Shameless plug, but we have a podcast around commercial real estate investing, a very popular investment type for passive income generation. We really have a big education focus:

Any good replacement recommendations?
Regardless of the platform, if you are considering direct real estate investment (versus a REIT), the most important thing you can do is educate yourself. Direct real estate investing can get very complicated very quickly: You have to potentially evaluate the sponsor/real estate company, the surrounding market, the assumptions being made that lead to the target returns, etc. Unfortunately, most "educational" material you find is really focused on the idea of "getting rich quick" versus real education. I'll shamelessly plug our podcast (https://www.realcrowd.com/blog/tags/podcast/). While we are a direct marketplace, we strive to make our educational material, including our podcast unbiased education and not a commercial for our platform. We have received a lot of great feedback.

You aren't wrong. I will say I do still find myself surprised that many sites don't test cross browser and I find that these frameworks can alleviate that.
Re:A Parliament of Owls on Thursday May 18, 2017 @03:18PM (#14370215)
Is it wrong that I completely stopped reading after the first line:

"Humans have always noticed owls."

And internally I went "Really. 'Always'?!?"

No Semantic-UI? (http://semantic-ui.com/) I haven't used directly but was thinking about experimenting with it based on the docs.

"Release Candidate"...that is a candidate for release. first words of article "It’s not yet stable...". Not trying to troll, but come on
I think you should leave the business. You have made a decision which could irreparably harm it. If both you and the girlfriend truly care about the business, you'll both sign "i won't sue" resignations and do whatever your friend needs to help the transition.

There is no trust in the co-founder relationship now and you've made bad decisions for the company. I do no think you can successfully carry on especially if this is a small company.

As for your friendship, I can only wish you luck. I don't believe I could accept this kind of betrayal but everyone is different.

Re:Why Apple Should Kill Off the Mac on Monday June 15, 2015 @11:20AM (#9719874)
I just want some computer company to focus on power users. I know its a relatively smaller market, but if someone (Apple, Dell, Lenovo, etc.) focused on high quality hardware and software that "just worked" for power users and less focused on the consumer-y features, that would be awesome. Macs have a great build quality but the OS seems less focused on improving the experience than assimilating you into their ecosystem (this is true for Microsoft and Google as well). Every new feature involves creating an account to more tightly couple you to the respective company. I get this strategy but would love to see someone concentrating more on the overall experience than locking me into _their_ world.
The app isn't signed for OSX. You have to adjust security settings to install. :/

I played with SMS, SMS reply, and MMS. All worked well and as expected (I used a Google-Voice account for testing). Probably one of the easiest out-of-band login solutions I've used. For SMS a "link-or-reply" feature would be nice. Depending on the particular use-case it might be easier for me to press a link in the message versus typing something. Also perhaps eventually an app (swiping notification is enough to complete login)
