(disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about) Well, they only raised a $1.1M seed round [1]. I will guess they gave up 25% in that round [2]. YC got about 7%. At this point, I think AdRoll has become the market leader in the

The demos look really good. I didn't make an account so I can't comment on the actual features. I must admit the name is odd. I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it. If it's indeed "Pie Cock", then I'd s

Heck yeah. I thought I might be the oldest at 10 years but you got me beat. Congrats on the long haul success.

That's precisely why I asked about a "statue of limitations" ... I am curious. Thank you for posting that video. I hadn't seen it. I'm generally skeptical of any celebrity's "remorse" when they get ca

I disagree that there's no "tech world". Maybe that's the wrong term but hey. I do feel strongly about bad behavior (and I try to do some small parts)–but not about the lack of balance. I just find it intriguing and poss

Honestly, it was the only interesting thing I could think of with regards to this news story and it's something I've pondered since the Apple/Beats rumor started. It was an honest question and I just wanted some smart replies

> beating up a female reporter doesn't make you a mysogynist I guess I used that phrase because that's how everyone framed the Gurbaksh Chahal incident. At least in my Twitter feed.

Honest question: is there a statute of limitations on what the tech world will tolerate with regards to misogynistic behavior (or bad behavior in general)? Or do people just pick and choose what they want to fight? I ask because everyone ra

From Slide 9: mobile usage as a % of web usage is now 25%. It was 14% last year. This seems contrary to what we hear about native apps dominating smartphone usage. Obviously that web usage isn't "HTML5 Apps" per se and I&#x27

The beauty of Slack, IMO, is in the nice integrations with everything I already use . Does Hipchat/JIRA/Confluence do that? (I honestly don't know) For a small team, there's no reason (for us at least) to move away from

I'm still willing to bet a steak or sushi dinner that Apple will not release an iWatch. A wearable bracelet, maybe . But not a watch.

I don't tennis, but it looks pretty cool. At the risk of thread hijacking, I have a broader question. My assumption is that most wearable bracelets have the same tech/sensors inside and the difference is in how your software inter

Ha. One of the faces of rap music (Dr. Dre) started in a gangsta rap group (NWA) and featured misogynistic lyrics in both his group and solo career. And, according to sources, is about to become an executive at the largest technology compan

Fired or asked to resigned ... pretty much the same thing, other than trying spin it like he resigned under his own volition.

Yeah, but this didn't work for dynamic content inside of Flash (i.e. the swf loading image or text content from a server-side API).

SEO has been a major factor in my reluctance to implement client-side JS frameworks in many projects (we work with wedding photographers and other small businesses who live and breath on being found in Google). It actually seems harder to o

Shopify isn't an ecommerce store–it's an ecommerce infrastructure provider. My only beef with shopify is that I don't see any of these fast growing etailers using them. I know why (makes no sense to give up that kind of % whe

Does the L-39 not have an ejection seat standard? After skimming a few of the reports, at least 2 of the accidents were due to racing or aerobatics. I imagine that carries somewhat of a risk regardless of aircraft. I've always dreamed

They have 3 models ("white", "silver", "black") of their main product–the Hero camera–which is currently in it's 3rd version (the Hero3). The only other products they produce (to my knowledge) are accessor

I have a project that combines Jekyll with a rails app for editing as well as email hooks so you can create/post from an email a la Posterous. It's currently offline but I can send you the code.

No. People don't use them. Stores/brands/agencies use them less. I don't see VCs funding them. Sorry if it's not what you want to hear, but you should stop. Don't fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

If you really want to share extra food you're growing, do one of the following: 1. Contact your local food bank. It's very possible they have a program where extra produce is donated and given to people in need. We have one where

I rented a house in a gated, golf-course development last year and my neighbor asked me to build something like this (he was on the board). I think it could work–could be tough to sell, though.
