Vivek, I tried signing up using Github but it threw the following error:

The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

I got the details from Paul Ford, he is one of my mentors and is on the panel. Also, Doug Rand confirmed this at the GAN conference.

EIR[1] has worked on a temporary solution to resolve this by re-interpreting the laws for L and O making it more startup friendly. This was further confirmed by Doug Rand (from whitehouse) at GAN[2] conference but no ETA on formalization.

f8n or h4n - too geeky, I guess.

This is why I switched from staying in hotels to AirBnB houses. The best place turned out to be Startup House where I am currently staying longer than anywhere else in a month. As my current startup stabilizes, I intend to live in more cities not just in US but all over the world.

That's your karma. You start at 1.

Possibly but there are bigger companies using RDS in production – also, the multi-az feature had worked out better than my own custom setup. Unfortunately lack of resources prevent me from rolling out my own setup on bare metal.

Haha, I probably should. A friend of mine has already suggested I would be better off doing a PaaS startup because of my sysops skills. I always felt the market is currently too saturated. But looking at Heroku having trouble themselves, may be I should give it some serious thought.

as a matter of fact, our app is using multi-zones not just for instances but also for RDS. As of now, I can't reach anything including the loadbalancer.

I was planning to launch our startup in a few hours. Oh well.

Oh the Oxford comma, how I have missed thee. On the other hand, gret post and interesting to see such a quality turnaround.

I have something in the works. Will try to post on HN in a few days.

Neat, just what I had in mind - powered by Stripe. Fee looks a bit steep though.

How about Kickstarter as a service [1] (forked off Selfstarter or similar code) itself? They could especially target Kickstarter rejects.

1. Useful for those who cannot (or are too lazy to) code - instant setup.

2. Cut out the middle man and save on the 5% (or $X) fee. Then again, you will still be paying a bit for the service.

Thoughts?

[1] Transparency which means you are responsible for the project and the provider has no legal obligation whatsoever.

well, looks like this just got bumped off from the frontpage.

Come visit Startup House (5th and Harrison) to meet us (http://attico.us) and various other startups.

Look above [1], they already have a JSON output for apps.

How about onscreen keyboards? They will still work, right? Funny how they are supposed to "beef up" security.

Is anyone allowed to transfer their invite? I didn't apply since I had no plans to be here.

My point is against doing nothing. Having incorporated recently, I firmly believe incorporation is the way to go. Although, my lawyer is friendly, gets thing done fast and charges very low.

Joel, good points but I would advise going with at least an LLC/LLP when more than one founder. Makes things more official and easier to do business (payment gateways, etc). Also, it takes around $100 and 5 minutes on an online form to set it up. Easy!

World changing. Hats off to Elon Musk and his team.

Hah, absolutely!

Of course, apply with your current idea. None of the accelerators have anything against existing product. The later the stage, the easier it gets to make a decision. And from your side, your product hold more truth than the application itself.

On the other hand, if you are about to launch but you are ready to give up something at this stage just to work on something else for YC, you have a different problem, think again :)

IFTTT for email.

Tray is awesome. Met these guys in London on their demo through our accelerator exchange program.

Can't reach your site. Cloudflare ends up saying it's offline?

Although tray login still logs you in without the need to enter password or the code.

Looks like I chose the higher one but you are right, hardly any difference.

Umm, what's with the fake SSL favicon?

"World class security

We've implemented https so you don't have to."

Not sure if sarcasm or ..
