this is neat, nice to see people experimenting in this space.

looks good, I'll have to try it out. Chrome has been acting up for me lately.

I used this service while I was in Israel, and it's really amazing. CUPS pays the coffeeshops for each cup you consume, so the shops treat you like a real customer, not like a "groupon" customer. Honestly the biggest benefit is the spontaneity of it all "should I get coffee? eh fuck it why not."

Honestly I think this is promising. The format is not "shady" or disruptive, and the company seems to have a good understanding that adds done poorly can be damaging.

it was fine as long as nobody noticed. They didn't stick to their guns once he was at the top.

This is just sad. Brendan was bullied for his personally help views that never once affected a working relationship he had with a colleague. This is the inventor of javascript does he not deserve some respect?

How long has blackberry been circling the drain? Feels like an eternity.

This seems similar to Google's tablet/phone strategy taken to it's natural extreme. This makes me wonder if google will soon do something similar with the (currently separate) Chrome/Android ecosystem.

Regardless the the somewhat deceptive title, this is still an impressive collection of stats. The full study does a great job of explaining how the tech economy is also good for the traditional economy and those without technical backgrounds as well. Some of the anti-tech set in SF could stand to learn from it.

Has anybody tried this? Thoughts? How well does windows compatibility work IRL?

Seems a bit obsessed with terminology. Also many of the points in this post seem difficult to achieve especially for a company with a focus on "shipping" example: "Freedom:

Freedom to pick when and where they work. How they work and on what they work on. Tethering people down and expecting them not to behave like a lion taken from the wild and stuck in a cage. Just as the lion will begin to mindlessly graze around their cage staring at the window wishing they were free your employees will graze mindlessly around the office and stare and videos on youtube wishing they were free to."

This is hopelessly optimistic, if you're on a deadline sometimes you need people in one place.

This reminds me of this article in The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/03/hey-pare... We might finally have some reversion from this awful "safety" obsessed parenting trend.

I don't think I've ever seen an editorial that was this far off from the truth before.

I really have to disagree with marco on this one. Infrastructure investment isn't free, and in order to align incentives toward more investment and not less, we need to start implementing metered usage. This would lower the cost of internet access for 95% of people by limited the subsidy to the top 5% of bandwidth consumers.

This is a joke. If anything this incident demonstrates bitcoin's resiliency. The drop in value has not been catastrophic, and other exchanges seem to have done a find job of picking up the slack. I think security is going to be a persistent issue for bitcoin, but once bitcoin services become more sophisticated will fade as an issue over time.

if the web primarily became a data-layer for mostly native apps would that really be such a bad thing?

this is awesome, but it would be really sick if there was a sidebar with the list of posts in a given sub.

“If you allow someone to come into the market with no overhead, that's an unfair advantage” hmmm isn't that the whole point of markets? time for some creative destruction in car dealer land.

I'm worried that Moto might find itself in HTC's shoes: Making truly great phones that nobody buys anyway.

foursquare switched to OSM last year after google changed its maps API pricing: http://blog.foursquare.com/2012/02/29/foursquare-is-joining-...
