This is supremely cool. Tangential stupid question: Obviously there's been a ton of buzz lately (and innovation) in the drone space. What's the big technological driver that's allowed / caused this to happen? I don&#x27

On a marketing note: I get why they've chosen this name, but I think it's a bad idea. It raised all of my snake oil red flags initially. I checked out the page and it does seem like a real project, and could be pretty cool. But I

Looks great. Broadly speaking, can you talk about what you used? Just raw CSS animations / transitions?

The only redeeming thing I can find in all of this is that _some_ game makers actually have a semblance of morals and provide what I call a decent (in both senses of the word) F2P experience. NimbleBit is (or at least was when I played) one

Exactly. What you want is "the fun of an energetic culture and the chance to make a ton of money when the startup goes public" but without taking the risk associated with that, which is precisely giving up your stable (high) paych

Even if this article were 100% true (which I doubt), I wouldn't follow the advice. Switching from a low-protein to high-protein diet has had the most dramatic positive effect on my health and fitness I've seen in my short 35 years

Just 1933 Double Eagles ($20). It's actually a fascinating story ... I'll dig up the link and post an edit shortly. Edit: the essential story - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_double_eagle Edit 2: Quick a

To your point #1: We get this ALL the time in my business (which is much more expensive and a brick-and-mortar service). My answer is generally along the lines of (in a much less snarky way): "Great, if you become a regular customer w

One thing worth noting, for those that are questioning the "sanity" of this or asking how Klout can be worth $100s of millions, etc: "...a mix of cash and Lithium private stock..." So take any publicized valuations with

I can't possibly agree with this premise more strongly. Having the right co-founder chemistry is as critical (if not more critical?) than having the right chemistry in your personal relationships (there's a reason it's called

As an "outsider" to Bitcoin-mania, I have to point out how absurd a post like this reads. Or maybe absurd isn't the right word, but it reads like so many manic "to-the-moon" bubbles we've seen before -- tulips,

Sounds totally reasonable. +$19 to use miles feels completely fair. I'm back in baby! ;) (but seriously, thanks for the update. I know pricing is an imperfect science and takes time to optimize. Keep on kicking butt.)

I've been a huge FlightFox fan and used them for several big (and complicated) trips - they've gotten me spectacular deals each time. This was all in the competitive phase, btw - haven't tried the new format yet. One thing I

My first thoughts after reading the NTSB press release: * Police are going to love this. Why sit in your cruiser and fire a radar/laser gun (which requires aim, patience, concentration , and a is error-prone) when you can just sit bac

The response "I'm sorry our decision is final and we cannot communicate any further" that vendors give (Google, Square in this case, etc.) is nothing short of stomach-clenching maddening. Just reading it fires up rage inside

Why is there still such resistance at the highest levels to legalization / decriminalization? Obama and Holder have made it pretty clear (at least personally) that they don't see marijuana as a risk, and yet when the discussion ab

WHAT. This is really disappointing - first time in a while I've seen an "we're shutting down" announcement and been really, truly, genuinely disappointed by it. Physical mail is but one of many small parts of daily life

This is useful, and interesting, and a good read. My question: Twitter feels like totally the wrong platform for his thoughts. I know, I know, "it is what you make of it", but this feels a bit like a round peg into a square hole

Slightly tangential: Conventional wisdom is just that - conventional, and an important thing to teach people is that there are times when convention should be broken. Back during the height of housing bubble (2006/2007), a friend of mi

Just as a quick point of reference, they don't actually own the space. I do love them - I think they are an awesome company and expect they'll do well, but I just switched my entire company from Dropbox to Box. In short, Dropbox

It's remarkable how different cities have such radically different approaches and attitudes toward pedestrians. More so how drivers - on the whole - have this almost ESP-like ability to share a common like or dislike. One of the most (

This may have no basis in reality, but I get a sense that there's an inverse relationship between the amount of hype a "stealth" startup gets and how successful it is. Or at the very least, if not directly inverse, the hype

I don't think AirBNB actually claims this guy doesn't exist - that's a clickbait gimmick. What they do claim is that he's in the minority, which I believe is true. I'm an AirBNB host in NYC and I know a lot of other

Congrats! I'm on a plane now so haven't been able to download but it looks like it addresses the major complaint I have about journaling apps (i.e. Day One, which I use and, for the most part, love) -- which is that if you forget
