make all of our lives better....


Why not just proxy your app through CharlesProxy?


With this library you don't need a Mac. You can simply check all requests in your app! It's very easy and handy ;)


So were we, but we stuck with it, and I'm glad.

App Engine is absolutely second to none as a PaaS. Fact is I sleep better at night on App Engine that I ever could on AWS.


Glad to hear it! So for my next brilliant idea, should I run it on GAE or Heroku?


Three words... Google App Engine.


Well done. Great service!


My Google contact said that 'SRE are all over it. Hope to have more details soon.' but that was about 30 minutes ago.

Does tumblr.com use app engine? They're down...


@tumblr (https://twitter.com/tumblr/status/261840787350896640)

Tumblr is experiencing network problems following an issue with one of our uplink providers. We will return to full service shortly.


We use this product extensively to analyse users who play our games. We record billions of rows of data per day and can query it effectively/efficiently with Big Query. It is a pretty awesome product and getting better all the time.


That's interesting, you are the only one in this thread who is using it.

Could you tell a bit more about for what kind of analytics you are using it ? And why you use BigQuery and not some other analytics solution (Mixpanel, Kontagent, Flurry etc.) for these scenarios ?


Facebook is worse.
