Ally Bank also makes your account next to useless until you go through a very tedious verification process from the get go. In my case, they mailed me some documents that unsurprisingly I never ended up bothering with. On the other hand you

Show me a company working as a purely Internet bank of sorts and I'll show you a company with pissed off customers. Truth is, this business is very hard. For every time Paypal misidentifies a target and blocks their payments, they corr

Note to non-regular django devs: a django view is equivalent of the controller in other frameworks.

That sounds about right. Mine had gotten much worse by the time we took action, mostly because we confused it for my other illness during the early stages. And thank you for crediting saline. I became a saline "addict" myself. We

I had rhabdomyolysis in high school after an intense afternoon of running around in the cold. Let me describe the pain: * everytime I breathe in or down I felt like screaming * moving almost any part of my body even an inch made me scream *

Great work! Would be nice to add an option to convert json key names to human-friendly names(passed as a separate key value array). So a key like full_name can appear as "Your Name:" to the end user.

This is hardly surprising. During my childhood in India, coupons were very rare. This meant that when a coupon did show up, it was usually a great offer and an enourmous flood of people would rush to cash in. It was common for newspapers to

Square solves a very serious pain point. Depends. I've seen and heard multiple stories of cab drivers or business owners failing to process using Square. For them, it certainly was more of an annoyance than a painkiller. In most thes

Anything would be better than what they are doing at present. What keeps them from just showing the desktop version of maps? Or the mobile web version?

I clicked on the link from my iPhone. I'm offered to download the Maps app even though I already have it. When I click "no thanks" I'm taken to the homepage. Fuck you to the PMs and devs at google for such big screw ups

You're addressing a problem that largely doesn't exist at scale.

Good luck to Twilio if it thinks it can charge a penny per minute when others charge a fraction of it.

Hopefully the folks at Twilio are following this thread. For all the awesome things about Twilio, its pricing at serious volume is very shitty. I was recently talking to a start-up that makes apps for call centers. He blamed the super high

Not to mention traction is a very subjective thing, especially for b2b companies. And even after you get traction, the type of traction begins to matter. For example, you can go sign up 100 paid customers for your product in a week by con

Boo at naming libraries by adding .js to otherwise common names. It risks making library building kind of a domain name-like landgrab.

My friend started there couple weeks ago in a dev position. They gave him a 30% raise. Tomorrow morning or this week he finds out if he gets to keep the job. Most likely he should given he's a dev.

The part about hiring a bunch of interns sounds weird. Were they getting paid?

The only thing you need is traction. You're only saying that because you've never tried raising funding for a company with traction. But except for very rare exceptions, even when you have traction there are a whole new set of q

You don't come the engineering team with a solution already decided down to every last detail. And you've already concluded that that is indeed what was going on at this start-up. Just from the mere use of the word "microma
