Looks to me that the name is not taken. Do you want to try again and ping me if you have any problems?
Right now stacks are set based on preference, compatibility to cloud providers, etc
We will enable custom stack soon!
Yes, once you installed virtualbox and our command line tool, stkr, a virtual machine will be downloaded automatically and a stack of your choice will be set up locally.

Visit getting started page https://www.stackrocket.com/docs/getting_started or ping me if you have more questions.

Howdy HN users, right now we have Rails, Django and PHP stacks available. We'll be adding more stacks in coming weeks.
In addition to Olivier's comment, we will also have deployment option to popular cloud providers such as Heroku, PHPFog and EC2
It would help but most private companies don't report annual revenues.
I agree. The data is not consistent but it's probably the most well-maintained and accessible data (with its api) to my knowledge.

That is the reason I look at investments from 2005 since most investments prior to that were not entered.

What if you had bought Apple call options instead of AAPL stock?

If you bought AAPL April $200 Call on Feb. 1 (at $10.20), you would made around 370% return. But obviously trading options is more risky, because you have to get both the direction and timing right.

"Work on building a "robust" society, capable of withstanding errors, in which the role of finance (hence debt) would be minimal. We want a society in which people can make mistakes without risk of total collapse. Silicon Valley offers a good example, where people have the chance to fail fast (and repeatedly)."

The main issue is Apple's consistency with the App approval process. This is the screenshot taken from Wolfenstein 3D on App Store, showing multiple shootings, body on floor and blood.

I have my eyes on the 13" 2.0GHz Macbook w/ 4GB Ram and SSD. The price adds up to be a little more than entry-level MBP. What do you guys think?
