I'd love to be on the list. Thanks, proexploit!
Unfortunately, it shares Firefox's sloppy page scroll performance. Bleh. Guess I'll be sticking with Safari.
the usual trick is to use a local_settings.py.
put all of your environment-specific variables in there, and put 'from local_settings.py import *' at the end of your settings.py

There's been a lot of talk about even-driven web servers lately - nodejs and Tornado come to mind - but I've not seen much discussion about _why_ we should or shouldn't be using event-driven architectures for our sites.What's the downside? Why shouldn't I be using an event-driven architecture for all of my sites?
That's one of his points. At the risk of sounding non-HN-esque, rtfa.
If you put your email and what you're looking for in your profile, some of those people might come to you. HN is a good filter.

I'm interested in the opinion of HN readers: PG says 'start from how to make money'; should j-startups be starting from advertising, or paywalls, or something else entirely?

Add Washington to that list as well.
Despite the laughability of some parts of the article I think Calacanis nearly hits on something interesting with regard to Apple, Microsoft, antitrust, and the difference between a computer and a mobile phone.
As the iPhone becomes closer and closer to a full-blown 'computer', at what point do the EU authorities, who sanctioned Microsoft for simply _including_ a browser with its OS, go after Apple for not allowing any browser other than Apple's own? When does the degree of separation become too small to be considered relevant? I'd be surprised if there wasn't an antitrust inquiry into Apple's practices with Mobile Safari in the next couple years if things don't change.
Furthermore, what will users come to expect when the hardware of their phone is functionally indistinguishable from their laptop besides the fact that they can put it in their pocket? Will the software restrictions so readily accepted for mobile devices be accepted on PCs? Of course, the PC and mobile phone industries have evolved from completely different places, but I think there will be a point where users will come to expect the same from their home and mobile computers. Where will the expectation line be drawn?
Care to elaborate? I've never considered Python to be nearly as 'long-winded and painful' as Java.
Geocities WAS around in 1996 - but Weebly was started in 2006/2007, and they're doing quite well, business model and all. The "website builder" space is likely not saturated, and there's definitely room in business areas such as the author was originally targeting. Again, it's all about the implementation.
