It's fine to show off what you play around with in your spare time, but the very best and most productive workers actually won't have an extensive up-to-date Github repo. This is because they're been gainfully employed and have spent the v

Your API is pretty strange. Some initial things that pop out on me: json=true to specify the content type. Ideally, this should be from the accept header, but at the very least it should be possible to only specify one content type. Right n

PayPal has a micropayments option of 5% + $0.05, which would work out to be cheaper in this case (the video was $5). https://micropayments.paypal-labs.com/

You are trading the rights of innovators for that of content holders. SoundCloud is my favorite audio startup - one that is helping independent artists. But under this legislation, companies like them would suffer.

This is very similar to the idea Charles Stross presents in his 2005 novel Accelerando which in turn used the idea of a Matrioshka Brain ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrioshka_brain ).

I don't see cost as being a counterargument for a SaaS. I paid about $20 for my certificate, took an hour or so to jump through the signing hoops, serving assets through cloudfront which charges me pennies, and heroku has $20/month SSL supp

Cooperation and equality don't necessarily go hand in hand. For instance, with your example of pack animals, often such group has a hierarchy, with an alpha at the top. Even though such animals may cooperate, their is a difference in status

The current leaders are way overpriced IMO ($9 to $49 per month per agent–are you serious?) I'm assuming these services are targeting companies with people working full time on support, where that $9 to $49 is a drop in a bucket compared
