That's a cool idea. If you combined it with a Coin style card that allowed you to switch cards on the fly you could not worry about blowing your budget.

It costs? For what?!

Congrats guys. How about tht international[1] now please. :)

Seems like great timing with the ember conversation on the front page too. Isn't ember a offshoot of backbone?

That seems like a slow process if you're "oh shit, rollback, rollback, rollback!"

Any light on how to pull back once a change has been deployed? If it's version controlled you can check out a previous version but do you automate tht?

Is there a timeline on this wait list?

This assumes traditional engineering == big teams

I've created dozens of sites and never really noticed any CSS performance issues.

I have got orders of magnitude faster sites by combining CSS or js files, gzipping content, adding cache control headers, serving via a cdn and not serving code that's not used.

I've also really benefitted from using logical markup and CSS selectors, not those designed for "efficiency" of the computer rendering them.

The new homepage you dudes have is a big improvement. Why haven't you blogged about how you're previewing this stuff on GitHub? It's fun to watch a start up growing and changing there and I think it it's in really well with the MVP/agile mindset

This is very cool. I'm not a ruby dev but just coming into this thread and finding out there are alternatives for my languages is fantastic.

Congrats on a cool product and I'm glad it was posted here.

I'm not sold on the name Bank Payments. I can pay many things at a bank.

In (financial) layman a terms this is ACH credits and debits.

Do you have any links backing that statement up?

It sounds plausible but I'd love to verify it. I have no idea what % of people in the emergency room are uninsured and what % are not in an emergency setting.

Hosted mongo/celery/other infrastructure.

I want to write code, not maintain services

Here's what the data says - Elon Musk is generating a ton of hype by calling these guys out. Right or wrong it's a savvy move.

How do you achieve such low costs?

Great idea, this is called an authorization hold for credit cards however I believe most banks will only honor this for about 7 days.

I'd love to hear more about why he'll work on at Dropbox.

Did you look at Wepay or authorize.net? They both seem like they do money in and out as well. I'd love to see a neutral party summarize the field for payment processing as it's quite hard to see what the differences are without doing some digging.

Do they at least ping you to let you know you're out of funds? In an ideal world I'd hope they'd extend you some credit.

I concur. Why not spend money disrupting the industry with a decentralized service or similar instead of buying an existing player with all their baggage?

Their fibre push seems to be much more the style I would expect.

Whatever they can get away with would be my guess

I like the idea of contributing but it would be nice if I could give a simple up vote rather than having to add a full comment. You may get weighed down by "me too +1" comments.
