riteshpatelon Stripe adds multiple account support

Awesome. We have US, UK and AU Stripe accounts and this is exactly what I was wishing for a few weeks back. Thank you :)

riteshpatelon This Google ad has moved people to tears across India and Pakistan

English is one of the official languages of India and almost all people who are wealthy enough to own a smartphone browse in English.

In fact, many kids actually go to schools where English is the primary teaching language - it's not uncommon for kids to not know how to say the days of the week in Hindi.

riteshpatelon Nginx Performance Tuning for SSL

Just compared our SSL config (https://www.theticketfairy.com/) to the one at the end of the article (based on HN recommendations) and pretty happy that it was already set to pretty much exactly that (apart from us having 100m for the SSL session cache rather than 10m) :)

One more thing I'd advise is adding this directive if you're running Nginx 1.3.7 or higher:

ssl_stapling on;

Lastly, if you can be bothered to build Nginx 1.4 (1.4.2 is the latest version at the time of writing), you can enable SPDY support as well.
