I've been using them in SF and it's a nice perk to not have to worry about filling up. The bigger perk is just having someone more diligent than myself checking all the stuff I let…

aaaaaaand it's not on the App Store

My guess is sellers absorb this as a cost of doing business. As long as fraud rates remain in low single digit percentage, it's probably not worth it for the seller or Amazon to fi…

Great Snowden interview (by Neil deGrasse Tyson) where he explains why collecting "only metadata" is no excuse: https://soundcloud.com/startalk/a-conversation-with-edward-s...

Agreed, the best thing you can do is Google "_____ product review" and look for credible reviewers, someone with a reputation to protect. I worked with a product company where v1 h…

Indeed I know it's a close-knit community. Most of our 20-person team came from anti-fraud teams at Google. I'm guessing the "silliness" you're referring to is the talk of Facebook…

The professionalization of the peer-to-peer space is getting incredibly interesting. Hotels must be realizing that hosts are starting to offer places that are essentially like hote…

Interesting idea, this is the first virtual hackathon I've ever seen. Wonder if this is the first time someone's ever tried this. Could be huge

I'm really sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the tank. We can set you up with some suppliers in Europe that you might not have tried yet. The jellies definitel…

We started the company on volusion but have since switched to Get Fwd ( http://getfwd.com/ ) because we had to customize order and fulfillment logic due to the time sensitive natur…

I'm a big environmentalist and supporter of animal rights. I originally wanted to be a marine biologist when I graduated college. But I don't think keeping jellyfish in captivity i…

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of AutoMicroFarm. I hope it's going well. Indeed it's a small business, but all our development effort is going towards breeding jellies in a scalable manne…

Thanks for bringing the concept of velocity to attention. I'd been looking for a metric just like this to compare Bitcoin to other currencies. It would be interesting now to compar…

I just finished living the van life while running a company for two months. My goal was to wake up with a new view (and sunrise if I was ambitious) every morning and there are some…
