   I thought you had quit everything to work full-time on Peashoot… now everything makes more sense!

   Did your visa application cost $20k? It seems extremely high. I heard it's usually around $5K (fees + lawyers).

   Congrats on Urban Airship. That's a great sign for the viability of their business and reassuring for their clients.

   Good idea, great execution. How do you envision the site being used in the long term, and do you think there is a way to monetize it?

   If that means more resources for Instapaper, that's a great news.

   Regardless of its adoption, zepto.js shines by the beauty and brevity of its source code. Well done Thomas!

   If you start learning ASP.NET, I'd recommend skipping WinForms and start with ASP.NET MVC. The latter is a really good framework for .NET projects. It shares many features with popular frameworks (RoR, Django…) and doesn't get too much in y

   Since there's no way to leave a comment on the original post, Jeff, if you're reading this thread, would you mind explaining what your stripped down version of rails3 offers that Sinatra doesn't? What does rails do best than Sinatra when yo

    The early days of TC were what Arrington did best. His writing was engaging and the his takes on startups interesting. But the urge of getting big had a significant — and I think negative — effect on the quality of the news. Countless stori

    Change the handwritten font. It's barely legible and feels kind of unprofessional. The top of the "F" of Friendpods seems cut off. And maybe provide some use cases for your app.

    I have a feeling that Google is more worried about a new search paradigm — like social search for instance — than its current competitors in the "index+rank search model". Hunch + Quora + Facebook questions could well be the biggest threat

    MS, please stop trying to sell 8 different SKUs for each new version of your OS. Just sell one. Thank you.

    Redis is rock-solid. If you make sure you've got enough RAM for your data, there's no downside to using Redis.

    I was playing video games. It was the afternoon in France. When I switched off the PS2, it took me a few minutes to realize I wasn't watching a movie. I kept watching TV until late that night…

    That's a really neat app. The inline quiz is a great feature. Which python framework did you use? Small "bug": when you navigate to the login page [1], there's no link to go back to the home page or anywhere else but the TOS. [1] http://ww

    Gandi has great support, a friendly web UI and fair prices. You should give them a try.

    Thanks for the link. There is no doubt that France is overly bureaucratic — but having lived there for almost 25 years, I've only heard about a handful of corruption cases.

    I don't know where you got the idea — that corruption in France is significant — from. Care to elaborate?

    That implies that startups charge money for their product/service. More often than not, sites that need to scale for millions of users are "free to use".

    Using the tweet source is such a smart idea! So far I rely on username filtering / patterns. Toughest is to get rid of job postings ! Good luck with Tagwalk ! You've got a new user ;)

    I'm impressed. From what I've read on your blog, you have gathered a massive amount of data. How do you fight spam?

    That's really interesting. I started firetweets by tracking only node.js links. I really like the data driven approach you've taken. Do you plan on expanding to other topics? edit: You already do track other topics. That's really cool!

    That's an interesting idea. Somewhere on my hard drive lingers an app that grabs all the links from your Twitter timeline and is supposed to send you a daily digest. I hadn't thought of including the tweet itself, but it can't hurt to have
