When you take an investor's money and lack the ability to generate revenue, you're forced to use shady 'growth hacking' techniques in order to fake hockey stick metrics for the purpose of finding additional investors ad

Was not meant as a jab. It just felt like it had a bit of agenda (the comment). Thanks for clearing it up. Something I did learn today is that what Balanced really excels at is making marketplaces easy. Stripe doesn't do this well at a

I generally refrain from the Balanced vs Stripe debates because I use and like them both, but this comment is unfair, so much so that if I didn't know any better, I'd guess it were from someone with an interest in Stripe.

I didn't think anyone actually used this app. Anyone know how many active users they had? I tried to use it, but it killed my battery and couldn't catch things that my Nike Fuelband could, since I don't take my phone to the g

Silly thing these gender based politics and acts of political correctness. I can guarandamntee you that if I was Tom and was innocent, mistakes in judgment aside, I would not be resigning from MY COMPANY. Is this the result of new board mem

True in part, but we haven't seen people flocking to Google Drive in droves, despite the fact that their offering is now bigger and better than Dropbox's. There's something to be said for getting even the little things right.

"Likewise, patio11's trying to capitalize on the awareness to market himself" That's what I took away from this as well.

This whole thing just feels 'off.' Perhaps I'm jaded by the past few years of disinformation and spying, but I'm starting to believe that there's more to this story than meets the eye and because of that, we may nev

With the exception of gym rats or those with a job that requires strenuous physical labor, the body doesn't require that much protein. I've been a vegetarian for 15 years or so, and would question your statement that finding non-m

People crave sugar, nicotine, narcotics, and other things that aren't good for them, so your argument falls apart there. You crave meat for a variety of psychological and physiological reasons, but not necessarily because you're m

The two comments below (and the others that will follow) aside, I was thinking the same thing. The article doesn't really paint his qualifications well.

Interesting move by Stripe, and I guess it explains why WePay and Balanced choose to focus on the API and not their d2c offerings. With the 'remember me' feature, Stripe has chosen to impede upon the territory of their developers,

How is this the top comment? 'greedy old white men' should justify dead on its own, but it also completely misses the point.

ad hominem + sweeping generality FTW Seriously though, I am not a proponent of gender restricted events, but I have not commented on this particular thread because I wanted to watch the content first, and it's not really the place for

I've come to the conclusion that he is a self-promoting hack. His primary concern should be disseminating the truth, not editorializing it on an ala carte basis. His treatment of the docs is a disservice to the public.

I'd have more sympathy for GG if he wasn't using the Snowden docs to further build his personal brand. He's treating these docs like a marketer treats a new product launch, and because of that, I have little faith in his anal

So he's expecting Panasonic to upgrade the software to support it? I don't see how you can blame Panasonic for not having something that didn't exist when the TV was made. I'm not a Panasonic fan, but I would guess they

This article is a misguided attempt to bemoan Panasonic for not enabling Amazon Prime video on their devices, which really has nothing to do with ecosystems and more to do with inferior technology and/or poor pre-purchase research. I d

This project was the subject of a lot of debate when it launched, and at that time, I was on the side of the author because I thought it seemed like a nifty project, though not a fit for what I'd give to my children. Now that I see it

It depends on how you measure great. You can be great as an above average developer, and you can be less than great as an excellent developer. I'd prefer to measure the complete package.

Agree 100%. In my anecdotal experience, companies put far too much emphasis on finding unicorns that can solve problems on a whiteboard than they do on finding above-average developers that have a strong work ethic, can learn fast, and have

Not a very helpful article. I was hoping they'd share how they managed the SEO portion in a way that would prevent a drop in rankings. They glossed over almost every point.

Thank you for bringing some sense to the debate. It's typical that threads on this topic result in a pointless debate about <40 and >40 work weeks (I'm in the > 40, but am a founder) in which neither side understands each
