Besides calling home, what motivation do they have to improve their tools under the subscription model? Upgrades have to be appealing enough to bother paying – built-in motivation to produce a superior product. With subscriptions, they don&

Business logic should still remain separate. This would be display logic.

Social features are the primary thing I miss from rdio.com, but they have explicit "friending", otherwise you'd see nothing. I assume Google would use all their data to show you everything everyone is listening too and provid

3 months pay is nothing compared to years at a great company with great culture and great people. The work itself might be the same company to company, but the people and the environment depend a lot on internal culture that's not part

I agree with you and also believe this extends to the majority of professions. Even within software development, there are a significant number of people that will only solve the immediate problem in front of them in a stepwise manner, rath

Yes, but that doesn't mean one has shared that email address with one's friends or vice versa. People have email addresses to sign up. Once signed up, the social connections are made on the platform.

Might this compete with Thumbtack [1]? That's the comparable startup that comes to mind. [1] http://www.thumbtack.com/

That helps! I guess it assumes your origin servers have the capacity to serve the traffic. Or did you switch CDNs? Just curious as there are services like Cedexis (or TurboBytes; the author of the article) for load balancing CDNs

Sorry, but looking at it really doesn't do it justice. There are a lot of integration features that only appear when you need them. The UX is great because it's uncluttered and still powerful.

While the OS remains open source, Cyanogen Inc has venture funding and at least one phone[1] comes pre-installed with the OS. So there is interest in maintaining a production ready image. I don't think the complexity/fragmented ar

Perhaps not, but he didn't say that. There is more than just language at play in this scenario. Will a native widget, initiated by Python, out perform JS/CSS/Node-Webkit ... maybe. The OP saying the app will run faster is n

I'm curious if you use Uber because of the convenience or vehicles? I use Hailo for the convenience, but I'm curious if Uber is more convenient or you just prefer their vehicles and/or driver service.

What is "news"? Show HN is arguably, in many cases, the newest thing. Techcrunch, Wired, et al, are just corporate or mainstream news (not that there aren't other interesting posts that also aren't news on HN). I think m

I see this in the wild occasionally already (it's not novel). There are a number of feedback/survey providers that do this.

Developers have a yearly budget ($1.5K) to go to conferences. So, one biggish conf or a bunch of smaller local ones.

Yes, SendGrid sends emails, but there is value add on top of that. (e.g. negotiating with hotmail to ensure your emails get through, webhooks, APIs, statistics, templates, etc.). Yes, sending an email is easy enough. It's all the other

FYI, the google analytics lines are commented out in that source, as it "breaks some sites". So your command doesn't help in this case until you uncomment those lines.

Agreed. Looking at old and new is striking. I much prefer the new as it focuses on the important content. The old looks like a product of organic growth (understandable) that seeks to pack in as much on the homepage as possible (and "A

It intelligently remembers where you were if you click a link and then back; it restores your previous scroll location. Pleasantly surprised by the behaviour as I usually do not enjoy infinite scroll.

We had the same issue with Optimizely cookies. They serialize the experiment data as a json blob, which grows with more experiments, and store it in a cookie. What a pain to debug as it wasn't consistent for every user.

FWIW, admin2 is under active development and moving forward. I don't know if the intention is to replace the existing admin, but as it's not backwards compatible there will be some effort to upgrade if you've completed any se

That and no SSL. The service looks very interesting otherwise. We've been looking at building something similar to unify how all systems communicate with customers.
