50th seems a bit of an anomaly in your list? Otherwise there would be no stop between 42nd and Columbus Circle (I assume you mean the AC line?)

Its highly unlikely that any of those 4 people are DOJ employees. More likely 4 traders that have been interviewed and confirmed as much to the journalist.

Hah I had an Immortal character on that MUD named Spactula. That was a fun group of people.

You might need them to reverse or refund the transaction with some payment gateways. Or if you are going to settle the funds at a time after authorization when shipping

The screenshot looks like the IDE is Visual Studio Code, but I only see instructions for setup with IntelliJ and Android Studio (Is that Android Studio? I've never used that before)

Yeah, it was just a prototype to protect live video streaming on Android devices... Performance was pretty bad and so the frame rate was pretty low. I think it would work decently for desktop Flash. JW Player have a HLS plugin for Flash which is pretty good, a lot more fleshed out than my prototype ended up being.

Apple do something similar http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Networ... this approach is more secure than what we de (Restrict access to the manifest file and have Flash request the current key when needed at runtime).

HBO and pretty much any major Network all have iOS apps.

HLS streaming can be protected, you can encrypt the chunks and decrypt on the player. Ironically enough for my previous job I built a HLS prototype solution that did exactly this... in the Flash Player.

Its neither, feedback supplied to the "Show HN" type posts would generally be positive, or at least constructive and polite. Even if there was no feedback to offer, people would still leave a congratulatory comment about launching.

4-5 years ago it felt like the only people who understood what you went through to launch were people on this site, everyone else including family and fellow co-workers at big corp were negative about the idea of leaving a "safe job" to pursue a dream.

But now with everyone having an idea about the next big app, and blockbuster movies coming out about the geeky kid who did follow his dream, everyone else is starting to "get" us, they can relate. So the feedback you get from outside of HN has become positive, and so the feedback from HN has become more of a "reality check".

I don't see why it just can't be polite but constructive though.

I had the exact same problem, tried about 10 times and failed each time, even though I was sure they were right.

When I created a new account though it worked first time, not sure if there is a problem with verifying existing accounts...

I really like your product, and I also like Trello, but unfortunately our corporate policy is to avoid hosting data on third party servers so I can't use either. These products would make a great tool for my small team.

This is not a suggestion just a comment/wish, I'd like to see some app like yours offer the ability to store/retrieve data from a web service that we can provide to you but written to your specification, not sure if something like that is possible, but it would be preferable to a packaged application my small team cannot afford. I haven't seen a SaaS app take this approach, but it is interesting to think how it might work. UI as a Service?

On the Shopping List page, should the button read "Edit List" not "Edit Menu". Looks like I can use that for the secret ingredient, I can just use a recipe online close to what mine is, then add the one or two things to the list.

* Also was pleasantly surprised to see ColdFusion. Are you using CF9 or one of the open source servers?

This looks like something I would use, great site and idea. Can you add your own recipes as well, there are a couple of "Family Secret" recipes I have that I cook regularly.
