In case anyone is wondering, it's not like you can get a $0 bill for a whole year. Micro instances are only available using AMI's using EBS. A Lucid Lynx AMI alone is already 15 GiB, and the free offer only provides 10 GB. Essentially, it's

As a side effect, if you're legit, not a spammer but are new to HN (0 karma), then maybe one of the paths to getting an RMS is to be able to convince at least 1 non-new HN member with enough karma to stake their reputation and post an RMS o

I've heard non-programming web designers say, "I've designed this app. Now all I need is to have it coded up" (as though the back-end is merely icing on cake and that the heavy lifting is already done). disclaimer: I'm mostly a back-end per

Hey Kartik, I remember when I first got to know you before you took that job. Your story reminds me of when Evan Williams (Blogger) was the only person left, and he was just stitching it all by himself, no money, etc. But he had users. I se

Specific to you, I think you just added value to yourself even though you failed at trying to code because the act of trying to learn how to code itself made you discover that it's not as easy as it looks for just anybody, and thus make you

Thanks Edan, I'm looking to see how I can implement this just for HN, for the 1st MVP. To accomplish this, I need a way to test if a URL has already has been posted to HN or not, which is kinda tricky http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17

Exchanging contact information with new people you have just met is still not as easy as one thinks. I'm not going to convince someone I've just met to install some contact mobile app that I have that the other person does not have. http:/
