What do you mean by loaded on demand? You can instantly scale up and down the amount of workers you have, if that's what you mean. I've been scaling mine around, and it's never taken more than a second or two. Although, maybe that would cha

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I'll explain why my company chose to use python. NOTE: We're a technical startup in the telecommunications industry. We build web-based telephony applications in addition to traditional phone-based

There are definitely lots of difficult things other than technical challenges that come up in business. Like you said: making sales, deciding which features to build, etc. I'm not saying that they are "easy", however they pale in comparison

They are launching later this week--this HN post is their first publicity (as far as I know). They literally just enabled the beta invites to attract some attention. It looks pretty good on the inside. Sort of an amazon.com with bitcoin.

I just let it ride at the time. When I joined the company there wasn't any other tech guy around except me (our tech guy was on a vacation). So I was left alone for a while, and had to sort out of lot of craziness :)
