I wasn't "blabbing" about something I got away with. I reached out to Jason because I mistakenly thought that he might be willing to help a guy in a tight spot. I've never been in a situation like this before. That was obviously a mistak

I realize this contradicts the details Daniel's story. I'm trying to respect Daniel's wishes by not releasing transcipts of our conversations. However if Daniel feels that I wasn't fair or accurate then i'll release transcripts. I'll leave

I actually tried this a few months back. No longer works...at least not if you purchase the maximum order ($5,000).

Unfortunately there aren't very many names available to startups these days. You can thank domain squatters for that. Once we can afford to buy something nicer we'll probably get rid of Divvy. In the meantime we just have to take heart tha

Thanks for the heads up. We've had an unexpected rush of uploads this morning as the east coast woke up. We've started additional AWS Instances and things should be working normally and just a few minutes. UPDATE (9:52 PST): We now have 5

The java applet is a backup for older browsers. If you have firefox 3.6 just drag photos directly onto an event page. We'll expand support as soon as we can but we're at the mercy of the browsers here.

Nope - it was designed in house by Michael Yuan. Very talented guy. There are a couple CSS hacks in there that don't exist anywhere else on the 'net. Try to find them!

It's actually much more useful if you sort by popularity. There are about a dozen good Christmas songs in there: http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1261763009/ref=sr_st?rs=33489701...

It looks like a DNS issue, since while http://amazon.com isn't working for me http://72.21.207.65 is (kind of). EDIT: "No A records were found for amazon.com" http://www.zoneedit.com/lookup.html?host=amazon.com&type...

We're not talking about scaling by syncing more than 2 devices simultaneously. We're talking about scaling our user base. The problem is that we can only expect GPS to be accurate to 1-2km and the phone clocks are often off by 1+ seconds.

We noticed that too. We were even thinking we could end the video with something like this: http://www.realmofprosperity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/... Oh well, you can't get everything right.

The website is actually more powerful for long-distance transfers. For example, the recipient can download all the hi-res photos as a zip file. If you're not in person, just use the app email him a link to the event.

We considered a button but ended up going against it. It doesn't scale - the button doesn't give us enough data. People don't time their presses well enough and if the app becomes successful we'll have a hard time telling apart presses th

I don't understand how one of the largest states, which can supposedly benefit best from economies of scale, with one of the highest tax rates, can have such serious liquidity problems.

Accidentally deleted original post: "Email me and I can spot you some cash (if your story is legit)." Don't take it the wrong way, just one HNer helping another.
