   In weev's case all he grabbed were email addresses but this landed him with 41 months in a federal prison and a fine of $73,000. My advice would be to take down the script, remove the signature image from your blog post and contact DHL

   Hey Dan, interesting to hear your experiences with EC2, especially with RDS - Would you mind expanding on your comment: "EBS would fail often too" How often is often, and in what way did it fail ? I'm currently thinking about using R

    Please spare us from this pointless meta-commentary - it's both boring and unnecessary. It is possible that someone who hasn't founded a billion dollar company actually might have something interesting, insightful and useful to say. At leas

    "Simple sound-bites, strong opinions ... are what's worst about HN." Says the poster who singularly fails to address any of the points made by the OP, choosing instead to engage in ad hominem attacks. Stop posturing and heed your own advi

    Thanks - this is a really nice approach as it doesn't interfere with customer usage, plus you don't end up with runaway costs.

    Surely this is the wrong approach - instead of trying to remove every post about him online (ultimately impossible) he could employ a company to produce content with enough SEO juice to outrank everything else when searching for his name.

    Can you comment on how you handle the fact that PAYG could be open to abuse with customers running up large bills with API usage and then not paying them ? I understand that if you're Amazon you can chase them down, but I'm assuming most sm

    I think that's his point (illustrated with sarcasm) - with the benefit of hindsight he realises it wasn't.

    Except it's not true because the founder of the company just addressed your point head-on when he said: > I have no interest in "setting up for an acquisition". Conjecture is fine, if you are able to change it in the light of new eviden

    You very much dislike Ryan Carson on the basis of a blog post he wrote arguing that you don't necessarily need a co-founder to run a successful company ? Way to go in writing off a significant portion of the startup community ! Have you eve

    Not bitter then ? I can provide a counterpoint - we signed up with Braintree a few months back and their service so far has been nothing short of stellar. Nice API, well written client SDKs and a support team that you can chat to about code

    Ok, thanks - out of interest would my FilePicker API key be subject to the same vector of attack as a Zencoder key ? It seems to me that most of the FilePicker documentation talks about using it in client side applications ?

    Which you could do before this integration ? (I'm not trying to be down on what has been developed here - just trying to understand how it is different from what was already possible)

    The Zencoder blogpost cautions: It is a BAD IDEA to put your Zencoder API key in plain text inside of JavaScript. Just to repeat that one more time, do not use this in code that other people could possibly access. Nothing would stop people
