   My strong suggestion would be to make it free and charge 99 cents for a premium upgrade of some sorts and also give people a way to pay more if they want to (consumables). Two weeks is perfectly reasonable for an experianced iOS dev to get

   Valve comes to mind. Game makers were already doing this kind of centrailzed distribution long before it went mainstream but it was clear this would be the direction as broadband began to pick up around 2002-2003 as comcast and other cable

   From the end of the article: "But overall, it doesn't feel like a must-have upgrade to me." Except that Apple does not really fix many bugs in previous version of their software unless they are security issues or really huge problems that a

   Safari is not going anywhere and I don't think it's been overlooked in the upcoming OSX release. You will see more and parts of OSX pulled out, stuck in the app store, and their release cycles decoupled form that of the core os.

   See https://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic to help get Clojure working on App Engine. It's quite nice and the docs are pretty complete.

   Here is the thing, you can't just do one mobile app. You need to do 10, 20 or more. Grind it out at the low stakes tables until you have the capital (aka app install base, know how and cash) to play at the higher stakes tables. Install base

   From the pricing FAQ it looks like $99 for 4 instances is the minimum and then additional pro instances are 40 bucks each a month after that. https://www.dotcloud.com/pricing/pricing-faq/ EDIT: Also, +1 for a password reset feature to fir

   Thanks, I know how to get around them but I just don't think I will bother anymore. There is so much information out there that is just as interesting and freely available.

    I know some wealthy people and the first three points seem pretty spot on. I wonder what the last four points were. I think I'll flag articles behind pay-walls from now on.

    I think there is a lot of money to be made by startups that take on some of those uninteresting banking/financial domains - look for one of them. Also, take a look at Advent Software [1] if you are at all interested in moving to San Francis

    I think this will be useful for a lot of developers of iPhone/Adroid apps. Many don't have the know how (or time) to develop, run and maintain backend systems and it pushes the development cost way way up for clients and complicates our own

    I'm betting this "just" buys you the ability to sync all your music (and pretty much everything else that can go on your iphone) to every device you have over the air. I'm already spending that 30 bucks on Pandora One and I'm not sure the a

    FreshBooks, CrashPlan, GitHub, AWS (grudgingly - because I like building/running servers) and NetFlix. I am more likely to drop 20, 30 or even 100 bucks on some software that I may or may not use daily - it takes a lot more to get me to com

    I would prefer not to see pet related questions on hacker news but that's just me. However my friend has three cats in a way too small apartment and I still don't consider him crazy cat guy. (But you are pushing it buddy)

    I have ton's of respect for Andrew as well and that's why I had to comment about how your tool made me feel when I went to watch the video. I don't think it's a bad idea but I don't like how in your face it is and now we are talking about y

    How about a "Don't ever show me this again." option? I really resent being nagged like that right up front. At that point I don't even know if the video is something I want to share since I have not seen it yet. Or what about something less

    Agreed, and I saw the "No thanks, just show me the video" message too. This is still annoying. At times there is also a large popup nag to sign up for the newsletter or something like that on the site (I was already signed up because I like

    For my laptop (OSX) I use CrashPlan plus[1] for minute to minute backups of my entire home folder where all my data lives. I also use Dropbox but that's more for collaboration than backup. I occasionally boot with up with my OSX CD and use

    I personally really like mspack and msgpack-rpc. There are a tone of well supported implementations for various languages and there are some speed and other advantages over thrift and Protocol Buffers. The core implementation is written in
