Looks very interesting, but this statement in their FAQ is a red flag for me: How can I understand the performance of slow queries? Understanding query performance currently requires a pretty deep understanding of the system. For the moment

This is what I did as well. Seems to make more sense to me than putting an odd opacity value on an element.

This doesn't actually help since your friends control a lot of your privacy. Remember when Mark's sister's photo ended up on Twitter? She had her privacy set to friend's only... It also doesn't prevent friends from tagging you in photos or

In Chrome, you can just hold down the back button to get a list of recent urls - the referrer is at the bottom. Makes getting back to where you were after long slide shows easy.

But if she had gotten a phone call on Thanksgiving that something had broken and needed to be fixed, she would have worked on Thanksgiving (we've all been there). That was my point - since now we can be productive anywhere, we are always a

'During Thanksgiving, I spent the week in St. Louis, working from Jared’s parents’ kitchen counter for a few days.' I think this is the worst aspect of working 'future style'. Since you can work anywhere, there is no longer anyway to get aw

This doesn't seem to be working out too well for YouTube or any political site (HuffPost, etc) - have you read through some of those discussions lately? I don't think that single vs multi threaded conversations has any direct correlation w

CondoInternet is awesome :) 100 mbps for $60 a month. Have only had one down time in the past year due to their equipment icing over last winter. We couldn't be happier with the service.

No, it's still working. I just bought two for $49.

Thanks! We did it ourselves over a couple of weekends. The voice actor we found on a voice actor forum, I did the script and our designer did the flash animation. This was the first animation that we did so we tried hard to make it look pro

Any feedback on our video at www.bidkat.com? We did it at basically no cost and I'm curious if you think we did any better.

Another option for voice actors that I discovered is http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/forum.php . They are mostly amateurs but many of them do it as a pretty serious hobby and have high end equipment. We posted an ad and had 4 audition

I think your value prop could be honed a bit. I tend to read more on a site than most people will, but I still couldn't get through the wall of text without losing interest and leaving. An example of 'write this code and get this!' would ha

This is one of the reasons that I built bidkat.com. With BidKat, scammers have to go through the trouble of making a valid offer (which can't be done with a screen scraper), verifying their offer, and then hoping that the seller contacts t

Not only is this set not as open-ended, I'm not sure buying additional sets will improve things since it sounds like every set will be rather self contained.

I think the toy is pretty cool and I'm sure lots of little girls will enjoy playing with it, but I'm not sure how this is supposed to get girls interested in engineering. There are none of the aspects of legos and erector sets that make th

There was a recent post about advertising on Reddit, so I thought I would share our results as another example. So far we've been happy with the CPC we've been able to achieve (much better than attempts with Google or Facebook) and plan on

Redditors generally click on things that look more like content then an ad and stand out enough to catch their eye. If you try to just sell them something, they tune it out. But solve a problem for them in a relatable way and they will cli

We've had nothing but great results from Reddit advertising. We average 0.18 CTR and 2.6 pages per visit with <70% bounce. The actual ad makes a huge difference, you really need to connect with the Reddit audience. We tried a couple of

Everyone plans to be around :) The fact is that if some company decided to hand you $500 mil to acquire you and shut down Filepicker.io you would (and you should!). In terms of the price, it really came down to the integration. I want ever

Yeah, imgur makes money because it is basically 99% Reddit traffic. I'm surprised that they are still two different companies...

BidKat actually used a very similar model in our MVP - users would upload images to imgur and then copy and paste the link to add the image to their auction. We had the same results, nobody had any idea how to use it or even what we were t

Right, you think that Node.js is a terrible platform for you . I'm pretty sure that everyone here would agree with that statement. You really can't make any more general of a statement than that though given your limited experience.

Whenever I read something like this I always just tack on 'for me' to the end of the title. The article makes a lot more sense if you read it with this perspective. I always did the same thing when a developer would tell me something was t

Disappointed - I thought this was going to be an honest review about sock puppets. I was hoping to see how well our mascot fared ( http://bidkat.com ) ;)
