Thanks! After 30 days, you can purchase a new SIM chip from us directly if you'd like -- but the existing SIM chip will be completely unusable. Right now our site only sells the phone + chip together, but we can sell both the hardware

We're committed to this product, not only for our users, but also for ourselves. We value our privacy HIGHLY, and wouldn't be open to selling out. We'd much rather just close down the company than destroy our core principles.

Hey all, I'm one of the creators of BurnerPhone, and just wanted to leave a comment with a few facts about the product. We weren't really planning on launching this thing so quickly (we planned on making improvements to the site,

Hey, one of the creators here -- I wrote about this in another thread, but here's why we think we're better than physical stores: - You can order the product online without making a physical appearance anywhere. - Many of the prep

One of the product creators here -- we're working on this :) We ended up launching the site today (a week earlier than expected), due to the press on the topic. We'll have bitcoin support by tomorrow.

We're actually working on all of the above right now. We ended up rushing to get this to market due to the press news on the subject, so we ended up leaving out the things above -- but those are coming in the next week or two :)

We'll definitely be adding something like this in the near future -- we actually rushed to finish up our website yesterday due to all the press discussion about the NSA stuff -- we were planning to launch in a week with a much nicer we

So, since the government is indeed collecting an enormous amount of data -- it definitely makes it 'harder' to stay truly anonymous -- but this is a much more anonymous solution than anything else as you are making it as difficu

We're currently adding in BitCoin / PayPal support right now -- nothing is perfect, but this is sort of a MVP. After payment is accepted, we wipe our database columns with any user information as well, basically making it as hard

I never thought I'd end up pitching something I worked on in a Hacker News thread, but here it goes anyway: I actually just finished building an MVP of a product business with a friend that we're launching later today: https:&#x2

GitHub is a pretty great service (IMO). Totally worth paying for. If cost is your number one driving force, then sure -- go with Bitbucket -- but I think GitHub provides a way better experience (for users and developers).

I've been using DynamoDB in production to power a large API company which handles thousands of requests per second -- we absolutely love it. Our stack is on top of EC2, and the DynamoDB read latency is extremely low (1ms -> 10ms per rea

Depends on what you need. I tend to have CD setup for both my develop and master branches, and everything else gets worked on / tested locally only (until those changes are merged).

I use rollback liberally in team settings -- I also do a lot of my work on Heroku, so if anything breaks we do a `heroku rollback` immediately. Usually though -- we're very careful about deploying stuff live. We autodeploy our develop branc

I typically use Google Docs for this sort of thing, but I'm pretty old school. I just open a doc, and start writing down bullet points of features / behaviors that the application should have. Once I've got all the high-level requirements i

In my opinion, this is a huge win for Heroku users, and is one (of many) reasons to use Heroku Postgres. Not only does the Heroku Postgres service have a set of amazing features (easy provisioning, read slave creation, duplicate master crea

I don't really consider this an issue. If you really need an app with a single dyno and no idling, you could always use the Heroku scheduler addon, and tell it to ping your web app once every 10 minutes. With the amount of free hours you

As a long time Heroku user and fan, this is a great thing. Although I find the normal dynos to be really sufficient for my own work, I can imagine that having twice the power of a normal dyno would be a huge asset for many users, particular

Although these certainly look great, I've always had a problem with these sorts of practice programs. Namely, I find them boring =/ I prefer to build real, but simple applications that I'll use for something. Some great examples are: - Comm
