I wouldn't touch Karma with a 1,000 foot pole if I were you. They lie to customers and change terms and limits on existing customers. I, and many others, returned our devices nearly a year ago and have still not received refunds. The c

Religion is not a requirement for benefiting from AA. Participants must acknowledge a higher power, which can mean whatever a person wants that to mean.

That's exactly what they do now. Identifying a color on an LED is easier than reading the license plate of a car across the street or distinguishing one green sedan from another.

Good point! However, is it important for people to feel in charge of their color? Right now, requesting an Uber is 3 steps (open app, set pickup location, confirm). Why add a 4th step and require another decision? I value simplicity over ge

It's interesting that they let the passenger pick the color. 2 passengers in the same area might both pick the same color and try to locate their driver based on that information alone. Uber knows which pickups are at the same place at

Oh man, Pantelligent is the perfect gift for one of my family members, but it's backordered until next year! Such a bummer. Wish I knew about it sooner.

Agreed. We're extremely happy with Gusto. We tried Zenefits first and had a similar experience to yours. It turned out they couldn't help us get health insurance based on the number and locations of our employees. We went over the

I'm happy to see this. We wanted a better way to manage payroll and some other HR stuff. We found ZenPayroll (now Gusto) originally through Zenefits. After weeks of back-and-forths, mistakes, and misinformation from Zenefits, we decide

So don't work for this company? Sometimes people live and breathe the work they do, and are looking for others who will as well. It's up to you to decide whether you want to participate in what they're doing.

I write lots of unit tests. One thing I'm struggling with now is the organization of a large number of tests. It's hard to know what I have tests for without going into my tests directory and reading comments. Even then, I feel li

This company does the little things right, and people notice. I think faster internet + smartphones are necessary but not sufficient in explaining Instacart's success. I live in a place with an entrance not visible from the street. The

I love Instacart. I have two comments about this raise. 1. I hope they use some of it to hire more shoppers. It is increasingly common to log in at 10am and see no available delivery times until the next day. 2. "The company makes its

This is cool. Thanks. The site talks about deleting or pausing servers, then going back to the TinFoil page to start over in the future. However, it looks like DigitalOcean charges a flat $5 per month for the lowest tier. Is there any harm

The product looks nice. Well done. To the founders: can you write a bit about how Sendwithus compares to Vero and Customer.io? Also, have you considered bundling an email service provider? I know other companies have some arrangement with S

I like the idea. One quick suggestion is to replace "Superpower". You're trying to use it as a verb, but it isn't (usually used as) one.
