No offense, but did you read the article? The point is that when children stop dying, parents stop having so many children. When the mortality rate goes down, the birth rate does too. Parents want to have X kids. If Y kids are likely to die

I don't know, they have > 200 million more revenue than instagram. I'd certainly rather own Dropbox than Instagram.

No. You don't pay 50x revenue for 2% growth. That is a huge valuation and it means they are expecting more like 50-100% growth for a few more years.

It makes the changes locally, and then syncs when you get a connection later.

I have no idea how many use it, but I've implemented it in one of my apps and it is pretty fantastic. I plan to use it in more in the future.

I have it in several of my apps, Lister 2 and Ez Budget. It's fantastic for syncing over multiple devices.

A few things. First, it costs 250, not 300. Second, an alternative would be much cheaper, but it is non zero. Third, it provides other benefits than just potentially saving money such as a great user interface and apps with which to control

Seems like if you are doing an AMA, reddit is the place to do it. I can't imagine any blog comment system working well for the task, and I can't imagine a way to build a profitable company that makes an AMA solution.

The PC and the web aren't dying anytime soon. PC sales aren't going to 0. They are simply at a point where they are good enough to last a bit longer than they used to. With the replacement cycle getting lengthened, sales go down.

That's a nice talking point for politicians, but it's not true. There is plenty of middle class in America.

It doesn't matter that "friends of my friends are not my friends" for Jelly. Jelly isn't a social network, no matter how it is being marketed. It is much closer to Quora than it is to Facebook. Whether there is a market

Apple has done this for years. "is this comment helpful" and then the reviews can be sorted by most helpful in addition to recent. i'm pretty sure most helpful is the default as well.

You wouldn't see these ratings on the Apple Store unless you are in Turkey (or changed your device's region) because Apple separates app store ratings. US devices only see US ratings. Turkey only sees Turkey ratings. EDIT: Also, A

Android hasn't remotely caught up with Apple in revenue/app. They have a huge market share advantage and yet currently the revenue share is hugely in Apple's favor. I think currently it is something like 70/30 iOS in the

While I agree that less code is better, is it the highest ROI on your time compared to actually improving the app, or maybe making a new one? It might break in the future, it might not. What you change it to might break in the future too. W

Actually, that doesn't seem very sane to me. Why are we doing additional work for functionality that we already created, and losing support for people on older versions? Sure if you are a making a new app it makes sense to use great ne

Towards the end of the year I tried to make a simple game that had IAP. It hasn't done overly well, and the IAP revenue was negligible compared to my other paid apps. In general though, I think IAP can be a significant driver of revenu

It seems somewhat unreasonable to manually penalize a website like this. If you can't figure it out algorithmically then it can't be that bad. Major companies (much bigger than Rap Genius) buy links all the time. How do I know? Th
