It worked on me (It was a leading reason for going back to an iPhone after switching to android. The others being customer service and iMessage). And I think it will be an increasingly powerful differentiator as time goes on. They don'

And look how well that works. Another great example of bad outcomes from over regulation.

For now, you might be right. But parallels could be drawn to the first dot com boom, junior mining markets etc. So much of new innovation is funded by speculation and stories. Even the current public market interest in the blockchain space,

Totally agree. The liquidity that ICO's bring to founding teams is a huge plus. It's going to better incentivize smart people to work on big, interesting projects. And get paid well to do so.

This is a great point. China's attempt is a great example. They can shut down exchanges, but Wechat channels pop up offering escrow type services, and boom, the market is back in business.

Totally disagree. We have to encourage as many experiments as we reasonably can to continue to advance / solve some of the big problems we are currently facing. Over regulation limits innovation. We should only look to regulate when th

Ah yes, how dare we poke and prod at the validity of current governmental systems and regulations. That feudal era was such great times, if we had only not gone against the merits of the government of the day./s There is little doubt t

Came here to say this. I've worked while traveling and it leads to doing worse at both of work and traveling. Work, then enjoy the benefits of disconnecting from it as you travel.

I believe it. It's so tightly aligned with the progress a driver is trying to make, and I'm sure they're doing all sorts of ineffective work arounds / substitutions right now. Think you guys have a shot at defining a new

They mention this issue on their site. It seems as if they're helping to reduce driver churn (which can be as high as 90% after 1 year) and thus Lyft / Uber let them rock and roll.

Saw your co mentioned in the Techcrunch round up yesterday. Sounds like you've found a great job to build a company around! Quick thought re: your "Sorry we're not on iOS" page. You give some android phone options (great

While you say this in jest, it is actually a good idea. The pre-sale part. Get a sense of a market need before you dive in. Caveat being you've done the work to be able to add authentic value to the people you're selling too. (whi

Thanks for clarifying. Should be interesting to watch! (as this whole space is!)

I'm not sure I'm following. Is the illegal activity you're talking about related to the legality new crypto tokens in general or that bitcoin itself can/is used for illegal activity? Secondarily, the article is only aski

Yup. That might be because it's never going to work. Or it might be because it's just not the right time.

I'm a huge fan of the interview process Ash Maurya recommends in Running Lean. I'd add to that the understanding Jobs to Be done (Read: Competing Against Luck by Christiansen) for an interview process that really get's to the

This whole "disruption of silicon valley" from a financing perspective is pretty compelling no? Even it smart contracts on ethereum are used for nothing other than the facilitation crowdfunding coin offerings, it would still have

Welcome to innovation and human progress. This is how it works, lots of experiments, a few winners. It's impossible to know what will win and what won't, so our goal should be to get as many meaningful tests going as possible. Thi

We can disagree with whether or not there is value in decentralizing certain systems, or whether a specific project or team is actually working towards creating value, but the idea that "If they succeed it will be bad for society, it w

This should be a place of constrictive conversation. Your post is not. Perhaps you want to give it another shot?

Not sure how to answer your question directly but perhaps you're missing a bigger point. The price and ease of use difference compared to legacy companies is huge.

Neither. Optimizing for user experience. Like it or not there's a new category of video content, short, casual videos. From the cooking shorts that are taking over facebook feeds to the the jealousy inducing short clips from my friend

Surprisingly, one app that is changing this paradigm for video is snapchat. Publishing content in a short series of clips that are skip-able with one tap is an enjoyable user experience.
