I'm wondering why you've chosen such a competitive category. You're in the same league as Runkeeper, Nike, Fitbit, and all the other fitness trackers and they make their income through the sale of devices so they can afford t

I love Robinhood because it has made trading so accessible to me. I started out by putting in $100 and as I gained confidence and started doing more research, I started adding more funds. I've tried many services in the past - Schwab,

Grooveshark, I want you to know I loved you. As a user. As an ex-employee. You taught me so much. I remember my task as an intern was to turn Autoplay into something more beyond office employees voting on their favorite genres of music. I r

This idea became much more palatable to me when I went to a restaurant after work to grab some take-out for dinner. I walked inside and saw no one sitting down but the kitchen staff were furiously working and cooking. I thought it was so st

I was there for that pitch and I remember it only because it was entertaining, not because I had any judgemental thoughts. If anything I had (and still have) so much respect for people who talk on stage because public speaking is the bane o

As a fun thought experiment I tried thinking about this issue as if it affected my profession (software development). Imagine if electricity was going scarce. Yet prices are pretty cheap in the kWh such that I don't really notice it. I

I think people are vastly over-estimating how much time they are saving using these "on-demand" apps. For a mom who is trying to juggle 2 children, yes, I can see this as a huge help. But for the vast majority of the target demogr

This makes me happy. After having been an Uber customer, then an Uber driver, and now a Lyft customer, I'm more than happy to transition my business to Lyft. Where Uber made me feel douchey, Lyft has made me feel part of a community. E

There was a service that used to do this called ChaCha. It raised a bunch of money but never became profitable and went out of business I believe.

Many people here are making the argument that this is more efficient than opening up an app or going to a UI. However after looking at one poster's times of actually using the service, it seems like the opposite. ( http://bri

There's actually a very simple answer for this. When you go to Yahoo.com on an iOS device it asks you if you want Yahoo to be the default search engine. Since Yahoo is a popular portal (I go to Yahoo news atleast a few times a day on m

How are you getting the data from Braintree? I've tried exporting my data from them before but they don't seem to support an export API. Are you getting raw CC data from them?

Its entirely ok to feel anger, just as it is entirely to feel happiness or sadness. There are no right or wrong emotions. The grieving process is a multi-stage process- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance and you can go th

There's a difference between this type of post and a post by OkCupid. OkCupid is a dating platform and their blog posts are net-positives for their users. What should I say in my first opening message? What do I wear in a picture to at

One of the things I've always hated about Uber is that they are in expert in euphemisms for wage cuts to consumers. "February is a slow month! We're gonna make this deal sweet for you by lowering prices 20%!" "March

Why do I dislike Uber? 1) They readily treat their drivers like second-class citizens (I was one of them at one point in time) 2) They use "Special Promotion" as a euphemism for "this wage cut is coming in 2 months, you bette

Not all sharing economy "jobs" are created equal though. Being an Uber driver (or Taskrabbit or Instacarter or Postmate courier,etc) is certainly closer to being a servant than being an owner of a business. If we're thinking

Ultimately, as in all professions, you want to be supported by your manager. Building that trust is what earns you promotions, helps proliferate your work, and contributes to your career goals. So I completely agree with your comment, and

I drive for Uber too, or used to anyway. I applied because I heard stories of drivers earning $2k in a weekend during a conference which seemed like the perfect side income source. After a number of drives I jokingly told my coworkers that

The data here would be very useful for performance reviews for employees. For HR, it would also be helpful for looking at morale at a high level.
