abscondment

How does this not constitute libel? I'm not a lawyer, so the question is in earnest.

I'm very open to correction, but won't the increased time complexity of bcrypt also mitigate this kind of attack?

This seems specious. Correctly assigning blame won't matter to readers; most people couldn't care less. Sticking a different brand name on the failure is side-stepping the issue: nothing stays up 100% of the time. Create a custom page that treats the situation with a little bit of levity.

If legitimate downtime happens often enough that someone would actually internalize the difference between your failures and Heroku's, you have bigger problems than your error page.

Tests are a nice first pass, but they'll never fully discover every bug -- especially with a huge change like this.

I'm 27, with a wife and three kids. I've been working full-time on my own startup for the past 9 months. Without salary.

See, there are plenty of us who can kick ass and raise a family at the same time. Not to mention plan and budget responsibly. In fact, you might really want to hire people who are good at that sort of thing, rather than the Red Bull-chugging, couch-sleeping, college codemonkey stereotype. But I suppose stereotyping is what got us here in the first place, and that's not fair to Red Bull aficionados.

I guess I'd just rather you let me and other prospective employees assess the risks for ourselves. That means frank discussion about clear, accurate information. But don't curtail things because of personal bias.

Even on iOS 4, the iPhone 3G doesn't support multitasking.

Personally, I find myself disagreeing with both sides too much for this to be effective at all.

I'm not going to say one should or shouldn't vote Democrat. But, there are too many considerations on which I'm unwilling to compromise to just vote for the enemy of my enemy. Neither party is your friend.
