don't really know what the power requirements are for his device as it currently stands. generating enough power in space would probably weigh enough to make the effects of the cur…

> We found a few really nice features in their cloud products Such a tease. What cool features did you come across?

Watched the video, don't think they mentioned it... any idea how fast it is? They said it can fly for up to 5 days, but without knowing cruising speed it's hard to say how useful i…

Does anyone know if its possible to use YCombinator's SAFE Documents (http://ycombinator.com/safe/) if you are structured as an LLC now but plan on converting to an Inc. once you c…

regarding #1, I don't believe he's talking about someone who has chained together a bunch of jobs spending a year at each. Having "The same year of experience X times over" general…

hard to say but I'm pretty sure the parent was dripping with sarcasm.

could easily knock multiple thousand bucks off of that by just reserving the ec2 servers you know you'll need, plus reserve the cloudfront bandwidth you know you'll need (for the a…

sure, all of that is possible. but honestly how likely is it that some or all of those things are the case on the direct path from netflix/youtube through the ISP in question to so…

More to the point, why would a profitable company who wants to stay small take VC money?

http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ the reserved capacity pricing is much better than the on demand pricing. Basically like EC2 on demand vs reservations. We set our reserved…

I have mixed feelings about this, but my gut reaction is that it's not acceptable. Mainly because inexperienced programmers tend to cobble together functional apps by leaning heavi…

Our business has been profitable from the start and is now a pretty comfortable lifestyle business, but I don't know as any of us want to still be running it 10-20 years from now, …

that's a little bit disingenuous. google pays huge amounts of money to Mozilla to be the default search engine because of the huge amounts of money Mozilla users make google by usi…

I haven't used either elasticsearch or solr, so I don't have firsthand experience on how they compare to Sphinx search ( http://sphinxsearch.com ) but I really love Sphinx. Also in…

it should be roughly equivalent to knowing the salt of the hash you're attempting to crack, right?

Do you specifically want it for sale if you don't expect it to sell many copies, or are you just looking to have your music out there? There are sites you can put music out there f…
