   Well, isn't what you're describing the Teams software that prompted Slack's letter? Only tied to Office365, not Azure and LinkedIn. https://products.office.com/en-US/microsoft-teams/group-chat...

   I don't know if giving you data about YC applications would be fair. I can confirm that when I applied, they only looked at our video and never saw our demo/prototype. Some things I believe help making into YC much easier (but not

   Any competition is welcome. Currently Salesforce is in a "milk-the-cow" strategy, with licensing costs at every corner.

   Joel Spolsky expanded on some of it on his famous blog post: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie... "There's no software priced between $1000 and $75,000. I'll tell you why. The

   That might warrant it's own submission. They say the mobile app is shutting down, was that the most significant part or was it the web side? I thought it should have been a good service to monetize. Edit: was already submitted - discus

   How does this differ from Jitsi? Easier to install? Very interesting.

    The only thing I personally can testify is that they spam LinkedIn and other channels with job ads. I've read some spanish-language forums and read about very different experiences - some good, some pretty bad.

    I might be jaded, but that doesn't sound like such an awful example at all. There is some excessive overhead, but that's par for the course. And they did do the job :) Some of the other examples mentioned (with costly machinery ju

    I'm obviously mistaken then, sorry. I believe I read that at one time there were some rules or guidelines for hardware manufacturers that wanted to be Google certified (and have Play Store and all that). I'm trying to google that

    You're not the only one. But most diversions from the norm failed :( and large companies are afraid to innovate. LG's attempts are weird. My hope is now on Chinese companies like Xiaomi to do something different :) Also, Google hi

    I recommended the Xperia Compact line to a coworker, and she says it's still too big. She wants it to fit comfortably on a woman's pocket. Something Motorola Razr-sized (about 20% smaller than the Xperia compact).

    Quite a lot of people have asked me about a small but powerful Android phone, and there are none! It's incredible, but all companies go in the same direction. In the very few instances when they do innovate, they go in really odd direc

    I've worked remotely twice. The most important thing is communications, definitely. The best results I had were on a fully remote team, using Slack heavily. I'm currently on a half U.S. based / half remote team, and it's

    I'm also a mostly Microsoft stack developer, and I looked at remote jobs, and there are very little with this stack. It's popular with enterprises, which are very much remote-adverse. I didn't find a solution, although I&#x27

    You would be surprised. I've personally increased lodging days a lot due to AirBnB being cheaper (and subjectively better) than hotels. Also, AirBnB doesn't only compete with hotels... a lot of the market share in my country (Urug

    Journalists can also be awful and distort basic facts (sometimes it's even not deliberate, just lazy). Seeing something newsworthy in person and then reading the news reports is eye-opening.

    As many mentioned, Whatsapp runs on 1/20th the number of Twitter employees. It does have less features, but many of Twitter's are of dubious value.
