Please see http://www.blueseed.co/faq.html#seasickness. The size of the barge we have in mind will be quite stable most of the year. In case of extreme storms, force majeure permits the vessel to come to store and preserve the jurisdiction of the open registry country whose flag we'll fly.
In November 2011, ABC News reported on the story of Amit Aharoni, an Israeli startup entrepreneur who, after creating 9 American jobs, received a letter from the US Citizenship and Immigration Serice (USCIS) denying his visa request and notifying him to leave the country immediately. Aharoni left for Vancouver and tried to run his company (an online cruise booking service) remotely via Skype. That didn't quite work out, so he set to work on making his story public. After ABC World News picked up the story, USCIS reversed their decision within 24 hours. The moral is that running a startup remotely can be big enough of a pain to warrant mounting a media campaign, and that unless they manage to attract massive media attention, a startup entrepreneur without a valid visa may have to relocate their operations outside of the U.S.
In an interview with RadicalBehavior.com, Twitter lead developer Alex Payne commented:
By various metrics Twitter is the biggest Rails site on the net right now. Running on Rails has forced us to deal with scaling issues - issues that any growing site eventually contends with - far sooner than I think we would on another framework. [...] At this point in time there's no facility in Rails to talk to more than one database at a time. [...] All the convenience methods and syntactical sugar that makes Rails such a pleasure for coders ends up being absolutely punishing, performance-wise. Once you hit a certain threshold of traffic, either you need to strip out all the costly neat stuff that Rails does for you (RJS, ActiveRecord, ActiveSupport, etc.) or move the slow parts of your application out of Rails, or both. It's also worth mentioning that there shouldn't be doubt in anybody's mind at this point that Ruby itself is slow. [...] I think it's worth being frank that this isn't one of those relativistic language issues. Ruby is slow.

Thank you for this comment. Yes, we wish the OP linked to our FAQ.
http://www.blueseed.co/faq.html#seasickness - our barge will be 500ft or longer, hence quite stable. We've looked at several accommodation barges that have performed very well in worse conditions.

Incidentally, since you mention Vancouver,

...I hope it was worth it and he had a threesome with those two women.

The Pidgin Twitter plugin works.
Can someone explain?
