Similar to open sourcing "ugly" code. At some point the benefit of releasing is worth putting out non-perfect work. If there's interest, someone can build on what you've done and fork your progress.

I think being a good CEO involves many traits. Obviously he had the wrong impression of where Pebble stood in the marketplace and where the company was headed (ie. he didn't foresee the fitness trend, or thought they could successfully

I always chuckle at "Our most advanced iPhone ever." One would certainly hope so!

Before this generation of Apple products, I found their product shortcomings so minor that I wouldn't consider switching. I think I'll always favor apple products but I'm definitely loving them less than I always have. - If y

Sorry for late reply, just saw this. Nobody in my circles uses WhatsApp, so nobody uses WhatsApp.

The thought of my mom calling me for help answering a question on the debugging tool I gave her made me laugh.

Anecdotally, among my (20 something year old) friends, the iPhone used to be a must-have for many reasons; now, it's only a must-have for imessage. If android phones could send "blue texts" than I'm sure many would switc

They admit in the article that they picked up javascript over the weekend. I credit them for open sourcing it rather than waiting until it's perfect code, which would result in it never being released.

I think the iOS "unsubscribe" banner could be adding to the chaos. Not sure about this exact situation, but I've been caught in mailing lists where people instinctually hit the unsubscribe prompt which just sends an email wit

I really like how the author posted the fake pricetag before spending time implementing payment processing - easy way to verify people will pay for it, low cost of experimentation. I've heard of other companies using similar strategies

What parts of the picture make it tricky? Is it balancing the roofing with the whites of the building/snow? Genuinely curious, I don't know enough about photography to tell what shots would be hard to capture.

Thanks for following up on this, that's helpful advice.

Curious: Do we actually know that we stopped nuclear advances? I'm guessing it's not something that would be publicized.

What are the best ways for hardware startups to show traction pre-launch? We feel like we have a compelling prototype, but are worried that a lack of pre-sales/press/etc. will be a red flag.

I did the same thing, this is definitely worth looking into.

After three accidental ad-clicks and a scrolling ad on mobile, I gave up on reading the article.

But it's not the publishers process or business model that is causing the problem - it's the process of filling ad space that is broken. Sure, you could pick one ad network and micro monitor it, but you wouldn't make enough m

It's not that simple. At any one time, a publisher can be serving ads from a few exchanges, a few different private sellers, and custom built ads for brands. And these all are served in different combinations across several different a

As noted other comments, this would only apply to the /r/technology subreddit. The general feedback is in favor of blocking these types of sites. I'm pretty amazed at the current state of ads. With multiple ad exchanges, priv

I'm more of a LoL guy, but i'd be excited to see this in action. I think it's actually an easier challenge than starcraft - the action space is much smaller and dodging/aiming AI already gives some players extreme advant

I really enjoyed the deepmind channel, but it's too long for me to enjoy in its entirety. I think a 15 minute video recapping the game and its crucial strategic moments would be fascinating.

Thanks, I'll have to try that out.

I've had this problem as well. I go back and forth between Obj-c, python, javascript, matlab etc. so much without spending a significant amount of time on any one language that I often feel intellectually deficient because I don't

We accept the risk of a car crash when we get in our car. Going to the mall or movies doesn't have the same mental acceptance of that risk, making it more tragic. I think you can be sad for the victims and their families and still awkn

As a student at Dartmouth, I find this article to be extremely accurate and representative of the culture I've encountered amongst the protests here and (through conversations with friends) at other places across the country. As a whit
