Karam/Shubhendu, Really kicked to see something from my neck of the woods with great potential out in the market. Congratulations on the launch. I'm assuming it will take​ signific…

Common mode of infection I have seen with Wordpress is through site owners downloading premium themes that have been uploaded into file sharing sites by malware authors. The site o…

Had written about this a while ago: http://frontiernxt.com/hybrid-entertainment-free-roam-networ... Kjellberg maybe the biggest personality, but there is a significant group of peo…

RSS was never meant to be a product. It is a format and a spec. Products are built around the spec: apps that push it, clients that pull it. It has incredible value where machines …

It was also only a year ago I said “Automattic is healthy, generating cash, and already growing as fast as it can so there’s no need for the company to raise money directly — we’re…

If you have the time, there is a good Coursera course on the domain: https://www.coursera.org/course/modelthinking

I have kind of stumbled on to the same line, though I'm in the early stages of getting over the shock of it all as it was not something I was looking to do and considering where I …

Looks like it uses Rails & Boiler? Why not outsource the missing bits, get it to MVP and explore options?

Bubble 1.0 was greed without the knowledge on how to value digital companies properly. This phase is greed even after knowing how to value digital companies properly. You will come…

It has been quite easy for a few years now to put together your own setup on a VPS and run with it. IIRC, I started doing this somewhere around 2008, during the heydays of Slicehos…

What is the kind of traffic total/concurrent at peak that you serve?

Not on the desktop, but in Opera Mini there have been product placements on both the home screen and speed dial screens for a while. I'm somewhat OK with it, considering it is a fr…

It is a bit frustrating to see the NSA angle in everything these days. Going by the same logic, it is very likely that they are tapping into the backbones, should we then be less e…

$this->app['component']->function() gives me an instant headache. Which is why I always wind up giving up on Symfony/Silex after trying it out every now and then. OTOH, I had a muc…

Replying to the reply to my parent comment, since I seem to have reached HN's nesting limit. Forms of control are not always very direct. Let us, hypothetically, say the big state …

But you do recognize that people are buying Bitcoins using the day-to-day authoritarian tools, right? This is the equivalent of popularization of denims as a statement of rebellion…

Indulge me here for a bit; but how does a multi-million dollar investment (raised from the same existing authoritarian framework) into Bitcoins make it anti-authoritarian? Best cas…

Bitcoin is the most promising of derivatives to come into the market in recent years. And as far as derivatives go, something that has no formal structure controlling or regulating…

Congrats. This looks pretty neat, especially since it uses Composer. Does it do the whole autoloader song and dance with Composer? Example: If I add Guzzle to Composer, can I call …

Guess one valid scenario is to use this as the base for a child theme.

Thanks, had to read up on what exactly is a materialized view. Not something I was familiar with.

One example is a CMS. An article these days is a title, body and 5-10 comments, and whatever other metadata that you would want to present on a page. Don't update the corresponding…

Thanks, there are some good numbers to chew on there, though, I am always skeptical about projects, thanks to IDC/Garntner. From the little I have seen of NoSQL, I like it as a nic…

Hey Slava, First up, congrats. Whatever the back story is, getting funded (save runaway revenue/profits/margins) is always a crucial inflection point in a company/product's lifecyc…
