   Juul was spun-off from Pax (unclear to me if Pax still owns a portion of it). And Juul's nicotine is the "big driver" of Juul's sales, not weed (as the commenter above claims)

   "Also, it isn't tobacco that is the big driver of juul sales. Weed is." What do you mean by this? Juul doesn't sell weed products and is hugely successful because it has made nicotine addiction easier + more accessible (

    I've never gotten a chance to try out CloudKit but it has always looked pretty cool to me, especially after previous experiences with Parse. However, it seems like it'd reallllly tie the app developer in to iOS -- e.g., let's

    This is the same advice I was going to give and is how I've been working on my design skills. One addition: you should look through Dribbble [0] or similar sites for inspiration, and you can use pre-existing resources for Sketch or Pho

    I've found Google's Pagespeed Insights[0] to be a great resource for keeping obese sites in check. Their site will give you stats on load time as well as instructions on how to optimize that time, which is very important especiall

    I've had similar thoughts for private companies, but don't know enough about the possible underlying financial product structure. Can anyone shed some light onto the possibility of something like this?
