As a Midwestern suburbanite, I don't think I understand this service. When it comes to trash removal, the city already comes around once per week and collects whatever I put out th…

Similar announcements from Gates, Buffet, and Zuckerberg have gotten significant press over the past few years. Is this kind of philanthropy new, or is it traditional to see some o…

After reading it, I actually went looking for a date hoping it was written before the Echo announcement and was a wonderful coincidence. On a side note, having to hover over the ti…

Backblaze is $5/month (per machine) and let's you grab single files (or directories) from your backup if you want.

I found the use of slightly different shades of the same color to differentiate data bars to be incredibly frustrating, which made me assume this was written by a marketer and not …

The one thing they're not making any more of in this world is land. Huge portions of the US remain undeveloped or under-developed. Land isn't really in as short of supply as some w…

As a small team (1 - 10), I would be willing to pay in the neighborhood of $5/user/month. Once we get up to $50/month, I'd like to see volume discounts. I can't imagine I'd ever pa…

This is purely anecdotal as I don't have real numbers to back it up, but it seems to me like every airline has been on the edge of going out of business for as long as I can rememb…

Because reclining the chair is using it in a predictable way and as it was intended to be used. It's a bit like laying your laptop in the middle of the freeway and then claiming pe…

Liability would almost certainly be yours alone. The passenger who reclined their seat was using the seat as it was intended, so there is no offense there. The airline would likely…

I saw his one-man show when it came to town about a year ago. After watching him alone on stage for 90 minutes, I have no doubt that he is still "with it" enough to not only compre…

I think you're describing a sales guy versus a programmer. In my experience, "businesses guys" are actually professional bullshit detectors. It's one of the reasons you want them i…

"...just 'cause the owner was still staying there." Honestly, my favorite part of a hotel is not having to share a living space with a stranger.

How many days of vacation did you personally take in the past year?

For-pay services have an incentive not to do something with my data that upsets me enough to leave. Let's say an advertising company offers eTrade 50-cents for info on every trade …

This looks really cool but I couldn't shake that feeling of, "If you're not paying for it, you're the product." I didn't feel any better about that when I saw that Google was one o…

"And abhor even more the money spent on college football (e.g., the budget for our university library was being slashed so much that frequently used journals were having their subs…

"Football/basketball players are paid obscene amounts of money, while what they do does not have any real value." Serious question: Do you consider entertainment to have a real val…

"Never trust anyone over 30" is a bit of a rallying cry among musicians. It's often attributed Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jerry Rubin and a few others during the 1960's, but I'm not s…

"A college kid would never have come up with what I'm building, because they wouldn't realize the problem I'm trying to solve actually exists." This is such a key point. Sometimes …

These days I bill like a lawyer: Up to two hours free of charge as a consultation and then the clock starts at my full rate. If you're not OK with that, you don't value my time eno…
