I like this thread of reasoning. Also ties into the whole "Facebook" phone. If they were to build one, it's possible it would be android based so maybe that's why they were just waiting for the android app. I was thinking Spotify for the mu

I think it depends on the team dynamic. If he were technical it would likely be different. Don't think there's a "list of things to do" but communication, mutual respect, and being absolutely driven animals does help.

Pretty good article. I'm a technical founder who is working with a "not-so-technical but getting more and more comfortable" founder and I've found a couple things to be useful: 0 - Speak in dead simple terms at first. Once they understand w

Yeah, the auth token is in the url. You should get rid of that. Fun to see the utm params as well. I guess you are a "Disengaged User."

I've spoken with a field engineer about building something similar to PlanGrid, but their concerns revolved around the ability to convert to AutoCAD automatically. From what I gathered, generally on a site people will draw everything out on

I still primarily listen to mp3s via my own cloud based music player that lets you share your library with your friends. It looks like iTunes before they started to add extra bells and whistles (ping buttons) that in my opinion make it less

Perhaps in the same manner that Hackruiter ( http://www.hackruiter.com/ ) works, except it's cheaper if you can get someone to do it internally.

"The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency." I find this point extremely interesting as much of what we do as developers/engineers is automate. I've always thought of it as a good thing, even if it

FriendFeed actually used a similar mechanism with MySQL for some schemaless data that they knew they wouldn't need to index. "Entity bodies are stored as zlib-compressed, pickled Python dictionaries." http://backchannel.org/blog/friendfeed

It's also quite easy to spot the url using firebug or chrome's developer tools and the "network" tab. Most sites (tumblr, turntable.fm, etc) use flash to stream the music, and require a call to a url which then creates a public s3 link whic

I think a lot of people who can't "create" greatness can still inspire it -- especially when you've got a high profile like him. Regardless of what's he's done, I'd rather he write something like that an inspire a couple people than do noth

I appreciate the honest and rational response. I felt like I was being berated for asking a sincere (although perhaps misinterpretted) question.

I don't quite understand how it is sexist. I'm actually interested in how makeup has come to be so predominant in the lives of women but not men. I've spoken with many people about it before, and most women actually liked the fact that I wa
