I was an early Airbnb adopter, but haven't used it in years...curious what types of travel people use Airbnb for these days? For business, I would never use it - I need reliability…

I've had Wavians for a couple years. In our lake community, we get compliments about our gas cans. It's amazing how people respond when you build something well.

Startups win on creating efficiency: saving time and/or money. Compare that to a hobby, almost the entire point of which is to consume time and money... Wedding planning feels more…

Safari's autosuggest of the numeric code from 2FA text messages is outstanding. I don't hear anyone talk about this feature, but I could never live without it. I use 2FA for every …

I just bought one because Apple didn't refresh the MBP. It is nice - maybe I need to get used to it, but it's not a MBP. Continuity between my phone for everything - iMessage, clip…

As an Atlanta resident, I find it a terrible place to visit but a great place to live. Great cities have (1) cool places to visit; and (2) lots of hidden gems - parks, restaurants,…

My guess is that Amazon will want to effectively "own" whatever city it selects. Not only will they get incentives from government, but they'll want to have primary influence over …

I joined for about six months and dropped them last week. Third shipment in a row with missing ingredients. On the plus side, it put me in the regular habit of cooking together wit…

It seems every startup confronts the linked challenges of picking a name and accompanying domain. ICANN's domain registration rules and fee structure encourage speculation, making …

Please take a moment to notice how horribly unfriendly a deposition transcript is. Thousands of these documents are produced every day, in a proprietary format that is antiquated a…

Related, there's an iOS app called Mealboard which lets you plan out recipes for the week/month/etc. We've started using it all the time, mostly because it has an amazing in-app br…

Cooking involves 3 steps: (1) recipe selection, (2) ingredient acquisition, and (3) cooking. Blue Apron takes care of the first two, which I don't enjoy, and let's me do (3), which…

Most DMSes utilize a "check-in/check-out" process, meaning that only one person can work the document. Others can work on "copies," but there is no way to sync their changes back i…

Non-competes are tricky: they essentially try to extend trade secret protections to information that people know (which is hard to track), instead of information that's written dow…

Same. As an example of how Google enriches lives, my mom (age 66) just sent an amazing video of photos and video clips from the first year of my son's life, set to an amazing score…

Agreed - I watch everything over Xbox since it streams audio to my headphones. Finding apps consistently took me weeks to figure out. The other problem is that there is no unified …

I was in Charleston this weekend. On East Bay Street, I was connected to a driver who was 11 minutes away and had another fare. I canceled immediately and tried Lyft. After agreein…

Uber reached its current success with a first mover advantage. But I think the real reason is that everyone building self-driving cars today - including the big car manufacturers -…

There is a reason that safeguards like attorney-client, priest-penitent, and spousal privilege exist. For most of civilization, these are the people with whom we entrust our deepes…

How do you avoid the issue that home cleaning companies encountered? Namely, once they use your service to create a relationship, the customer can contact the mechanic directly and…

Exactly this. You are just abstracting the decision about "truth" to another set of observers. Every crowdsourced news aggregation site faces the same challenge, too. Digg had seri…

Getting in front a jury means surviving summary judgment. A good contract is designed to allow any disputes be resolved at the summary judgment stage. It's been a while since I've …
