I love this idea! I wanted something like this for kiteboarding, actually, which an interesting coincidence given the name. Some UX feedback: You should warn the user in advance that you are going to send an SMS to their phone number to co

It looks like it uses Bluetooth LE, which is significantly less complicated than pairing with "classic" bluetooth. Once you have downloaded the app, it should just unlock the door based on proximity. Entering a PIN code would be

Their FAQ has been updated. They do not use a proprietary lockscreen. Does Knock use its own proprietary lock screen? No. Knock uses Apple's built-in OS X lock screen with our UI on top. http://www.knocktounlock.co

It's easy to see the pricing breakdown and to estimate the fare in the Uber app. Tap the "type" of Uber (Taxi, uberX, etc) to see the breakdown.

I don't think it's fair to lump all taxi regulations together and then say Uber is decrying regulation. I doubt Uber cares about transparent pricing regulation. They've always shown the fare breakdown on the website and in

Oh, also, I see now that I have a very unclear typo. I am able to unlock my computer using Knock after using the system hot key commands to lock the screen.

Out of curiosity, how can you tell it's not the built-in locking mechanism? The lock screen looks the same, except for the glow around the avatar to me. It even shows the alerts in the top right corner. The screen locks in the same f

I don't think that's true at all. I just locked my laptop using ctrl + shift + power and was unable to unlock it using the app.

The story about Ballmer making $768m is not about a golden parachute he received. Instead, because he owns ~$10b in stock, the increase in their stock price on news of his retirement "netted" him $768m.

I'm not sure about Nokia's service specifically, but in general these kinds of services do more than just zipping files. Some things they do: * resize images large images to match the screen resolution * limit the number of HTTP requests

Looking at the response headers, the powered-by header says "Food" (x-powered-by: Food). Is this a new web framework or just a little joke?

Are they ignoring the "long-term externalities" or is it just impossible to actually know what they are? Or maybe they just disagree and are putting their money where their mouth is. To even expect a non-programmer to consider this issue

I'm really excited by this idea. I know many first-year and second-year teachers who spend so much time lesson planning. It seems like a lot of duplicate work repeatedly done by teachers that can be saved or cut down with shared lesson pl

Sorry, I thought you were just asking is it possible to see the context. I wasn't looking to defend the product. That said, though... I don't think Circles intends to aid in setting social context for other people. It's intended to help

I bet that expectation applies to writers, designers, and other creative jobs. I'm not sure what you consider the line is for "professional career." The test probably does weed out good engineers, but I would rather have a test for employe

Somehow, I doubt the collection of fewer taxes will stop things like war. Instead, it's really you, me, and other taxpayers who aren't getting our cut.

Well, I disagree that you have to sift through it. Normally, I am a "completionist" and don't want to miss anything, but I've come to accept that most content on social networks is transient and I couldn't read it all even if I tried. Eve
