This is the first time I hear about IFTTT. I like it very much. The name is terrible though. The other similar startup on HN, Zapier, has a much better, easier to remember name. I'd go as far as to suggest to change the name. Here's one: ap

I think I understand what IFTTT is, but I don't get the "IFFFT for business" tagline. How is IFTTT itself not for business? Is it just the different set of APIs supported? I assume IFTTT itself could add those at some point?

We were doing this as part of a fundraising process, so I'm not sure how it would go without that. I presume it'd be cheaper although I'd still want a lawyer involved. But, if there's no fundraising, then based on my experiences I wouldn't

I looked at the site, read this, but I still don't get it. I think you should have more a straightforward description instead of "Easiest way to find quality content." Also remember that you're releasing this for HN right now, so you can be

Visual Studio has an extension engine, you can download many extensions for free. Go to Tools > Extension Manager and browse away. There's one called Productivity Power Tools that we just install by default. Also, XCode has a nice featu

I don't think the OP is right in general. What if your customer sees Heroku's name, and gets confused? She starts asking questions like: Who is on the other end? Am I in business with X or with Heroku? Who should i call?

From experience (and MMM), let's say writing the software takes X mandays of effort. Making it run, and then run well inside a single organization with that organizations workload is 3x multiplier. Turning it into something that can be sold

Their goal with the hieararchy is to create "table groups", ie. [regions of] groups of tables that stick together in terms of _sharding_, achieved by looking at the primary key (PK) of the root table in their case, which if you notice is sh

by Maro 14y ago
If you look at the example tables, what they're doing is sharding based on customerID, so sections of those tables with the same customerID "stick" together and are guaranteed to be stored together, on the same machine(s) (plural because of

Thanks for all the answers to my rant. I'm a regular customer at iStockphoto, but for some reason I wasn't aware of higher-end options like Getty. Based on some of the comments is this thread it seems to me their business model is like "Ent

To answer your question, no I'm not. My major problem was with the problematic question about the license, which I feel are impossible to answer precisely for an average small business owner with 5 minutes on his hand, which then leads to a

Those pictures look really nice, so I clicked through to see how much it would cost to use them on a website. It asked me all kind of bullshit questions like which industry I want to use them in, whether it's a site or an ad, TBH I don't th

I guess I meant if they make their pricing more aggressive so users like myself also have to pay for it. Eg. you have to pay if you have more than 1 notebook or use it on more than 2 devices...

I have Evernote installed on all my machines and use it regularly. If they started charging for it I'd probably pay $5/month for it. Assuming 20M active users and a sky-high 10% conversion rate [+] at $5/month gives $120M/year in revenue, w

On the other hand, there are plenty of people with determination and focus who aren't successful in the Instagram sense of walking away with $100M+ after 2 years of work.

Bubble was my first thought, but then I read the article and this actually sounds pretty sensible. In cases like this one must keep in mind that $3.4M for a company isn't that much, you can spend that easily on salaries and marketing.

Assuming first GET will succeed and return quickly in 99.9..9% of the cases, so always sending a second GET seems wasteful, as it would put constant additional load on the network, CPUs and disks.

Depends on what early-stage means. If that means no funding money, then this statement is simply not true in many cases. Suppose you're tring to sell software and support. How are you going to sell a 1-year support contract if the customer
