From what I've seen, the tent protocol (and service) is more complex than OStatus, and capable of a lot more. To me, tent.io is more like a distributed tumblr than twitter.

I think it's really good. One thing I'd change (not that I'm a good writer/blogger) is a clearer description in the first paragraph of why you'd want to do this. "By using context aware caching, you can achieve high levels of caching for bo

I still get something like 100 visitors a day to an old blog post [1] I did on wordpress performance, and emails most weeks asking for additional information. It's slightly depressing that wordpress itself doesn't ship with a decent basic c

They can choose to pay for 2 days, or 3 days - it's either 4 hours more, or 4 hours less for them, it's not going to break the bank financially either way. If you can find a client who only wants you for 2 hours a week, would you take it? I

"You really need to provide real value and have your users perceive this value in order to make money." This will always be true, no matter the business model involved.

Windows isn't a premium product, but Office definitely still is. It costs significantly more than Apple's (or anyone else's) equivalents, and still sells by the bucket load. The fact that surface (and other win8 tablets) can run Office give

How long have they owned it? There's lots of people (it seems everyone on HN for a start), who buy domains "for a project" that never quite gets started, and end up owning 20-30 domains. In general, I think those kind of domains will sell f
