What is the recommended screening frequency ?

To me it sounds like there are several startup opportunities there.

How would a solution to each of those for airbnb look like?

Cool!

btw there's a small bug on the storage part of the pricing plan calculation. It shows 5,525 GB units but then the calculation is for 10,100 units.

We use Clojure at Nubank.

We’re actively hiring Clojure devs or we can teach those who don’t know it yet.

We’re very happy with it.

Don Tempelton's Sales Ready Product concept [1] (adopted by Sequoia), especially the ideas around MVP vs. SRP [2] were very useful to me.

Summary

To transform your product into a Sales Ready Product, you need:

- Unified Engineering, Product, Design and Sales teams

- First-hand customer research

- An inventory of customer objections

- Understanding of what matters most to customers (and what you can ignore)

- A qualification list (and the right initial customers)

- A demo that uses data from the prospect and includes a light switch moment

- Standardized and unified sales training and materials

Thank you :)

A not for profit ride sharing platform, in the spirit of ghost.org .

Self driving cars are still years ahead, besides that, humans will still be needed for other kinds of gigs for some time.

That sounds like anti competitive pricing all over again. Bundling Windows with a cloud subscription. Will it call for anti-trust action?

Having it plugged into a security camera would be amazing though. It could alert you when your dog is bored and wants to go out to play for example :) or if it's feeling sick and needs to go to the vet :(

Why not position it as an accident avoidance system?

Most accidents occur due to distracted drivers. A self braking car preventing drivers from rear ending other cars can easily be justified as a good investment. Having something like this to "upgrade" any car to a better safety system makes more sense to me from a marketing standpoint.

Which bootcamps do you consider to be top tier?

Maybe it's the easiest noise to make with a closed mouth?

For an average of 7 rides/day ~7 years, 20 rides/day ~3 years. Assuming the car is working daily.

Ricardo Semler's is indeed a true visionary, he started applying the principles of democracy and trust to industrial production decades ago, his first book Maverick[1] was written in 1995, it is full of interesting anecdotes on how he implemented his ideas in his father's business. I find his methods very similar to what is now being called Holocracy [2].

Is your site www.flymaids.com ? Seems to be down, getting a Heroku no such app error.

when i first read Saramago [1], i was impressed how he wrote with no punctuation or even capital letters, and how enjoyable and easy to read it was, it was definitely a breath of fresh air, only a few times it was hard to follow the story, mainly on dialogues i sometimes got lost who was saying what, overall his writing style made reading his novels a lot of fun, my feeling was more like listening to someone tell me a story directly, rather than having to get hold of the rhythm and style of the writer.

"There are studies" Could you please share some links? we've been working remotely more and more and i'm very curious about the findings.

This reminds me of FriendFeed´s Schemaless MySQL.

They were acquired by FB.

I'm colorblind and some links on the documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ don't look different enough from normal text. Mostly I'm having a hard time identifying links that aren't underlined.

This is the github link of the project: https://github.com/DemocracyOS/app

The initial implementation seems to be around discussing bills.

From the FAQ: "citizens can present projects to be debated, and representative present for debate those bills currently in debate in Congress. DemocracyOS has three basic actions: "get informed," "join the conversation," and "vote.""

How can an identified user remain safe? How can anonymous users be trusted?

On a side note: Is there any reason they ommited the Baja Peninsula? it's a big part of Mexico ...

Why isn´t it on Kindle? For overseas customers it´s not always ideal to have to pay for shipping.
