The challenge of the more accurate method you describe is balancing how much CPU is used to find the point in game time where a collision occurs because it is almost certainly at some point between your tick times. You have to perform the c

Well, you are talking about over a million people in that area. I'd say that's a reasonable sample size. Also, not sure we know who their clientele are. We use doordash for the office, but I also use it at home. Because of their l

We're a YC startup in California (Palo Alto) using .NET. We also use other more hip things, but .NET is the majority of our server side stack. We wanted something mature and solid that banks would use for a transaction system. Somethin

Regulations are currently prohibitive in this area. Look for that to change soon as the JOBS Act implementation gets finalized.

"Augmenting their funding" through the site also allows operators to build relationships with new investors and expand their network. It's lead gen for them for future deals.

1.) We charge operators listing fees and use typical recurring SaaS pricing for the investor/asset management features. We're (of course) working on a home page redesign that communicates this clearly. RealCrowd pricing is not unl

There were plenty of seasoned folks [1] in our YC batch, our group included. 3 of 4 of our founders had families and real responsibilities. One major advantage to YC is it opens doors and connections. Many (most?) YC companies have more fun

I've definitely done the separate channel thing in the past for update notifications and it does perform very well. Our setup is a pub/sub system, where the "sub" happens implicitly with the request for a resource via th

In this approach we aren't re-establishing connections every time since the server side supports keep-alive and the clients are web browsers, which also support keep-alive. We also hit the API once to push out changes to the subscribed

Yes you can certainly stream and do message passing within HTTP (for some browsers) but you can't, for instance, return headers more than once without your own application protocol. The most interesting bit about this architecture for

Yes, it's definitely still polling. It is polling about once per minute. However, at least it's only polling at the application protocol level, not the connection level. Browsers and the GRIP proxy support keep-alive so the same T

We didn't see much of a need to expand beyond long polling, if for nothing more than simplicity's sake. Realtime is a small feature in small parts of the application right now. Keeping it very simple and coupled with our RESTful A

We did consider SignalR with the Service Bus backplane (we run on Azure). We also considered node.js with Socket.IO/Redis, Firebase, and a number of other realtime systems. But when we looked into it we realized we would be duplicating
