I do think it's a real issue, but I think it's nuts that everyone encounters a 4% + 99¢ processing fee just to move money around among friends. Our payments system is in need of a serious update.

This comment is extremely well put. The terminal is an amazingly pragmatic and honest interface. After all, almost all manual interactions leave you wanting a way to automate. Meanwhile, almost all au…

When I was living in Japan, my mother would use the game Clue to teach English. The interesting cultural component we noticed was the Japanese players had a really hard time not sharing their cards wi…

I do think there is a cultural component to innovation. My fascination is India. There is so much software development talent there. I know a lot of developers from India who participate in the succes…

This article is flawed. The author sees the right problem but draws the wrong conclusions. I agree that great passions rarely make great businesses. Doing what you love is absolutely not a guaranteed …

It's not at all funny, but it's good: it's a detailed, honest look at the life of an office manager. I like this 'day in the life of' approach to providing a job description.

I guess I'm late to this? It hits the sorry page and then redirects to another project.

I got used to it when scrolling forward. When you want to scroll back up, though, this approach really seems to break down.

In any situation, you don't want to be the lone wolf of honesty. Your company or team needs a culture of honesty. It's simpler than you realize. Have a conversation, make an event out of it. Say, "Loo…

This happened to me, too. Same situation. They were able to fix it after some discussion, but it was pretty crazy that it's set up this way.

I know the photo background at the top is blurred for effect and to make the text legible, but it makes it look like a bad photo. I'd just find something with less visual noise so you don't have to bl…

This is really great work, guys. We've been using Firebase for a while now. The uptime, low-latency, and consistency have been impressive. A good security framework was really our last hurdle. We're d…

So, I'm really disappointed. The thing I was most looking forward to was the return of public transportation schedules on my iPhone. But this new app simply says, "Unavailable in this region." They we…

Definitely don't agree that the voice is any better. I'm still impressed by the improvements we've made with synthesized speech (anyone remember the PowerPC AVs?), but both Google and Apple have work …

That's an interesting perspective, but there are a few problems with it. I think Apple could live without the brand tarnish from the Maps app (mostly, the errors in the data). It's become a running jo…

I'm curious if any knows of a particular talk that prompted this response. I did a brieft search but didn't uncover much.

Totally disagree. While not at gasoline car levels, Tesla has certainly passed the 'toy' mark in range. What's the range on a 5 series tank? 500 miles or so? 300 miles is more than enough to cover my …

Here's my question: how do you get & keep a critical mass of people on the site to evaluate these ideas?

jcampbell: You are certainly right and I humbly admit we could have spent more time polishing the copy. My English teacher would be heartbroken to hear a direct comparison to The Decider, though that …

Thanks for the comment. I can see that spelled out all together, it feels busy. The great news is that at heart, it's chat and the extras are hidden easily. Our model is a good text editor, with power…

This has been a part-time labor of love, but the more we build/use it, the more we love it. We've recently applied to TechStars to see if we can #domorefaster as they say. Hopefully they take interest…

I think you are right about the brand transference, although to be perfectly honest, we hadn't thought it out that far. Our real reasoning was simply to clearly delineate the screenshots from the rest…

Excellent point and this is certainly a feature that we are tweaking the dials on. We've currently landed on a solution where a reply comes in as the latest item (in chronological order) with a refere…

Thanks! Our biggest issue that got us headed this direction was how many times we'd use chat to decide something... and then separately need to track those decisions (spreadsheets, project management …

Thanks for asking these questions. I gave myself a head smack for not including some of this info on the page itself. I'll add in, but answer here: 1. Absolutely runs in a browser and we're doing all …

This runs as a FireFox browser extension, which is pretty neat. Once the .xpi file downloads, simply drag it into a tab of FireFox and you're off and running.

I think Jobs' real genius was actually assembling teams. He was extremely visionary, but he was also amazing at inspiring top-level talent. I think entirely writing off Apple's ability to innovate or …
