So what's the pricing model? Your site lists "pricing" and shows no info. - Are you charging for support? - Do you/will you have a paid enterprise tier that will increasingly be the only tier with a viable feature set? -

White-labeling telemedicine benefits could be a novel retention play for companies, but I think that only works if: a. the benefit is obviously superior (better care than you'd get from a PCP or national telemedicine brand like Teladoc

I don't know, by the time you get to a series G, "show me the profits" is a fair demand that the capital markets should never not be making. Your post seems to say "if you don't prop up WeWork, good luck raising mon

Libraries are the original datacenters, I suppose.

The fact that a billing issue like this gets escalated to C-level for some determination of account credit is, on its face, absurd. It suggests that billing practices at the company are so off the wall that they have a weeks-long backlog of

I think most people here think the value of WeWork is definitely not $0, but believe it’s well well well south of their last private valuation, and certainly well below what they’ll try to dump it on the market at.

I’m really disgusted by how much recent tech IPOs inject pitch deck-style garbage into the S-1 filing, especially this one. I’ve always had a great amount of respect for the mediating nature of the S-1’s dry, candid, and ruthlessly honest a

The bit about face recognition and voice imprinting is most certainly being used to populate some database, but it also serves as a CAPTCHA of sorts. Advancements in procedural face and voice generation could create a powerful tool to beat

I wonder if at that point users aren’t just emulating a ten key with some mode switch, or just building a separate ten key?

So the exploit is fake site -> user-agent specific redirector -> CNN. That would clear CNN. I’m thinking through how Twitter would combat something like this. IMO they would flag new domains for manual approval (or hey, require TFA fo

Imagine you’re a solo maintainer of an NPM package, and you know that one of the FAANG companies uses your package. Normally, you respond to issues on weekends and cut new builds when reasonable bugs are reported. Then, the FAANGco starts s

I'm impressed with the evolution of the language and the tooling around it, driven by the necessity to scale and maintain apps for big businesses. Nevertheless, I would think that PHP is a hard sell for new projects and new enterprises

My point is that a lay consumer doesn't know that, so the description of it above doesn't mean anything to consumers that they can't get from Venmo.

But you had to know to do that. Semi-related, it’s wild to me that the best practice for a digital currency is the functional equivalent of keeping your money in your mattress.

But so is Venmo. I also really like Venmo and think it’s beautiful and simple. Unless you’re talking about something else.
