Same reaction. They might be super transparent and everyone (in the comments at the bottom of the post) are in awe of it, but these numbers just make no sense.

I don't get it. What's the point of your post? You don't think there's any value in sharing how they did it? You really think they might bet copied and eventually failed because they shared their stories on HN or something?

Ask HN: What's the best solution for non-recurring payment?

Posted by philgo20 on Tuesday April 24, 2012 @08:18PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Re:Ask HN: Jobs/skills required in big data on Wednesday March 28, 2012 @09:17PM (#3769188)
I would start by looking at job description in hot "big data" startup to see what skills and technology they list. That should get you started and avoid learning the wrong stuff.

Re:Results of Joel Spolsky's "What Programmers Want" Survey on Friday February 10, 2012 @12:56AM (#3574715)
After reading about Joel Spolsky "What Programmers Want" survey, I thought it'd be interesting to know how programmers feel about their current employer.

Fill up the 3 questions survey, it really takes 3 minues https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEx6LUN...

Thank you already for taking the time, we'll publish the result on matchFWD blog at http://blog.matchfwd.com as soon as we have significant data.
