The major difference is not the size of the market. The major difference is that Instacart piggybacks on the existing grocery store network, meaning that they don't have to pay for the overhead of a big warehouse. That lets them scale

The bottom line is that a single previous success is not indicative of likely future success when creating new things. If you create something like Facebook, that's fine, because you can monetize the core product indefinitely. But when

Whether "10x" exists depends entirely on the problem domain and the way you define productivity. If the problem domain is building an HTML login page, and your measure of productivity is time to complete, then a 10x programmer pro

The difference is that the Lego movie was dreamed up by someone outside Lego (Dan Lin) who then got the Lego company on board, not an exec at Lego deciding that they "need to capture the film adjacency in 2014."

They didn't "charge" for rides for a long time. They called them "donations" and you were perfectly entitled not to "donate" anything. Of course the driver would give you a bad rating if you "donated&

Lyft created that image because they thought they would need some cover story about "friends driving friends" in order to violate taxi licensing laws without repercussions. Uber demonstrated that such a cover story was unnecessary

I hope I'm not getting Uber drivers in trouble by asking them to take longer routes (that are quicker because I know the traffic near my office better than the route planner does).

You can do your part by reporting each incident that you can. Call 911 and give them the make and model, license plate number, starting location, and likely direction of travel for each drunk driver that you can.

The public link is probably coded to each subscriber, so they would be able to identify the culprit and disable all the links from that subscriber.

Plenty of companies sell a product where the technology is licensed from another vendor and the manufacturer of record applies some design, QA, and marketing to it. Foxconn manufactures Apple computers, all of the celebrity endorsed perfume

"Rohini" is the Indian name of a constellation, so you're not the first to make the connection :)

A phone-optimized site will have less content, usually, so why send the extra data to phone that don't need it, especially when those phones are running at lower bandwidth and are often billed per gigabyte?

This is exceptionally clear writing that can give someone who doesn't know what a Web browser is an interesting glimpse into Web standards and why they matter. I hope that a business model for quality journalism can endure.

Well, Nixon used to be equally vindictive with reporters (conplete with typed up master plan), most of whom were men (only one woman made it onto his infamous "Enemies List.") It's very dangerous when people in power cannot m

That sounds like bad luck. Within San Francisco, 4th and Mission seems like one of the less likely places to be held up at gunpoint since it's so busy.

Sunnyvale is a bit of a different story because I assume everyone is driving to an office in Sunnyvale, at least the last mile, so you can move a mile and not impact anyone that much. Up in SF, moving the office one mile can add 30 minutes

The Google car project is what, 5-10 years old? I assume that in 5-10 years it will be more capable than a human driver across the naturally encountered spectrum of driving conditions. That's "quite close" to me.

The Google car's 300,000 accident-free miles demonstrates that we are technologically quite close to a level where we can have truly autonomous cars, even if the regulatory and societal frameworks need some time to catch up. And yes, w

You don't have to be paranoid about Facebook's intent to realize that it's a huge storehouse of personal data. Nobody with a brain thinks that Facebook strategizes every morning about how to collect the most data for intellig

Sure, but does any public policy need to be directed towards this use case, or the six simultaneous Netflix streams? I would think that increasing Internet adoption by 1% would have more tangible gains than increasing speed by tenfold, once
