What is IANAUD? I tried googling but nothing came up.

Best guess: Uber/Lyft can't demand exclusivity from their drivers without crossing a line clearly delineated by the IRS. Doing so would be considered an "inappropriate degree of control" and the drivers would no longer

I think it would have been a lot more interesting if they had requested startups that significantly reduced the average cost of living and/or moved us closer towards a world where not everyone has to have a job.

My family uses a service called Green Bean delivery. They deliver fruits, vegetables, and herbs. I don't think they deliver meats yet. We were a little worried that we wouldn't be selecting the fruits and vegetables ourselves b

The issue is obviously one of semantics but your concept of dependence is not the widely accepted concept. Dependence means completely reliant on - no substitutions would do. The thing you're dependent on is a requirement, not a pref

Yeah, the eBay drop centers aren't a very good deal. As you mentioned, you have to take your stuff to them, and then they might not accept it. Most won't take anything under $50 in value, or anything over a certain size. Then t

How much would you pay for this service? It's exactly one of the ideas I've been toying around with, but not one of the ones I'm currently working on.

Do you have an api? I can imagine a bunch of ebay tools making good use of it. Also, do you still use EasyPost?

They don't just charge 5 dollars. They also charge the cheapest retail shipping rate to the consumer. Meanwhile they pay a bulk discounted rate. They pocket the difference.

by avalaunch 12y ago
They also get a discount on shipping which they do not pass on to the consumer. As they scale that difference will become larger and larger. I think that's where they expect to get the bulk of their revenue.

Does 100 users represent a small or a large portion of the total addressable market? If it's small, just ship it. If it's a large portion of your addressable market, then choose 5-10 of them and give them early access. Either wa

Startups differ so much that there really aren't any features that are common to all startups other than those features that are common to all websites. But I like the idea. I would suggest starting with a fork of dj-skeletor ( https:&

71 comments so far and only 2 people actually answered the question and they both said the same company: Circle CI. Personally I'm more interested in the answer to the question posed than a debate on the merits of an open office plan v

Where are you sourcing your contractors from? From the examples, I'm wondering if you're acting as a middleman between elance/getafreelancer and the end buyer. What happens when a customer isn't satisfied with the deliv

Solvable by releasing a second app that only has the normal map interaction design without the public transit options.

Congrats on shipping! That's an awesome achievement. You'll probably run into the chicken/egg problem of launching an app that requires network effects. One way to solve that that I think would work good here is to provide

I like the transparency in theory. In practice I don't want my salary to be so easily determined by a quick web search. It could really inhibit my ability to negotiate a higher salary at my next job where they'll likely offer some

by avalaunch 12y ago
I'm not sure how that's fair. Should they also adjust your salary based on how expensive your car is? The value you provide to them remains constant despite where you choose to live. Why should you be punished for living somewher

Except they're not Lyft employees. They're independent contractors. They set their own schedule, choose where they wish to work, ect... I still agree that it's perfectly legitimate for them to put forth effort to block recr

It's also lost revenue for the drivers who were on their way to pick up the recruiters. I think that's the part most people are upset about. And while the canceling of rides isn't a big plan by Uber to undermine Lyft, the re

Yeah but they did cancel a bunch of rides and that's the upsetting part. Their reasons might have been different than originally assumed but that doesn't change the egregious nature of their tactics. What it sounds like from the a

I was wondering about that as well - intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation - which would work better. Did you do any research into it? I'd also be curious if including the reward amount on the tag would increase or decrease the likelihood

by avalaunch 12y ago
I was actually thinking about that line of marketing too. He'd still need to give out decent rewards though for each item.
116.
by avalaunch 12y ago
Nice idea. When someone finds an item, what happens next? It wasn't clear from your site. They enter the tag number and then they're connected with the person who lost the item? Or do they send the item to you and you forward
117.
by avalaunch 12y ago
I think the worry would be that it might make your item more of a target than a random item. In practice, I doubt that would be true, as it would be more lucrative to the thief to sell your item than to return it for whatever reward you&#x

The bigger problem seems to be that your league commissioner is a tool. I would abandon the league and seek out another.

I didn't downvote you for pointing out it's standard text on job listings. I downvoted you because of the "Were you two born yesterday?" question which is rude and unnecessary.

How do you deal with image quality? I would imagine most images on the web are too low resolution to look good once printed on a t-shirt.
