I could see Instagram acquiring this as well.

Sure, but the cost will probably consume your entire savings.

It's not just a full scholarship, but a full scholarship plus a salary!

But that doesn't matter. Uber provides a service, at a price they set. Those who don't want to pay the price can just find an alternative. It's not as if their mission is to provide some kind of community service. Lots of oth

It doesn't matter that it isn't "fair". There are going to be people who are willing to pay the increased rate. The alternative is no drivers on the road, so the increased demand pricing probably comes out on top in term

I just came back from China and used Uber there... They have much better cars there: Audi A6L and MB E-class.

My Uber driver just told me to request the ride when the plane touches down so he can get the permit ahead of time.

The address and phone numbers are real [1]. But the letterhead logo seems to be an outdated one. [1]: https://authorcentral.amazon.com/gp/help?topicID=200626000

On the flip side, I'd much rather the public schools in the US place the same amount of emphasis on math and science as the schools in Singapore. I've spent 10 years in the education system in Singapore, and when I came to the US

I'd say the US has more problems than Singapore... And on the topic of taxes, the tax rate in Singapore is actually much lower than in the US (based on CA; middle class).

Well, there's little risk to Shopify in allowing bitcoins to be used. Any risk is still on the seller.

I've met one of the Stem management execs, and heard the pitch. What they're doing is to smooth out the spikes in the day to day energy usage. Their software will learn the usage pattern over time, and try to predict when spikes w

Not really... FaceTime only lets you do iOS to iOS. Wifi calling lets you call any phone number.

It should just be 6 horizontal blue bars. Not the QWERTY keyboard.

Agreed. Ideally, you are an early employee at a startup where the founders had some previous successes. This way you get to see and take part in behind the scene processes as implemented by the experienced founders.

Hmm, but if you browse the older activities under "Recent Site Activity", two names pops up: Allyson Gee and Nilma Rubin... LinkedIn shows both of them as employees of Google.

No data plan is needed. You can implement something similar to two factor auth tokens. Then the phones only need to know the correct token to present to the lock.

Apple's Passbook works from the lock screen without having to unlock the phone itself. The pass shows up when your within close proximity to the airport.

But if you already have the phone with you, might as well use the phone itself instead of adding another card. Although the e-ink re-usable baggage tag British Airways is working on seems cool.... You could have something similar to replace

The hardware works. It's mostly lacking in the software side, which I presume will get better over time with 3rd party apps in the Leap App Store, and also when existing applications start implementing the functionality.

I'd factor in the fact that the people density is lower up front, probably aiding you in getting off the plane faster.

That's David Eun, a Samsung exec, so he was probably up front in biz class.

The early implementation of Stripe in activemerchant (library that Shopify uses for payments) didn't have a auth/capture capability. So the early version of Stripe captured everything as soon as the cart was checked out.
