I think the key thing people are forgetting is the V in MVP. It has to be viable. I keep seeing people building minimal products, but nothing that's viable. It's also a factor of people spreading themselves too thin. You don't have to do a

Users are one thing, active users are another. How many posts are being made? Are they just signing up for these accounts and never coming back? There's a reason Facebook and Twitter quote active users when announcing how many people are

They have that single, robust API in the form of the Graph API. It does everything the old APIs did and more, but it's all in one place now. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

This is a case of copy getting too campy. It's ok to mix in some humor here or there, especially if it fits your target market. But given that this is a product focused on a professional market (CRM), this is an example of taking it outside

MySQL locking behavior depends on the table engine/type you use. The old MyISAM format is table-level locking. InnoDB is row-level and supports all the "big boy" RDBMS features you'd expect to be there (like foreign keys...). Also ideal is

I would think for security reasons, they would not do that. It would be really bad if someone hacked your thermostat to run up your power bill or try to make your home temporarily uninhabitable.

You should be using APC. It has all the shared memory functions you need and a lot more momentum than eA ever had. Facebook was even hacking on it for a while before HipHop was developed. It's a much better product overall.

From their blog post: What Happens to Your Products? GitHub cares about their customers, and they care about ours as well. For the short term, it means that not much will change at all. In fact, it means better, more frequent u

Isn't Blackboard known for being a very litigious company? I wonder if that's come to be an issue for Coursekit yet or not. I've talked with at least two folks that wanted to start up something in this space, but had fears about lawsuits fr

They can easily merge those changes. You just have to use the git command line. It's possible to merge in a separate repo. Like so: git remote add d3mac https://github.com/fabiensanglard/Doom3-for-MacOSX-.git git fetch d3mac git mer

First, you're confusing technologies. H.264 is a video codec that YouTube uses for all its video. The HTML5 and Flash players and any custom players (Android or iOS's app, for example) use it. The HTML5 player is just as usable, if not more

I didn't mean highlighting in general. That I get. I meant highlighting a sample of a book.

Serious question: Why would you want to highlight or annotate a small sample of a book?

If a piece of software is looking for other mountable partitions, mounting them, and reading data off of them, I would think that would be looked at as incredibly suspicious.

Just a quick little note: They've stopped production on the Roadster, so you won't be able to pick one up so easily. You'll probably be looking at a Model S with availability in 2013.

This is them fighting back from the security PR nightmare recently. It's good to see their plan is working somewhat.

It depends on the content. If it's something that will be visited just by HN/Reddit users: Sure, you're not going to get 2k/sec directly from them. But if it's something that's going to get shared/tweeted/retweeted/blogged/reblogged/etc., t

I want to shake the hand of whomever wrote their scrolling list code. I've never seen another Android app do it so smoothly before. There's something to be said for 60fps animations on a mobile device.

And what are they going to do? Shut down your fake account? As far as I can tell, they are only doing checks against obvious spammers. It's not like they have a team of people doing detailed background checks on each and every signup that c

Their Starz content doesn't run out until February of next year, so it won't have a real impact on subscribers until then.

I'd love to see a post on the branding lessons learned through variations in copy. What phrases worked and what ones sucked. The biggest branding mishap I see on a regular basis is a company that doesn't know how to talk to its audience.

Joyent may be unknown to you, but they do a lot of interesting things with Solaris/Illumos, tons with Node.js, and have been around for quite some time. They were an early host of Twitter and have been around for 7 years at this point. Keep
