How about reddit for businesses, so the subreddits are business categories ("gyms, restaurants, florists") trading tips and meeting each other.
I recently got one at the 295/year forever discount. Immediately applied a 10% discount to our AT&T bill and booked a hotel room thus the card paid for itself and then some in about 10 minutes.

From my understanding some of the discounts swap out regularly. For instance the UPS and FedEx ones are gone.

So it kind of depends on what you do. If you travel once or twice a year it might be a good go. I'd try to get the 295 price if possible. At 295 I'd highly recommend it. At 495 you'd need to spend some time looking at their discounts and seeing if the economics work.
Latest Mobile Phones Latest Mobile Phone Hot Technology in Your Hand
Memorization is not learning. Neither is a subset of the other.
I've been stuck between #3 and #4 for years. I could really, really use more than the 8GB of RAM my largest (rented) servers have. Not being able to build high-RAM servers limits the sites I can build and the features I can offer on the ones I already operate.

For example, I built something like Mixpanel 2 years ago, but I never launched it because in load testing it really didn't take a very large client's worth of data to exceed the 4GB of RAM I could afford for a server, and hitting disk would make reporting far too slow. Buying a new server for each client (who may decide to cancel the next day) was not something I wanted to commit to. http://i.imgur.com/DAOEA.png

I've ended up at Softlayer after trying a number of hosting companies over the past 10 years. They want $25/mo/GB for RAM. It's almost like they want you to pay the one-time cost of the hardware every month... and then some!

Yet, supporting all this on my own, I can't really colocate -- I don't have the expertise or the money to get it off the ground, nor can I be there to drive to a data center and fix things if something breaks 24 hours a day. I have no employees. I have 60k users to support myself.

It seems like I'll be stuck here for a long time.

A number of dimensions for a comparison:

* How complex an object each technology can produce. Both technologies have various limitations in the shape of the objects that can be produced. 5-axis CNC is limited by the need to find an angle for the arm to hit the shaving point and by the size of the shaving head. 3d-printing is limited by the need to additively deposit on top of existing layers.

* How expensive is the manufacturing equipment. Accurately aiming a high speed, high torque spinning arm in 5d is not particularly simple mechanically and it's likely to require expensive calibration. 3d-printing is much simpler mechanically and easier to calibrate.

* How fast the production process is. Neither process is particularly fast, both are far behind injection molding.

* Strength and strength/weight. 3d-printing has a possible edge for strength/weight because it can print hollow objects.
I have a 3d printer in my bedroom. I don't think one could reasonably run a 5 axis mill inside a house or apartment.

Another issue is raw material. For a mill, you need to keep around various sizes and shapes to subtract from. With additive manufacturing, you use the same uniform feedstock of filament or powder for everything.

If you're really interested in your career rather than collecting merit badges for technology stacks, the best answer that I can give yours take your existing skills and market them better to the kind of people who result in career-enhancing opportunities for you. To quickly sketch it out, you want to be on highly visible projects for well-connected folks/firms which have a fairly tight connection to actual money. This has an astoundingly better ROI than learning Ruby from the perspective of increasing your market value.

Don't care about money and want some more opportunities for fun stuff? Pick up enough Ruby/Rails (or Python/Django) to implement your own backends. This lets you deliver whole projects (for yourself or others) without needing assistance.

I also manually deleted every piece of content that I could find before I deleted my account. The hardest part was finding comments that I had made on other people's posts, because often I would delete the mention of it on my own profile. However, Facebook has a facility to "see frienship", which will dig up these comments. So I actually visited every profile of several hundred people and went to the "see friendship" page, then deleted everything I could find, every comment, photo tag, etc. It took a few weeks to get to the point where I was satisfied that no trace of me existed on Facebook (at least nothing that could be accessed by users), and then I deleted my account.

Six months later, I still have no desire to go back.

These scenarios aren't mutual exclusive. Just like most homes have newspaper delivery and a printer, it's easy to imagine most homes having a 3D printer for certain products and to have other products printed out at dedicated facilities.

