We've been testing for months in Montreal, but Breather just opened in the US with our first spaces in New York City. Users reserve the rooms for private use on their phones with an iOS or Web app, pay with a credit card, then unlock t

I'm a big fan of Digital Ocean; great value and good quality. If I had any complaint, it's that occasionally I get a droplet with a wonky IP address that seems to be shared with another host (like, the SSH host key wobbles between

@dherman The document says, "extraordinarily optimizable". Do you have any numbers on that? I'd love to see benchmarks from running asm.js-compatible JavaScript on e.g. SpiderMonkey versus an asm.js-optimizing SpiderMonkey. Are we talking a

The Montreal startup community is buying this historic property in the heart of the city to make a permanent technology centre. The new building will be 30,000 sq ft and include a cafe, co-working space, and offices for funds and startups.

I'm one of the co-authors of the OStatus spec and the lead developer on StatusNet ( http://status.net/ ) and the ActivityPump ( http://activitypump.org/ ). I think the secret weapon in the OStatus arsenal is that there are literally hundred

The problem here isn't the interviewee; it's the interviewer. This is exactly why we do phone screenings and brief initial interviews. If something like location, development technique, interior design or dress code isn't going to work out

Hey, so, I'm one of the co-authors of OStatus. First, welcome to the community of people working on this important problem. I highly recommend you join this group to stay informed about what's going on elsewhere: http://www.w3.org/communit

What Ben didn't point out (which I mentioned in my comment on his blog) is the risk of not starting a company. The risk that you'll live your whole life never taking the incredible opportunity you have to make a difference. Small teams of

I think key part of this article is this sentence: "Watching your savings dwindle isn’t a risk, it’s a fact." There's no risk in founding a startup, if you take "risk" to mean "possible downside". There is a _certain_ downside; maybe that d

Can the market beat this? Or is the gravitational pull of the giant Kindle market too great?

Yeah, it's just a great API. Hits an important pain point.

Nothing. I've made several and made money on them. (Wikitravel, StatusNet). There are others who have done so, too -- WordPress.com being the classic. Probably the biggest place we're seeing this right now is in IaaS and PaaS efforts -- Ope

I've really enjoyed the responses to this question. I have yet to hear a single person say, "I'd consider it..." or even "It would depend..." It's been almost universally "No way." I'm going to try to pull together a blog post that summariz

My answer's no on this, by the way. It's probably a federal crime, and it would probably derail your startup (and the rest of your career) if you were ever caught or even suspected. Also, I'm in this to build things, not to mess up what o
