I wish Wikipedia would score their pages based on # of contributors and their past contribution histories, and flag the page at the top for the user if the score is too low. I tend to trust Wikipedia as a legitimate source, but if it can be

Going cell by cell in a backwards fashion seems to be a tedious way of checking for errors, and goes against your normal logical flow (forwards).

It is much harder to peer review for errors than code.

Can any of those other services give you ten minutes of free talk time without registering or downloading any software? Within 30 seconds from that link you can make a phone call, I don't think Skype or any other comparable services can do

What if core features of the app rely on the permissions? Is the onus on the app developer to build checks for permissions or on the user to realize the app isn't working the way it should because they disabled some permissions?

There is a valuation issue here - if you have # of customers x, price your product at y and make revenue z=x y, your valuation in future seed rounds will somewhat become based on revenue z. If revenue z is not pivotal to your runway, you mi

1) They should put a captcha on their sign up form. Bitcoin has gotten significant press in the pass week, but not enough to bump registrations by 10x (60k in March alone to 20k per day) 2) "The number of trades executed triple in the last

It is pretty, and probably looks great on Retina screens. I would be worried though (and would include a "light" theme) when displaying on TVs. Black levels on most low to midrange TVs are notoriously bad, and even worse in high light envir

Would help to expose padding and box sizing to the user.

I completely agree, and we as a society need to learn how to live in a world where a single tweet by an semi-influential figure can cause such a shit storm. How liable are people for actions resulting from a tweet? If someone famous snaps a

Smart move by SendGrid. The short term windfall for having ditched her is easier to swallow than having your brand name attached to this whole fiasco. After the DDoS attacks I am sure they lost paying customers, and as a startup they cannot

"I would feel really uncomfortable if I was in the same room as this person. What if I accidentally say something that she finds offensive? Am I next?" I'm not agreeing with anything Adria did, but the issue of being labeled as the "tattlet

Are there any services that keep track of republishing without attribution of artists' work (images, videos, writings, etc)?

That is in fact what I meant, but OP has the point that they are more trying to compete in the BI tool arena.

I think you should consider dropping the design part of the workflow - there are applications out there that are very good at this and it will be hard to compete there, and it is not part of your core product value. I believe the core value

"User acquisition of auction customers is indeed expensive, but I bet there are opportunities in peer to peer trust arrangements similar to escrow transactions." I like where you are going with that. I can envision a marketplace that is bui

I'm wondering if eBay is making an attempt to remove low-margin products off of their screen estate and make a play in higher margin listings.

by salman89 14y ago
Why is this a good time? User acquisition in this space is expensive, and I don't think eBay raising their sell side fees makes a huge difference in bringing in consumer traffic. Sellers still have to list on eBay due to sheer volume. eBay

Good comparison for RapGenius/9GAG type sites, but generally comparing startups based on a traffic ranking is probably not the way to go.

Feels like it was a bail out by GoPro due to the public beating they are taking for the takedown notice, but obviously there is no proof.

Why? Because they gained enough clout to close a government contract? If anything, trust should go up.

Are taxi drivers unionized? If so, what we might be seeing here with Uber is the reason why they are unionized.

by salman89 14y ago
Not so far-fetched, but I do feel that it will be very difficult to have conclusive evidence to prove as such.

The issue is that when you are hovering over a menu item, and you are aiming to hit a submenu item that is not directly to the right of the menu item. For example, if you are hovering over a menu item and wish to select a a submenu item tha

Besides for executing minors/mentally handicapped, the US does all those things. Torture (waterboarding), hold prisoners without trial/charge (Guantanamo Bay), allow their leaders to execute citizens summarily (drone strikes), incarcerate p

Likely is security theater, but in all fairness they might actually be doing all those things and wanted a UI element to let users know what is taking so long.

I'd like to see someone tackle actual website building via a tool like this before tackling the collaborative portion. At the end of it though the money is in enabling internet marketers/salesmen to focus on their craft while eliminating te
