That's some great insight, thanks. I own a Ford and Sync is just a horrible, PITA to operate piece of software. Extremely slow and sluggish. Maps and directions had hardly any intelligence to it and most of the time I end up pulling GM

Anyone else waiting for the Arist? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/236195807/arist-brews-c... I have a feeling if it's successful, it's going to give Keurig some headaches.

It all depends on whether something is worth your time or not. A person whose time is worth more might find it more valuable to hire someone whose $/hr is half of his (not necessarily cheap) who can get the job done in less than twice

i've used gulp for building frontend dependencies, as well as running automated tests whenever a file changes. It's been working well, with the exception that sometimes it just dies, and sometimes there's a failure and some s

As much as we ask ourselves whether the price of living is one worth paying, more than often we would prefer to pay down due to the inherent nature of survival in us all. Even for those who experience a lot of suffering that possibly brings

QR codes seem ripe for disruption, but I am not sure Li-Fi would be the one to do so. Given an object that is illuminated, how would one know if it's Li-Fi enabled? If there needs to be a sign that says 'Li-fi here', might as

I think having the candidate speak to his favorite project or past work is a great gauge of passion and communication skills. I always ask that, albeit in the face to face interview. It might be good to bump that step further up the funnel,

It's hard to gauge a person's qualities from a resume. Things like culture fit (extremely important IMO), fast thinker, quick learner - are all aspects that can't be garnered from a resume. IMO, resumes are only a decent filt

A dedicated lane for buses seems like quite a waste if there aren't many buses sharing that same route. Dedicated lanes on a road like El Camino Real with plenty of traffic lights won't help too much either. I've lived in a c

most of the time it's extremely hard to just go open source when a startup dies. There's issues of ownership and also the amount of work needed to get a typical startup codebase clean, refactored and open source ready is difficult

glad there are a good number of talks on wearables. I hope they announce a better looking Glass though. As much as I love using Glass, it's just not aesthetically pleasing. Same goes for other wearables like smart watches - needs more

Cool idea, but the 100 feet line of sight requirement is kind of restrictive. Granted it uses low power BT, I'd still prefer if it was geolocation based.

IMO rebase is great as a cleanup tool right before merging the feature branch into master, especially squashing meaningless commits. I don't think squashing everything down to a single commit is a good idea though, since separate commi

Pretty sweet landing page. I think having lower rates for microtransactions would be nice, as many have pointed out.
