As a New Yorker visiting HK for the first time this week, it's hard not to walk away impressed. The NYC Subways are so completely inferior it's no wonder they operate at a loss. I ride the A/C trains daily and my commute vari

Author of the article here. Ironically the first draft of this post hit a lot more on the point that the mere concept of automation is broken (hence the title, The Jetsons Fallacy). Today's smart home solutions look more like universal

All it needs is a plug-and-play system that anyone can install and the market would see an explosion. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at our next few blog posts :)

This is our first post in a series about the promises of the Jetsons smart home, and how the industry is missing the mark. Our next in the series will talk about what Astro is doing to change that. Looking forward to hearing from the commun

We had the same problem. We actually wanted to use Heroku just for pre-production as it was the easiest to deploy / manage, but their TCP socket implementation is such a joke. We would up just using AWS, and sunk a few days into dev &

1) I cook because A) It's something I am terribly passionate about B) It's a creative outlet for me, where I allow myself to try new things, and encourage myself to fail. C) It's a form of meditation for me. When I coo

I need the same thing -- quite unfortunate for my significant other. I need a day of silence a week. I can deal with all the stresses of work / life, provided I get a day to just sleep late, relax, clean, and not listen to anyone else

As a technical CEO without cofounders, perhaps I can help shed some light on this topic. (I didn't take on a cofounder for these very reasons) 1) You need to trust your cofounder(s) entirely. If you don't have trust, you will have

Awesome post! Note that the "Direct traffic" row in the traffic sources at the end of the blog post is likely attributed to https as well as dark social and not someone typing in the URL manually. This can come from email campaign

There is a lot of hate in this thread. I personally use Oscar, and while I have not had to use their plan yet, my experience with their support staff, and website have been the best I have had with any insurance provider/company/n

While I too am inclined to hate Yahoo, perhaps out of envy that a shitty, failed idea I might have come up with wasn't acquihired for tens of millions of dollars, their stock tells a different story. Not that a successful business is d

Great idea, but seriously, getting access to all of my email history is too much, and I stopped there. I have flights I wish to put in, and want to use the services, but you lost a customer because of overreaching and trying to solve a prob

No, I live in Brooklyn, my rent is absurd. I was spending $1k a month on cabs, restaurants and bars. That's five to ten nights out. Less if you go with your significant other.

I built my own standing desk with a piece of pine from home depot, and some white paint, and 4 sturdy 6" brackets. Wall mounted it and now I have a $100 standing desk. I think making a standing desk is great, but you haven't solve