Appstore report: The education category is overflowing yet opportunities abound
I don't know how similar/dissimilar Dexadrine and Adderall are, but they have really different effects on me. Adderall made me feel high, and seemed to encourage me to focus like a laser beam on low-level details. Dexadrine, on the other hand, has a very subtle effect on me. I've never felt high when taking it. It's more like a gradual transition into being able to focus at will. When it wears off I can no longer focus easily. On weekends I usually take half the usual dosage, and sometimes I skip taking it all together. When I skip it, aside from difficulty paying attention/focusing, I have mild withdrawal symptoms like feeling tired, headache and an increased appetite.

Having said all this, I want to point out that my doctor told me that different medications work for different people. I may just be lucky enough to have the right body chemistry for a drug like Dexadrine to work well for me.

Then why do so many startups (and even established businesses like reddit and Netflix) use EC2?
No; you can get a VPS with those specs in that price range too. It's EC2 that's extremely expensive. I moved $1000/mo in fully utilized EC2 instances to dedicated servers for half the cost.

I'm more interested in seeing what they end up paying for this software when it's built. I'm sure the right couple of geeks from HN could do it in a few months for fairly little; I'm sure the FBI will end up paying many millions.

The FBI would be smart to learn from DARPA and take a prize approach on projects like this. "First company that builds X to our satisfaction will get $1mm." I imagine it'd save them a ton.
"What is the definition of "successful" for the purposes of this thread?"

My thought would be "validated by attracting reasonable investment money by angels or VC's". In other words the idea would be good enough for someone to believe in it that wasn't friends or family or someone's own money. Of course that's only a starting definition. Someone who did "show hn" and then used their own money but gained either customer revenue or a significant user base would also be a success. (And what is "significant" or "reasonable" is also open to interpretation.)

Show HN: Trying to bootstrap my biz with Twitter bootstrap
http://bbsi.biz/

Trying to bootstrap my company, I made this entire site in 18 hours on Twitter's bootstrap 2 and Play! 2.0 with the Scala language.

I completed this entire web site, including marketing speak (bulk of time), layout, gfx, dynamic backend, on the fly JavaScript and LESS CSS minification, etc in that time.

I'm not a web designer but think it turned out pretty well. Would be thrilled for some feedback!
I don't think this is a "return to manufacturing" so much as an elimination of manufacturing as a sizable economic component (at least for products which can be 3D printed).

Analogously, suppose AI and voice recognition progress to the point where all telephone calls to companies are handled cheaply by computer rather than being outsourced to humans in India. You wouldn't call this the West's "return" to the call center industry; you just say the need for the industry had been eliminated.

I can, however, imagine a scenario where you are kind of right. It could be that 3D printing requires a moderate size industry of 3D-printer servicemen who need to be physically present. In this case, the jobs could move back to the wealthy countries simply because the printers can't be remotely serviced. Nevertheless, this still requires a contraction of the manufacturing industry: if it didn't require substantially fewer resources be devoted to manufacturing with 3D printers, we wouldn't move away from the build-it-in-China model.

The difference as far as I can see is that as a startup would I be granted access to all the data? AFAIK facebook terms say I cannot scrape the information and in the past they had forced a hacker to delete the database that was collected by scraping this info.

This sets a dangerous precedent. By letting a government authority to oversee the activity, even if considered public, is still personal. Its a step closer to the cliche - "In Soviet Russia TV watches you"
I am definitely missing something here. So, this is what I understand - users can send the client side info to webmasters. But how do I get to know that email id?

Disclaimer: I co-founded WebEngage (http://webengage.com). And here's a shamless plug - WebEngage not only provides you all this client side info, it also captures a screenshot of the current page (on your website) the visitor is on.

Do you actually have a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery? In terms of depth, not just breadth?

I'm going to rattle off a few questions that come up as part of the daily job duties of a Google Frontend SWE, and may frequently show up as phone screen or "warmup" interview questions (the actual coding problems are under NDA and tend to get banned when they appear in public, but these are basic enough that I don't think my coworkers will mind):

1.) Why might you choose an iFrame over XHR for communicating with the server?

