Uh, you're using spot instances. If you want to get an instance quickly, either increase the max price you're willing to pay or use a normal instance.

If you haven't already, consider making the user-facing portions of the service easily localized and translated. I can see myself pitching this service to a client but the UI for end users can't be in English only.

Yeah, I'm sure you're doing this to gauge the interest before writing the paper but you really need to improve the wording of the email. I clicked a link with a PDF icon saying "Download the PDF file", if there is no PDF file you should exp

Actually, Ingvar Kamprad wasn't involved with neo-Nazis, but the original Nazis. Good point nonetheless :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingvar_Kamprad#Nazi_involvement

As is apparent from my profile, I live in Scandinavia as well. You are mistaken at best and knowingly spreading FUD (lying) at worst when you say that. What is well known is that Carl Lundström has been involved in some groups with very unp

If you want to go international you should get in touch with these guys: http://www.gluepay.com/ They do instant withdrawals/deposits to bank accounts, AFAIK they currently cover most of Europe. I have no affiliation except a former colle

Looks like MrFoof and erlanger posted at the same moment so I'll reply to myself. Your explanation makes complete sense. Thanks! It would be interesting to use this in reverse: claim that you meant hourly rate when discussing salary. "Oh, y

Great story, but do you really mean you got your annual salary per HOUR? Perhaps you meant per month? Still awesome, of course, but within the realm of reason :-)

Yeah, but the premise is that people start off with Paypal when they have low volume and this calculator helps them figure out when they should be starting to look at "real" merchant accounts. I'm pretty sure the number of people who willin

I think this is one of those products where a combination of one-off and subscription pricing makes a lot of sense. This lets you raise subscription prices significantly while still keeping a way to get some money out of customers who're sc

Something I think would be very useful: recurring tasks that allow anyone in the company/team to complete them, or with round-robin assignment. Would be used for those things that have to be done but nobody wants to do them.

Good idea, but what would you be prepared to pay for it? I think this is something a hotel chain should do as a value add, otherwise the cost would be too high. To do it independently I would still partner with hotels and offer a complete p

I haven't read The Diamond Age, but this sounds like the beginnings of the franchise states in Snow Crash.

Don't take this the wrong way, but why would I want to share this on Twitter or Facebook or tell anyone about this page? There's nothing viral here, just some bland statements about meetings. I would suggest that you do something more edgy,

I think you should consider getting into QlikView development. I can't talk about my personal experience, but suffice it to say it is growing like wildfire and the idea is very similar to what you're describing. I think it would be hard to

I agree - but given Google's scale, managing the relationships with these kinds of third party sites could be challenging indeed. Perhaps they could set up a system similar to Webmaster Tool's sitemap submission where you could upload struc

What should Google do here? Clearly, in this case users would be better served by the third party service. But overall, Google Maps results for these queries are probably a good thing. Is the answer that Google should index and present the

Thank you! I've been using iCombinator but half the time I get a Python exception when loading comments. Hope this will work better. Cheers.

Saying "I'll remind your customer" sounds like it's one guy in a basement calling out manually. Whenever you're talking about an automatic service I think it's fine to say "we", because if you think about the system as a person you're alway

Very cool. What you do best: providing actual value to real people from customer #1, not fancy high-tech services. I do wonder about your marketing plans, though. Are enough small business owners actively looking for this kind of service th
