Same with my wife. Told her about blood diamonds, and how the price is artificially inflated. She agreed. Still got the diamond ring.

DB in RAM still requires to write to disk, which is often the bottleneck, not the reads.

32GB of RAM is $220 on Newegg.

Why would you call it a HTML5 library?

This is a canvas JS library.

> In many countries simply accessing a public server without consent is illegal

1) Set up a public server

2) Wait for google bot to show up

3) Press charges against google

4) Sue in civil court

5) Profit.

And in some countries you can only sue on the basis of an actual loss so as you haven't lost anything you have nothing to sue for...

There was a case where a search spider deleted all content from a database by following delete links. Would that count?

A) What did you give up for $650K?

B) $650K seems such a low amount of money, it's barely enough to hire 2-3 senior level developers for a year, and rent an office space. I have no idea how you guys launch startups with such small amounts of money.

Why would a startup so young would blow their money on hiring 2-3 senior level developers?

Why would they raise money otherwise? Not much point in raising +$500k if you plan to stay solo and coding at home.

You could hire lower-level dev staff, and you'll probably need some marketing and admin people, most of whom would be less expensive, and free more time up for a second round of fundraising (assuming that's a goal).

Why would you reduce your chances of success by hiring inexperienced developers?

Sure, ok. Hire one experienced person to train & supervise some fresh-outs, and solve the harder problems.

Are you serious?

That's not far from the truth for locations like SF bay area.

If you plan on hiring people and rent an office space, it definitively won't give the company a long life span.

Absolutely horrible design.

No, it's not just him. Yoda conditions are hard to read, because they don't follow the natural language. You don't say "If 5 dollars is more than what I have...", instead you say "If I have less than 5 dollars ...".
