I'm sure US cities have a relatively long way to go, but biking in Austin is feasible and safe. I don't own a car (and neither do many of my friends) and it's great. Just live in Austin (the actual city) and not Round Rock, Pflugerville et

Why tear down Gruber? Or concern yourself so much with what he is or isn't writing that you post about it on Twitter? Or Hacker News? Just build cool stuff and applaud others who build great things too.

ChompStack was previously discussed here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1492184 I really like the simplicity and focus of their idea. Even the smart folks here on HN were suggesting they get into POS systems, online ordering and res

Does a service like this exist to do the opposite? That is, a service that let's you submit / post data to one place and have it then pushed to multiple services / APIs as a result? I think Wufoo does this for forms. But they wouldn't be a
