Technically, using the billing alarm, you can use the APIs to shut down [respectively] all services.

Nothing concrete, all this was verbal. The whole idea is about allowing L for small companies like startups. And O for startup founders who have gone through accelerator programs since that's an "extra-ordinary" ability. I am crossing my fi

Vivek, I tried signing up using Github but it threw the following error: The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

I got the details from Paul Ford, he is one of my mentors and is on the panel. Also, Doug Rand confirmed this at the GAN conference.

EIR[1] has worked on a temporary solution to resolve this by re-interpreting the laws for L and O making it more startup friendly. This was further confirmed by Doug Rand (from whitehouse) at GAN[2] conference but no ETA on formalization. [

This is why I switched from staying in hotels to AirBnB houses. The best place turned out to be Startup House where I am currently staying longer than anywhere else in a month. As my current startup stabilizes, I intend to live in more citi

Possibly but there are bigger companies using RDS in production – also, the multi-az feature had worked out better than my own custom setup. Unfortunately lack of resources prevent me from rolling out my own setup on bare metal.

Haha, I probably should. A friend of mine has already suggested I would be better off doing a PaaS startup because of my sysops skills. I always felt the market is currently too saturated. But looking at Heroku having trouble themselves, ma

as a matter of fact, our app is using multi-zones not just for instances but also for RDS. As of now, I can't reach anything including the loadbalancer.

I was planning to launch our startup in a few hours. Oh well.

Oh the Oxford comma, how I have missed thee. On the other hand, gret post and interesting to see such a quality turnaround.

Neat, just what I had in mind - powered by Stripe. Fee looks a bit steep though.

How about Kickstarter as a service [1] (forked off Selfstarter or similar code) itself? They could especially target Kickstarter rejects. 1. Useful for those who cannot (or are too lazy to) code - instant setup. 2. Cut out the middle man an

How about onscreen keyboards? They will still work, right? Funny how they are supposed to "beef up" security.

My point is against doing nothing. Having incorporated recently, I firmly believe incorporation is the way to go. Although, my lawyer is friendly, gets thing done fast and charges very low.

Joel, good points but I would advise going with at least an LLC/LLP when more than one founder. Makes things more official and easier to do business (payment gateways, etc). Also, it takes around $100 and 5 minutes on an online form to set
