I found a bug I think is related and fixed it, so hopefully this should work now if you try again.

Thanks for letting us know!

This should be fixed now. Thanks a lot for the report!

Hi, I work at Posthaven and we host his blog.

Odd, video on the site works for me on Firefox (25.0.1 on OS X), and we're actually using mediaelement.js which is listed on the page you link to. What OS/version of Firefox are you using?

I don't think it's an argument against Dixon's point, but I found this funny because I remember being so impressed with demo of Dropbox at the time. I remember knowing nothing about who Drew was, seeing this on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 and thinking something along the lines of, "that's brilliant, I hope he gets funded so I can use it."

Posterous! http://posterous.theresumator.com/apply/

That has not been my experience. While no one here would correct you, I've never heard it pronounced otherwise except when discussing the pronunciation (which comes up a lot).

He has been kind enough to share about his setup quite a lot about lately. In fact, looks like it's on the HN homepage right now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=872301

It's better at load balancing. For example it handles app servers that have gone down more gracefully. Also it generates an awesome stats page that gives you way more info about what's going on than you can get from Nginx.

Having Nginx in front is a lot more flexible that just having HAProxy listen on port 80. For example, it can serve static files and do redirects both of which don't need to pass through the whole load balanced stack.

They could use Nginx -> HAProxy -> Nginx(w/ passenger), but the Apache version feels slightly more mature (e.g. it has some config options that the Nginx version lacks) and it's likely they were already using it before the Nginx version came out.

True. They're linked in the FAQ: http://ycombinator.com/faq.html

How should applicants contact you?

It was certainly the first thing that came to mind for me. After seeing the URL, I was pretty disappointed not to find a magical nonthreatening pansexual spokesthing on the actual page.

This worked for me:

  (attribute a          title          opstring)    
  (def byline (i)
    (pr " by ")
    (let u i!by
     (tag (a href (user-url u)
             title (string "karma: " (karma u) 
                           " | created: " (text-age:user-age u)))
          (pr u)))
    (pr " " (text-age:item-age i) " "))

I didn't really look into the performance cost of calling uvar for every byline; that's probably not ideal.

I've assumed that this was how all good stand-up comedians come up with quality new material since seeing Comedian, the documentary about Seinfeld.

We're working on making things more flexible. If you have any specific questions about what you need please feel free to email me, brett at slinkset.

The biggest difference is that Slinkset is hosted whereas you have to host Pligg yourself, so Slinkset is going to be a lot easier to get up and running quickly. With Pligg you'll have full control over the source code, but we're pretty proud of how much control you get at Slinkset through an easy to use web interface. With this in mind it makes a lot of sense to at least try Slinkset first.

If you choose Slinkset and have any issues or ideas, we'd love to help out. Please feel free to email me: brett at slinkset.

I'd be pretty shocked if it did.

It used to be in the menu.

Looks like a bit under 200km

The table claims to be from a year-long survey of 1.2 million people with only a bachelor's degree.

I'm a bit biased, but in my experience philosophy majors tend to be pretty smart and philosophy degrees don't lend themselves to any particular career path. So I don't find it surprising that there's a big gap between where philosophy majors start and where they end up. And the initial number is probably especially skewed downward by lack of initial direction (I would have been ecstatic if my first job out of college paid $39k).

We've seen it used w/ success for original content. e.g. http://justhackit.slinkset.com/

And feel free to email brett at slinkset if you need help.

Precisely. We're working on premium features.
