Can we get that in Weissman Score? ;)

Yep. Apple have released many apps after similar ones had success on the AppStore. They have much much harsher ToS (and enforce them) than the discussed Twitter ones.

I actually think they've been very clear on this from the beginning, including the reason why (although it wasn't spelled out). They've always meant apps that offer more or less th…

I think J-1 would be the most legally correct (IANAL and all but I have some J-1 experience). YC should be able to bring founders on board. Since J-1 is for education and the progr…

He links to Visual Website Optimizer[1] as the A/B testing tool he will use. I haven't used VWO personally but based on their features page it's a point-and-click to change some vi…

"wiggle room": Username limit was 20 characters (or something like that). 20 for username, 140 for message.

I see a lot of (rightfully) upset comments but this doesn't really come as a surprise to me given that Twitter (and others like FB, GOOG, ad networks) already track websites you vi…

"just" a browser with a lot of native technology baked in to enhance the experience. Playlist caching for one.

A drone could detect loss of communication with the pocket device (snow or falling into the ocean should be enough to do that) and start some recovery/emergency sequence. E.g. stop…

EDIT: I found better documentation on this. Some US states require ID. > The person approached is not required to identify himself or answer any other questions, and may leave at a…

Maybe the problem is the length of countdown timers? I don't know how they are determined and set but anecdotally I often see 10 seconds or sometimes others in excess of 15s or eve…

I applaud your courage to stand up to that but I don't know about following the advice after reading "i do often end up in court with cops over a lot of things, this included"... C…

I agree with the advice above, and adding on to it, as a founder... If the case is morally and ethically sound then I wouldn't hold it against you, probably applaud you. On the con…

I've used some toolbar applications for this for years. The current one I use is Go2Shell: https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/go2shell/id445770608?l=en&mt... But Cmd+T seems much easi…

Seems really cool but I felt my internal warning sign go off when I see the team is mostly comprised of marketers/managers/growth. Three engineers in an eight person team. It can s…

Maybe allowing users to have multiple API tokens, that way you have one for IFTTT and another for each service you set up. Gmail does something similar to this btw. Although I agre…
