Have you taken a look at any of AsrockRack's offerings? They've got some prelim 650 mATX boards: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=B...

I believe that getting the ice to melt more slowly is the purpose. Regular ice cubes will melt at a faster rate and in turn dilute whichever drink you have them in. In something like water or soda it is less noticeable but with something like whisky, you will end up noticing it more.

I don't get why there seems to be hostility towards Outpost. On both occasion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7637010 and the current) the articles have been relevant to the YC community and to my knowledge hadn't been up voted by sock puppets that we created or operated. This article mentioned Outpost once and wasn't even centred around it. I could have replaced Outpost with any other company and it still would have same purpose.

My account had posted it from Medium earlier but I realized how SLOOW it was loading so I loaded up a Ghost Blog droplet for Digital Ocean and reposted it there. I needed a new account to post it on behalf of so a smashed my keyboard. Voial!

We have a few realistic accounts which we maintain. During office hours we manually reply to the tweets but we can't, unfortunately, be up 24/7.

It was what I originally was planning on doing but felt that a personal response would be better than a bot. During the hours of 3am - 9am I do set it up to be auto replies but there's not much traffic anyways. There are similar Twitter bots that do this and I've spoken to someone from Twitter about a grey of the ToS area I might be able to work in.

A question of ethics. I could have written it to be as flexible with its replies as possible but I didn't want it to look like spam. Even now the odd tweet gets passed but it occasionally makes for a laugh as the replies I'm giving make no sense based on the question.

It's something I've thought about and both our current investors and potential future investors have mentioned that this could be a product on its own. If I were to scale it up and turn it into its own startup I'd want to make sure not to saturate the tweetosphere with it or there's no benefit over the competition. I'd also probably license it out to early stage startups instead of bigger companies because no one wants to be spammed to by the next HP, Apple or Dell computer when you ask for suggestions from friends.

Over the past eight years didn't sound as sexy.

I'm planning on doing a more in-depth write up on how NER/NLP in the tweetosphere is different that general NER/NLP which will by me technical explanation of what I did here. That should be up sometime later this week.

Code doesn't work. It looks like your trying to get people to register with your referral code.

It looked like they were just doing a comparison to other services like Dropbox which give you 200GB a month for $20. They have a section stating it is truly unlimited due to compression algorithms and stuff similar to what Mega.co.nz tried to do.

If you speak Backbone JS, Javascript, Python, MongoDB: we want you.

If you love or hate travel, you're still going to crack some code with us regardless. Looking for programers with a giant beard or someone who knows when to share the right gif at the right time in team chat. We really don't care about your fancy degree or anything like that, as long as you know your shit; its good enough for us. Self Taught? Even better, you've proven to be flexible. We like flexible.

Worked, thanks. I was trying to find the thread for the essential OS X apps and found this instead.

Well the linked page is more for the API cause I didn't want it to sound to spammy. I'll add more of a description and upload it in a bit.

We've gotten API access.

This is our (Outpost) API and essentially its grabbing data using the Python framework Eve. It's currently returning almost all of our listings that we display on our site. Place rentals is the feed with the most data but we received a few requests to affiliate for the experience feed so expect more data from there in the future.

TL;DR it's a JSON feed of our MongoDB.

We don't have a dedicated server set up (We got one yesterday but its been having technical issues). Had to disable some features that were requiring too much. I honestly wasn't expecting this much traffic this quickly. I guessed wrong :P

And there goes the backend... We're fixing the problem should be back in a few min. Sorry about that!

EDIT: Fixed!

I recently co-founded a startup (http://outpost.travel) that aggregates the 'sharing economy'. So far we've had a great response to it from investors and users. It's been a crazy experience going from idea to MVP to where we are today and I get exactly what they mean when they say to keep an eye on startups/sites like Airbnb/Vayable. Almost all our users hadn't known about Airbnb before we introduced them to the whole P2P travel experience and quite a few then booked experiences, rideshares and place rentals using us. The one think that I am concerned about is that quite a few federal/state tourism agencies are now banning P2P travel as theres no taxes being made and it takes away from bigger chains such as Hilton and Holiday Inn.
