wvanwazer··on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL
It is 9.3.1.
wvanwazer··on Reeder 2 for iOS
Apple is apparently already approving releases built against the iOS 7 SDK, so it may indeed be an iOS 7 app already.

David Smith (FeedWrangler, and a bunch of other things) has had an iOS 7 update approved too: https://twitter.com/_DavidSmith/status/378147860774395905

wvanwazer··on The New Yorker Strongbox
This is just blatantly untrue. Take a look at Pulitzer Prizes for Investigative Journalism since 2003 (http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Investigative-Reporting):

* The New York Times

* The Blade (Toledo, OH)

* Willamette Week (Portland, OR)

* The Washington Post

* The Birmingham (AL) News

* The Chicago Tribune

* The New York Times

* The New York Times

* ProPublica

* Philadelphia Daily News

* Sarasota Herald Tribune

* The Seattle Times

* The Associated Press

* The New York Times

If that's not a diverse group of news organizations, I don't know what it.

That also doesn't include things like the Walter Reed Army Medical center scandal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reed_Army_Medical_Center...), because it falls under the Public Service category: http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Public-Service.

wvanwazer··on Dear Tumblr, fix your damn RSS feed
Marco.org actually isn't on Tumblr anymore--he uses Second Crack, a blogging engine he wrote himself. Read more here: http://www.marco.org/secondcrack
wvanwazer··on Django 1.4 Beta 1 Release
I'm hoping this will fix some of that: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/back-to-django/
wvanwazer··on Show HN: Tunebox, Dropbox + iPhone = cloud music service
I thought so too, but it's $9.99 a month for 50 GBs, which is more than iTunes Match gives you, and comparable with services like Rdio and Spotify.
wvanwazer··on Xcode 4.1 now available free from the Mac App Store
It should. But if you're still having trouble, I found using this will always work for me:

sudo ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 pip install

wvanwazer··on Show HN: HN Trends - like Google Trends, but for Hacker News
Awesome tool, but just a heads up: I tried searching for "C" and "C++", and it gave me the exact same line each time.
wvanwazer··on Life lessons from the very wealthy
There's no paywall at the Washington Post...
wvanwazer··on Ask HN: Review my startup, Beansight.com
Also, "Read Experts" doesn't really make sense. You need another word at the end. Perhaps "Read Expert Predictions" or "Learn from Experts."
wvanwazer··on Skype opens competition for community redesign of Mac client
I was going to say this is a good idea, but after downloading what they give you, they don't let you change what people had the most problems with--the window layout, etc. Seems more and more like a publicity ploy to me.
