SSL is definitely a huge concern for us. We're not sure we want to launch our product without it, but we certainly don't want to leave App Engine.

Don't forget that Mubarak was just an air force officer who was Sadat's vice president. It's hard not to think of this as a repeat of past successions. I haven't read whether Suleiman would stand for re-election in Sept.

This is very good information for us. This poll is part of our "is this a marketable idea" phase. It will help us decide if we should focus only on these tools for our products, or if we should design it for use by other applications thro

LaunchRock was inspired the initial launch of Rockmelt... I don't know if that's the source of the name. Rockmelt was the first app I know of that successfully allowed users to climb higher on the wait list by performing actions to increas

The concept we are working from is creating an API and possibly an embedded JavaScript to analyze the data and to provide updates, alerts and reporting. The plan is to make integration for tracking users as simple as possible to implement,

I find that my first two attempts at "startups" floundered (and eventually foundered) due in large part because I was too "young" (i.e., immature). I lacked confidence in what I was doing, and I always felt like I wasn't old enough to brin

I don't understand how my data is safeguarded by my home server when it's data I'm sharing with users who aren't on that same server. Once the data is shared, it's no longer under my control. I've wondered if there is a way to protect it,

As both a hacker and a hack writer, I follow William Shunn's manuscript format: http://www.shunn.net/format/story.html "In the days of typewriters, the usual practice was to put two spaces after the end of every sentence, and also to put

We're working on exactly that issue for our product (Windsoc). We're working on algorithms that attempt to create social circles, while providing an interface that should make manual adjustment and categorization easy. When someone posts

I think context is intertwined with occasional mindset. Sometimes I'm in "work mode", and I want to consume data related to that, while other times I'm in more interested in family, or friends, or (rarely) political chatter. I believe tha

I think it depends on the system. Making a system more efficient often depends on bending the rules. We had trouble coming up with examples for our application, because most of the "hacking" we've done isn't anything to brag about. But a

That's true. Google would be cheating its shareholders by not returning the most value through legal means. Of course, in Google's case, they probably could choose to pay more tax and get away with it, but why would they?

It seems strange that someone with the business acumen to become the world's richest man would not look on the inefficient and broken charity and aid systems as an opportunity to create a better solution. There won't be good new jobs in pl

While the retweet button is similar to like (my co-founder and I actually discussed this the day before), I do think that a Twitter Like button may come along eventually. In fact, I think it's even possible for an upstart Twitter client to

An excellent set of tips from a YC startup that we've been using for our product. The only thing I didn't see was Aaron's opinion on whether or not comments on Hacker News had helped anyone in his group stand out. I always check the karma

I find it strange that there are no buyers interested in your user base. I'd love to hear more about the monetization efforts that you attempted, as I would have imagined there should be numerous ways to leverage those users. But, of cour

What I find most interesting about this event is that there is really no consensus on what would have happened had he believed the alert to be genuine. When he received an award at the UN in 2006, Russia felt the need to declare that they

I think it's more of a Your Mileage May Vary situation. Where I work we use MSN, and I imagine they'd prefer Yammer if it were presented to them. We have a call centre that uses social and fun events to lower turnover, and they are lookin
