Comedians call these "street jokes." The problem is that social media is speeding up the plagiarism process. The good thing is you have a paper trail now. A friend of mine that is a standup had a joke of his told by The Jokeman Ja

Does it really take that long to learn Angular? Will it really take long to upgrade to 2.0 and will you have to do it immediately? The web has always changed quickly because that is the only way it can survive. If you think you can write an

Their app is full of hilarious bugs and hacks. But I guess that money can buy them a real dev team?

While we are talking about new social media alternatives, Sublevel (sublevel.net) may be worth checking out. No funding, actually works.

This. Is there really this much funding out there? Here I am trying to make useful things when all I need to do is collect users in some low stakes thing.

Yeah a bit of each but with half the features.

Heroku for queue jobs. Pay by the minute. Basically I hate maintaining an AWS instance that is idle most of the time. And Heroku will only get you so far. It would probably be difficult to make profits on because you'd be charging slic

AWS has this for video encoding: http://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder I asked some commercial video friends about this once and they didn't seem too interested. Their company invested in a private network for their

Might be something here - the design of most fitness apps leaves something to be desired for the geek crowd. The only well done one I've ever found is Stronglifts.

I've thought of this too and there seem to be a few companies trying something like it. The difficult part seems to be keeping your stock up to date. You'd basically have to update it after every meal. Maybe a smart refrigerator w

It's not just random people with egg icons though. I'm getting the sense too that people, even smart people doing interesting things, are taking the medium so seriously now that there's a lot of bickering. It may be bigger th

Do wealthy people need all the hassle to save a few hundred dollars on a Macbook?

The vague "credits = dollars/pounds" makes me think that the worker is getting under compensated here.

Yeah whatever you have to do to trick investors, right? "We got 5000 new users in the first hour!"

Overdrive is great when they have something I actually want to read. Sometimes I can get a book I want from my local library and I'm willing to wait, but their selection isn't always the greatest beyond the new bestsellers. Kindle

Yeah, I think Quora only makes sense if they are bought and a piece of it is implemented within one of the giants like Google. It's an interesting new business model I guess.
