Buy Arogos at Wholefood. I grew up in Sparta, Greece and my family owned several olive trees. Arogos products are exactly what I remember from our own produce.

Try resin.io!

I am an investor in the company. Yes this correct, there will be a cut from the health insurance company. Gradually the company will add more RXs with higher margins.

Let's chat again about it when oil reaches $100 again

I wonder why it was so much delayed!

And this proves that there no money to be made in Mobile developer tools. Pretty much all major tools have been acquired or face an uncertain future.

Pretty much my default weather up now, way more accurate than the rest

Hahaha good point. Plus you don't make it to Techcrunch if you make actual money! Congrats! Are you staying at PI or moving to VMware?

I agree 100%

Mixture of both is the key. Inc/business in the Valley, R&D in Gr

Twitter buys exclusively YC alumnis or what?

They just launched in Athens for beta testing purposes but they are working on bringing in in some selected urban areas. It needs a good community and that's something hard to build.

They are not worth even this comment.

Congrats to the founders! I hope they keep it going as it is. Maybe with some deeper LinkedIn integration! (that would be great)

Very pythonic. Me likes!

Map/Reduce is still horrible. Python 2.7 is a much awaited addition

oDesk works wonders once you find the right person

Hi there, we just had a huge spike in traffic (more than 1M bugs) so we exceeded our quotas. We just tripled them to be sure it won't happen any time soon. We ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the interest

Yes without but there is a lot of space for improvement with better leverage of taskqueues and async datastore operations. We hope to reduce by 50% some some of the requests so that we spin out less instances. We also fine tuned a bit, check out our results: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2951217

We (at bugsense) have about 500k requests per day and some of the are very intensive. Currently we pay $5.40 daily and it will go up to $22. So per month with the old pricing we ll be at $162, with the new pricing we ll up to $660. It's x4 increase and that makes it bit cheaper than EC2 for the same amount of data. If we subtract the administration cost it makes it cheaper. The old, cheap days are gone :( But still it compares well in comparison to other popular cloud solutions.

It's very interesting to analyze the greek word for employment, working which is απασχόληση (apasholisi).

It comes from two words απα - σχόληση (apa-sholisi). The first part of the word απα (apa) is used when we want to give the opposite meaning so απασχόληση (apasxolisi) is the opposite or the lack of σχόληση (sholisi).

So that does this word means? It comes from the verb σχολάζω, sholazo which means study. For the greeks working was inferior to cultivating your mind, going to the gym or the theater. Studying for them was whatever had to do with the culture of the mind or the body. So employment or working prevented you from studying.

Aristotle has said: - "Ασχολούμεθα ίνα σχολάζομεν" (asholoumetha ina sholazomen) which means that we are working in order to be able to study. More or less he said that we work in order to have the means to improve our body, soul and mind and not just work to live.

That's what the Greek said. (not the modern ones of course :) )

Absolutely correct. When a new user subscribes we get an email and check who he is on Rapportive and get back to him via personal email. We have established some great contacts this way.

We use it at www.bugsense.com and we love it. It has lot of great apis included but it requires a mind switch and you should study the limitations. Datastore is really scalable but slow.

and this is exactly the problem of EU. Single currency without common economy. Greece has a strong currency but a weak economy. It does not work!

Actually it happened but via versa. Germany invaded Greece back in 1940. Greece had huge loses and Germans looted the banks and the gold of the country. Greece up to day has never even requested for war compensation (about 100 billions). On the other side Greece has benefited from EU help that has been wasted thanx to Greek corruption but again Germany contributed to the corruption! Search for Siemens, Mann and submarines scandals. Anyway it's not that much of Germany's fault but the Greek's

We had a similar experience about a month ago. We rebranded (with help from HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2560805) from Sfalma (greek word for error) to BugSense and our sigups increased by x4.

Yeah but Groupon is not on the "bet" level and IPOs are different that seed or series-A funding.

Hello HN! Sometime ago we had posted a question whether we should rebrand our service. Back then we used to be called Sfalma (greek word for error, σ in math) and thanx to your feedback we decided changed the name.

We have a built a service that collects errors from mobile apps. We analyze them and notify the developers.

Currently we focus on mobile apps but we plan to support the server in future.

Let us know what you think, or if you have any suggestions!

There was an ignite talk called "nobody cares about your crappy web app" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bZKPPw4w2c It really complements this post
