In part because Android's many devices/configurations make it a less predictable development platform. (I'm not saying there aren't reasons to develop for Android, but you asked for one reason people don't do it more.)

Don't confuse overwhelmed/busy with someone disrespecting you - some people's calendars/inboxes scroll like crazy, and they can miss things without any ill-intent.

For now. It would be a mistake to assume their system is so secure now (and forever into the future) that the data can't be found, or simply leaked inadvertently by Quora.

Hey gary, any quick tips for us on how you manage notification about you/your brand? Ie how do you find threads about you and reply so quickly? Google alerts seems ok but not as real-time as I'd like.

Can you explain why? Unless I'm misunderstanding, pedestrians can still cross, and the neighbourhoods are divided by the massive highway, rather than the specific turning pattern...?

Tried it, and now regretting it. I log in with 6 devices, and the idea that I'll have to go through re-authenticating them each month isn't fun. Each re-auth requires a fresh code from the app. I access google apps via Safari because Apple

Right. Reminds me of the old joke, "what do you call the person who graduated last in med school?" Doctor.

Just pointing out that relative poverty and relative wealth could both come with increased risk of suicide.

I think your logic is generally right, but I'd say in addition to being a gateway into future deals, it's also a guarantee that they'll be in for any truly huge wins. There's a solid chance that the next Google or Facebook-level company wil

> In a way, making discrimination illegal is a form of a thought crime, as it requires determination of the thinking process on the person charged with discrimination. I never thought of it that way. It's about your biases but it requi

> There is a narrow set of classes on which it is not allowed to discriminate but all else is fair game. You're thinking about laws around hiring. I can't charge you double to buy a VCR in my store because I don't like your face.

I think you're wrong. 12 oz of bud in a can is a different product than 12 oz in a bottle. 12 oz by the can is different than by the case. But if you line it all up and make everything else equal, and have a line of customers in front of

I don't believe it's legal to charge different prices to different people for exactly the same product. Changing the price (for everyone) is fine (you could even change the price 5 times a day), or adding a back scratcher and bumping the

Hey Shawn, a couple pieces of admittedly unsolicited feedback in case it's helpful. a) It'd be great to check out your website rather than a linkedin page. People want a sense of who you are as a person rather than just a resume. b) Buil

I watch this in action every time I ask my four year-old which is his right or left hand. Poor little dude gets it wrong almost every time.

Upvoting so more people see this topic, and commenting to say I do the same. Making it easy for users to get off your list is worth the effort both in terms of managing your brand's perception, and making sure your deliverability stays high

If they use GetSatisfaction or UserVoice, click through to their community. If they have any traction at all, you'll find a bunch of feature requests, how popular those requests are and how they responded.

Have you actually read the book? Everything is subjective, but I feel it offers plenty of value, and my life is improved for reading it. Specifically relating to nutrition & weight gain. I don't really care for or about Tim's marketing

When you research/start everything, a lot of time is wasted. Instead of trying to stay excited about any random one of them, instead write them down (so your brain doesn't have to worry about forgetting them) and then a week later, you'll

I prefer the old, not from nostalgia but because if you look at all the striping, the siren is a very busy design element. On the old logo, that busyness was somewhat encapsulated inside the simpler pattern. Now the busyness is more visib
