@Jack's article was in the context of Square. At Square, the merchants are the customers, and the merchant's customers are probably classified as the users. In that context, referring to merchants as users might be less precise. When talkin

Headlines like this always remind me of the term wikipedia taught me: "Disambiguation". A simple Mitt Romney Calls Tesla Motors a 'Loser' would have clarified in the headline whether the author meant Tesla (the person), or Tesla (the car co

The feet are the killer. I had the same problem too. I live in NYC so I walk a lot in addition to standing all day. I found that wearing running shoes would help somewhat. Also getting a gel mat to stand on helped reduce fatigue. To be hone

Awesome for trying out a standing desk. Take a look at this article which has a picture of what your posture should look like: http://www.tinkeringmonkey.com/site/do-your-back-a-favor-get... Likely problems I see with your set up: * Keyb

Mike, thanks for all the work you and others do on D3. This week, I attended the first meeting of the D3.js meetup here in NYC http://www.meetup.com/NYC-D3-JS/ . If you're ever on this coast, I know there are at least 190 other people who

I spent probably 10 hours on codecademy. I've done PHP, Ruby and some CS classes in college, but day to day I don't write that much code. I wanted to get some fundamentals on Javascript to be more capable with D3.js. If I didn't have all

This article is primarily about Vinted Goods and how an advisor got the project ended with a cease and desist notice to the team and a DMCA takedown notice to Kickstarter. What's striking about this particular case is that the issue seems t

Uber actually lets you request a licensed cab from the app in NYC now too.

No, I think you're missing my point. Uber is doing this expecting the cities and existing players to get pissed off and try to stop them. And then they publicize the anti-competetive nature of it. That's their strategy. Get local news to wr

Yes, I think all employees involved is a huge win. In our company of 3, we do that. But one thing that's problematic from the customer's point of view, is: "Who should I contact to solve my problem?" The ideal experience in my opinion is a

As a business strategy, this kind of brinkmanship wouldn't make me sleep well at night. Basically Uber goes into a city, hires drivers, outfits them with equipment and starts operations. And for what it's worth, the service is awesome. By t

I love that Sandi does this. However, it doesn't scale. I signed up on the 18th when her blog post about it hit HN. I didn't get a personal email from her but I had the expectation to after reading the post. :/ I'm trying to figure out how

It's pretty common to require sign in to change email preferences. Not out of malice, but more that if you want to have more than a global unsubscribe, you then have to allow users to see the prefs for a given email address without being lo

What's up with the quote on that page from "John Hobbs" (guessing it's fake) using a picture of Bryan Person ( http://twitter.com/bryanperson )? The pic is also hosted by Unbounce's s3 account it seems: http://unbouncepages-com.s3.amazonaw

When I lived in Houston and was buying a house I used a website to look up sex offenders in the neighborhood. I remember seeing one guy who was in the sex offender database because when he was 19, he had sex with a 17 year old. It made me f

After signing up: "Thanks! I'll send you an email once the book is released." How about sharing vim tips every week as you are writing the book? If you write me one email 8 months from now, I'll probably forget who you are.

Sold out? Or taken off the market? I wonder if they have any remaining inventory that they're deciding not to sell and "selling out" is to try to create demand for the next device.

Whoops - as of May 2012, TWC no longer blocks the Roku on HBO Go. Last time I tried was in April I think.

I've heard just one caveat about Amazon SES. One of our russian customers wanted to make sure we didn't use it to deliver mail because apparently it's blocked by a few of the big ISPs in Russia.

Completely agree (and that TC headline is terrible). We're an email startup (not the delivery side). I had the pleasure of speaking with Ev @ Mailgun early on in our life. He gave us tremendous help figuring out how not screw up delivery. T

Roku has the HBO Go app on it, but will probably fail you too. Subscribers log in to HBO Go with their username and password from their cable subscription, not something they get from HBO. Time Warner Cable blocks using the Roku with HBO Go
