BART from Oakland only goes along Market, which is only walking distance from about half of SOMA (where most of the tech people work). That whole area can be pretty rough, especially after dark. Personally I'd rather walk to 4th &

There's a few benefits that a solution could provide: (1) protection from weather like rain or strong wind; (2) protection from nosey neighbors finding out about sensitive deliveries; (3) long-term storage for deliveries when you'

I'm reading Greg Egan's Diaspora right now and he uses ve, ver, and vis for the (post-/non-human) main characters. It's definitely exciting in a worldbuilding sort of way but I still prefer they, them, and their because

It's a little flowery, but what about it is marketese to you? Other than the fact that they're talking to their new audience; terms like "branded app" are specific terms that have meaning to marketers.

It's pretty easy to get numbers that big when you're Twitter's size. Salary and overhead (taxes, rent, food) for 1000 employees is probably on the order of $300-400m/year, and server costs for a high traffic site like T

Privacy is a reasonable thing to expect in basically all business transactions, regardless of whether it's listed specifically in a contract. Firms that want to maintain good relations with the startup community want to be seen as trus

Part of the reason a company stays private is to have more control over the release of financial information. Why would a company that values privacy choose to do business with a firm (a16z) that it can't trust?

It is wrong. "new Array(26)" creates an Array with preallocated space for 26 elements (instead of 26 'undefined' elements, as one might expect), and calling .map() on it will return another empty array. The semantics her

Comparing to Google Docs isn't the point. (Although it would be good if it compares well.) This is really aimed at people who have already integrated Dropbox into their workflow -- enterprise customers, mostly.
