Thanks for the great info. prserve.com just quoted me sub-$1K for one story on a major tech media news site, pay only after the story goes live. What I read from here so far makes the prserve deal a pretty good one, isn't it?

At the moment we have 5 small Linode VPSes (1.5/1/1/768/768) for app/db/solr/redis/async-jobs and paying around $200/month. I've been looking for alternatives, preferably hybrid dedicated/cloud with good RAM/IO for app/cache/db and cloud ba

What is amazing is how much of those timeless insights is still relevant 6 years from its writing, or even 6 years from now into the future. What is more amazing is even someone who possesses so much insights, has sufficient financial ammun

Great suggestion. There is actually a list of filter keyword links right above the products. Those are the sample keywords that I want to prime my users, actually with "laptop" as the last keyword. Though I do know it's not obvious enough t

How about comparing the number of real-life web applications (i.e., not counting final year projects) in each framework, or the number of users each of them serves? BTW, I've been a long time Pyramid user (since the Pylons days) and can't b

A 5 for the article, and a 7 for the comments. BTW, I myself is a Foundation user, mainly because of its better responsive design.

It all sounds good on paper, the only problem is: Can you name one very successful startup that initially focused on developing country and later took over the world? Why? Hypothetical question: What if instead of being brewed in Harvard, F

Get more billion-dollar companies to use PostgreSQL. How? Use PostgreSQL in our own startup, and build it into another billion-dollar company.

Zurb Foundation is a very nice responsive framework. I'm both happy to see it here on HN and sorry to find that the post has done a terrible job at capturing readers' attention during the first 5 seconds.

Dell's latest XPS 14z (14") and 15z (15.6") are designed after MBP. You can easily get an i7/8G RAM/1080FHD screen/750G 7200RPM HDD XPS below $1000 ( http://bizspeaking.com/?q=dell+xps+15z ) compared to Apple's $2199 i7/4G RAM/1440x900 sc

Hi Dalton, why do you think picplz's user acquisition rate falls behind Instagram's one-platform by a few factor? If travel back in time, what would you do differently to win?

Thank you for your valuable feedback, the search is actually at the top right corner, which I thought is the web convention, but will make it more prominent now. And you are right that the full-text search requires more tweaking.

But for single founders (like me) who don't have such a friend, what do you do? Even if you go around looking for one now, by definition your relationship won't be considered good enough until at least a few years later.

Excuse my ignorance: By skimming through the program rules, I got the feeling that you can only expense up to $40K over the 6-month stay in Chile, but not save some to take away with you when the batch finishes, am I not right?

Think about asking the same question from a different perspective: What service would you _as a business owner_ pay me 10$ a month for _to help your business_?
