   I'm no expert in App Store rankings but isn't that quite expensive way of doing so? Assuming you pay it 10 times, you end up with burning 3000 dollars in Apple transaction cuts. And I doubt 10 sales, will get you into top-grossing

   Quite a few commentators on this entry seem to debate whether LS was a "good" or "bad" thing. The ones debating "good", say it allowed consumers to get great deals, merchants to get coverage, and employees to be employed. The ones debating

   Several comments layed out some alternatives, and it's usually fairly easy to figure out where you can go, my personal favorite are the Wikipedia pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_United_St... However, there is one

   I so wish there was a 100$ device like Roku that would have the media capabilities of Roku or XBMC and airplay mirroring. Rasberry Pi could be that one, but unfortunately doesn't support mirroring. If someone can build me a 100$ box with xb

   I think Pinterest is in a great condition ... at this time. Like they have tons of users who religiously use their product, and it's actually coupled with intent to buy, which makes monetizing easy. However, you can't change the fact, that

    This. If there is anything that has ever appealed about Rails is the ease to get started. And I think it still rocks in that regard. 90% of all apps fit the rest-style persistence in a relational database. For that, Rails is perfect. I'm ob

    It'd be really interesting for me to know how many companies/larger projects have been build on top of Backend-as-a-service. I can understand the use case for simply storing passwords etc., but I'm really wondering whether you can create a

    You can work for your own company on post completion OPT as well? I'm currently doing it on pre-OPT, but didn't know it was possible. Do you have the same "continous work requirement" as normal employment under post-completion OPT?

    i mean if you know the approximate/upper limit of the height, you can minimize that delay.

    For anyone wishing to CSS transition height from 0 to auto (or other way round), you can do it with max-height and achieve the same outcome, i.e. max-height: 0px to max-height: 9999px

    Leonid is bringing up some good points, but I was always wondering: How do you get to do auto-expiring page-caching. While Leonid is right that Action Caching with Rails.cache is much easier to do, action caching still lets the request hit
