Randy was a fixture in our S11 batch and had as much of an insight into YC as the people in the program. He sat in on and experienced private meetings, office hours, social events, dinners, Demo Day, and fundraising so he is as qualified to write about YC as anyone. I just wrapped up the advance copy of The Launch Pad, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants an inside look at what life is like in YC.
Completely agree. Bad design to place card readers in non-obvious places. You should be basically unable to leave the station without running into one.
I let my Mac developer account lapse a few months ago, but at least here's how it worked with Lion:
If you went into the developer portal and claimed the App Store redemption code for the beta, then you were automatically licensed in the store for the release version as though you had paid for it.
If you didn't claim it for the beta, then you could still claim it after the fact and get a license to the release version.
Yes, the codes for the GM should automatically be translated into codes for the release version. If you have the GM build installed then you should get the first update to 10.8.1 the same way that the rest of us do.
But was it serving _your_ 500 error page? In which case you could make it say anything you want. Heroku platform errors are not 500s; they're 502s (or 503s, I forget).
