We've started additional AWS Instances and things should be working normally and just a few minutes.

UPDATE (9:52 PST): We now have 5 machines processing & resizing photos. There are still 6,500 photos left in the upload queue from earlier today. We're processing them LIFO so it may take us a few more minutes for us to get to the photos uploaded early this morning.

Since the queue is so large expect new photo uploads to take longer than they normally should.

If you have any more problems please email us directly: human -åt- divvyshot -dºt- com

The same works for events; just substitute an e.

We'll expand support as soon as we can but we're at the mercy of the browsers here.

Very talented guy. There are a couple CSS hacks in there that don't exist anywhere else on the 'net. Try to find them!

The problem is that we can only expect GPS to be accurate to 1-2km and the phone clocks are often off by 1+ seconds. This makes it difficult in metropolitan areas when multiple transfers can occur simultaneously within a 1-2km radius.

Oh well, you can't get everything right.

If you're not in person, just use the app email him a link to the event.

We've also considered a 4 digit pin but that confused users. It turns out that users intuitively understand the shake UX to transfer the contents from one phone to another.

"Email me and I can spot you some cash (if your story is legit)."

Don't take it the wrong way, just one HNer helping another.

We can also talk about subcontracting work if you're interested.

If you look at Berkshire Hathaway Holdings' balance sheet (1), you'll find their largest asset class is "Equity securities." Equity securities == stock.

Most other assets on the balance sheet are consolidated from subsidiary companies in which Berkshire... holds stock.

What most people don't realize is that buying stock is investing in the business.

5GB of S3 storage is $0.75/month before bandwidth.

Another suggestion: Use everydns.net for DNS. It's donation-based (http://www.everydns.com/donate.php), powerful, reliable, and run by David Ulevitch of opendns.com.

- Accept keyboard input. Some users might find it easier to press a key rather than use a mouse or even a touch screen. It would enable support for stuff like this: http://www.usm.edu/ids/tlc/images/hw-ikeys.jpg

- Feature a big "copy text" button so that the user might be able to use your service and paste said text somewhere else on the web.

I've see too many founders (myself included) quit this lifestyle because they weren't an instant success.

Beware the "trough of sorrow."

"A Northwest Ohio start-up company is nearly ready to create 2,000 green auto industry jobs!" [1]

They've received 312,000 orders ... right. For comparison the tesla model S has received over 1,000 orders [2]. An order of magnitude difference. Why haven't we already heard of these guys?

Nobody does that because it's horrible business practice and a easy way to isolate yourself from the rest of the web. Regardless, we certainly don't need the government to enforce a behavior that individuals could easily adopt on their own.

These users are often more likely to use a less secure password in visible prompts out of fear of compromising their more secure ones.

In a month if anyone has built something cool with this code and wants the domain send me an email: firstname@lastname.com.

Let's give it another 30 minutes and make a decision at 3PM PDT.
