   A Mint.com for managing your frequent flier miles instead of money. It alerts you to deals, expiring miles, and ties-in with the infinite affiliate programs for travel in order to generate revenue. (Credit to my mom on that idea.)

   That is a patent application. It has not been granted.

   Much more success in philippines than india for me. Used craigslist in both. In long term work relationship with two people in PI, both amazing. (Happy to offer more advice if needed.)

   Thanks Chris. (I'm running a brand new niche email newsletter for patent attorneys and would enjoy chatting if you have the time. My email is in my profile.)

   How do these companies monetize their lists? (Please forgive me if this is common knowledge.)

   The BSDs always feel beautiful to me. (I'm a mixed GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OSX user. ) The kernel configuration feels more simple and the official documentation feels uniform, informative, and almost always sufficient. If more virtualiz

   I would love to start using tipfy, but haven't read a compelling argument for porting existing projects that are using webapp. (Working django projects seem clearly not worth it because the routing and other code patterns appear quite diff

    The $20-30k is likely an average, spread over many years, and also skewed towards particularly expensive patents. As others note, provisionals and the early costs of filing can be relatively inexpensive. Clearly, in the software space paten

    Patents work very well in more traditional arts, for example mechanical devices. They're not perfect, but they're good enough at stimulating innovation that most countries have a patent system and they actively encourage their citizens to

    Do you see many of these? I don't...seems like it's only worth it if the in infringing party has money.

    This is an entertaining and timeless story. "Trolling" is, alas, inevitable due to the transferable nature of patent rights. (Troll-like cases are perhaps 1/20 of patent infringements filed.) But, the victims of trolling are not entirely

    I love fantasizing about future revenues and FU money. But, I've worked like a dog for every dime thus far. Regarding revenue projections based on New Hampshire state population, see http://sivers.org/1pct

    This does not get you the two primary benefits of attending a top tier school: 1) the social proof that comes with a credential like an MBA from Stanford or 2) the instant network of friends and alums. (Furthermore, the other comments about

    We use Bluga's thumbnail service, with which we've been very happy. Does this service have any advantages over Bluga?

    Cute. There have been numerous articles on this parasite recently in various papers. None answer the only question I have: do I have it?

    Tons of people do. The appengine blog featured a number of prominent ones. We own http://news.priorsmart.com which runs on there. Is a great platform for all the same reasons Heroku is a great platform: scalability, easy deployment, no

    The pre-compilation of python code appears to significantly decrease the time required for cold starts. That's just great. Awesome team, awesome platform.

    I suggest the following test: send it to 10% and see if their response behavior suggests they feel your email is spam. (Don't lose any sleep, they did opt-in.)

    List and generator comprehensions are such enjoyable features of the language. Really looking forward to set and dictionary comprehensions. Alas, if only python 3 adoption were not bound to take years.

    Truly. Making that amount of money is non-trivial. The web is a chaotic, crowded place filled with free stuff. For most of us, it takes a clever idea and persistence to make anything over small change.

    This idea is both cute and useful. I frequently run a deployment script and switch to another window (e.g. HN) only to forget about the deployment. I will definitely be using this.

    Is there any degree of "free" validation if you route all the emails through another service that probably does some of this. E.g. a gmail account that forwards all incoming mail onto your servers.

    Duder who runs that is a super nice guy and has poured his heart into Windy Citizen. Nice to see him win the Knight prize.
