It's much more akin to convergent evolution than any "natural state" of markets. People design comparable instruments to solve comparable problems. It does not mean there is no design. Just like dolphins and sharks having evo

It tends more and more to replace feedly for me, plus it catches websites I didn't care to add to feddly yet. It makes me very self-conscious about my embarassing interests sometimes though.

If you're sincere, I think your response would be much more valuable, and prone to be taken seriously, if you stayed on the factual side, instead of deriding the article with comments on how "laughable" and "bullshit&quo

If telecommuting was giving a significant advantage to companies, at least some companies would have implemented it successfully. Apart from specific cases, that's not happening. The author's hypothesis is that telecommuting is at

The solution is to increase density in the core parts of the Bay Area. Density reduces the distance between workplace and housing. Especially increased density around existing rail public transit (BART, Caltrain...) There is a lot of room f

"Arguing that API is a technical problem is like arguing that state borders are a geographical phenomenon. Yes, boundaries often coincide with rivers and mountain ridges. But often they do not." This is geography, i.e. humans in s

Customer attachement is still a largely unproven hypothesis. How many people in San Francisco have both Lyft and Uber? The cost, as a consumer, to use indifferently one or the other is null. The really hard challenge for Uber is: not becomi

Do you use it to text when you're surrounded by other people? The biggest drawback for me is not how noisy the environment is, it's that I literally tell other people around all that I'm doing with my phone. And as a fellow b

My biggest bias here is that I don't drive. Talking loudly to your phone feels way more intrusive in a packed train than in the intimacy of your car, even when you're stuck in traffic.

It sounds a lot like these 90s videos about the "house of the future". If I want to listen to the news, it's way less of a hassle to pull my phone or touch my watch and press play. Voice interaction is pretty slow and intrusi

Have you tried Harry's? Harry's concept is similar, an online-only, delivery model at low cost, but their branding really emphasize the quality of the blade. They build their story around buying a blade factory in Germany... Now I

The European Parliament has the 2 powers that defines a parliamentary regime: it votes the budget and nominates the governement. Without Parliament's explicit or tacit will, nothing happens in the European Union.

It does. Some people like to call undemocratic elections that did not pan out the way they hoped.

by erispoe 11y ago
The European Parliament is an elected body. And for the first time, the head of the European Commission, the actual governement of the Union, reflects who won this election.

What legacy will we pass on, what heritage will we build if all we do is imitating the past? Why don't we go and burn old books in our libraries and paintings in our museums because we think they're 'ugly'? Heritage is m

I'm curious of what kind of app you're developing. You and krschultz seem to work on apps adressing a quite different audience.

It means programmatic design. You design relations and interactions between things instead of coloring pixels.

Housing can hardly be the poster child of free-market: there's a lot of information asymmetry, barriers to entry, it takes a lot of time, even in the best conditions, to get a project built... It's highly cyclical: supply can take

What's the business model of Wolfram? Do they make most of their reveue from Mathematica or do other things like Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Language bring a significant chunk of it?

Thanks for your feedback. A lot of startups in that space seem to rely on building a large community of engaged voters, and then they'll figure out where to extract money, social media style. The problem as you point out is building th

What's the business model you had in mind? It looks hard enough to even get people to vote, they are pretty disengaged towards politics in general, and I don't see how to base a business model on having people spending time fumbli

d3 is pretty much of the first type, it binds data with DOM elements. The DOM elements can be of various types. With your proposal, what we miss is something akin to Bootstrap, but for data visualizations, styling SVG elements for instance.

This is much more a european-centric movement akin to Siriza in Greece than it is a spanish speaking thing. Southern Europe got hit hard by the recession and southern states were semi-forced into adopting austerity policies by the european

We have yet to see an almond shortage turn into a revolution though.

Yes, many crops use more water than Almonds, but the main problems with almond trees is that they're slow to grow and you need to water them at all times, even in a severe drought. With seasonal crops, you have the option to switch to
