I said that like 10 times and still see it almost every time

Periscope was in beta and was acquired by Twitter months before Meerkat even launched...

this is telling

Just take a look at all these successful startups which either had a temporary domain name, or which still have a different domain name to their name:

Square was squareup.com, DropBox was getdropbox.com, Facebook was thefacebook.com, Instagram was instagr.am, Twitter was twttr.com, Foursquare was playfoursquare.com, Basecamp is basecamphq.com, Pocket is getpocket.com, Bitly was/is bit.ly, Delicious was del.icio.us, Freckle is letsfreckle.com

this is in a FAQ in the email after you signup for beta

"Q) Does Subledger store data safely and securely?

A) Yes. Subledger runs entirely on Amazon's AWS, which itself is compliant with HIPAA, SOC 1/SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 (formerly SAS70), SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, FedRAMP(SM), DIACAP and FISMA, ITAR, FIPS 140-2, CSA and MPAA. Subledger itself has not yet been certified. We take your data security and safety very seriously: when Subledger says it has received your data, it has already been stored in two separate data centers.

Q) Does Subledger provide disaster recovery?

A) Yes. Subledger makes real time backups of transactions as you create them. Our storage system has a stated durability of 99.999999999%. Subledger can optionally mirror your transactions to a separate geographic location. With multiple copies in diverse georgraphic locations, your data is extraordinarily durable.

Q) Do I need to replace what I've already built?

A) No. Subledger can exist alongside anything that's already in place.

Q) Is accessing my financial data over the internet secure?

A) Yes. All communications to and from Subledger are TLS/SSL encrypted which is the modern standard for over the internet security.

Q) Do you have strong authentication and authorization?

A) Yes. We employ a gigantic keyspace (7.3322e+78 combinations) key/secret authentication with support for rolling key updates."

they have a few competitors (CB Insights, DataFox, Tracxn, Indicate.io), remains to be seen who wins out

you completely missed the point of HealthKit and what Apple is touting it as and the capabilities your expecting it to pull out of thin air, it's primarily an app that lets you pull in data from multiple fitness devices with limited EHR integration capability as a bonus, what you are expecting is a whole different business

NTT DATA

Stanford has a better CS program then any Ivy League school so that's not a surprise

when they try pull that shit, open up and go down their portfolio list and basically every company was or is still in a similar situation

that's what I thought also, can either of the founders talk about what makes it different?

he is trying too hard to sound like Ben Horowitz who he has admitted is his mentor, there is nothing original with this blog post

this is the best one I seen - https://10s.ec

a few others

https://paytagz.com (Member of http://boost.vc)

there is a startup doing this and launching soon, can't track down the link of their site right now

there is a lot of activity in this sector right now, including some VC funded startups, the approach they are taking is to grab instagram #forsale pics then post it on their own storefront site

the scraping they are doing is illegal in the first place, do they have written permission for and cite and source every data point they have?

By their logic, Someone can scrape their site and do enough manipulation on the data to avoid similarity's hence no infringement

what was up with the Github and 37signals references? They both use Ruby on Rails which could be considered a niche technology, 37signals even admits to use the most bleeding edge version live in production before they even put out a beta of the version to the public so if anything referencing them is actually hurting the article

Angular is easier for me to read and understand then the equivalent Backbone code right from the start

true, but any small mistake in the process on your part can come back to hurt you, look at how silk road got taken down

"dumb web vulnerabilities" that have huge implications could fetch a pretty penny for sure

- the buyer is very unlikely to be able to track you

the buyer will probably be easily able to track you, if they are paying 100k for hacks on the black market, they would have the resources to find you easily

are you saying you go straight to a in-person coding exercise as the next step? seems odd, there is no phone interview between then?

there is none

Derby is the closest thing to it but Meteor has more capabilities and has a better development team plus a lot larger developer community

The propaganda completely unbacked license response by Yahoo to the Openstack/MongoDB fiasco and now this are making me want to delete my account on the site
