I love the built in pomodoro timer and the intentional goal setting

I love this idea! I have used Flow Club a lot and this would keep me even more accountable.

So this was something built internally inside a VC firm and then opensourced?

Google Photos and Google Maps are underrated in terms of future potential for Google's business

Whoever set this up should have taken Introduction to Web Security first

+1 love to see companies with innovative interview process that go beyond standard tech interviews and really try get to know applicants. I chose an internship one summer just because I enjoyed the interview process so much.

+1 Can also confirm the ease of development for us (Playbook HR) and the joy of working with Jonathan and Daniel

Does ElementaryOS run better than Ubuntu on it?

Actually zimride got sold to enterprise. Maybe they needed to build out the two-sides of the marketplace before being able to actually do "ride-sharing"

Incognito can still capture your location which will affect the ranking: http://imgur.com/7O04wwl

There are a lot of others like fluc and non bay-area ones like orderup, favor, WunWun, kanga

I agree. I wouldn't consider online learning neglected. The article mentions vowpal rabbit which is being used at Microsoft

The justin.tv/twitch/socialcam founders sold their first startup's site (kiko - the first AJAX calendar) on ebay once it failed. The ending bid was over $250,000. Not sure if ebay is the best place for this but it is an interesting story. Flippa, as mentioned by someone else, also fills this role.

I love usemin. It is really simple and works perfect for my workflow. In development, it allows me to have all my js and css files referenced normally. In my build process, usemin concats all the js and css files, minifies them, and replaces the references to them to the minified concatenated resource. You don't have to have any script running watching your files for changes or anything like that.

+1 for webstorm. Very powerful IDE especially if your backend is node

The experiments data was the most interesting thing I found. I am in the treatment of an experiment involving driver referral emails

Since Bing is only 5 years old, I would consider losses 2 years ago to still be early. Also, reported numbers were usually on Microsoft Online Services Division as a whole which included other money losing businesses like MSN

I think you are confusing revenue and profit. The profit was down but that was mostly due to the acquisition of Nokia

Revenue is actually up

This is the not the case anymore. A lot of the early loses were necessary investments to establish the infrastructure needed to compete with google in search.

I don't feel comfortable giving my amazon login credentials like a lot of people here. I think Unioncy (https://unioncy.com/) has an interesting solution to this. They parse your emails for amazon receipts to figure out your amazon purchases.

I like the philosophy here of "Move fast, optimize later". It is faster even if it isn't perfect for golang

This is also interesting from the cloud storage perspective. Amazon is slowly making personal cloud storage almost irrelevant by providing all these subscription streaming services. You don't event have to digitally own something anymore you just rent it and stream it from the cloud. No need to back up the majority of the files you have.

I think there is something to be said about the environmental impacts of ownership. As much as we love to own things, it isn't sustainable for the environment.

Or the rapgenius fiasco

The ethos of the redesign is more important than the redesign itself. The new logo is more than airbnb's take on the hobo code. It is an attempt to move beyond being a commodity and into a brand people can aspire to.

Great work! Also great to see more of the node community adopting semantic versioning

Salesforce must have been getting scared

Background checks are already pretty standard in the sharing economy

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
