I don't think the point of the article is that gentrification isn't actually happening. I think it's that while people often talk about gentrification as a bad thing - something that hurts the poor - gentrification is actuall

I don't think objectivity and salesmanship are mutually exclusive. I've seen teachers make learning material really interesting without having to sacrifice neutrality. They simply make me care about the material - good or bad. OP

I think the biggest benefit AirBNB has over Craigslist / dealing with someone directly is insurance. Before AirBNB existed, I'd use the vacation/temporary section of Craigslist. I'd go stay at someone's place, and h

Down solves a problem that I don't think any social network has solved yet: making it simple to connect with friends in the real world. One of our friends called Down a "true" social app. @andrewlinfoot put it really well - &

By default all of your nearby friends are selected when you go to invite people to do something. We've found that people end up using Down to invite friends who they'd like to hang out with, but aren't necessarily close enoug

That's a good point. I think Seinfeld would agree with you on the negative connotation :) We chose the name Down because it's vernacular that we and a lot of our friends use really commonly. The first thing we think of when we hea

> 99% of artists would prefer this model I mean that objectively, based on how much money they would make. 99% of artists would make more money in this model. And, again, cumbersome accounting is a bad excuse for unfair pay.

Complex accounting isn't a good reason to pay artists unfairly. Having said that, the accounting doesn't have to be that complex: 1. When paying out an artist, list out the (anonymous) users who listened to their music on Spotify.

No it doesn't. There's a big difference between taking inspiration from somewhere, and copying it. CB Insights and Disk Space Analyzer use blocks to visualize size, but that's about as far as the similarity goes. This company

I'd be willing to be that Craigslist shut you down because they're building their own "watch" feature. The same thing happened with Padmapper - they sent them a cease and desist letter, and then came out with their own m
