I wouldn't go that far. The only thing he's done really well is sell cars at $100k a pop with a fancy battery and computer at a loss. Visionary sure - but the fruits of his labor are still unborn, especially when burning/rais

Another way to think about this is if a person comes into existence, then BI demands their immediate universal right to the resources to sustain their life comfortably without any contribution from that body. So really, those who multiply t

Samsung has by far and away sold the most and done the worst job. Their UI changes suck battery and performance from every single app. I purchased a note 4 because I had a decent experience with the note 2 but after waiting almost an entire

Kinda pointless of a remark unless you're comparing it to 50 other SF tech companies.

Fucking pissed me off to the max, actually. This week, they did X-Men lenses and REMOVED the face swap and picture swap features for the entire day. If I wanted to use lenses, it had to be X-Men for the whole day. What PM green-lit that shi

My point was supplying an S3 bucket as a service, and putting lipstick on it to make it look like a website isn't valuable in the long term, on its own.

Turns out a S3 bucket in itself isn't a website.

The web isn't novel anymore. Your idea needs to be novel, with the web as a delivery tool. Trying to build a SaaS tool with Ruby on Rails and raising $10M isn't going to get you far these days.

It'd be great if they showed a screenshot from a hello world app or something. It's really hard to actually know what they mean when they use words I think I understand. maybe the code example or hello world is on another page, bu

This is the case for pretty much all "freemium" services and applications, including mobile games, and apps like Trello, Github, etc. Shouldn't be surprising. Calculating LTV and keeping your CAC under that should be goals of

They can be addressed, but you'd have to address them anyway with a simpler interface and it would be less work to do so. This is more untestable because the service that provides the scripting interface needs to have a test bed that i

Something something right tool for the job. Totally agree. Rails has its place. If it's all you know, everything looks like a rails app...

This technique never ends well. When your service interface is some untestible semi-script language your clients will hate you. Nice work on building an interpreter, but I'd throw the entire SOA book at you for deploying this in a prod

This could be interesting. What does this mean for hostile take overs though?

An "outsider" thing? I've used it quite extensively and understand its nuanced differences from other offerings. That said, its a fancy messenger app that is a huge battery hog, and crashes and lags constantly. It's not

The winner is the startup who can build a stable version of Snapchat that doesn't freeze, crash, or drain your phone on a regular basis.

Seriously - just hide posts. Facebook's AI is pretty good at allowing you to properly prune your news feed. You can also game this system by getting others to interact with your posts more often, which will push your posts into their f

Another way to look at it was in working with Purdue, he was able to demonstrate his ability to define and walk around FDA approvals by understanding and guiding product language to get approval. This is a valuable skill. Purdue probably wa

how about it just determines you didn't mean that, and correct it before the message is even sent? Machine learning should be able to do this rather easily.

The ironic smug satisfaction of their existing fanboys is enough. I love it when someone complains that their battery is pretty much perma-dead, and when I say they can buy an OEM replacement on Amazon for $15 they say, "oh... its an
