damn, i wanted to comment but now definetely won't :)

what is launch then? telling on a big conference with big fanfares?

i really want to know because i announced our project here and was ignored, so i know for sure that writing on HN is not launch

telling on blogs and forums is a way to test how needed is your solution.

my unnoticed launch maybe is gold, but massive discussion of it, testing of our technology, emerging of fans and haters - that would be, i dont know, platinum :)

that would be nice.

they are afraid of it to become systematic, that's why they are trying to keep it secret that they are helping her materially etc, but it really doesn't need to:

such a thing happened for the first time, the next times anybody suffered would have to blame only themselves, because they knew the EJ story but handled their keys to stranger without the extensive check.

cool that you encourage people to speak up on the internet, not only in private talks

with this headline the magical voice-over told me he was fired from hacker news.

NoSQL is not only about scale, but also about flexibility?

the flexibility and schemalessness of NoSQL is actually a consequence of the scaling possibilities - it's hard to manage horizontal partitioning and maintain consistency between multiple tables with foreign keys and rollback transactions in a distributed environment; and easy when you have only one table with two fields: key and value.

when, like in mongodb, the value is actually a tree-like document, and you need to have an index on some of the element, you gradually return to schema, because this element should be in the same place/surrounding in all indexed values.

i am saying that flexibility is not why you should choose NoSQL, but actually the scalability that you might need later.

(and non-relational data is kept ok in blob fields or in files and indexed by lucene - if you want (i don't))

That would be as easy if there is some ORM-like library for the nosql database: you change value in a js object, and it gets persisted automatically. But how easy is it to set it up and tune?

got it! good and mainstream for this particular community. because can't believe that my content [1] is bad (except that i know only 8500 of english words :)

no, not bad for HN, really. Hate to admit, but it's a theoretical question connected with (kill me) how to get attention here

i actually hate all this seo, and tend to think that the good thing will find it's way without special tricks. i even think (maybe wrongly) that marketing tricks are recognized by people, and they start to think that the thing marketed to them is actually bad.

but after my question stayed virtually unnoticed, i started to think, what are the statistics of what time and weekday is the best to be noticed, if it's not Apple, Google+ or Microsoft.

How much California night owls are there? :)

i am proud for the guys and have a sort of white envy (if there is such a notion)

i was flattered when once somebody called our "vsetec mety" project an nginx of databases. though it's definetely not true (even maybe vice versa)...

they could add some non-existent words! some people just check all checks i think! (and i was honest and got 8,560)

to read your post i looked up the word 'vernacular' in the dictionary

i understand why i can't read Alexia Tsotsis articles on Techcrunch without a dictionary, with my shameful 8,560 vocab

it's even a problem of the first part of the first world :)

at least you have google.com in english everywhere in one click.

but me russian in the netherlands won't get google.ru in russian link automatically. (?)

and i wonder which is the best day of week to post a show hn post? sorry for offtopic.

what does "angel fund" mean? will it accumulate other angels' personal money? like Yuri Milner's...

i think i would be hungry all the time at google

this is an interesting part!

like passed it through myself. good article

> Writing something hackers think is cool != value

unless your customers would be hackers (i am telling this to myself, to reassure myself)

afaik store is where you also just store things, while market or bazaar is where you sell them, not free...

app store are too general words to forbid people use them

>Why..?

maybe because if you invest when everything is definite, you take less risk and get less income?

SPB is not a single developer that made this success overnight. it is an established firm that made shells for smartphones for years.

by the way, there are theories that everything ancient really occurred not that long ago. if true, the graph may be less steep.

(i think its bullshit but who knows? :))

to make people work for 10% less than average is a real managerial art.

they use irrelevant motivations (like 'are you a man', 'you gave a word'), deceive people, flatter, promote jerks to make tension in the team and so forth.

and even make some bullshit (rarely good things, i think) done. at least what i see here in my city/country.

it's easy to have power based on money, but sometimes not that efficient, they think.

i raised none, tomorrow i land a job to feed mah kids.

> I didn't expect the recommendations to be right for my name (they weren't close).

how do you know? it's recommendations, not your current preferences. if you listen to break-bit-hard-core-metal-funk, it may recommend you some Tchaikovsky

> The best teachers I ever had were the ones who were unafraid to tell me exactly what I was doing wrong.

doesn't contradict with

> But as soon as someone says a software project is “retarded”, unfollow them.

anyway, the teacher should first earn the right to teach. if maradona tells me i am retarded at football, i'll listen. if a random jerk tells that, i'm gonna ask why and say go to hell if i dont like the answer
