We are. Neither of us grew up here, but the tech is great and the cost of living is fantastic comparatively. So we can be much more lean.

We don't keep much data around for a CDR, just who called, what time, and what happened to it. Even my number hasn't generated more than 1K of data thus far. I don't see that being a big problem for 10 years of someone&#x27

That is our current primary for the numbers I use, yes.

Oh how I want that support. Our trunk providers at the moment say they've got it coming and then we just turn it on after testing it, but until then we're at their mercy. Don't forget MMS in there, too. That's a huge

We're not a phone company, and we don't block them for you, we give you the tool to block it yourself, so yes. Yes it is a fix, just as much as any other app you could use to do such. For instance, my number (on that front page)

This is fair criticism. I'll address that. It seems to be common enough confusion for people.

Oh, sorry, I poorly worded that then (and have edited it to reflect as such to prevent further confusion, but your quote stands as good reference). You are correct that I do care about open source. I don't have much of a care about go

This is mentioned in the faq about porting numbers, but we also address it when someone requests a port so they don't have a bad experience (this is why it's currently a support request rather than a UI capability, until we'v

I agree. We were doing a soft launch to convert some beta customers to actual customers and get feedback, and the site was on the agenda for this upcoming week before announcing it. Then cue one of those customers posting to HN and now we

It is not based on Twilio, they're quite expensive, it's built on Freeswitch and normal fully open SIP/RTP protocols and what we're doing isn't exactly complex yet. I don't have a whole lot of care about going

Excellent questions, I'll field them as best I can, if there's clarification needed just ask. - Voice data passes through the POTS lines to our VoIP cluster, eventually getting routed to another call channel or to a recording. Fr

Thank you! I think we might be too far to the simplicity but we can err on that side for the moment and think about going closer to aesthetics people like as we go. We're devs and businessmen, not designers, but we have designer frie

I really like your having exposed me to more feature overlap there. Some things I didn't know about GV have been learned, thank you! I'm going to make some notes about things I like and improvements we might get to incorporate i

That's a fair reluctance and I can't take it away because at the end of the day you'll just have that lock-in with anyone. Such is the nature of telco lines. I have the same problem (having carried my home phone line throug

Good question. I think eventually it's a given probably using your data connection or any SIP phone or soft phones we might provide, but not yet, no. We're not sure of the value add here and it's a lot more work to get happe

I love GV, started with many years ago, but found it limiting (hence the push to Phone Janitor). Long-term plans depend on user desires, but right now you can do this on Phone Janitor, can you on GV? http://i.imgur.com/HTnJ

You are very correct. =c) This is why I won't be using that line as a security number in any case (but you can have my coupons, sure, I don't mind). I have another line for that. I'm glad someone else also thought of that

I think it helps to think of your story as a second product that sells the first. PR has a hell of a lot of moving parts, and could definitely be better serviced if you can provide for all of them. I like that it's been mentioned how

"I don't like X unenforceable thing" is the mark of our generation. Every tweet is public, and if anyone thinks they've protected them somehow, that is both unlikely to be true in all cases and definitely is missing the

Excellent for use as a teaching tool that will get some audiences excited about programming.

I've always had troubles with Factor. The suggestion is convert searches to "factorlang" but this has middling success.

This is a fair criticism of CEOs playing against employees. It's very true. That said, it's also disingenuous to thnk that CEOs are playing the same game as employees. That's why the two are at odds. If we're going t

Planned obsolescence through sabotaging a product (or at least its quality) is a universally bad thing in my opinion. Planned transition to an upgrade is not. Terms are probably going to muddy the conversation around the importance of the

Print traces and dumps were the only tools had for a long time, and quite frankly there are a lot of areas in programming where this is still the case (lots of embedded programming, for instance, and it's not likely you'll get a p

AWS doesn't target the same audience or have the same product line. They're related, but not at all the same product market. To illustrate this, AWS is infrastructure management tools, and DO is infrastructure management. The f

I once picked up a rubik's cube because I thought it would be related to a problem I was trying to solve at work, given the kinds of manipulations you could do on it. Turns out it wasn't at all, but I did learn a couple ways to s

I have to counter your detractor(s). Your message is calm, to the point, and thought provoking in an almost disconnected way. If anything I would have a hard time with the measure of professionalism you speak of the situation with. In ot

Social engineering will ALWAYS be the most effective means of compromising a system. If you can get the user to run a thing, you have got them to run anything you want forever. This is not a problem with VBA, VBA is merely providing funct
