True. So that's the low end of the scale. Although it's still more than people get through iTunes.

This is the beta launch of my latest project, an online marketplace for videos. It is currently free to use while in Beta. After beta, we are planning on charging a 5%-10% transaction fee per sale. The current feature set is all the basics

Thank you! The PayPal transaction fees are paid by the owner of the video. It usually about 2.9% + $0.30.

That's possible, but I don't think you can tell right now. We have had hundreds of years to realize just what those 3 geniuses accomplished and marvel at the fact that they were there together. Look at today's PayPal mafia for example. If P

Gotta say, great job guys. I'd heard of Swiftype before but it never really clicked until this video. It's perfect for my current project and I got a basic setup integrated pretty fast.

They've done several major redesigns that initially the users rebelled against but then came to like. I can tell you that's not easy to do.

I'm not really sure why everybody here is so bearish on FB. Sure, its an unproven company with a high P/E ratio, but so are most tech startups when they go IPO. I think Zuckerberg has shown that he knows how to innovate, grow the company, a

Exactly. The biggest motivator for my "web stuff" is this "space stuff".

Yeah, I'm actually in the process of switching to Python/Django from Rails, so its great to hear how well it scales.

Great story. My family immigrated as well, from the former Soviet Union, but thankfully we had help and I got my citizenship only 5 years after moving to the US. I really am thankful every day that my parents braved the incredible hardships

Are you guys going to apply again? I also got an interview for W12 and didn't get in, but I'm applying again now and will again and again until I get in.

I wonder how much this "resourcefulness" characteristic is innate vs learned? Can you learn to be more resourceful? To be easier to talk to? I think you can, but aside from going out there and doing your thing and failing and trying again,

Yes, its not an ideal solution for the long term, but its something easy you can do to scale quickly if you have this architecture. It'll make sure your site stays up. Afterwards, you can spend the time doing it properly when things have ca

Well, correct me if I'm wring but Shopfiy is a completely different scaling problem from Twitter. As I understand it Shopify's individual hosted stores are pretty much self-contained. So you can pretty much stick each one on it's own server

The Square app does all the typical register calculations for cash too, then they just have a little cash holder box on the table where they put it.

Well that's his point I think. The same exact job can be fulfilling and meaningful one day and annoying drudgery the next. You have a good day at a gaming company and you feel like "I did something very fun today and at the same time made t

It's actually not that bad. And it looks like its perfect if you're using it for payments on the move. But if you're not going to be moving the payment station around you should be able to opt into a bigger and sturdier one.

My local coffee shop here in Tempe, AZ switched over to using an iPad with Square instead of a cash register about a month ago. As a customer I like it. It's fast and slick. The employees seem to like it too. Only one thing: if anybody from
