To add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).

Except one cup in metric is 250 ml, not the ~236ml that a US cup is.

Stax / Versent | Backend Developer | Melbourne, Australia | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.stax.io/
We build software to help companies understand how they're spending on AWS and to track compliance - We want to help make everyone be even better at AWS.
We're located in Melbourne CBD, with a team that works remotely / from home part of the time, but onsite as some onsite time is likely required (but we're open to discussions).
We're heavy users of AWS ourselves, and exist within the bigger scope of Versent. The product is developed in a mix of languages, with this role mainly working with Ruby and Go, but we're happy to chat to any experienced backend developers.
To apply, and view a bit more, see https://versent.workable.com/j/515ECA4C82

I'm pretty sure from my experience it's not a shared instance - you can create multiple databases easily.
The limitations are presumably so that they have control over settings for things like replication and their features that you can't mess with.

Another one here - I know of a few others under 25 and on HN as well.

Check at the top on the front page or any of the show pages - there is an option to toggle to search movies as well.

We used compass and sass to make certain things (e.g. CSS3 cross browser) a little simpler, but the rest was coded from scratch I believe.

Thanks gibybo - Our motivation for region issues is mostly due to being Australia based and constantly hitting issues with finding content (Our TV networks have a pretty bad rep, to the point where we're often one of the top pirating nations for shows - e.g. http://delimiter.com.au/2012/05/22/australia-top-game-of-thr...). giby.tv looks very cool by the way.
It's indeed quiet a hard problem to solve - and I think it's going to be one of the biggest issues going forward for exactly the reasons you mention. Another one on top of that (another fun one: different punctuation in names, inc. in the year and region suffixes).
There are a bunch of data sources we tap into / plan on tapping into the near future that we hope will help solve these issues even more.
(The two of us developers work on music stuff which face very similar issues - the annoyance of dealing with album, track and artist names across services is a constant frustration).

I believe it's all CSS3 stuff.

If it's an ruby hash, that's unintentional. I changed one of the I18n paths in the app at 5am (the competition finished at 8am for us) and changed it in most places around the site. I missed the home page (since it uses image replacement) but in some configurations (e.g. I think Retina MBPs in Chrome) it shows up still.
We can't modify code until post-judging, so it has to wait until then to be fixed. And thanks, the cover animation was the work of our wonderful designer, @levibuzolic on twitter.

Oh, and suggestions for other countries with decent streaming services would rock!

Hey guys - Our team made findthin.gs in 48 hours last weekend for this years Rails Rumble (http://railsrumble.com/). We built it because we're from Australia and sick of finding online services that are region restricted or don't carry what we want.
Thus, we wanted to make it super simple to find where you can legitimately watch tv series and movies online by taking the hard work out of finding where it's viewable.
Our current version only searches Hulu, Netflix (in the US - If anyone has advice on international API's for them, I'd love to know) as well as iTunes. We're planning to support a bunch more services (in the US, Canada, Great Britain and Australia) in the next few weeks.
Also, it's a bit buggy (due to time constraints) and I'm not sure how well it works in non-WebKit browsers, but we'd love to know what you think.
