Don't even get me started... PaymentExpress demanded we sign a 3 year contract to move off their "starter" plan. This is after them stuffing up our recurring billing for 6 weeks late last year. Cost us thousands. Told them to jam it, in the

Amazing. This is the area where I grew up (in Australia). The area features 3 "open cut" coal mines. One of which has been going through a reforestation process over the past decade or so. http://earthengine.google.org/#intro/v=-38.223557

An exit which results in shutting down the product means we would need to feel the cash is greater than the business opportunity. Our team (investors included) believe in the vision of the business (and the data supports that belief), and i

Amusingly, we (BugHerd) have exactly this sort of system in place. Almost universally our users prefer to get individual messages. For a lot of these notification emails, just the subject line is enough for most people to know whether an ac

This looks surprisingly cool. I've seen plenty of startups claiming to "fix" email, but this is certainly a novel approach. I'm sure that $20 a month won't suit everyone, but if you get hundreds of emails a day and it saves you half an hour

The best you can hope for is a compromise. - get a secondhand stone and have it re-set. - get certified non-conflict diamond (or in my case, an Australian diamond) - get some other precious stone The best one is to get hold of a family heir

Trying to argue against engagement rings is like arguing against internet censorship. Your opinion is tainted before you open your mouth because the only people who could possibly oppose such things are cheap bastards or pedophiles, respect

You need money in the system to fund quality startups. But you need quality startups to get money in the first place. The problem is that we lack a lot in both areas. Chicken/Egg.

Agreed. Since when did scrolling become a page navigation? If I'd clicked a title, then sure do a hash change, but otherwise leave my URL alone. On top of that, clicking an anchor (which on any normal website would take me _instantly_ to th

Investigating this approach now. It won't fix the problem, but will certainly reduce the occurrence of blocked dynos. Thx! EDIT: will need to look into our memory perf though, looks like we'll need to do some work to get more than a couple

Wow. This is explains a lot. We've always been of the opinion that queues were happening on the router, not on the dyno. We consistently see performance problems that, whilst we could tie down to a particular user request (file uploads for

It's $30. What sort of development are you doing that isn't worth $30 for the single tool that allows you to do it? I can't imagine carpenters are incensed when Ryobi brings out a new $300 drill. You either buy the new drill, or you keep th

Not sure you can reliably measure the size of a business based on its social media engagement, nor Stumble Upon "views" for that matter. Some of the fastest growing companies (based on things like, you know, revenue, profit etc) are enterpr

We currently do a lot of this stuff internally using our own system. But I must confess that we don't have great analytics on it...so it's tough to know if it's effective. Will check this out as an alternative. Out of curiosity, how's this

We've been using perfect audience at BugHerd for a while now and I'm an unashamed fan (first twitter follower even!). Great product with amazing support! Best of luck guys!

Perhaps someone already HAS invested in these guys? One of the team members listed (guy king) has had a very substantial exit ($90M) from a previous venture (retailmenot.com)
