Congrats on launching! Can you call out from a phone janitor number as well? It sounds great, but if I return a call then they have my real, unfiltered number.

To me it seems more like the most relevant time to pitch your own project. It also might introduce the original poster to his/her competition - of which they might not have been aware. If I'm interested in the post, then I'm

There's nothing in the iTunes license that gives you permission to do this. The terms vary depending on who has the publishing rights for the music. If you upload it to YouTube, then one of these things will happen, depending on YouTub

I almost always want to see a prominent video or screenshots first (or for developer libs/services an examples page). So I'll look for that link before clicking any big buttons. When I see "Get started" I usually think &

In my experience the result seems to be more crappy cars and less "hip" drivers, if that's worth anything. I read the original plan the founder wanted was an instant "classy" ride. When I choose uberx I don't

Was I the only one who saw this as a sorta commentary on how we might be looking at combustion engines in 100 years? It will probably seem ridiculous that we were burning smelly fuel.

Ironically in my neighborhood they put up meters on the neighborhood's main street, claiming that it would increase shopping. Due to the fact that the street was always packed with residents parking long-term. It definitely did make a

Being in the in-crowd of silicon valley seems to be the best way to get funding. So, in all seriousness, your question would probably better be phrased "how do I get into the silicon valley in-crowd?"

I was in the loop, but not personally involved in the financial details. I actually didn't know we were being kept on a leash like that. We suspected it was a turn of fortunes with the investor - some negative stock stuff had happened

This looks really cool. One question - if I'm tunneling through one server to the next (required for me to access production servers) does the file upload/download still work?

There does seem to be a small group of hot-rodder hackers who are doing that, like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=369h-SEBXd8 - the related videos on the side have a few more who are racing electric cars in old bo

I had to lay off two people when a failed venture ran out of funding by surprise (the angel investor had committed to $x dollars per month for 6 months, but went back on the contract at month 4 - even though we had launched the product exac

I went through a layoff round once. The company was about 40 people and I worked in a small room with 3 others, including my supervisor to whom I reported. Everyone being laid off got notified in a private meeting at once. Everybody but m

Developing a thick skin and not feeling like every request is a life-or-death situation - this is what you need to have. You have to take the input and make adjustments as necessary, but continue to steer the project toward your vision. Yo

After you fire somebody you feel bad, so you say what a wonderful person they were. The fit just wasn't right, timing wasn't right, blah blah blah. We'll have to wait for the movie to come out to know what really happened.

This is a great path if you like starting new projects from scratch every few months. Also advertising agencies do this, although it may not be as interesting as far as technical programming challenges.

Would there be any reason why the content creator couldn't sue Facebook and/or Zoo RIAA style using the same copyright laws? Unlike music sharing, this situation probably does have a specific, tangible amount of revenue losses to

A client came to me about 10 years ago and wanted me to build an app that let individuals collect money from a group. (In their case for wedding gifts). I told them they were crazy because it would get taken over by fraudsters trying to c

It's not exactly fair because security is a process. Even following all best practices, new attacks happen all the time. Sometimes the security process includes post-attack investigation and mitigation. It's quite easy to point a

From the stories you read it seems that people who get a thrill out of this often keep going until they wind up in some degree of trouble. The level of trouble varies - one person may be scared to death from a legal letter. It may take some

This looks pretty much like piano roll to me, used in just about every midi software. I'd use it though, even though I can read music I like to use tabs for guitar. This would be nice for me since I don't play piano, but would li

If my friend got knocked out by a drone and the dude came up to claim it, I would tell him as soon as the police get there he can claim it from them. I sure wouldn't hand it over "here's your drone back, sir!"
