Just curious, do you get access to the full un-minified Redactor source code once you get a license?

Easy plugin development and unstyled contentEditables are the top two reasons we chose Hallo over Redactor for our project.

Took a long look at Aloha, but it has such a big footprint that it scared me away.

Thanks for the pointer to CKEditor 4, I wasn't aware they had an inline mode.

Glad to see that contenteditable-type editors are becoming more viable. Looks like Copybar uses Redactor, but I'm hoping bergie's http://hallojs.org/ gets a lot more traction since it's the only one that's MIT licensed.

Sorry, I did not mean to offend. And I admit that in hindsight it is a weak analogy at best.

When I wrote that, I was thinking of consumer software specifically, and by a "programmer who is not concerned with design" I had in mind those that just care about implementation details, while not valuing the importance of end user experience. And I've met quite a few programmers like this, mostly in larger companies. You know you've found one when their sentences start with "Why doesn't the user just..."

In your expanded example, the fact that the line cook is concerned with the taste of the dish (e.g. after genetic modification) already implies that they care about the "design" of the dish. If, however, there is much more concern around how the cookware is organized in the kitchen, or which brand of vegetable oil should be bought, that has almost no tangible benefits to the person eating the meal.

This is a very exciting trend, and I'm glad more designers are jumping into code. As an art school dropout who later finished a CS degree, the combination of skills is invaluable.

I honestly believe that the most difficult work in creating something new/innovative is skewed to the design side, so I hope we see a corresponding trend as well: programmers becoming more interested in design.

I like to think of 'creative coders' as great chefs - not only can they dream up a great tasting dish, they can also roll up their sleeves and turn it into an actual meal. A (web/app) designer who shies away from code is like the visionary chef who needs to rely on others to do the cooking, while a programmer who is not concerned with design is little more than a line cook following instructions.

Edit: spelling.

If a web designer adds this script to a non-HTTPS page, is that still the case?

If I understand correctly, Icebox is not a direct competitor to Dropbox. If anything, it enhances the Dropbox experience, so you could argue that it could help Dropbox get more users/customers.

In which way is "position:fixed" not behaving as intended? Just curious because this seems to be the textbook use case for fixed positioning.

Thank you! That helps a lot.

Totally agree about getting everyone on the same page and putting things on paper. The main reason I asked, however, is cost. Some lawyers have squishy/unpredictable pricing when it comes to formation and advice, while the fixed "good" ones are not cheap (e.g. ~$5K). Others try to wave their hands around pricing and just use a "pay it later" approach, but we'd rather keep things simple. I was just wondering if it's safer to get YC help/guidance to make sure we don't get burned, in case we get in since the timing between now and the deadline is almost a rounding error.

PG, if my co-founder and I are currently bootstrapping a company and starting to work with a law firm to go through all the formalities of incorporation, would you recommend holding off on that for a few months in case we are accepted into YC? It's not cheap (by far) to pay for that stuff out of pocket, and I imagine YC has a lot more experience guiding young companies through the formation process, so curious about your opinion. Thanks.

Oh, I see, thank you! For some reason, I had assumed that it was used for storing local user accounts.

Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, but why does OS X need to encrypt and store my actual password? The prevailing best practice seems to be that app owners should only have enough information to determine whether a password is correct (e.g. hashing, bcrypt, etc), but not enough information to get the a user's actual password (without impractical heavy computation). Is there a good reason why this is any different for OS X?

I'm in the same boat as the OP, and was able to find health insurance for about $500/month for a family of 4. The main catch is that it's a very high deductible, so we'd have to spend at least $5000 per year out of our own pocket (or HSA) for the insurance part to kick in. If I were to keep my old employer's coverage through COBRA, it would be closer to the $2000/month number. But if you're saving $1500 per month in premiums, and are reasonably healthy, having a high deductible "catastrophic" plan with some backup money in an HSA makes a lot of sense.

Off topic, but I'm very curious... why did you decide to launch on Labor Day? Aside from the slight symbolic connection to your product, aren't you concerned that you'll have a much smaller audience due to the holiday?

Trying to access on my iPhone, and instead of a site I get a request to download a "fowndr.com.gz" file.

I've been using a Mac for over a year, and I've never had more than a few things on the desktop, whereas my Windows 7 boxes sometimes ran into the problem that Shade is addressing.

Seems like OSX is much friendlier to organization and discovery. With Spotlight and tools like Alfred, all my apps and files are pretty much always a few keystrokes away, so storing stuff on the desktop becomes suboptimal.

Storing 500GB on S3 would cost me over $60/month, which is pretty hard to swallow.

I'm in the same boat as nchuhoai, but I now have over 500GB of photos and videos to worry about (get a DSLR and some photogenic kids, and you'll see how quickly the GBs add up, even after heavy editing/deletion).

With DSLRs becoming more popular, and HD-quality video becoming more mainstream, I suspect that storing, sharing, and backing up these memories will become a much bigger concern for many people. Snapjoy's pricing page currently maxes out at 155GB @ $15/month, so that's clearly not going to cut it.

I use Picasa to manage all the photos/videos, and used to actually pay Google $100/year for 400GB of storage, until they increased it to $19.99/mo (2.4x more) and started to creepily over-share private photos on Google+. I also used to pay Mozy to back everything up, until they removed their unlimited plan and asked me to pay over $70/month for the data I already had there. If I choose to go with iCloud keep all my HD originals, I'll be paying at least $1200 per year.

I still haven't been able to find just one service to fit my needs. I've been using Facebook to share low-res photos, KickSend to send hi-res originals to specific people, and CrashPlan to back everything up both offline (to an ioSafe drive) and to their cloud (which still has an unlimited option).

Really hoping someone really cracks this nut and offers a compelling service where "overage" charges are in the TB range. Though I would bet that Apple, Microsoft, etc are hoping that folks get used to these storage prices to the point where people are as used to paying them as their cable TV bill.

I thought Craigslist is suing 3taps because they scrape their site directly?

I can imagine some clever hacks where Padmapper uses Google targeted searches and Google's cache exclusively to get Craigslist data. Since Craigslist would never ask Google to remove them from their index, I wonder if Craigslist would still go after those who get their data as proxied by Google.

I had the same issue. In Chrome, if you go full screen, it lets you use the trackpad to scroll around.

Using something like Mixpanel, you should be able to track anything that happens in your JavaScript code. However, it's not just a insert-a-script-and-sit-back solution; you have to be diligent about the actions you want to track and actually add code to track them as they happen.

Is the order of the pricing options intentional? I'm seeing Medium, Large, Small, Tiny. It's sort of disorienting - seems like Large should be first.

Turn-around time has been really bad for me for two distinct problems with my MacBook. First, the LCD backlight went out, and the local Apple Store had to ship it to a service center, which resulted in a 4 day wait to get it back in my hands. Then I had several keys mysteriously stop working - they couldn't figure it out at the store, so it was another week waiting for it to come back.

Another upside for Apple with these ultra-portables is that AppleCare sales will probably increase significantly.

A lot of the two-character TLDs are already associated with countries.

The .ng extension is Nigeria's, and goes for a whopping $50,000 per year. [1]

The .ay TLD belongs to Adygea (a republic within Russia). [2]

Actually it's this: http://www.101domain.com/com_ng.htm

Like KingOfB, I wonder why "domain.ng" costs $50,000/year!

Edit: Apparently, they're banking on the extension being attractive for things like "im.facebooki.ng". Hmmm.
