dgrogan and myself have been batching changes to LevelDB from our internal code repository to put them on the Google Code page. Playing Google Code site admin didn't seem to me like a good use of Jeff and Sanjay's time.

Thanks for the link! You could theoretically just compile this file against SQLite-based BDB: http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/browse/trunk/doc/ben... And get the numbers yourself. (If you do, please post them here.)

Yes, we put up the Google Code site incognito mode back then, but have since added a number of bugfixes and optimizations, so we're actually comfortable announcing the project now.

Hi there! I'm a YC alum (reMail W09) and helped Jeff and Sanjay with LevelDB. Let me know if you have any questions about LevelDB and I'll see if I can help.

I highly recommend using the Google-hosted versions of JQuery rather than downloading them and hosting them on your own. You get the benefits of faster downloads through Google's CDN and since many websites use these, they're pre-cached in

Yes, YC is an LLC.

It's really hard to grab users' attention in the App Store. If you have a great app but don't have a big brand associated with it, it's hard to crack the top 25 or even the top 50 in your category. As long as TapZilla can maintain high app

Nice work Sam Odio and Paul Carduner (my former YC batch friends at Divvyshot).

My iPhone is currently running 3.1.2 - is it still possible to upgrade to 3.1.3 somehow?

He clearly states they don't care about profit: "At this point in the company’s evolution, I don’t see a huge need for the company to be throwing off a huge amount of profit. What’s the point? [...] If you prematurely optimize, you might ge

Your method works, but even if successful, you'll end up at $1M pre-tax, out of which $750 are gambling income. Gambling income is taxable in the US. If you win that much you might have to pay estimated taxes on that, so you'd only actually

There must be a few more ideas out there where you take something that already exists, improve it by changing one of the variables, add some charming cofounders, add the YC audience, and net out a successful startup.

I don't understand how the author of this article gets his numbers of 489 to 815 PPI. Can someone explain this?

People at Google read Hacker News. It's that simple.

Even though Paul has been pretty successful with his angel investments ... but on average, that seems to be true.

I love how YCombinator is such a big brand now that the WSJ can put its name in a headline without any further explanation. A year ago, the title would have been "Incubator has startups pitch to programmers, not investors".

I don't understand how open sourcing or providing a distribution of Twitter would "save" it. (Or that it needs "saving" in the first place). What problem does open sourcing Twitter solve? The strength of Twitter is in the network effects: T

Startups founded by ex-Googlers have a 70%+ chance of failing? That seems incorrect.

I'd like to sync certain directories on my harddrive with FB photos so I don't have to go through the current Java applet-based upload photos process.

Thanks for your suggestions Joachim! This is why I wrote that blog entry in the first place: To get some high-quality feedback. I think IMAP could be replaced independently of SMTP. You could conceivable replace an IMAP server with a reMAP

Yeah, that was my thought about that too. Attachments downloaded separately via HTTP.

Yeah, it is long polling. I could be misinformed, but isn't the problem with web hooks that you might not have ports open and could be behind a firewall?

Would love to hear your thoughts about how to improve my proposed design. My email's on my HP in case you want to do it offline.

The combination of IMAP and MIME are hard. Yes, we could be happy with the status quo. But I do believe that one of the things that's holding up innovation around email is the lack of easy access to data. Proposed exercise: Write a script t
