   I've been using Braintree as a processor before they got acquired by Paypal and have been a customer for about 3 years now. Customer service has been stellar, and I always can get someone on the phone (note that they are on CST though

   I'm pretty familiar with the USDA SR dataset, and here are my thoughts (examining data with one of my experiments diarytail.com) 1) People in the enterprise space will be willing to deal with the weird nuances of the USDA-SR data. For

   Actually everything is supposed to be based off one typical serving, so if anything is off, it is wrong and I need to fix it :). If you take a look, the gram weights are different for each item. I checked and it says 6 oysters weights 84 g

   I have been pretty familiar with a food dataset I have for my enterprise app for a while, and thought it would be neat to have a query engine based on nutrient. Standard stuff, hosted on Rails, EC2, RDS. The only funky thing is I had to ma

    Over the holidays I built a site which returns foods with the highest amount of a given nutrient. So for example you can get all the foods highest in potassium, vitamin d, iron, etc. http:/www.getnutrient.com

    1) Point taken. I'll think about swapping the domain name over in the next few days (as yours was the second comment already mentioning this. 2) That's a good question. Right now I don't have any data to examine the trends

    It is half technical and half psychological. Coding wise it would take me too long to implement a free plan (as it actually goes through Braintree's gateway to auth the card). And just imo, but charging $1 helps filter who is really s

    I second an audio only approach. To me this would filter out a lot of the potentially scandalous video conversations you might have. Audio also forces both users to focus just on the conversation and takes away the worries of how you look,
