Use this for the time being, http://madeinny.herokuapp.com/ I had DNS setup through Zerigo with Heroku and had issues with the DNS server earlier, and thought it'd been fixed, but they either haven't propagated yet or I've somehow rebroke

Crap, it's a bizarre DNS/heroku config? issue I'd been having intermittently earlier. I thought I'd it worked it out - does http://startupnyc.org/jobs/ work for you? I'll get a mirror up momentarily EDIT: fixed link http://startupnyc.o

For a quick and dirty approach you can use .iqy query files. It's a really basic format, just a text file with a URL to open and options defined by embedding arrays in the params string. e.g. POST Example.com/get_data?first_param=["paramete

Wow, this is some intense FUD. They criticize Dropbox for relying on S3 for data storage and Amazon for hosting, and using deduplication. "Does Dropbox store multiple copies of every file? Unknown. Dropbox doesn't state whether they keep

Yeah, I agree. You could do a sortable list of services so the user could rank their importance and then pick the best result from the first X(10?) iterations given their preferences. Obviously, that adds a lot of complexity, you just got

Corn syrup is also cheaper than sugar in the United States due to large tariffs on imported sugars and large subsidies for domestic corn production. I'm pretty sure this is the original reason for use only in the USA as opposed to laws fo

I worked at the store the OP worked at, and his story seems accurate. The 5th avenue store does more $/sq foot than anywhere else in the US, and grosses more than any other retail store in New York. In early 2012 the 5th avenue store got 'r
