I really like the idea of polls, I think that they would get a better idea of where people stood with actions then just their votes for a good idea (where do you host is one that immediately comes to mind) (do you have funding) (how many st

I just tried Heap, it's pretty good, also I installed sugar on my testing machine, not as good as heap, IMO.

I think that the fact that so many have said "YC got it's first spammer" so many times, is such a good testament to how fast spammers are dealt with. Thanks!

For us: We have 'tiers' and bill a user based on which tier their use fits in, if they increase enough to be in the next tier, they get everything that goes with it, if they only have a small increase, they get an overage, that is some cost

The designers that I know don't hang out online. And many of the designers I know have trouble with basic business practices (invoicing). I'm partnered with one who is actually probably better at business than me, and easily much better a

All your family's blogs, and picassa and flickr pages, how to use bookmarks and how to make a page a desktop shortcut. After that, I'd send her straight to PGs tutorial on arc, I mean, it's a logical next step ;)

Anybody who is highly specialized, and considers themselves more of an artist than an engineer cringes when you say 'make this super generalized' Try telling a graphic designer to make a template for a few dozen random sites.

authorize.net supports subscriptions. it's pretty easy to manage, but I don't know if its the cheapest (it's at least reasonable for our needs, and easy, which is more important than cheap to me most of the time.)

6hrs - 7A Something that got engrained in me, is that you tell yourself what time you are going to wake up, and then you make it standard, 7 days a week. Your body will adjust quickly and you will be tired when you need to be tired. Also

From my (recent) research, I would say 'not primairly' I agree with bmatheny that using it for some things may be a good idea (if video-to-flash conversion is eating up resources, EC2 is good, if you're running out of HD space, S3 is good)

We're bootstrapped (servee.com), I'm in my first few months, and it's hard making the transition from freelance work to startup work, because the freelance is currently paying the startup bills, and my bills.

Ok, so same question, different form. Is anybody managing servers in-house? When PStamatiou points out that you can have a cheap, low power PC for less than $200 (I'd make the majority of them diskless, for less than $150 now), what kind of

Yeah, I am actually already doing quite a bit client side, I have no idea what got you downmodded, btw, but as far as scaling for overall bandwidth, I still can't use one server forever, no matter how the software is architected.

I wouldn't suggest that anything is 'magic' about any web service, and AWS is just an example, This is more of a web theory question. Most startups with low funding start out on cheap servers and then scale to multiple cheap servers (google

Thanks for the insight, "as everybody knows" was a bit presumptous, but it seems to be the feeling around here, and it's been my experience that once the west coast wakes up, my times get much slower. I know from your other posts that you'v

Sorry about that. This is the first time that I have used the sandbox, and it was linked to the testing version instead of the current version, so part of it was broken, you don't normally have to click the markup button to have anything sh

This is a sandbox, but it's not bullet proof.
