as much as people bash Angular, it was a relief just being able to take HTML code from a designer, sprinkle some ng- attributes and watch it come alive. I didn't even need to learn anything, it just made intuitive sense. Unfortunately,

my exact thoughts...the whole point of using Lambda is that it is hosted by Amazon. Maybe if this had some way of deploying on any cloud vendor, it could be a pretty good alternative. However, my only use case for this would be if Amazon sh

If you are thinking about it don't do it. These software wreak havoc on people's computer.

Your company would be far down my list. I'm not working for free if what I do isn't open source. If I'm working on a proprietary product I expect to be paid for it. If you told me to do this take home assignment I would'

They want someone who uses asynchronous programming in coffeescript to build a blog and use shit load of preprocessors and if the library was just released on HN they expect you to use it in production and deal with it. Don't do these

Unbelievable. This parallels to my experience working for a local startup long time ago. The amount of abuse people, the bullying, useless HR seems to be a pretty common theme in an industry without a union. I still don't get why peopl

I built a SaaS app with Flask....if I could turn back time, I would stop myself from using Flask.

as someone who's used RabbitMQ in a SaaS app to run millions of tasks, heed my warning, RabbitMQ is great if you are low on memory but the overhead was too much to deal with. Celery also contributed to this but if I could travel back i

I can just imagine this being abused by less socially aware on the autism spectrum disorder, I definitely think it's wrong and toxic to add mechanisms which support non constructive criticisms or praise that leads to emoticon circle je

what makes it so difficult is it the underwater currents that carry the fragments below the sea? don't we have some xray view on our spy satellites?

omg the nostalgia...we still had this in our classroom when I was in grade 7 in 2000...I used hypercard to make stick figure animations frame by frame that would shoot fireballs like in dragonball z and all the classmates would gather aroun

yeah just talking to elementary school kids from America vs. Korea was an eye opening experience. I couldn't help but feel that the future is kinda bleak for American society because so much of it is centered around jock/warrior c

Yes VICE makes 100% of everything up. This is why even big news media outlets own a stake in it. Bush did 911 too.

It's not clear enough what you were doing before that led them to a C&D. Were you doing what Scrapinghub was doing? A web scraping tool vendor and service provider? It sounds like you were doing something shady enough for them to n

I think you are overestimating the reach of CFAA. There's multiple web scraping tool/services as a vendor not just ScrapingHub. All of them have been operating longer than 3taps and some do still scrape craigslist and get away wit

I couldn't reply because I was submitting too fast so instead of replying I added to my original point which was that 3taps took the heat for Padmapper. The fact padmapper didn't get slapped with CFAA, meant 3taps took the major h

how much are you generating in terms of revenue? are you venture funded?

by jorgecurio 11y ago
The tricky thing is that a tool or service provider of scraping if compliant to the demands of website owners to stop scraping, there is very little to claim damages. Even if the customer used scrapinghub to login to websites and scrape all

WOW. so the guys doing all the heavy lifting (3taps) took all the heat in the end. So looks like 3taps is out of business but padmapper is still up and running....getting data from crowdsourcing? It's really odd that if you made this e

everyone of those cases involve multi-people organizations with significant revenues or funding. These cases are largely reflecting of businesses forcefully shutting down other innovators by claiming some bullshit like CFAA. CFAA should rea

> luxury of simply enjoying organic growth and funding expansion by re-investing profits into the company. That's a GROSS over generalization. It definitely is not rosy, not when your competitors are VC funded and releasing products

I'm wondering about this but how realistic do you expect someone to pay when it's already free? I would imagine only large enterprise users so essentially you are supporting free users by charging enterprise users that may pay you
