Really cool toy! I wonder how the randomizer works, does it use some predefined scale or some other heuristics to always end up with something nice?

can you fix the title as well? (I don't think it's supposed to say "and heroku")

You're criticizing the raw JS language, but that's not what most people in the industry are using. Fine, the original language design was horrible, but if you consider the typical stack used for web development (which could be any

Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to hear about faulty beacons, what happened definitely doesn't sound normal. I'd suggest to contact our community team at contact@estimote.com and they're probably able to replace these beacons

(Disclaimer: I work for Estimote) Indoor location works much better if you utilize data from other sensors in the phone (like accelerometer etc) and apply machine learning to make better sense out of all the signals. I'd suggest you ta

Is it also weird that Apple called their maps, well, "Maps", when Google has been developing their own product called "Maps" for so long?

I wouldn't say we use base-60 for time or angles. We still use just 10 digits to write them down, so it's still in base-10.

do you include the additional time needed for such "cleaning" in your task estimations?

Cool idea, but I don't understand one thing: how do you divide person's time between standard tasks and the "challenges"?

Can't tell if you're ironic, but they've just patented their own version of that called Flybell

Thanks. That was counter-intuitive for me, now I get it.

Why would deflation converge to the rate of global economic growth? I'd think that the opposite tends to be true, eg. the inflation is often correlated with growth.

The thing is they dont't have to work as a receiver. It's enough to pinpoint you to given location using data sent by iBeacon. Everything else can happen between your smartphone and web-based services that would provide more conte

Some retail companies (let's say barnes&noble) already have mobile apps. All it takes is to add beacon-related features, and their customers won't have to do anything.

Vendors using Estimote beacons will use the SDK to make entirely independent apps available in the App Store. Only the specific apps that you choose to install will be able to communicate with particular beacons, so if one starts to annoy y

If you had a better idea you should have started with it in the first place. It should work equally well as a creativity trigger, and if nobody comes up with something different you still end up with a choice that's not so bad.
