Right, the original article by Priceonomics was submitted weeks ago. This is a follow up by NPR that included an interview with Priceonomics' Rohin Dhar and some other interviews i…

I dont think this article is comparing apples to apples. There are no single family homes to be had in most of manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. I'm living in pacific heights now an…

I had two friends who regularly hosted on couchsurfing in the early 2000's when it wasn't that popular yet. I thought at that time it was insane for two young girls to host random …

I think a really nice feature would be to let me send some voice feedback to MYSELf instead of to you guys, so I can test it. I wanted to test it but not necessarily send you feedb…

Great job guys. I've tried in vain to use google docs on my iPad when I was doing wedding planning. This is a killer app.

That's an amazing video, really made me want to plan a camping trip. I love the ability to integrate photos and video in my spreadsheet. Will I be able to share a read-only link to…

With our current understanding of physics, it doesn't seem possible but the key word is current . Scientists recently measured particles going faster than the speed of light. Grant…

Check out my version of a Blurblog, I styled it a little differently: http://roy.newsblur.com On the roadmap, theming and letting people really make their Blurblog their own. Full …

I don't agree with the assessment that NYC startups are more "smoke and mirrors". I will concede that there seems to be more of an engineering culture in SV and more of a design cu…

Love the ability to download the trip so I can add it to my own site.

That's going to be a tough one. Are you technical yourself? Are you looking for free collaborators or willing to pay? I'd start with going to some meetups just to get more exposure…

After playing around with it some more, it's working. Question, are you going to introduce REGEX or any other rules or even some helper functions to further process the API? That w…

Looks interesting. I just tried to scrap a sample API but got an error with no further information on why it was broken: http://apify.heroku.com/resources/4fca83088526fe000100011a/…

I think this is a great way to use technology. I think that there is a great opportunity for using game dynamics to get kids excited about nutrition in a way that abstracts out the…

+1 for SASS and especially Compass, if you know CSS well, the learning curve is essentially flat and the dividends are enormous.

My main concern with crowdfunding is the level of protecting the crowd gets. Assuming that startups and founders do align their interests with the crowd, how and where does the cro…

Beyond the privacy implications, I wonder if the technology actually works. I'd be amazed if it's accuracy was even higher than 50% but I guess this kind of tech has probably been …

I, for better or worse, decided to invest some of my dollars in Facebook. Like many others, I received radio silence about my trade. At EOD, I got a call from my brokerage, Fidelit…

1) So after I signed up to host or join, it's really a waiting game until the 15th, right? Is there a way to make it stickier that would encourage me to come back? Some kind of gam…

Overall I like it. I do agree that hosting it at your house is going to be a big barrier of entry. I WOULD do a dinner with random people but NOT in my house! Also after I signed u…

I find that for most of my projects lately, we focus on HTML5 and there is less emphasis on supporting legacy browsers. The outcome is less of a reliance on jQ to abstract out brow…
