Very cool. I've been looking at spatial databases and the fact that I could get MongoDB running on a free plan (e.g. with MongoLab and MongoHQ) made me go that way. (for now) PostGIS has been available on Heroku's dedicated DBs ( https://de

The school (i.e. ENS Lyon), honestly I understand that it's there, but the high school and prep school? Probably not necessary. (even if it's Louis Legrand… :) ) To be fair with France, I would be surprised if Stanford grads don't mention i

One reason to do it at the last minute is not to leave a chance for competitors to react, as demonstrated by the parent post actually: they saw promising results early on, relaxed and went for a nice dinner and just checked later.

It looks from other comments that CVs are slightly different than resumes (I really had no idea, I just thought "resume" was a wording preference in the US), but I'll question your mention of your high school and "classes prépa"… M.Sc. from

Doesn't this fall under the already-existing title of Product Manager? The way I look at what a PM does, this is exactly it: knowing the technical aspects enough to figure out what is possible and detail it for engineering to build. It does

The second paragraph does say: "now with Dropbox you can automatically upload from just about any camera, tablet, SD card or smartphone — pretty much anything that takes photos or videos!" So it was confusing. I looked through the iPhone ap

Good point, and most likely not. I'm not very familiar with the background process APIs, but from my understanding of it, I'd be surprised if you were able to do that. In my comment I was mostly thinking of automatic upload as the user uses

As far as I know, the answer to your first question is "yes". (I haven't tested it myself but I have seen it used in apps to display a custom photo picker. E.g. in Camera+) See documentation for ALAssetsLibrary: http://developer.apple.com/

One thing I commend you for is to ask when I want to receive the email. It's surprising that barely any mailing-list or newsletter lets you pick that…

Ok. The fact that you're doing a Kickstarter project confused me a bit, but the explanations in other comments make sense in your context. By doing this, you get validation of your product, plus the money and a much better position when you

"can't be associated with a current active term commitment" That part is not clear to me. At first sight, it seems to mean that the phone to be unlocked can't be currently associated with a working AT&T account. Meaning, if I use it rig

The writing style reminded me a lot of the book "Leadership and self-deception" ( http://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Self-Deception-Getting-out-... ) in which a guy shows up at a new job and gets a day-long welcoming from the CEO, during whic

I would hide the current votes of the paired videos before the user votes on them. (with maybe the option of seeing the scores but without being able to vote afterwards) I'd think it would influence one's vote.

I know what you mean. These days, I've been searching for things about Flask with Heroku. So I tend to search for something like "python flask heroku sqlite", and often times, I get results that are not specific to Flask. (NB: I don't know

I know I could just hire someone else to make them, but the joy (to me) is in the process, not the goal. I want to learn these programming techniques so well that I can quickly create all my future ideas, too. Very interesting for me to r

I'm not a big fan of Loic Le Meur's personality (too much "in your face" for my taste), but this is very nice of him. I have heard and read the "I'll do everything I can to help you find something else", "do not hesitate to reach out to me"

"You'll only know if you're inside the company" rings true. Absolutely! I wanted to add a disclaimer that I have no idea how it really goes on the inside, but my bus stop was coming up. :) My comment in this thread are all from the percep

I could see that from EMC's point of view. But Pivotal would still have to accept their offer and I'm thinking they had no difficulties finding clients and the owners probably had enough money to retire already. EMC must have sold them on s

That's when open-sourcing vs. closing it down (if that were to happen) would be fantastic. (cf. one HN discussion from today about that) If Pivotal Tracker were to disappear, that would be quite the disaster for a lot of people.

My first reaction was to say "wtf" out loud. It's just that EMC and Pivotal Labs to me represents kind of opposites in the spectrum: EMC is the established old-school hardware company, while Pivotal Labs is the cool software consultancy tha

I'm curious about that as well. I know of two companies that sell movie theater schedule datasets (through data dump or API): Tribune Media Services ( http://www.tribunemediaservices.com/ ) and West World Media ( http://www.westworldmedia.c

In this case, it's not about knowing the law or not, but about knowing which sites have contracts with the right owners. I can access the laws that say it's illegal, but I don't have access to the contracts (or the absence of contracts…) th

Speaking of the general public, how does Joe Smith know that Hulu's stream of "The Office" is legal but some other site's is not? That's been my biggest question about streaming. On one hand I can google "watch the office online for free"

Yes, but to some extent only. (and typically the "idea guys" don't have a clue of the technical reality behind their "genius" idea) To me, there's actually a difference between knowing how to code and knowing the technology. You can know ho

I would extend that to Revision3. I'm not sure how successful they are financially but just based on the fact that they're still around with many many shows going, I'd guess they're doing just fine.

There's a distinction to be made between "idea guys" and "product people". You're criticizing "idea guys", while it seems that Kevin Rose might be more of a product person. The "idea guy" is the guy who comes to a developer and start with "
