Due to what then?

It's just matter of personal preferences. I find it step backward. But maybe it's more aesthetic issue than UX. As I said - subjective opinion.

I would personally add iOS7 to the list.

Exactly. I was just going to raise the same issue as #1.

From freelancer/agency point of view: why are we supposed to charge less only because we have skills to do things faster?

From client point of view: what's their motivation to do things as fast as they can? I'm paying them for each and every hour anyway so why would they rush?

Sounds similar to all other "fast reading" methods I've seen before (which is nothing wrong, they all work). The thing is - I've never stumble upon method designed specifically for reading from computer screen. I find it significantly more difficult and uncomfortable than reading from paper.

If Instagram was worth it Waze should cost 10x more at least.

Congrats on reaching critical mass already!

I wonder about those 3rd party developers: what's the incentive for them to include pressureNET in their apps?

Perfect, but how do we upload those already collected 300GB raw data there ...

Nice project. Can you elaborate more on your plans how to achieve the necessary scale? How do you drive traffic and installs to the app?

But if your 1.1x result is not confident in reality it could perform 1.1x worst. In my opinion in this situation you're just guessing.

btbilly: I read your article but before I digg into the math and try to understand it - can you please take a look at the tool I use now http://mystatscalc.com and see 1) how it might work 2) do you think it's giving correct results?

Waiting for rest from the series!

"And yet, SurveyMonkey [...] has two reasons for raising capital. One is to reward the investment firms, Spectrum Equity and Bain Capital, that bought the company just over four years ago, when it was about a fourth its current size. The other is the perennial tech-industry rationale for an IPO: so SurveyMonkey's employees can sell some of the stock that is a significant portion of their compensation."

Honestly, for me as an occasional stock investor that sounds like a serious warning signal. Why should I invest in a company that does IPO only for some people to do exits? (which was exactly the reason FB did IPO) Stock investors are looking for growth potential. It's just a conflict of interest.

Maybe it is not, but if it's one-click and time saving people would pay for it. For the same reason they pay for things like soccer match results via SMS or $0.99 shopping list app for their iPhone.

It doesn't make this product less worth executing by 37s right? What's wrong about bootstraping your next product by previous one?

I just found Pentaho few days ago and we plan to use it for BI on our huge mongo db data set. Any hints you could provide?

My question was more ... well, just a question. I was hoping somebody will either confirm that or deny.

He didn't manage to get a single advertiser right?

I used to brew in aeropress but I switched to Chemex recently. You need like 30g of moderately-coarse grind coffee to make 0.5l coffee so it's good if you have some decent grinder (I use Ascaso i-2 mini). It's also good if you can pour water precisely - I use hario buono kettle.

I hope divvy is not affected by this. They are using X11 API.

Very nice. But the concept is not new. Don't you remember Kad/Kademlia network which was introduced together with eDonkey/eMule and invented back in 2002?

It didn't get any traction then but it was completely decentralized (based on distributed hash tables).

The answer to your question is: no, it's not possible. I was rather thinking about dropbox implementing the same feature directly to dropbox. If they do, there would be no point in using denishennessy's product.

Well, if you did not quit your job to do this project and did not spend all your savings on it - the risk might be worth it. Good luck! :)

That's interesting. It's similar technique to all those iphone apps/games that ask you to rate them in appstore after playing for a while.

Did you measure the conversion rate of this rollover (that's how I call that stuff on websites)? How many people actually use it among those who seen it? And maybe what percent of people exits your game when you show them the rollover?

I would really like to see some numbers :)

The problem is real, you are not the only person on the Earth that needs a solution, but ...

Aren't you worried that it takes few weeks(days?) of coding for dropbox team and one update for your solution to become obsolete?

You're probably right. Now I recall reading about kernel.org being hacked.

I knew I could count on you jwr :) What might be better way to find out how big PL community on HN is?

Hello. Opole here.

Of course it does. If you speak Polish it does even more.

Didn't knew about this one. Thanks.

Don't you think google threats porn/sex sites kinda different than others? I bet non-porn sites rank better for non-porn keywords than porn sites ('sex' is not necessarily porn keyword). And there is nothing porn SEO experts can do about it.
