the danger in the tenderloin is definitely overrated. People who think the tenderloin is dangerous has obviously never lived in places like NYC, Atlanta, or St. Louis. You could get mugged in broad daylight in Atlanta and the cops won't e

There's no doubt android will be everywhere eventually -- in a laundry machine, toaster, microwave, etc. However, whether android becomes an actual competitor to iOS is still undecided. App developers on the iOS platform still make around

Probably can do for cheaper. But if you're a company that owns a warehouse in Kentucky, you'll probably spend a few million in equipment at the warehouse where the $15,000 will feel like a drop in the sea. It cost Zappos $20M to outfit th

typically? JIT for javascript is only a semi-recent innovation. I'd say most javascript runtimes pre-2009 didn't have a JIT. > (like Java used to be) So Java doesn't run on a virtual machine anymore?

I think your definition is wrong, just go with wikipedia's definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language Javascript can be run at the command-line just like ruby, python, and the rest. You can write a full application in pu

It's not actually that costly to own a colocated server. A decent server will cost you around $2000 which will include 8 cores & 24gigs of memory. You can colocate it for around $60 a month, which is about $227 per month for 12 months

Extensions normally don't work with new versions mostly because of the em:maxVersion requirement in the install.rdf file all extensions use for their metadata. You can probably unzip your favorite extension, modify the file, zip it back up

Well, to be fair, most of the borrowed money came from his own pocket, which is why he ended up owning more than 40% of zappos (probably more that 50% if you include venture frogs' 36% involvement). Most boards hate companies who spend extr

Yeah, but after leaving Georgia Tech, who would still want to remember such an awkward email handle? I wonder if they are still using the lame randomly generated prism account handles for email these days, I don't think the average student

Maybe HN needs to supply more context when we hit the reply button so that we don't end up replying to the wrong threads.

fake is so much easier to spell in a url than "faux" or "pseudo". It's actually hard to misspell "fake".

They're even using flash for headings... Why not just use an image if you want to use fancy fonts?

Eh, not really. Companies like Zappos has titles like this, but nobody thinks the author of "Delivering Happiness" is an idiot.

I think that's what Yodlee is for right? Yodlee is what mint.com also used for their integrations with FIs.

by catch23 16y ago
There's also Outright.com, I believe they have Yodlee integration as well too. They're also free for any size account :-) I also believe they have a rest-based oauth 2.0 api in there as well.

Another good alternative is msgpack at http://msgpack.org/ It has it's own rpc mechanism as well that competes with thrift, although it is not IDL-based (however, their IDL is coming soon).

Considering Google has only paid out approx $30 million to Apple's $1 billion in app sales, that's pretty sad considering how many android devices are out there. An app developer might make more money on BREW than on Android.

Where was the dba-running-with-scissors photo taken? Also, could we get the performance charts in your slides without the 3d-perspective? It's hard to tell relative performance from the angle.

I know two separate groups of people who are both already working on such a project.

The edit flow felt a bit strange... maybe it would help to put the update button at the bottom next to the download button, or call it "preview" instead of "update"

50x less is kind of crazy though. There are nearly enough android devices out there, but you'll make 50x less money if you're an android developer. So an iPhone developer making $100,000 from Apple would only end up making around $2000 fr

If sales are as strong as the ipad was on release date, it might go out of stock for a month or two.

Well, there's not a whole lot of quicktime or silverlight out there on the 'net. So I'm pretty sure most, if not all, crashes are directly related to Flash.

I also didn't have any problems either. I'm currently using the gm seed, and it seems not much different (speed-wise) on my 3G compared to the previous OS version (I was using 3.1.2 before)

This is the number 1 reason I use chrome. Flash crashes at least 10 times a day for me.

Or implement the deletion policy like a LRU cache would. Have a fixed size storage for customers who haven't paid and just delete the image of the oldest customer in storage when the disk fills up. Send emails to the oldest 10 customers i
