Presumably the value in a journal publisher is: a) it's name, being accepted to certain journals is an indicator of quality b) to readers who are guaranteed published works have been peer reviewed That being said I'm not a massive

I think you are both taking extreme sides of this argument when there is a very reasonable middle ground Should a programmer you hire be able to reason about CS problems? Yes. Do they need to be able to write out the best possible solution

You got me.. Although the multitude of awful shims people invented would tend to support my assessment that a singular way of doing things was needed. Oh, and all the blog posts explaining "this" and prototype inheritance.. I take

I realize this is not related to the actual article, but having looked at their website ( http://www.workgroup.im/ ) this really struck me. Does anyone else find it a little bit gross when companies take stock photographs, gi

Obviously this is true, but I kind of agree with him. So far I don't use the overwhelming majority of new features and it does sort of seem like JavaScript is in some kind of race with itself to implement every paradigm and idea that a

Lot's of new (1 comment) accounts who are giving vaguely positive one-liners around the same time. Can't imagine that's a coincidence... Looks like a nice website, but the product probably should be a feature among others (em

I don't actually own a mac, but I can see where he's coming from. For me using a laptop with a single USB port would be very difficult. That being said my current setup has 3 ports and I still end up using an adapter so perhaps I

Not just an Israeli thing. I firmly believe messenger and groups (+ group events) are the only parts of Facebook that actually consistently provide value to users. The rest of it exists for the purpose of turning those users into a sellable

It was also the name of a gentleman's (lol) establishment in Southampton. Apparently a black sign with Isis in white letters wasn't good for business.

I had honestly never heard of it before. It looks good, but the website is completely lacking any information about the company which again makes me feel a little bit uneasy. I might try it, though.

I can't reply to the post underneath yours but I very much agree with you and for me the reason I don't want the "link your phone to your macbook" solution is because my phone and it's number are very much not going

Fairly brilliant from the Daily Mails perspective if they can raise the cash. They are growing in the US/internationally (if I am not mistaken) and taking over the yahoo front page would supercharge their growth in news and fantasy spo

Yes. I'm passionate about getting better at Badminton. I'm passionate about seeing more of the world. I am not passionate about building a slack bot or a q-tip subscription service. Best case scenario I find it fun. Hopefully I am

You don't have to like it. You do have to accept that some people have an opinion you don't like and that they have a right to express it. And where on earth did you get "physical violence" from?

Looks like a much stronger batch to me, I take back some of what I said yesterday. I would be hard pressed to choose between some of these! I love that we are seeing less fad apps and more healthcare / farming / energy / thir

The article isn't questioning their valuation but the unit costs and if working in highly affluent SF translates to mass market. Are they profitable? Do their costs (and prices) go down as they scale? Just because someone invested X fo

I agree they are betting on teams. Teams that are able to do "something". I guess I would prefer to see them take on a smaller number of teams and encourage them to go after bigger visions with more seed capital behind them. As I

I think if you add the word "profitable" to the first sentence, the "a lot" changes to "some". But I will give you that "some" :) Fluff was probably the wrong word. When the perception you want to bui

Perhaps I'm not giving the batch enough credit (there are some incredibly interesting companies in there) but it strikes me there is still a lot of fluff in between the gems. I can't help but think YC would see that, so - unless t

I think IBM Marketing Cloud might have a future if they don't screw it up. It's really 50/50 at this point. Some of the products (UBX) are good, but the architecture / API design / quality seems suspect at times. Th

The fact that they feel the need to have mixpanel, segment.io and hotjar on their webpage doesn't exactly show confidence in the product :p Analytics is such a saturated market at this point. It will be interesting to see how things sh

Indeed. Another thing I see a lot (and you can see it in another answer to this question, further down) is people (mostly SV) referring to jobs as adventures. And more generally putting work on a pedestal and conflating work with life. I me

FWIW Since IBM bought Silverpop the product has had a gigantic design (and functionality) upgrade. It is very noticeable and has made the product feel far less painful to use.
