The sheer volume of news that comes across the wire every minute of every day is out of control. I was working in online media 5 years ago and the number of sites using bots to compile half-baked articles that a junior editor could quickly

The Aeron is only for people who are small? They make them in 3 different sizes and Size C can easily handle a very large person. The level of customization is why they became so popular. To that end, they also have premium versions that ha

Google open-sourcing their proprietary standard classifies it as an industry standard? I think most home automation purists would provide a contrarian argument that points to z-wave or zigbee. :)

I don't follow. I use Spotify's native app on CarPlay.

I agree it was a very poor decision that lost them a lot of ground to Alexa – but that was HomeKit 1.0. Apple dropped that requirement last year at WWDC.

I really wish Google/Nest would end their corporate beef with Apple and integrate with HomeKit. What happened with the openness of Google? Instead of buying Nest's entire line to outfit the house I'm building, I'm avoi

Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like she omitted general contractor fees unless she rolled them into the sq/ft cost. Not that most people are qualified but I know people who GC the projects themselves to save a great deal

You're looking at top-line cost to provide care in a very convoluted market. Take chronic for example, a huge chunk is spent on drug treatment. Incentives to use generics are often misaligned from the needs of the patient. Also, about

You speak with so much conviction about living in a shoe box with 3 dogs!

My wife and I share my Jeep but I tried really hard to be carless in Austin, TX. I even experimented with a variety of Segways (at the expense of many jokes) and alternatives to a bike for the longer-hauls so that I'm not drenched in s

One of my first startup experiences was working for a company that built aspects of this concept in 2007; match-making, server provisioning, and competition/tournament workflows. We licensed it to id for Quake Live and later Riot Games

Perhaps retroactively that conclusion can be made based on Slack's marketing material, but Slack hasn't replaced email for most people. Definitely not for me. After our acquisition, we transitioned from small startup where it was

Not saying I disagree with you but... historical immigration policy certainly impacts "today's" population size that you're using to draw your comparison.

I also like SuitSupply. Highly recommend.

I love their pants and shorts. When I was in the market for a new tux, I thought they fit very well but they lacked a lot of tradition. I'm not a fan of a modern interpretation of a tux. If you want a modern tux, wear a notched lapel o

I have that shifter on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's been recalled but I actually love it. Maybe I'm an outlier but it's not that dissimilar from electronic shifters in BMWs and Mercedes. My girlfriend's Mercedes acts lik

Safety razor is the only thing I recommend to people looking for a high quality shave. However, I also make sure to emphasize my best analogy which is that of driving an automatic vs. a manual car. It's cheaper to purchase a manual and

I guess you made my point. I care very little about Twitter now because their 2016 innovation was turning a star into a heart.

The founders departed very early after the acquisition, like Rus and Dom. None of the 'top executives' were ever the original visionaries that created the product to begin with. It's sort of shocking that after Jack left but

The past doesn't imply future success but Rony's was formerly CTO and cofounder of MAKO Surgical (robotic surgery), which was acquired by Stryker for $1.65BN. He has relevant domain experience and a track record. I'd bet on h

It should be obvious to most designers that critical features of your product should not be buried or hidden. I disagree with this article that hamburger menus should be burned to the ground. I think it's useful for tucking away second

If there are a few simple things to beat a vast majority of content theft, I feel like you should author a blog post instead of keeping it private to an email conversation.

I'm the cofounder of a health tech startup. This is my opinion. The cynical spin was healthcare pre-2008. Today, our healthcare industry is finally making meaningful changes to its model, moving from fee-for-service toward value-ba

I'm the first tweet on their homepage expressing my profound love for Zenefits. Great product, my praise is authentic. Happy to see they've raised a boatload of capital. I look forward to more product development and additional cu
