Finally got one - it kept saying "the product was not added to your cart because it just went out of stock" over and over, but then I checked my cart and there was one in Saved For Later, I was able to move that to cart and buy. Something to try for next time if you're still on the hunt.

Relevant to your second point, someone has done this partially. You can't drive it, but it does give you an incredible sense of flying: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

First we need to get *stereoscopic* 3D recording working well, then find a way to stream it to the Oculus in realtime, and then we can build control systems to fly it. These guys are on track to have the stereoscopic 3D recording part nailed down: http://www.eye-mirror.com/c...

Next it's up to someone to create the realtime stereoscopic streaming tech. Who knows, maybe it'll be me.

In any case, someone will build this, and the future is going to be really cool.

Re: NewsBlur

NewsBlur is a perfect match for a Knight Foundation grant. Google paved the way for online feed reading and proved that it was a market that people were interested in, but they've squandered the opportunity to build a lasting and quality social product. NewsBlur is the only project that's really innovating in this space--an essential space--of long-form high quality social media consumption. Without the Knight Foundation grant, I'm sure it will do very well. However, with the Knight Foundation grant, I think it could be the start of a movement.

BTW I brought my expensive microphone that I bought for DjangoDose in case the casters want to use it.

Thanks so much for the writeup! We're excited about all the possibilities for using Convore on other sites in the future. One thing you could do right now is create a Convore discussion, and link to it at the bottom of the post. Someone did that and it worked out really well: http://ptone.com/dablog/201...

Let us know if you have any other suggestions, we love to hear feedback :)

Right now a single Redis instance isn't even breaking a sweat, so I haven't put *too* much thought into it yet. That said, once we split up the Redis pub/sub to be on a per-user basis, instead of per-group, then we'll be able to do some sort of hashing scheme (ketama, perhaps?) to determine which Redis instance houses which pub/sub channel.

That's an awesome question, and I think I'll expand it into an entire post. The basic gist of it though is that every time a user hits our long polling endpoint, we update a Redis ZSET with the current timestamp, and then we do a ZRANGEBYSCORE for an amount of time that's slightly longer than our polling frequency to get the users we've seen within a certain tolerance.

Oh man, we totally forgot to remove those before launch! Oh well, looks like you guys know what's on the roadmap now :) Thanks for the writeup, Andrew, and I'm glad you're feeling better :)

We have an API that allows you to get everything you put in back out again. We're also very open to the idea of building easier exporters.

I've definitely seen ads for TechCrunch articles on Fusion Ads.
