And why not?? This would be the biggest reason I wouldn't go with Linode. Their Linode 512 instance only consumes 16GB of disk space, why couldn't they just compress the data and store it just in case the customer returns? 16GB is not a

They could have shut off the host, but kept the image file. I just can't see 16GB of storage space worth that much to a hosting company. It's likely that most of that space is empty space anyway. $110 for 2TB on newegg -- that would sto

Hm, I couldn't find a price list for DIDs starting at 17 cents. Where is that? It seems like the only way to get a quote is to use that request-a-quote form.

That and the price is pretty high for per-minute usage. Anyone doing anything "for real" would probably want lower cost over ease of development. Right now their prices are probably 30x more expensive than your standard voip termination c

I still don't think it would necessarily "hurt developers". Ads are needed mostly so that developers can release free apps and later convert these users into pro-users with paid apps, and make some cash from ads in the meantime. Devs only

It's not actually as creepy as it sounds. It's almost like a game, and employees would try hard to score well on it.

how would it solve the problem of recruiters sending the same resume to a few hundred places? I know that there's a really old resume of mine that has been forever circulating from a firm I used years ago.

This doesn't work if you're on the west coast, working on east coast time. Financial markets open roughly around 9 EST, which means I have to be awake by 5 PST and at work by 6. The sun won't rise for another hour. People have different

One could always just use a Twilio equivalence in your country. Twilio might look easy, but it's just as easy rolling your own with something like Adhearsion. Just sign up for some cheap origination/termination services and you're ready t

In the past, lots of scammy/spammy apps grew fast by bribing the user to invite all of their friends etc. But you have to grow pretty fast for FB to see this and delete you, I doubt anyone can replicate that growth now since lots of the vi

Usually most sites won't have many additional features if they used a browser beyond IE6, like hacker news. But developers have to spend 2x time fixing things because of IE6's broken css implementation. Sites that don't explicitly target

Well, if you were tech-savvy, wouldn't you just go for a standard asterisk box solution? 1-800 voip minutes are usually around 1 cent per minute or less, depending how many minutes you buy in one shot.

Any chance of sharing some screen shots or code on how one actually awards accomplishments? Is it like a badge system where there are a set number of achievements, or is it something like a "free form" achievement where one states how it c

I think there are dozens of languages that would be considered lispy before python would.

If they make it as ubiquitous as apt-get on Linux/port on the mac, I think people would use it almost on a daily basis. There are lots of good reasons for apps to be published on a distribution network like apt-get or potentially ninite in

I moved from Atlanta (I'm also a tech grad) to SF as well. I had to move back down to the south bay where it was at warm at least once a year. Since I landed a job before I went, they paid for the move, which in retrospect was a bad decis

Though sometimes it is nice to separate things out. Back in the java jdbc days, I'd always have to look up the exact url format for database connections because oracle's url connection string would be completely different from mysql, and s

You and others on HN are probably not the target for the iPod Touch. Just spend some time with my sister and her friends and you'll quickly see that a bunch of them have iPod Touches and most of them are just used for playing music (with a

Pretty much any app that has a UIWebView will get this flag. So nothing to see here...

So is this the new definition of open: less than $100 and no approval process?

Still pretty poor, considering it's been around longer than the iPhone has. The Palm Pre was considered a failure and it sold more units than the Apple TV did in its first year.

Their die hard fans didn't really help the Apple TV much unfortunately.

It's a bookmarklet though, which means it's all client side javascript, which will make it pretty hard to block. It's basically a greasemonkey extension, and if you look at all the GM extensions available on userscripts.org, there are some

I think everyone assumed he "found" the phone... until now. Previously we didn't have the whole story, so we just gave Hogan the benefit of the doubt.
