raghus··on Twitter finally in the money with Google link
Four score and seven eons ago, Yahoo! paid Google to power their search results and we know how that played out.

And now Google is paying Twitter to power their real-time search results? If I were Biz Stone, I'd be cheerful too.

raghus··on Ask HN: What APIs do you wish existed?
Zillow is a start but there is a ton of data that is tied behind MLS licensing and Realtor associations. That data should be free and public.

Doesn't the gasoline tax we pay in the US accomplish the exact same thing without all the fancy GPS and central data gathering business?
raghus··on Go! -- the non-Google programming language by Keith Clark and Francis McCabe.
True, but at the heart of this assertion is that Go was already a language name that was taken _before_ Google used it.

Which might entirely be true.

But that assertion would be strengthened by pointing to a link/post that was somewhat _older_.

raghus··on Ask HN: Review our elevator pitch (Stormpulse)
Stormpulse.com is intuitive weather display. We tame complex weather data and visualize it in context. Other weather sites begin with maps and add weather data. We craft weather-centered presentations that foster understanding. And we're piloting the world's first human-consensus forecasting system.

We're building Stormpulse to reduce the costs of severe weather, which affects millions worldwide.

Our weather maps have regularly appeared on CNN and are displayed on 750+ websites, from media sites such as USA Today and ThomsonReuters to intranets at places like Boeing and the Mayo Clinic. We've averaged over a million visits each month for the past one year. Hundreds of thousands of our visitors are decision-makers at Fortune 100 companies in the energy, defense, and transportation industries.

Before Stormpulse, we wrote software that automated the presentation of rich catalog content for a distributor of over 400,000 products.

We're making money and are ready to fuel the growth of Stormpulse with funding from smart, qualified and passionate investors. We're starting to contact interested parties, and would love to show you what we're building.

raghus··on The Netflix Zen Master
Sorry, but for now this is not 100% self-service. Once you're logged in, just submit the feedback text field with something like 'please delete my account' and I'll be sure and know exactly which a/c to delete. It should be deleted in a few hours at most.
raghus··on The Netflix Zen Master
Yes, absolutely
raghus··on Forget Starbucks, work at the library instead
The library staff is a lot more nervous about the library being empty than they are about it being full.

This I can attest to.

At our local public library there's a lady who is constantly picking up and re-shelving kids books only to have some kids take a bunch out and toss most of them on the table or the floor.

When I asked her if she wasn't frustrated, she said counter-intuitively that she's actually happy to come in to the section and find a ton of books to re-shelve.

raghus··on The Netflix Zen Master
Not at all. As far as I can tell, Netflix is very supportive of FeedFliks. They did want me to change the name from FeedFlix to FeedFliks.

And yeah - if you can get the ZenMaster to post what his stats look like on FeedFliks, that would be great too!

raghus··on The Netflix Zen Master
No, not exactly quick-sprint :-)
