The cost reduction going from dedicated to cloud can be enormous on the order of $30,000 a month down to $5,000(for us + restructuring our architecture). But this idea of 100,000 customers not exactly great because many of them might all be $15.00 a month clients, which is not the same as their previous clients.

Just got done rewriting our companies stats server, that was processing logfiles with ruby...bleh. Now using Resque and a few awk scripts I cut a 2 day job down to an hour. The code was written when our logs were small now we need something faster, and just happened to be alot less code.

So just a question is this legal? Taking something that is free and charging for it on the app store. Just a question, because I like it and want to use something like this on my android(going to try http://mhm.gd/hn)

It is really missing Monday - Friday. Otherwise I like the idea.

I only poll it every 5 minutes. I didn't want to over do it, and the frequency didn't matter that much to me. I just like to see the change over time.

Yeah Faye makes it dead simple to set up the channels to communicate on but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of filtering for the channels. I am sure it is something that could be added, but I didn't take the time yet.

Thanks!

Eh... Go play, I built the site to learn how these technologies would work together. I learned that its cool and very simple to hookup but that means with simplicity comes some extra work to secure it. I'll work out the kinks later and do a writeup but what I learned and post the source.

Yeah this is not a fully bullet proof system, it is just an experiment, something that I use and thought I would share, if you want to play around with the technology check out the urls on the about page.

Yeah I will make that change good point. Done

Yeah The Users Online will update every 5 minutes, and I will improve the presentation, just kinda doing it for myself and wrote it in a few hours so haven't put much style into it. Thanks for checking it out! I could have it update every minute and the arrows would be noticed earlier and maybe I should move it closer to the number of the article.

This is my experiment using Comet, Faye, Sinatra, and Redis. Let me know what you think. I keep it open all day and watch stories move up and down without missing the ones that fall off the front page.

If you mouse over the items they will highlight, other users can see the mouse over as well. More Info is on the About page http://toseeitlive.com/about

Haha, good point about the []. And also thank you for the input on the feedback link.

Thanks should be fixed now.

There is a test room that never expires(The rooms created expire after 20 minutes) if you want to chat with others from HN http://www.squarechat.com/hntest

Tried it out searched a book cover...worked searched some text on a page worked... I wasn't going outside in 20 degree weather to check on the locations but from inside it kinda worked... not bad

Currently using it and love it. Now just needs apps on mobile devices.

Site isn't working for me, but the github url is http://github.com/slact/nginx_http_push_module

I have been happy and responsive..... and it has never had to come..... OS X!!!!!

Its not that one place or another is a great place for startup xyz it is the fact that Omaha is in the middle of the country and no one associates it with creativity, entrepreneurship, or technology. But there is a growing group of people in those scenes here, and we have as much to offer talent wise as the bigger cities.... If you can't tell I am biased because I live in Omaha and know most of the people they are talking about in the article. But you are right there is no reason why some city should not be included, so make it a point to be the one that gets these people together in your city and make it happen. That is what so many of the people in this article are doing, growing a community, and making things happen.
