I wouldn't discount OP's comment at all. It's the main reason I use Uber. I couldn't care less about it's service vs. taxi's, or ridesharing, or most other things. The things I like about it are: 1) I have a si

I'd assume they are, but this type of app wouldn't be unexpected from Apple. I'd guess they talked with a lot of people who were using Voice Memos to record music ideas because it's easier to jot something down there tha

It's been quite a few years since I read The Goal. I can't remember now if I found the whole family narrative interesting and it kept me engaged in between the operations education, or if I found it a distraction.

This may be a really naive question (or I may be falsely inferring that you want to quit nicotine), but I'm curious: If you've cut out the behavioral addiction with cigarettes and are now addicted solely to nicotine, couldn't

If you had to cut the list, they'd clearly be first to go, but I still think they have a lock on a lot of people's attention that I don't see loosening any time soon.

A lot of people still think he has no chance at the nomination. Their hypothesis is that the Republican field is still very wide, so Trump is capturing the largest piece of the pie, but once other candidates start dropping out, they won&#x2

It will be interesting to see how successful Buzzfeed is at maintaining both models -- a huge array of clickbait, low-quality, traffic-driving (and revenue driving, I'd venture) content, and also a investigative journalism unit doing t

There are obviously lots of businesses that benefit from VC investments, and for lots of reasons. For example, at some point, hopefully, you're going to have a product that lots people are willing to pay for, but those people don'

I'm a digital marketing manager, so part of my job is buying display ads and seeing what our competitors are doing with display ads. Also see my reply to another comment that I opened the ir.net site in a brand new virtual machine with

I know my work browsing habits are clean! It's less of what my employer considers NSFW and more of what I don't want on my screen at work.

I'd normally hold my head in shame and think about what else I've been looking at to trigger these ads, but I know my work browsing is strictly professional :) edit: Just checked on the site on a fresh EC2 Windows instance with no

Lovely that this site's "sponsored content" ads on the right are completely inappropriate for work and take up a pretty decent chunk on the page. The images are: 1) Woman wearing shirt that exposes most of her breasts. 2) Man

One of the better explanations of a/b testing I've read is that there are three types of uses on your site: those who will covert no matter what, those who will not convert no matter what, and those who might convert. Testing is f

I'm a season ticket holder for an NBA team that runs its own secondary market for tickets. I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I can't use services like StubHub to list my tickets for sale because the tickets are locked do

I may or may not have done this when I didn't have cable, but the streams were slow and it would take me a few minutes in Chrome Developer tools to eliminate all the ad code so I could actually see the player!

In the US, League Pass doesn't get you your local team, the national games, or any of the playoffs. I know outside of the US, they offer an international version that has it all and seems great, but they can't do that because of t

This is probably true but I think ESPN is leading the pack because of how bloated they are. They run multiple channels 24/7 and a ton of their content is studio analysis-type shows, most of which I find absolutely terrible. I'm su

The NBA just entered a massive television deal that kicks in next year. Since player's salaries are tied to the amount of revenue the league makes, a lot of players stand to make upwards of 50% more than they make now. It's a mass

This is one of the reasons I just accept the flaws with iCloud Photos and go with it. My other family members can use it easily enough and I don't have to worry about it going away.

I'd look at this as outsourcing your MVP. Come up with an idea, have it built, and then you figure out how to market it. If you get product/market fit, you can invest in building a technical team.

And Google and Apple can send a software update that puts their ride-request app on phones across the world. Both also have billions of cash on hand and could easily fund capital expenses with debt. Given how Apple approaches everything, it

What's harder, making another Uber or making a self-driving car? Double-sided networks like Uber are hard to gain critical mass. Uber did it, which is extremely impressive, however, whoever comes up with a self-driving car will elimina

I'd say by the third iteration of both OSX and the iPod that it was clear Apple had turned itself around. There were obviously still a lot of gains to be made, but by 2004 the company was strong and there was a clear foundation laid. A

There is a two-week span every couple months where a Yelp rep tries to contact me daily, sometimes even multiple times per day. I rarely take unsolicited calls since I tend to get a lot of them, so I'm not really sure what they want. W

So instead of a currency being centralized between governments and banks, it's centralized around a few dozen miners and developers.
