If the web requests must be server-side, you can do it from a development server and then transfer the data, but if you want to do requests to APIs in real-time for users, then you need to use something client-side.

If you're getting timeouts for data operations, there are plenty of ways of batching your reads and writes. In short, I'm building my startup that I quit my job for on App Engine, and despite some fears I had, it's actually working pretty well so far.

I'm getting OverQuota errors for some image manipulation operations, so for those cases, it's up to the mercy of the App Engine team.

But in general, you just need to embrace the constraints, and you'll find a way to make it work.

"Both proprietary products and search engines can tell the real author from the fake. And by all means, plagiarism should be discouraged, as young plagiarists may eventually turn into adult spammers. And nobody wants that."

That might be an overstatement

This is a very good idea you have shared.

"Instead of PageRank, perhaps we could create a ProficiencyRank…."

How would this work?

The same way that this post gets better rank with comments?
