   I've seen a couple of these projects lately. They are really cool and I see the need. What seems to be missing (and is a no-brainer in my opinion) are auto-generated client libraries. It seems like you could easily create Ruby, Pytho

   Can someone explain to me the difference between "visual programming" tools like this and environments that have existed for years such as VisualBasic, MS Access, Flash, Dreamweaver, and XCode Storyboards? (Yes, I know many are ma

   Yes, I think a lot of developers/freelancers/startups desperately need an OS tool like this that they can plug into their larger codebase/CMS. I see it as the evolution of the WYSIWYG/rich-text editor.

   I agree it would be useful, but I can also see a myriad of reasons why they'd never do it.

    To those who commented on the financial or regulatory hurdles in serving these people: Maybe another way to look at this is: instead of creating a startup to serve veterans or single mothers–why not create a startup that can employ veter

    I like this. I'm a big IGer and so is my wife. I was at the Giants game for Star Wars day with my kids Sunday so looking through all the #attpark / #sfgiants hashtags is fun. However, here's one thing that annoys me with this

    I'll go first: 1. My family owns a 325 acre ranch in the San Joaquin Valley (outside of Bakersfield). We currently lease out the land to ranchers but we're considering selling it and purchasing some non-ag investment real estate.

    This is pretty cool. BTW, if you need help with iOS I think this would make a great "notification only" app. I just launched http://playondeck.com/ and could easily fork the code for this.

    I don't live in SF but I think this would be viable. I'd even use it when I was in town. I think you'd also get customers from people who bike to work or workout at lunch but don't have access to a shower (assuming the l

    First, it's interesting that Mixpanel and Optimizely (both YC companies) are starting to compete in this space. Optimizely has mobile A/B testing as well[0]. Second, what seems to be an obvious need I haven't seen is A/B

    I looked at it the other day and it starts at $3,500/month. That's pretty much a non-starter for any bootstrapped health startup that wants to deploy a working MVP.

    Uber and Lyft both 1099 their drivers. I'm not sure specifically about Instacart but I imagine most "on-demand" companies that can get away with it, will do it. If they're having you use your own vehicle and not forcing

    $80K but you're probably 1099. So, no health insurance, no workers comp. coverage, and you have to be more diligent about all your taxes/withholdings.
