Thanks for building this, Tobi and Alexis! Been a happy user since the first alpha!

Very cool product, please keep at it. Feedback: scrolling feels tedious. Please allow holding space key + mouse click and drag to move around the board (similar to how most design tools handle this).

We did this at Loom (W12) and it was one of the most powerful things we could have done as a team. Internal comms became much more streamlined as a result and it was usually apparent to everyone what we needed to work on next.
A quote from an article on the Verge says "Musk declined to comment on the exact cost of the trip, but said it was “comparable” or a little more than the cost of a crewed mission to the International Space Station."

Does anyone have a rough estimate how much a manned mission to the ISS currently costs?

Re:Justice Department says it will end use of private prisons on Thursday August 18, 2016 @01:10PM (#12314351)
Good start! I just wish this change would be happening for the right reasons, e.g. that privately held prisons are creating a false incentive, an incentive to be more profitable by having more prisoners and thus the creation of a lobby for such thing.

This argument sounds a lot like blackberry vs iPhone to me tbh. I frequently use tablets and yet setting brush size was never great, hot keys being the blackberry. I am very excited about this device, which feels like the right next step, the iPhone.

Fair enough. They are cold or better 'neutral'. I'd take cold and neutral any time over judgmental and degrading.

I am one of the lucky ones as well and have been treated with respect every time. Sometimes I even had insightful conversations with border control.

However, along the increasing rejections of visa for highly talented people + more and more stories like this one are signaling a very very bad trend.

I have noticed both among my peers: visa rejections for founders with funding from US investors, befriended founders who are being pulled into second screening every time they enter the country, my co-founder being rejected to enter the country once and now also being pulled into second screening every time (despite having an O1 visa). It's degrading and simply horrifying. And most definitely not a good trend for the US.

This is a very emotional topic. I get sad and angry every time I read or hear a similar story.

I cannot speak for Russia, but Germany cultivates a fundamental mentality of liberalism and respect, for any kind. It will be very difficult to find someone in Germany that wears a badge who has less than 13 years of school education or acts unreasonably, disrespectful or doesn't play by the rules.
Good point. We thought about this as well, however solving this bug this way we wouldn't be able to continue background uploads every time the iOS7 'reboot' bug had occurred, which was fairly often.

It's a trade-off between user experience and security. As soon as Apple fixes the reboot issue, we'll increase the security level back to kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock.

Nice one, you guys are just smarter than us :)

If we had known that the bug was caused by reboots though, we probably would have saved some gas as well.

It's an opt-in feature, well described in the app and per default turned off. We are however implementing the new iOS7 background uploading processes as well.
Hi, co-founder of Loom here. Thanks for the feedback.

The reason Loom saves space compared with iCloud is that Loom stores your original photos entirely in the cloud, and not on your device. Loom caches smaller versions of these originals on your phone for fast browsing, organizing, and sharing, and then you can quickly access the originals if you choose.

Everpix is a great service and more affordable than Loom, but the main difference between Loom and Everpix is that we store your files in their original size and resolution, untouched, so if you ever need them, you can get them. Additionally, Loom supports RAW and video uploads.
