   Four ideas: 1. Are you getting their e-mail addresses? You could send out some kind of e-mail once a month with a summary of their packages and some ads and/or affiliate offers. 2. Since you are sending them direct messages, they must be f

   They don't have any exceptions. I paid for the rails SAAS kit and then talked to Braintree and it took a week's worth of email just to get them to send me the application. They told us that if we didn't do enough volume they would cancel o

   I knew that cavitation was a concern for submarines, pumps, ships, torpedoes, etc. It makes perfect sense that it could become an issue for any fast-swimming aquatic life as well.. but I don't think I ever put two and two together on that.

   I think "beta" gets a bad rap nowadays because everyone uses it. I mean, GMail has been in "beta" since it launched! Beta doesn't mean your code is bad, it just means you're not at "version 1.0". There is nothing wrong with launching your a

    Everything is "available". It's just a question of how you think about it. The big picture philosophy of trying to build "linkbait" (for SEO) is to take the site's niche, and then start exploring anything on the fringe that is slightly rela

    I think this is more applicable to folks that do SEO for a living and take clients etc. (vs. the typical News.YC reader)

    I've tried various gems and plugins and kept having issues, eventually giving up on AWS (that was several months ago). Can you offer any tips or suggestions for a successful rails deployment?

    I learned BASIC on a Radio Shack TRS-80 "Color Computer" that I got 2 weeks after I turned 5. How many out there have been programming since they were kids?

    We just pulled the trigger for EY this week, should be migrating to our "slices" within 7-10 days. Things like this make me nervous..

    The depth/extent of the plan is surely debatable, but folks like Larry and Sergey and Eric Schmidt would not make the decision to pull the trigger for an acquisition unless they knew what they wanted out of it. They are smarter than that .

    I think internet marketing is going to get very hard in the future. Folks will have to focus on adding value in order to get recognition.
