A couple of questions that came to me after reading through this: The interface looks great, so much better than Craigslist. What advantages do you provide for landlords that Craigslist/Lovely do not have? I'm guessing that colleg

Re-watching the glass video, compared what was actually launched, their criticism seems fair in retrospect. It is also a great comparison on another level. This product may be amazing, but whatever it takes to make it happen is so unwieldy

Possibly. At the same time, Mailbox supports iCloud and gMail. They say SlideMail is different in that it is not for power users. So non-power-users that have their own email server or don't use gMail/iCloud? Maybe people that don

My honest feedback: What differentiates this from Mailbox or Google Inbox? On the UI side, its a pretty clear clone of Mailbox (I saw you work with one of their designers, so not surprising — also not a bad thing since Mailbox has a great p

This is so encouraging to hear! I'm not much of a writer myself, but I am super happy that Google is able to translate quality into results. Keep it up!

They wouldn't just be giving in, it would take less than a day to get up and running on CloudFlare. That is probably worth avoiding $30k bill, especially for a non-profit. As for PR, there absolutely is good will towards organizations

My guess is that because she is also accusing them of racial discrimination, when noting who replaced her it was relevant context. If you just say "male", people will assume it was a white male and that she was fired to make room

But the thing is, being an insider is usually a good indication of future success. If you already have those connections, that means you have a huge leg up on the competition. You can raise more money at better valuations (meaning you can m

No need for an Ivy, just go to Stanford. There is an argument for prescreening, but having been part of the interview process for a high profile YC company in its early days, I can say that the weight placed on "likeness" is very

I was equally surprised. The controversy is overwhelming and I loved her point about being against either brogrammers or feminigeeks does not make you the other. I feel like any conversation where everyone doesn't completely agree turn

This makes the assumption that their bottleneck is the overhead of HTTP. This assumption is common on HN, but (in my experience) is a rare problem to have for most companies. It looks like they do a good job of tackling performance problems

The "micro" in "microservices" refers more to the size of their conceptual complexity than how large of a task it actually is. PDFs are one conceptual bucket that can have their own datastore and a simple API. Sending em

The author seems to have written this as flattering to Travis, but he comes off as an arrogant jackass. At the end of the day, he doesn't care about _people_. He decides he wants to own something and ruthlessly pursues it. There is mer

StackOverflow provides a good example of how this could work. They identify duplicates as you type the questions and have many moderators dedicating time, for free, on cleaning things up. Of course that doesn't solve the difficult matt

It is a quality, not a quantity problem. At a previous company I interviewed hundreds for engineering positions (Ruby & Rails or JS/Backbone.) Our average was 1 offer extended for every 300 phone screens. The problem wasn't t

Could you elaborate on its benefits vs. GitHub? Having used Phabricator in production for over a year and a half, I have been consistently disappointed by its horrendous user experience, lack of integrations, and overall difficulty of use.
