Who's talking about shitty startups? I don't live in silicon valley.

Thank you for typing that all out. I agree completely. As a visible minority in tech, I'm simply more attracted to companies where I feel l won't stick out like a sore thumb. Of course I want to hired for my qualifications, but I&

Of course companies should only hire qualified people. Diversity is about gaining new perspectives and ensuring you're creating an environment _all_ your employees can enjoy and feel comfortable in. Companies, rightly, don't want

Seems more like iOS 7 is the only convenient thing to do. That's fine, but the current title makes it read more like a weak attempt to justify not wanting to support older versions.

First, great article. Coming across article now was quite serendipitous as I'm in the process of designing a Databus like system myself. In regards to Kafka and Databus, one thing I've been wondering about is why the Databus relay

That's pretty at odds with my everyday experience. I see Xbox One advertising ALL THE TIME. I'm in NYC however and I'm sure it varies by location.

Why is everyone taking these numbers as fact when neither the article nor analyst offer anything to back up these claims? The people submitting and upvoting stories like this are just as responsible for the shoddy state of tech journalism a

From your source, "According to OPSWAT’s data (which admittedly could be wildly skewed depending on who actually downloads their software, take it with multiple grains of salt)." Admittedly I'm referencing data I read somewhe

Don't know if I agree with your first point. AWS got a head start, but Azure is gaining and fast (Azure revenue - not profit - is at least 30+% of AWS already). That says nothing about SkyDrive either, which is already the biggest clou

I'm sorry, but that's just a terrible way of thinking about things. If we assume things that have been around for a while have reached their apex by virtue of them having been around for a while we'd never make any progress.

Wow. An especially low brow comment. Thought we could do better than this.

"Seeing your IP logs – and especially feeding them through sophisticated analytic tools – is a way of getting inside your head that's in many ways on par with reading your diary," Sanchez added. It's great to see this

No, games aren't nearly enough. I'm a Linux user myself, but quite frankly Windows is simply a better consumer desktop. It's also already installed on every computer. The switching cost is simply too high and the only people outside of the

When you start a Rails or Django project you're using a template. When you use Bootstrap you're using a template. When you use the business model canvass you're using a template. And forget cheap, those templates are free. People use templa

It looks promising. Is the password stored locally? And if not will you be supporting OAuth?

Oh, and while we connect via IMAP, we aren't a client in the sense of outlook/gmail web. You keep using your current client of choice for reading/handling email and Lightermail works in the background to help you stay organized.

Great questions! I'll address them one at a time. We DO NOT store any of your emails on our servers. We scan only the from header when an email arrives and keep a reference to the message's unique ID if it should be acted upon. We also do

Thanks! We don't ask for your Gmail credentials though. We connect via OAuth. You can revoke our access at any time from your Google account without waiting for us.

This is an interesting tactic. I think it can work well for companies up to a certain size, at which point new hires start getting auto added to certain lists and you start to have enterprise email issues (I think Stripe will manage to avoi

Hehe, this is why I need to work on our message. Lightermail allows you control when and from whom you receive email (from the global level to individual TLDs to specific senders). The who and when are highly configurable. You can also comb

Oh sorry, didn't see the last part of your comment! It's called Lightermail because once you start using it your inbox and email flow get a whole lot lighter :)
