Please also note UInvest as a crowdfunding platform:

https://uinvest.com.ua/?amigosid=32511

It's primarily oriented towards established local businesses as opposed to new startups.

But nonetheless it's a good example of crowdfunding in action.

> I agree with you about the only constant in life being change

Change and motion are apparent. The only constant in life is LIFE ITSELF, which is stated as:

1 - balance (if one word is enough)

2 - rhythmic balance (if two words will do)

3 - rhythmic balanced interchange (if 3 words are necessary)

or cold still white magnetic light = life itself = rest = balance...

Change and motion are false information gained by sensing.

I will now step down off my Walter Russell soapbox and humbly request you read "The Secret of Light" by aforesaid :)

"""Employees are a hassle, a waste of time and ploney and a psychic energy sink. You should avoid them at all costs.

qooxdoo solved all the problems of web development long ago in a single simple uniform complete way.

As long as you arent forced to use apologetic strap-on technologies, I see no reason to look elsewhere.

How does Newegg recoup the loss of time and money involved in raising this lawsuit?

Wouldnt it make sense for Hacker News to provide an affiliate URL to Newegg? After all, you wouldnt be shopping there if it werent for YC notifying you of their noble actions - YC is driving business to them and receiving no sales commissions.

Re:Tornado - the best Python web framework on Monday January 28, 2013 @11:39AM (#5129218)
Flask has manual routing. Nagare creates URLs and binds then to Python actions automatically. It also has a global session object as opposed to indepedent sessions per Python object.

All three of those are trapped into the paradigm of receiving URLs and routing them to python methods.

Read this: http://www.nagare.org/trac/wiki/NagareDescription

and see how those 3 frameworks fit exactly what Nagare frees you from.
