That was my first thought when I read about Josephine. It appears as though selling home-made food recently became legal in California[1] (after the cook has passed an online course). I imagine most other states won't be so amenable to

I believe the biggest disconnect is that working requires government authorization but owning real estate does not. Ordinary citizens not only compete with locals for real estate, they compete with the world's millionaires who are look

I can already get free same-day delivery from Amazon or various grocery stores via Amazon Prime Now (I'm in Manhattan). What does an extra $200/year get me?

Where in New York do you live? Everywhere I go in Manhattan accepts Amex. I've even been to a bar that only accept Cash or Amex ("the Costco of bars").

I should have been more clear. I was using Tim Cook's statement as an analogy for flashing/side-loading. Allowing good guys to do it means bad guys can do it too. Tricking a user into side-loading malware does not require physical

Fair enough. I used to keep up with jailbreaks way back before I started buying unlocked phones and had read about difficult-to-crack OS versions (and the as-of-yet unjailbreakable 3rd generation Apple TV), but I wasn't aware that it w

I'm saying that the flashing/side-loading is the back door. A malicious actor with physical access to your phone (think screen repair shop, TSA agent, etc) could flash a compromised OS or install malware on your device. Also, th

My Jira experience was absolutely terrible. We were an 8 person team at time and looking for something more robust than Trello and ended up settling on Pivotal Tracker. I signed us up for an Atlassian Cloud trial and right away things weren

And where is that? Like he said, any back door for the good guys is a back door for the bad guys as well.

Just because it's wrong now doesn't mean it was the wrong decision when the decision was made. Choosing X over Y could have meant they got out the door quicker than a competitor and got them to the point they're at now, even

One of the reasons I hesitate to use Amazon Now is that big "suggested tip" field. I don't tip the UPS delivery person, why should I tip my Amazon Now delivery person? What's been the norm for you all?

Facebook ads are far better citizens than web ads. If all web ads were like FB ads, I don't think there would be such an uproar about ad blocking. The other big difference is that we give a lot of targeting information to FB voluntaril

The article is a bad summary of the original BW article[1]: > Gogo can provide a plane with as much as 10 megabits per second of connectivity, which is about half the average download speed on Verizon’s 4G network. Only one-third of Gogo

You see apartment-finding startups all the time here in NYC. The problem to finding a good apartment isn't that there isn't a good interface, it's that a lot of the listings are given exclusively to brokers, and even if you f

Even worse, I've had servers flat out refuse to accept it. I couldn't even imagine opening a tab at a bar with it either: It looks too fake to be taken as collateral, and I don't know if the magnetic strip still works if the

How does this differ from iTunes? There's a business model that works, and the experience is pretty much exactly like Popcorn Time, except iTunes has those pesky Rent/Buy buttons.

I hope someone can save us from the "grid of icons" UI that pervades set-top boxes. The grid works fine for handheld/desktop applications where access is non-sequential, but when we're using just directional arrows, that

How does this work on Apple Watch? AFAIK, WatchKit doesn't give access to the heart rate sensor.

I've been using the betas and have added most of my photos to iCloud Photo Library. My only issue with Photos.app is that there's no way to geotag and add/edit metadata on either platform. I've resorted to writing an iOS

Basing this analysis on ZIP Code greatly underestimates the reality many Americans face, especially in more densely populated areas. Here in New York (10003, for example), the site says I have four options for broadband, but in reality, man
