What are some of the most important lessons you learned in building out Rainforest as a self-serve freemium product after building Rainforest as a more enterprise-focused product to start?

"The opposite of Science isn't Girl."

So good.

A lot of big announcements at once from MS. Free Office, new Band, and did you see they're opening the Azure ML for free testing?

Queue up the Qs.

Yeah, I can see your point, to say that it's a "twitter problem" for leaving that door open.

Pretty good. I think Larry Gornick's The Cartoon Guide to Calculus[0] is better. Has a lot of narrative elements as well.

B&N is embedded in all the college bookstores and has solid pipelines there. I think right now their ebook focus is on developing their e-textbook rental program.

They've got an edge there that Amazon can't hit too hard.

I think they are people problems.

Everyone likes being right + feeling important. Everyone is lazy. No one wants to be called out on it.

If you are forced to keep it <140 char then no one can fault you for being lazy with your replies and critiques. Of course people are going to jump in and offer their brilliant opinions. Think about the low-cost high they can get.

On that note, we cry out in rage when a for-profit does some money-grabbing evil, but we also get our feathers all ruffled when a company for social good wants to be for-profit.

If we don't want corporations to make money by being evil, shouldn't we want them to make money by being good?

HTML5 is a living standard, no? There isn't going to be an "HTML6".

Well, if google adds 20+ years to the avg life span, the whole insurance industry will need a massive revamp to keep up (already needed, IMHO).

I wonder what the actuaries think of this product.
