I don't want to be overly dismissive -- I'm sure this is a huge engineering achievement -- but I just don't get it. A mobile phone, where battery life is precious and a big differe…

Sweet! I don't think I'll be able to use it until it supports React/ES6, but the debugging features look awesome!

It's not just unsubscribe. They let you turn off emails for an hour, a day, etc. Really convenient if you're generally interested in notifications, but just need a little break. An…

My favorite thing about Slack is how they've thought of all the little things. My go-to example is that when they send you a notification email, it includes links to silence furthe…

I think this completely misses the point. The "magic" part of Magic isn't that it's over text -- that's just an implementation detail. Rather, the value is that it navigates all th…

I think that's kind of the point. He doesn't look like an actor -- he's an everyman.

Yup! He's the guy behind Sandwich Video, which makes a ton of ads for startups: http://sandwichvideo.com/

If you watch the video in the post, the demo is surprisingly accurate.

17. At least in my social circles, it's polite to respond to texts (and Facebook messages) within a couple hours. Texting definitely carries more expectations than email (for examp…

I don't think anyone has mentioned this: in my mind, the whole point of calling a business is getting an immediate response. Most of us are conditioned to treat text as a fundament…

Seconded. Most of my late-night travel is completely unplanned -- I can't imagine scheduling a 4:00 AM trip the day before.

(shoutout to Dave Fontenot in particular)

If they're already logged into Facebook/Twitter, they don't have to type a single thing -- they just hit the "Accept" button and they're done.

I'm scared this will mean rampant cheating. What's to prevent an early-stage startup from masquerading as a hack and getting a "fast-tracked" interview? I know this is a problem fo…

The way I see it, every single app that uses email for password resets (usually by emailing a link, sometimes a code) already relies on the security of email. Even if you have the …

I can't speak for dang, but if you didn't ask for votes, I don't think you violated netiquette at all.

A voting ring is a group of people that all upvote each other's posts. But most of the time, it lacks that level of organization -- usually, ring-voting just refers to having all y…

Saw you demo this at the hackathon session at CPW! Really, really cool.

There are a bunch of comments about rolling your own scraper instead of relying upon a possibly unreliable SaaS app. That makes me think -- would it be viable to run a service that…

I'm a big fan of http://learnyouahaskell.com/

That brings up an interesting question. At what point does a modified file no longer fall under copyright? If I had a copyrighted ebook and changed a single "o" to "0" I bet I coul…

I'm a huge fan of Braces ( http://braces.io/ ). It solves the how-do-I-get-my-site-files served problem perfectly. But I'm also a huge fan of Dropbox sharing, and it's sad that I c…

Here are my current Dropbox pet peeves: - You can't share an arbitrary folder with someone, only a top-level one - You can't share app folders - App folders are buried in the Apps …

Can anyone speak to the difference in approach between Blaze and React? Or are they doing essentially the same thing? At first glance, this seems much better in terms of programmer…
