Neat. I like the fresh take on validation. It’s not necessarily unique, but it may be cleaner / more efficient than previous attempts. The mixing of backend processing and the http…

Normalization matters. Well put.

Congrats! That's a big war chest to go to market.

Awesome news. Was very happy to invest. I wish this existed for onboarding when we were scaling Cloudant.

It's also popular to price a seed round (from 500k up, in my experience) using the "Series Seed" legal documents that are close to boilerplate now. As a founder turned investor, it…

That part is, in my experience, vanishingly cheap if you're not doing high rate DB transactions. The whole thing could clearly be moved to other managed hosting providers or privat…

I think the pro is 'feed-able', wonder if that's it.

Take a look at the specs -- you can either vent them out a window or buy the air filter (which I'm guessing is a fancy charcoal scrubber, don't know for sure).

Good question for somebody on the GF team. My last company was Cloudant so my biases are pretty obvious.

This one I actually know -- biohazards depend on more than just wattage -- spot size, wavelength, pulse characteristics, etc, all go into it. I think you really compare them based …

Good question, I _think_ the ideas is the exact opposite -- you're not depending on Glowforge UI to be backed by a startups servers, the software runs on google cloud instead. Pros…

I ordered one, wish I could pick it up in person instead of paying the shipping. Particularly interested in seeing what one can do with just a pen and skipping the computer design …

Will give it a spin.

Good points.

Hey, that's a million times prettier. Maybe you could drop some of that UI goodness onto the public hind-cite dataset?

Good thought. I've been trying to think of how to do that without crawling the comments, too.

In our spare time, we're researching this dataset in detail. Here are some questions that we're interested in. Would love to hear other ideas and to have folks dig into the data. I…

Actually, the majority of our servers have been on SL bare metal since ~2010.

Very cool. I like the way that you show 'means vs time' on the left panel and then you can dig into the actual distribution on the right panel. FYI, I think that, e.g., http://weat…

Sure, nobody claims that CouchDB is the first to have replication. MVCC was invented decades back, and hash trees have been around forever. I believe those two combined are compell…

I agree with some but not all of what you write. 0) CouchDB will never lose your data. Period. Not many other stores are 'append only, copy on write'. If you're data is transient, …

There is indeed a deterministic but arbitrary choice of the "winner", but there is a big difference with other systems -- no data is discarded. The hash tree branches and both edit…

High level -- what's it like writing for windows mobile vs iOS/android?
