I guess you need to think about this more as a monetized version of hitchhiking than a free Uber/Lyft. Cause in terms of liability there is about 0 coverage. You can't even know if the driver is insured at all. While I love the id

I don't get why such software isn't an open source initiative. I wish the government would give more legitimacy to orgs like "code for america". Who wants a proprietary closed janky software to rule wether you are a crim

This! Exactly this! Honestly as a CS person I might be completely biased but, I often hear this quote around the office "The hardest part of software engineering is naming things". We spend a lot of time and effort to name things

Slack? Might not fully replace Skype as I don't think there is screen sharing. But for calls and chat, Slack does an outstanding job. Plus all the possible integrations with their API etc.

I find like 22 is already fairly old to do something stupid like that and call it a day with a "sorry". You are fully responsible legally and you should know better. I agree that going all out to make sure that person gets the wor

I think it's good that people in the actual tech industry and startup eco system can laugh about themselves. It's healthy. The day they/we stop laughing is the day we have a problem.

I think it's the wrong language to say that Android generates revenue, as really it's ads and app store that do. Android just enables those activities. It's like saying that iOS generates revenue. It doesn't. It would if
