the point is that you have to be together to unlock the photos. It's not that you're sharing photos locally, as seems to be your issue with the app.

I don't think it should be about skipping the (or one of) the hard parts. It should be about guidance through it and helping founders understand how to read the signals coming in. …

Caltrain is already over capacity at peak times. I agree that there needs to be more accommodation near public transport, but I think they'd be better off building more public tran…

yeah, what's the point of sailing solo around the world in 100 days when you can do the same trip by plane in just a couple of days!

> complaints over the app are a muted form of natural selection. that's not true. we uninstall and don't use the app. Remember Facebook •Camera? That has exited the gene pool. > Al…

I think there are probably more efficient ways you can get to making an interesting piece of software. Building on the work of others, maybe?

I'm wondering the same. Coming from the UK, home delivery for groceries is old news. Is it the geographical size of the US that's making this a harder problem over here (US)?

Did you know there are over 150 varieties of Finches? Each slightly different, maybe color difference or a larger beak or bigger wingspan. They came about by iterating on the Finch…

I believe Apple is sending out the wrong signal about driving+other activities at the same time. Sure, people have already picked up bad habits, but that makes it ok to encourage t…

In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver. 3,267 in 2010. [1] When you say "This reduces distraction." you mean compared to holding the phone and d…

sounds great. Any chance of a quick how-to? I'm a male and I've never negotiated a salary either.

jig also springs to mind and this answer on Quora about why it didn't take off is pretty good http://www.quora.com/Startups/Why-didnt-vark-com-or-jig-com-...

When bitcoins are lost, are they lost forever? So the total pool of bitcoins will be 21m - your 160 and his 7000?

Open Sans has plenty of weights to choose from, I don't think you should write off the whole font! http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans

These "phones" make such huge difference to my life that I can't imagine not discussing them. I just moved to san francisco from UK. I have never been here before. Using my phone I…

you also have to consider that rushing through the trial stages can cause mistakes which leads to the treatment looking like it's ineffective. When this happens, it loses funding a…

This is what it seems like to our generation (I'm guessing you're 25+). By the time current 12 year olds are old enough to buy art, buying it online will seem totally normal. ~2006…

I think you might be confusing it with something else. It's pretty much in every app http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html

How do you find out which are the great programmers? I'll look up John Resig, thanks.

That's partly why I release an open source plugin for jQuery, hoping others might pick it up and suggest improvements.

I recently release my first bit of open source code. Nothing major, a jQuery gallery plugin. The problem is I have no idea how "good" it is in code terms. I'm not a developer by tr…

I agree completely, other than calling them rare exceptions. You can't quantify the rarity of these opportunities until you know how big the gap is between your current knowledge a…

That depends on how you class "for free". Most people think free = not being paid money. I'm actually looking into working for the whole of July for no monetary compensation. But i…
