I think a lot of people would try to use other services if this goes through.

You're on the wrong website. May I suggest www.reddit.com

Think of it the other way around, their engineers didn't optimize any queries and they don't have a dba watching for table scans or nested loop joins. To the amateur crowd it looks like "wow optimization" but if you've been developing seri

I've been using the rackspace cloud servers for almost two years and aside from their slow control panel (please someone give them a ui/ux person) it's a great service that is very simple to use and has been incredibly reliable.

That sure is a lot of steps when compared to Heroku... that's why Rails is gaining so fast on Python.

This blog post has a commission link to the service he subscribes to (or is advertising). I've had less downtime with google apps than I had with any other solution and I don't have to spend time managing it. Google spam filters are effect

not reality - since they changed sides of the bed from the start to the end of the commercial - totally unrealistic.

We use CouchDB and Python to backup your salesforce.com data which allows us to capture all your history and then when you're ready to take a local mirror, we can just use the CouchDB mirror function to send you all the data on an ongoing b

I can't believe this link is being recycled through hackernews and reddit - it's a year old. I wish part of the semantic web was a tag to communicate to news aggregator sites the published date so there could be a "NOT NEWS" warning. ;)

If you have to ask this question you must not be a good friend. You have to talk to your friend about how they would feel if you pursued the employee first if you care about your friendship.

Unfortunately it's all raw transcripts - no journalism and the questions are basically "how much money did you make?" instead of diving dynamically into how they learned and grew their businesses.

I usually make a spreadsheet to figure out if I can make any money on it and the adjust the prices and customer numbers and marketing cost until I figure out if it's worth while to invest additional time.

Most people are no good at business - and you're not filtering out successful people to give you advice on a business idea. There are meetup.com groups for entrepreneurs which are usually just people with full time jobs fantasizing about n

200/hr is standard for a few business oriented developer technologies. The technologies are typically boring and unpleasant to work with and you have to actually talk to business users (something devs usually hate). It may not be the tech

Good luck changing a flat.

It's sad that they took it to this level, but Gawker hopefully learned a lesson from this and in the process and so did pretty much every other big content publishing site. I would say this is an overall good event so that people know they

I still feel like it was a bait-and-switch to me, after having written an integration for one of our apps that was supposed to go live TODAY, only to find out that we had to reevaluate all the billing solutions... again. Good lesson for co

Chargify isn't really a revenue driver, much love, the people that spent freaking hours integrating with chargify to have a bait and switch pulled.

I agree completely - paying $1,200 a year to get started is a bit steep when it comes without notice and after i've been building the integration too.

I spent the last two days porting our code from paypal web payments pro over to chargify... and then they just jacked up their prices for starter level from 0 to $1,200 a year, and you still have to subscribe to authorize and the customer i
