I don't think that's the issue. The issue is that the founders were pushed out. Lane indicates that business tanked ever since they left, which is what presumably led to a fire sale. It's one thing if the business tanks when

I can speak in 4 languages and just about manage to converse in a fifth. There are definitely advantages to knowing more languages than one: 1. People love you if you can speak their language without forcing to search for a common language;

Wow, 78% from Steam! Does anyone know if there is enough demand for educational games on Steam? Worth porting from mobile?

Wow. This is just insane. I was a bit confused initially as to how a mechanical problem can be solved by a software update, but then someone explained in one of the comments that it's about fuel-injection tables and stuff. Incredible,

I think the title could have been rephrased. It's definitely a good idea to build some financial sense from young age, helping kids figure out how budgeting works, where the money gets spent, how it all works, etc. It also works if the

As a slack user, I think this is awesome. This is one thing that we do miss currently, a video calling facility. I mean we can log into skype or google hangouts something else, but having it in slack would be totally cool! I've never u

What does "same idea" mean? - Same problem being solved - Same solution to the problem being solved - Same solution to the problem with exactly same target audience and brand positioning etc.. I hope you see what I'm getting

But won't it be same if you look at percentages? Unless you hypothise that porn users not having flash installed is somehow a larger percentage compared to average web user not having flash installed?!

"Meh!"? Really? Apple has a product portfolio. I agree iPhones are doing much better right now in terms of growth, but I have no doubt that the completeness of their portfolio (from macs to ipads to iphones) is what keeps sales fo

Slack is definitely an experience, if you compare it with something like hipchat. A few of the small things I've noticed - - Sounds are just beautiful. The pings and the clings are selected very thoughtfully. Sound is the invisible thi

I think everyone underestimates how much the slack team's game-dev experience with Glitch (even a failed one) would have impacted Slack's success. There are tons of things that makes using Slack "an experience" - tiny bi

It's easy actually - once you realise that everyone new you meet has an interesting story, and that you can learn something new from pretty much everyone, you automatically start caring about them. Humbling experience actually - even t

The difference is straight forward - Facebook "owns" Whatsapp, and the deal was paid majorly through stock, if I remember correctly, vested over a period of time. SpaceX still has it's independence and fresh infusion of $1bil

I think one important step is to genuinely care about people and what's happening in their lives and being in interested in just knowing them, whether or not they are useful to you immediately. Most good networkers I've seen are

Hi, Thanks for the question. We realised that getting kids excited about the game is the first step to getting them to play it. Especially when they have blockbuster options like Subway Surfer, Plants vs. Zombies, Temple run or even 100s of
