The one size fits all pricing model that Spotify has doesn't work well with how record labels want their royalties to be paid out. Perhaps it's time Spotify became a record label, like Netflix became a content producer.

+1 to the wonderful resource of the public libraries. I find that I retain more if I actually read the book then write my own summary in a journal somewhere. I learned that habit from a friend and once in a while I'd go back over the n

Speaking from a hiring manager's perspective: I don't care if you're from a dev bootcamp or an Ivy League school. I care if you care about your craft. Experience is really hard to quantify, hence the programming tests. They a

I'm not sure if this is good or bad news for companies like Eero. In the short term, this is great news because of less competition for the extremely easy to use Wi-Fi router, but I have wonder why Apple got out of this business since

"I can’t recommend technical writing as a day job for fiction writers, because it’s going to be hard to write all day and then come home and write fiction. Nowadays I work as a freelance writer, so I usually do contract technical writi

I love this! There is no reason why the NYTimes can't be a media-tech powerhouse 10x what it is now.

This is a great motivation to start. I thought this was the order: 1. Seed - delight hundreds of people and pull in thousands a month. Demonstrate your idea is viable in the niche. 2. Series A - delight thousands to a million people. Demons

Dominating the robot vacuum market has never been irobots problem. They still haven't figured out what's next. This is a similar story to Fitbit and GoPro, once you've own the market you're after, then what?

I agree with you that the wedge was there before Trump arrived. The original comment might have insinuated that Trump was the primary cause of the divide. My intention was to ask: where do we go from here?

I think you are right but there's a time and place for it. I don't think it can save Twitter at this point but could have created a healthy ecosystem if timed well. But it's very hard to time this well. Even Facebook and thei

I think this is the Medium strategy. I think there is a mid size business in it, but one that's hard to defend and will see margins erode with time. There is absolutely no "moat" in Twitter being a protocol.

The article mentions the customer configuring 3 sliders of wine characteristics, that might be too much decision making for me at a restaurant. I'd still ask a sommelier standing nearby to pick something for me.

I've tried many Hackintosh options out there years ago specifically to get started developing on iOS. While I think many machines can run Mac, I gave up on Hackintosh for iOS development mainly because: 1. Opportunity cost - The time y
