This looks cool. I'm very interested in live video but can someone enlighten me on the creation side of this equation? How do I create an RTMP stream in the first place? What camera can/should I use? Can I use webcam? Is there an

I just added FB ads to an iOS app this morning. The app doesn't even use FB login so I was suprised to see the sample ads were still very location-specific and targeted. They've also got web/HTML tools for placing ads on a

Yeah, good updates are important but something I think can be mostly automated. BTW, if you're interested in teaming up on it at all, by all means get in touch. I'm never opposed to a capable partner.

Cool but you definitely need to include "alternative" meanings. Consider doing something like Urban Dictionary so people can find out what the eggplant really means.

Yeah, I often use the YAML or PList approach myself. My initial pricing experiment will be something like: 1. Buy any single list one-time for $9 (as a JSON/YAML/PLIST download) 2. Pay $49 per year for API access to all lists

I'm confused. There are plenty of services (LegalZoom) that allow you to form a Delaware corp/llc now. What exactly does Atlas offer that's new? Is it just a focus on non-US citizens?

That's interesting. I forgot to also mention that, from what I've heard, if you are going to work for Palantir, their NYC office is where you want to be. That the team(s) there more direct interaction with clients and influence

My understanding is that Palantir is running an engineering mill/sweatshop using fresh out of school CS grads (particularly from Stanford). That much of their time is spent simply writing client-specific code that imports and cleans up

Yeah, it can work as firewood for heat if its thoroughly dried (1+ year). You have to split it before it dries. I guess I should clarify my previous post. Most people in CA don't burn wood for heat. I was specifically referring to burn

I applaud the scale and reach that Unsplash has achieved. It's a great resource. But at a certain point, cost savings do matter and it makes sense to make a change. At this scale Heroku is always going to be more expensive than AWS o

Haven't you learned? We just give things new names and people are amazed. Statistics and vacation rentals aren't new. But when you call it "data science" and "sharing economy", it sounds cool.

As a side note, interesting that this is published on/by Medium but on a custom domain. I also heard Bill Simmons mention using Medium for a new site (on his podcast). Curious to see where they're headed with this.
