Learnt a lot about Messenger's features from this article, even though I use it prob once-a-week.. seems they haven't done that great a job teaching users / onboarding them to new functionality. Feel like that would be right

I guess the web could still provide information without functionality -- not too dissimilar to what the taco bell page is doing..?

Interestingly this also supports the argument that Peter Thiel made in Lecture 5 of the Startup Class (by YC at Stanford) to avoid competitive markets or to focus on a niche of the market that doesn't contain any direct competitors

Also having some pretext for the date helps I think; asking for advice on how to get a job for the role you're interested, better understanding the company culture and working practices or advice for some other particular situation cou

I get YC makes mistakes (as does everyone else) but I expected / wished / hoped that the response would be figuring out how to make fewer mistakes; maybe an improved process to reduce the risk of mistakes and not just a blog post

I really like the way TranferWise (transferwise.com) automatically signs me in when I load the page. It's a way to transfer money online so has to be secure, but uses my email authentication to verify it's me. I don't even ha
