This is a fun concept. We're used to top/bottom alignment of teams here in the US, with the home team on the bottom. That trend was started by baseball. BTW, you have to leave room for network branding. For example, where does ESP

One person's "dreary monotonous" is another person's paradise. Be careful with the value judgments. Plenty of people want the room to spread out and raise their family away from the urban density.

Big fan of Highcharts. Like that you can export charts to a png. Big deal for me, don't think chart.js offers anything like that?

That didn't take long. Site down. OK, this is simple folks. Use a CDN. Always for static sites. Easiest thing to do is to adopt CloudFlare. Free. Hopeoing to never see the dreaded "Error establishing a database connection" ag

Replace the word "drone" or "UAV" with "truck" and re-read your comment.

The alternative to a van is not a bike. I have four kids. We aren't riding our bikes to soccer practice and church. Sneering at van owners does not advance the conversation.

Last Sunday, Comcast, unbeknownst to me, and without my permission, turned on a wifi hotspot in my house (in north Atlanta). Causing all sorts of wifi connectivity problems. A new network appeared called xfinitywifi. Did Comcast find a chan

Amazon loves running experiments. I am sure they will learn and improve. I'm not gonna drop Spotify for this, but imagine Amazon will improve this over time and make it more useful. Hopefully enough to where I can drop the $100/yr

I'm going to agree, this strains credibility. If they can get the materials in to finish the basement, they can get the digger out. Any sane engineer could figure this out.

Unless one defines poverty clearly, then I cannot accept this premise. For example, the US census bureau uses 48 different poverty thresholds and does not explain clearly where they came from. http://www.census.gov/hhes&#x2F

HTC sold their shares in Beats a while ago. They don't own any now.

Wait until Tim Cook realizes he actually bought Jimmy Iovine's company and not Jony Ive's company. Hilarity sure to ensue.

My understanding is iTunes radio is Pandora, not Spotify. Big difference. One is Internet radio, the other a true music subscription service.

This could be an MVP. Build a landing page. Drive traffic to it. See if anyone cares. If they do, then design the product. It's quite simple really.

$3.2B? I don't get this at all. What exactly does Apple get out of the deal? (1) Their brand is much stronger than Beats. (2) They could design and build high quality headphones if they wanted, the design is quite simple. And (3) if th

The story would have been far more interesting if the OP had shared details of what his business was, what words they tried and the domain they eventually settled on and bought. What would the downside be? the domain has already been acquir

Some are suggesting here that we ignore Fred Wilson because he sold his Apple stock in 2009. Does this mean your opinion is invalid if you've ever been wrong? I have a word for people who are never wrong - lucky.

When NCR launched the first cash register over 100 years ago, the primary value proposition was to reduce employee theft. A major reason we are prominently shown the amount of the purchase, or handed a ticket to sign is so that we can verif

I think this is an overly broad generalization. People in suburbia walk all the time. For exercise. For fun. Sometimes just to walk the dog. They may not be walking with a purpose, but isn't that the point of the article?

This is not a comment on Coderwall, I haven't even looked at it yet. As a developer I've signed up for lots of garbage because it looked interesting. And never went back after the first glance. A better question, how will you get

An amazing story. And so sad. It could affect any of us. I don't know how to react other than to be thankful it has not struck anyone in my immediate family. Hopefully we will make progress in better understanding schizophrenia and wor