2.) What are some ways that you can get JavaScript onto a third-party website that can then communicate with your server and display some data on their website?

3.) Can you write a DOM traversal without using JQuery or other third-party libraries? Why would you want to?

4.) Which DOM API calls are slow and what alternatives do you have for them?

5.) Say that you have too many CSS rules for IE and need to come up with a quick fix that doesn't involve refactoring your CSS into something more sane or reducing the number of CSS rules. How might you do this?

6.) Which tags are self-closing in HTML5? Which tags may be omitted entirely? You can look them up, but which site would you go to?

7.) How do you make an AJAX app back-button aware in different browsers, and how will HTML5 help this?

8.) How might you track that a user has clicked on a link, and again, how might HTML5 help this?

9.) Do you know about Canvas, localStorage/sessionStorage, the <video> tag, WebGL, and various other HTML5 goodies?

10.) How do you write custom attributes on HTML tags in HTML5?

All of these come directly from actual problems we've faced at Google, BTW. If you know 'em, great - I'd pick up one of Python or Ruby and learn how the server works (and we're hiring, BTW). If you don't, I'd go deeper before going broader.

All of the questions, BTW, boil down to one meta-question: do you think about the whole user experience (including latency, stability, integration with third-party sites, and other UX conveniences), or only about putting pixels on the page?

(Edit: Also, Patrick's advice is great. My advice is mostly training you how to make yourself more valuable as an employee. His is training you how to make yourself more valuable as an entrepreneur. The two skillsets are not mutually exclusive - hell, I became an employee because I needed to learn some skills so I could become a better entrepreneur - but they optimize for different paths.)
Compulsory licensing seems fundamentally broken in multiple ways. First, it provides an air of legitimacy for the claim that purchasing a copy doesn't automatically provide all the "license" you need to do whatever you want with it. It ought to suffice to purchase as many copies as you simultaneously stream; streaming should not require a magic "streaming license", especially not one that costs more than just buying a copy. And second, the concept of any kind of compulsory transfer of rights for a legislatively fixed amount of money seems fundamentally opposed to the concept of a market, and accepting that in the realm of copyright seems like a dangerous precedent.
I virtualized my home IT environment
> Macs ...why aren't those the biggest in the enterprise space?

Rhetorical question, but here's the actual answer:

None of the reasons that had hindered Macs on the uss-enterprise apply to iPhones. It's compatible with common network and mail systems, there's management software, it has the biggest application & developer base, and the (huge) profit margins are hidden in the carrier bills.
Reddit and Netflix have entirely different models at their 'web-scale'

They actually DO need to be able to scale servers up and down based on demand-usage, time of day, growth patterns, etc.

For them, the extra EC2 cost is negated by being able to spin up an extra 400 instances in the evenings, and turn them back down after everyone goes to sleep.

Under the dedicated server model they'd ALWAYS need to have an extra 400 dedicateds to handle that peak load (and in fact would need to have far more to handle additional spikes, projected growth, etc.) Those dedicated servers would sit idle, costing them money most of the time.

This is the difference between 'web-scale' and your typical startup's usage pattern.
Why should they be forced into giving me their content in a way they don't want to?

Take a step back: the purpose of intellectual property law is to promote the creation of works. Assigning property rights to ideas is the means, not the end. If we believe compulsory licenses would ultimately promote the creation of more works, that trumps any property rights argument.

Would you be OK with the government saying "if a company won't release it's source code, you are ok to hack into their site to get it [...]

No, but I would be OK with the government saying "if a company won't release its source code, you are free to reverse engineer it."

I think you're underestimating child-related expenses. Since we're talking about both parents working full-time, just take the cost of child care: http://www.naccrra.org/randd/data/docs/CA.pdf says this California family with 2 kids could be spending over $2000/mo on this alone, depending on how young they are.

I'm not saying they won't necessarily have anything left, but $12k/mo still may not leave them much.
