Congrats on the launch! Have you considered also posting a privacy policy to let folks be more comfortable integrating this API into their apps? For example: how long is the data stored, is it encrypted in any way, is there any way to purge

I have been using one for the last year as my main coding box, having shedded a monstrous noisy mini-tower, and have never been happier. Most people I mention this to don't realize that you can connect two monitors if you pick up an extra M

This is a known issue with GoDaddy certificates, and can be corrected by specifying an intermediate cert. I ran into the same issue at one point in the past and had to Google a bit to fix it. GoDaddy itself is not a trusted CA on all platfo

As someone who lives in the Bay Area, am I the only one embarrassed for San Francisco after reading this article? The comments to the post say "watch your surroundings" which is wise in any city, but really, should it be this bad? Major pro

I've successfully used Knoppix (a Linux live CD) to recover data from drives that Windows (and even BIOS) claimed did not exist. It's worth a shot before trying other services. If lucky, your drive will be mounted after Knoppix starts and y

I just might get downvoted for this, but submissions like this tarnish HN.

Merits of the article aside, I'll have to agree with this. Hopefully not offending anyone here, but I often find myself driving down 101 and looking at lifeless office complexes with little to no charm. Yes, the weather is great, but this a

I can't upvote this article enough. Perhaps I've seen too many friends put months into a startup, with no clear marketing / post-launch plan. The switch gets flipped, the site goes live, people patiently look at Google Analytics, and ... th

Without going into the fuzzy enforcement details of the law, it is still refreshing to see some "blame" shifted specifically to a malevolent user of Google Street View/etc. In other words, instead of these legislators incessantly blaming G

Might be obvious, but would love to see the code displayed with a monospaced font.

Most of the founders in the article are quick to bash their creation, saying "clearly there was no market need." I am not convinced, even for a very niche product. Poor marketing efforts can be blamed here -- it seems likely of hobbyist dev

At least for measuring clicks/conversions, you can look into Google Analytics for Mobile: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/mobileAp... This may be stating the obvious, but if your app is not free, obtain promo codes and

"If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own" would fit well here. FWIW, I am not sure who this quote can be attributed to and some Googling didn't help.

This is probably off topic, but are there any well-known cases of a product labeled "$name killer" having actually become a success? Many (unsuccessful) iPod killers, iPhone killers, and Google killers, to name a few, come to mind from rece

Another invaluable mention would be "set -u" which triggers an error on undeclared variables.
