I don't how GapJumpers fits into what you're saying. I'm not saying it isn't important, I just don't see why an investor would care. Otherwise, I completely agree.

To answer your question, YES, I am leary of using startup BaaS offerings. I will either roll my own in Rails or using something from a public company. However, I did not look at this service and immediately think of it as a mobile backend.

How is it ironic? How many people were saved from burning buildings in your city last year? The truth is, technology and building codes in the US–and especially California–have significantly reduced the loss of life and property due to fire

(Disclaimer: I have multiple rental properties in CA) I've noticed Prop 13 becoming the quite the scapegoat for the woes of various California cities lately. I'm not convinced. The state has a huge pension liability looming over

No and no. But you have to remember, PH is another source of exposure for people's startups. They are a funded, YC company. Products on the homepage get a viral lift (via Twitter, votes, comments, etc.). Also, it is well known that V

It's sad. The response PH gave in December dodged the true question of how do things get to the homepage [1]. Defenders stuck to the concept of "Great products will make it to the homepage"–in reality, everyone knows that&#

See, this is the problem with the entire business model. Your friend has now put the onus of paying her living wage on the consumer. I don't want to hire a personal delivery person for $10/hour. Unless I've got a $100+ dinner

Isn't this why standards exist? We have standard image formats (jpg, dng). Even standard metadata formats (xmp, exif). Why can't we have a standard for image libraries, albums, and storage that can work on a smartphone or deskto

Somewhat but not exactly. I have 3 children at home. I still get plenty of ideas, sometimes I even do research or hack up a quick rails scaffold to see how it might start. I just no longer spend nights & weekends banging it out until I

It didn't "not work" but neither of my kids have gmail accounts so they can't see the calendar on their devices. I just thought there might be something a little more vertical/family-focused.

Does anyone have a favorite "Shared Family Calendar"? We need something to keep track of everyone's school schedule, reports/projects due, sports games/practices, etc. etc. I've tried Google and Trello ... wond

If anyone wants to watch these on their TV, I created an Apple TV app that streams all the videos. Just search the App Store for "startup class" if you have a 4th gen Apple TV.

I think every generation has their big events and I think they overlap. For baby boomers, it's the JFK assassination (maybe other things). For Gen X'ers like me, it's the Challenger ( and 9/11 I'd argue). For Mille

Maybe this is a stupid question, but ... if ad blocking is such an issue for publishers, why don't they do the ad-serving logic on the server and display locally saved creative assets (from the same host)?
