I've been using Zoho Creator for years ( http://creator.zoho.com ) as a tech-savvy non-developer. Anyone had any experience with both Creator and Bubble and can compare the two?

Almost thought you were joking, but wow... nearly $38/mo to read NYT's webpages.

I've paid for WhatsApp and am in the US. Yes, I originally joined to chat with people overseas, but now it's also the sole messaging service I use with multiple US-based contacts. AMA I guess, since apparently fellow Americans don

This total commitment to talent development is pretty inspiring—regardless of whether or not I'd agree/recommend this exact strategy or whether it ultimately works for Alibaba. Succession planning is hard and time-consuming, but t

I think you're totally correct to harp on design and functionality. I'm sure it's a business problem, too, but it's also the fact they keep screwing with the app with no real improvement. I continue to think removing Dis

Crescent Bay was, for me, a revelation. I don't know if I'm a born again true believer now, but I will say that a lot of skepticism washed away with that demo. It really was a very startling this-is-no-gimmick-anymore kind of mome

OK, I'm really reticent to respond, but I've seen a few of your posts and feel weirdly compelled to help you. I love that you have strong opinions on recruiting/hiring, you do have passion, and you're clearly a very prin

How much can I pay you to stop shooting "What's Crayon?" across my screen every time I load a page? :)

If Twitter knew this rough patch was coming (albeit not so soon), why did they remove the Discover and Activity tabs from their mobile app? Just anecdotally, I, and everyone I know, spent more time on Twitter because of those two features.

Wow, it's super brave of you to be defending those poor maligned billionaires. Takes a lot of courage to stand up for an underdog like KPCB.

I guess I'm an equal opportunity howler: I howl in frustration at Android, at Ubuntu, at iOS, at Windows, at OSX... Sometimes I wonder if—gasp!—all of 'em are imperfect and I should just find something that suits me well enough an

I, an amateur, have thought of multiple questions and arguments which I later come to find have already been explored in the literature. I've seen students in undergrad classes anticipate moves made by famous philosophers. It&#x

"Now" seems an odd word choice considering it's been an auto-antonym since at least the days of Mark Twain.

Very interesting! Though I will say "Resolution" is odd in its current state; e.g. you can easily end up with a resolution of "400 micron" that includes 50 micron printers. Maybe it should include a min and max? Or value

I think the real value is in seeing who's tracking that you wouldn't expect. Yes, most know that marketers are tracking the hell out of us, but there may be use cases that many are not aware of.

Just curious: why are we dredging up stuff from 1999? Is it throwback Friday now?

Setting aside its illegality, what strikes me here is how unintentionally hilarious this job posting is. I'm laughing just thinking about someone earnestly creating this, and maybe even someone else approving it for publication.

My thought process as I'm reading/scrolling: "So, Instagram?" "Instagram... This is Instagram." "OOOHH, that's how it's NOT Instagram. Why didn't they say so earlier? That weird copy about S

That's surprising/confusing to me--I've actually never been asked that. This is in the US (east coast), so can't speak to other locales.

Also has implications for the social safety net in the US: if you resign or are fired, you can't collect unemployment checks; if you are laid off, you can. A lay-off also means the company can't immediately turn around and hire fo

I have seen multiple cases where shitty or ill-informed managers tried to pressure salaried employees into "committing"—commit to another project cycle, another quarter, another year, whatever. "We're trying to do strate

Is there any easy to way to grab some contacts off my Google Apps account (i.e. work) to add to my personal Gmail contacts? When adding contacts on my phone, I often forget to attach them to the right account.

Thank you for posting—this shed light on my own bouts with hypersomnia in my early twenties. In my case, brought on by Major Depressive Disorder. A normal night's sleep for me was 12-14 hours, and on three occasions I slept 24-26 hours

Interesting. For traffic/congestion reasons, Manila, Philippines had (has?) this on a permanent basis, not just for a special event. Your license was coded so that police could easily see if you were allowed to be on the roads that day

Kirbys clean carpet & mattresses extremely well... that's the appeal. I have a really hard time believing anybody sees a Kirby as a status symbol, as "cool", as anything other than highly utilitarian. I think this is why

I'm not sure what the price point is, but I'd pay non-negligible dollars to add this kind of tech to my '99 Accord. I don't even want the full $10k package with "self-driving," just lane assist, warnings, adapt

I'm embarrassed to admit how long into reading this it took me to clue in... edit: nevermind; if I didn't have to check WhoIs data then I'm apparently ahead of the curve.

What's the point of being able to get an appointment in a day for a specialist if you'll eventually have to go into debt or file bankruptcy to be able to afford that specialist?
