"Real messaging" aside, this is an interesting question. It'd be great to hear from iain_hecker if they considered using RabbitMQ (or similar) and if yes, why SQS/SNS were chosen.

Also, I'd be interested to read more about how you handle authentication across web/mobile. Thank you for the blog post and for taking the time to answer questions here. :-)

If it isn't the Thoughtbot one, could you please provide a link to your book?

Saving time doesn't necessarily mean laziness, especially if one has to meet tight deadlines (which may or may not be the case here).

I don't understand why the grand parent is being down-voted, he just offered an different view.

I recommend the videos at http://ideveloper.tv. They are high quality and the conversational style really helps.
Re:Why does the iPad 2 cost $100 less than the first iPad? on Wednesday March 30, 2011 @05:57AM (#2386475)
The conclusion of the article is that by pricing relatively low, Apple makes "the attractive new market for tablets a lot less attractive for companies planning to sell less than 10 million tablets this year."

While the claim that the new iPad is cheaper than its predecessor aims to highlight Apple's pricing strategy, it is not a premise. Even if the iPad 2 was more expensive than the original iPad, it could still be cheap in relation to competitive offerings. It could be sold at a price allowing only for small profit margins without economies of scale. His premise is that it is.

At http://www.dashboardtosuccess.com/take-a-tour.html the smaller photo has a visible iStockPhoto watermark. You probably forgot to replace it with the right one I suppose.

I agree with ookblah above. Also, letting people donate with PayPal would decrease the friction of making one. Best of luck!

It would take out the element of scarcity.

Even if the train doesn't fill up, you still need to pay for your ticket to compensate for the fixed costs.
This made me laugh too actually :-)
Re:Ask HN: Who knows about Ad Networks? on Sunday November 21, 2010 @08:59PM (#1928482)
What's the best way to reach you privately to discuss about technology that works with ad exchanges? Also, are there any blogs/resources for someone interested in building something similar to invitemedia? Thanks
