rynop··on How to throttle the FCC to dial up modem speeds
I'd be willing to bet Tom Wheeler and the "higher ups" of the FCC are not at the office a majority of the time.

It would be sweet if businesses in the service industry (like lets say Manny's) had pics of the top X guys at the FCC in their kitchen. See one of them walk in - just delay their service ;)

Here is Tom Wheeler http://tinyurl.com/mlwnlgr

Sent a ticket to help@posterous.com a week ago, no response.

I know this was a YC project, hoping this problem will get some visibility on here.

side q - is posterous getting neglected now that it is under twitter?

rynop··on Speeding up PHP with the HipHop VM
First off thanks for all the hard work. Do you have a list of the php extensions you support? I’m wondering if things like cURL, memcache, pdo MySQL etc are supported. I found https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/wiki/Extensions-and-m... but its a bit outdated (last mod 2yrs ago).

Also wondering what APC methods you support.

How much did the infrastructure cost - roughly? I know your not gonna give it to me, but breakdown of CDN vs AWS costs would be sweet to know.
rynop··on Ask HN: what do you use for shared PW storage?
I would really like to use a hosted solution, but I'm so hesitant to trust them. What got you over that hump? Do they have any sort of agreement in place if they leak you data, or do you sign your rights away at acct creation time?

Curious is there anything you don't you like about passpack?

No that's cool - it probably gets more "street cred" not coming from the author :)

I'll start replying to those reddit threads, thanks for doing this.

When uploading your replay, you have complete control over HUD options

This isn't a replacement for the replay tool. Its like the NFL: teams have access to every camera angle possible - but I'll tell you they couldn't live without the overhead cam once they had it :)

I think my idea appeals to: * moderate to very active player. People who want to a) analyze their gameplay (like nfl/nhl/nba/* teams watching film) b) show others something cool/bad that happened * tournaments and tourney players. There are tons of avenues here and potential. Not gonna go into it here. * pros. I think to really appeal to them I need some more features. I have some good ones in mind that I think would be useful. Hopefully I get some traction on this POC so I can implement em.

I personally fell into the 1st cat - I wanted a way to watch replays w/o having game installed. I wanted to watch it from anywhere AND see exactly what the opp. was doing at the same time as me. I don't like doing the player-to-player comparison w/in the SC2 replay tool.

I think this also opens the game to a user base who may not otherwise be exposed to the game (the real game, not just trailer or clips). AKA people who kinda know what SC2 is, and are gamers. This 0 barrier to entry exposes potential new customers of the game.

Gotcha - got an idea and a todo: https://github.com/rynop/ggreplayz/issues/7
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
thanks for the info. I actually have all the build order data at my disposal, just not sure how to expose it in a useful way. Anyone got some ideas?

That SMILE is effing sick. I'm def gonna work on integrating that...WOW

Hmmm i like where ur going here. What if i added annotations where u could tag points in time. U could share these notes w friends and teammates. It be cool if i had a img of the full map that u could also place these tags on and draw on it. That kinda ur vision? I think that b sweet
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
You must play SC2 :) Yea I have a few ideas on how to monetize and leverage tournaments and pro players. This is still a proof of concept phase really - if people like it, and it gets some traction you'll start seeing some of your thoughts being targeted. With that being said, I am working on things in the near term to target a few of those.
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
Thanks for the input. Yea I went YT cuz I dont have much time/$ to invest now, unlimited vid length in YT is hard to pass up to get an idea off the ground.

I made it flexable however, that if it takes off I can switch to a diff vid streaming provider.

Good call on #4, will do.

rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
not a bad idea, will think about it
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
hard work and lots of problem solving - and a bit of magic :)
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
Thanks for the constructive criticism, while I agree it could be better, the problem isn't really that easy to solve.

First off, keep in mind im going towards a pretty small niche here - people that will actually spend time on my app are power users. Gamers who are into tech, and want options.

There are alot of video options, but given my resources this was the optimal solution IMO - and not being modest, I think its a pretty novel solution.

The "huge" sidebar was my solution to not much real estate to put quality vids, while still giving flexability to break down a replay. I could hide the controls, but it does take away a bit of flex (if u want to rewind one player for example). My target audience is people who are good with computers.

I do like the single stream idea however, I can work on that in the future.

rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
I have actually - a while ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft2/comments/t3ya3/feedback_o...

I haven't had time to improve it much since then. My plan is to post it here (and get a perspective from a diff audience, tech saavy but not my target). Once I iron out some more things, I'll post on reddit.

rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
haha yea, I'll get right on that ;)
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
If this gains some traction (aka $) I have ideas on how to scale it. I also have a theory for multiple on a machine, just haven't had time/resources to proof of concept it.
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
haha nope. I record it real time then encode.
rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
Thx! I tried side-by side but width of the videos actually take up more space on your 16:9 monitor. I have a TODO to make the replays dragable/dropable to where ever u want.

Cant do sounds cuz its from 2 diff persons perspectives. Also, I dont like the sounds :) I get better framerate w/ em off too.

will do on the production tab

rynop··on Show HN: multi-perspective StarCraft 2 web replays
Not quite sure I get what your looking for, but if you are looking for statistics, you can see those in the hover menu on the right. If your looking for a more textual representation of the replay, give me some specifics and I'll see what I can do.
