I agree with Woz. Any developers working with RDBMS should learn SQL. ORMs are just wrappers for SQL statements. They are not the same thing, and knowing one without the other means your skills are weak.

Many comments in this thread are painful to read.

http://mayone.us/distribution-plan/ " What payment processor do you use? Are my money and information safe?

We have decided upon using Stripe as our payment processor. Stripe has offered us a very competitive rate (for which we thank them), and Stripe is compliant with PCI requirements and no sensitive data hits our servers. When you enter in your credit card information, it is not stored on the mayone.us site and goes directly to Stripe via the Stripe.js API.

Or in short: Yes, your money and info are safe. "

Lessig and others have pointed out the US needs a constitutional amendment to fix the problems with campaign finance that are the root cause of the problem.

This isn't hacker news unless you mention someone like Lessig in relation to this.
