I participated in a top incubator and totally agree with this comment. cofounder breakups are such a nasty affair and I've part of one. we tried to resolve the issue but by the time it got to that point, it was a bit too late. I someti

some more details: coins initiated to be sold on Dec 6 -- never received in my bank account although it looks like it "completed" on Dec 12. putting me in a weird financial situation.

this is awesome.. i'm a student in the social sciences and name disambiguation for ethnicities is something I deal with quite often. i've just checked it out. thanks for this brilliant piece of work!

yeah definitely! it's like academia... the ideas being tested are often very obvious but when empirically tested and validated that's when you start developing the capacity for deeper thought/theorems and business frameworks. cool stuff aus

Wait. Does this mean I no longer need to create multiple authentication services?

Nice article. Def just do it and see how people react. Another way to help with assessing price is to build a simple model. For a recent project, I built an excel model which is essentially a few assumptions (read: probabilities and gues

Wow. Feeling like this will be a predictable cycle.. I remember how difficult it was for me to convince my friends to install an app on Facebook due to the FarmVille Fatigue. Led to me and others writing "we will never post on your wall w

Totally agree. Some people are just not normal Joe users. It totally makes sense to give a bit of a pop to those in your VIP list. Also gives something for these extra Joes to inspire to. This dynamic totally exists in the real world so

awesome! thanks for your comment. pls share with others that are also looking to apply for incubators. we are definitely trying to expand the offering, but one step at a time. focused on these 30+ incubators, but easily found over 200!

This isn't surprising. I've done work in the federal government. Recently we built some products that did more, looked better and cost far less ($200k) than the other big name consultants. Our risk for further funding is that it didn't c

I agree with this point and I too adore kickstarter. Generally, the startup advice I've been receiving is to show vision by creating a really solid pitch rather than actually building (or only build for pitch purposes). I understand why t

this is cute and makes sense! this reminds me of the iPad apps that ask for a 5 star review after they give some stats. For example: "i've noticed that you've been playing this game for X hours. why not give us a high rating so we can co

Congrats! It's great that you didn't just sit around on your off time and instead got up and started coding. It's definitely the way to do it.

I've worked on a few projects over the years and finally had one that I was proud to call a startup. We got into a top incubator program and busted our butts for a really long time. We had a set of willing investors, a rock solid MVP evol

Don't completely agree. Building an ecosystem isn't just providing an API, its providing an API that actually works. Facebook might have gotten away with a shoddy API (I've created two social apps) that includes inconsistent data and susp

:) Challenging things are often worthy endeavors. And pls don't be afraid to ask questions to the community when you get stuck. I'm sure there are plenty of people wanting to help!

try starting by learning to think logically! like everything in life, i think people want to rush to the "fun stuff" right away and can get super overwhelmed. Get the logic part down and you'll see emerging patterns over and over again.

I love this comment. Totally agree. Some people may view learning to code as a chore and a do it once and check it off sort of thing. It's such a misconception. Just like being a good financial analyst (disclosure: I was one) where you

can one monetize an extension? i've always thought it would be nearly impossible based on its distribution. in any case.. its a long drawn out process but i think you can monetize through understanding customer taste. preference in movie

I don't think kids will make such a big jump. :) But I agree in a point you made... you can't expect a "learning tool" to be created with just a few cute graphics. I would argue that this sort of tool would be super valuable once you add

I learned to program on my TI-82 calculator because I couldn't pay attention in my Engrish class. Learning to program allowed me to actually understand the math I was studying and put it into a practical framework. Especially since I was
