Based on street view (and my limited knowledge of Camden based on living across the Delaware River in Philadelphia) these are all corner stores and bodegas that in some cases may have some limited fresh food, but most of the sales volume is

Looks like something is wrong with our median income data in Seattle. We're taking a look at it now. Edit: we were missing the median income data for Washington state and a few other states. It's fixed now.

I actually walked through this thing a couple of weeks ago. It was a little weird, but I didn't feel "detained" at any point. It just felt like going through a high-tech turnstile, as others have theorized it would.

I just sold my pet Bitcoin that I bought for $80 a while back. This is getting crazy, I wonder who the buyers are?

This is a great analysis, I've observed some of the same trends. When there was less demand for the black cars, they could still operate like limos. Now it seems like they've just turned into glorified taxis. A theory of mine is t

Thank you for the feedback! We're rolling out our models as we acquire customers for our B2B product, and we have none in Portland yet, but hopefully it's only a matter of time. Sorry about the performance issues, I will be lookin

https://kwelia.com -- we are taking a quantitative approach to determining the market rental value of apartments. This has not been done accurately on a large scale in the past, and I think we are the first to do it well.

Yeah, I think the first clause was retroactively added to the title, because I did click through to read it before I posted--although I could have missed it and be embarrassingly wrong... In any case, I'm surprised my criticism got so

Yep, I'm even a startup founder (see my profile for more) and I live in Philly. I went to college on the East Coast, and found that I just generally liked being on the East Coast more. I like the cities on the East Coast much more than

I grew up in the Bay Area (and currently live on the East Coast) and I was not sure whether "The City" would refer to SF or NY. I guess it goes to show how myopic TechCrunch is that they didn't recognize that as being ambiguo

Thanks! We currently get the majority of our data from publicly available online listings (predominately from https://3taps.com/ and http://www.rentjungle.com/. ) Increasingly, we are also adding actual data

We actually recently made a similar map for a number of metros, normalized by square footage to control for different unit sizes. It's interesting to note the differences in the map between the two metrics (total rent and per sqft): h

Whether or not Google is about to flatten their logo, it's worth noting that Yahoo just un-flattened theirs. It's also not inconceivable that one of the reasons Yahoo did this was to appear more Google-like.

coming up with a consistent voice and narrative is actually quite difficult. Yep, especially so for a startup who is still figuring out their place in the world. This is something that we constantly struggle with, and there's no solu
