Very cool initiative. I’ve never heard of Yusaku Maezawa before this as well.

I’m sure lots of folks here would be interested, but is anyone else here afraid of launch malfunctions like I am?

As a customer the initial reaction was "oh shit" since we had just made a big switch to Trigger a few months ago.

However, having met Amir recently, I'm fully confident that he's made the right choices here, and that he has left the development of the company in good hands.

They've built a solid product, and my gut feeling is that things will only get better.

Svbtle Funding 14 years ago

I think there is quite a bit of animosity and maybe even jealousy in the HN circle regarding Svbtle because of the apparently pretentious manner that Dustin Curtis launched and promoted it. However, it seems what he did is working out for him in the long run. Svbtle has also adjusted its message significantly since the launch to be more friendly.

Personally I would like to learn more about how Dustin used the situation to his advantage, even leading to funding.

I think it's a very good idea to have something like this in place before you start pouring your soul into a project. That said, I would recommend that any potential co-founders go and consult a lawyer instead of purchasing a template, since your particular situation may differ and a template might not cover all the bases or hold up in court.

It's so, so fast, but seems to have trouble with accuracy, at least when I've tried speaking to it. It almost seems to decide on what I've said earlier in my sentence before I finish my sentence, which I'm guessing is lower accuracy compared to waiting for me to finish talking before analyzing.

Very cool, considering I've used Cloudant extensively with a Node server and backbone in the past. It's nice to see something that can talk directly with the DB. Though, could someone explain how I would implement permissions and security using this direct-to-Cloudant approach?

It would be nice to have an explanation of what Keen.io does in the article. Actually, even after browsing your site I still don't have any idea what you guys do, besides collect data and visualize it. There also doesn't seem to be any indication of -how- you guys do visualization. It's hard for me to think about pricing for your service when I have no idea what you offer.

Really neat! I might be a newbie to this, but how do you get those client-side javascript function calls over to the serverside? I am assuming the client's browser is running the Mixpanel Javascript and that your events are serverside.

There are plenty of sane reasons, DDOS included (which seems like what happened here), since our digital world is built on physical systems that have limitations and suffer from external influences that can't be contained.

Paper 14 years ago

Wow, this has the best paper-flipping ui I've ever seen, kudos!

Very cool. I would love to see some verification. If you're using one of the commands from commandlinefu, you probably didn't know about it beforehand, and who knows what it could do.

edit: Commandlinefu.com -does- have a point system that could help determine valididy, it would be great if the points could be retrieved by Fu, and if you could rate up and down within Fu. Still, doesn't help if a code is ranked 0.
