I'm really glad that you pushed out this app, I was looking for something like this. On the other hand, I'm really curious about how you'll make money. I signed up, but if you were asking for some money (either monthly or app purchase fee), I'd feel more secure.
I don't know if there is any RemindMe! bot in HN, but it would definitely be useful in this scenario.
If it was a web app, you'd need to install it, probably with a database for settings, etc., which would invalidate their security claims.
Even though this is better than the lack of it, I find it weird that they're not using Contextual MAB and instead just went with the MAB. You've got the preference of your users anyhow, why not show the picture first that will perform best according to that specific user?
I'm not sure, Bitbucket's price effectively is $1/user and Github's $9/user. I wouldn't expect organisations to move to Bitbucket either, as change is generally costly in terms of man-hour, but current price structure makes Bitbucket eight-fold cheaper.
Please be aware of the fact that this survey is commissioned by Bloomreach to reach a conclusion they'd like.
"By a 2-to-1 margin, respondents to Survata’s survey said they don’t understand why their favorite retailers don’t offer the same kind of dead-on, personalized experience that the big search engines do." It must be a great coincidence that Bloomreach provide personalization services to online retailers.
I'd totally agree with Google part. Their free services (Search, Maps, Mail) are amazing but once you're doing business with them, they are a PITA to work with.
Well, very few members of HN community actually uses Sina Weibo, but we're aware of it, aren't we?
I think Instagram acquisition and this are not similar cases. Instagram was a direct competitor of a core product of Facebook: Photo Sharing while there's no such competition in Tumblr case.
I believe they were just being funny, reporting how ridiculous these event ticket buying process became, instead of reporting this as a comparison between two companies.
http://joesgoals.com does a pretty good job in my opinion, but it shows last 7 days instead of full month.
Octave is open source, you can port "polyfit" to JS if you like.
It took me a while to understand what actually the product is. Is it just a dock? A MacBook Air like laptop? Only then I understood it was a laptop that "connects your phone to laptop" (I'm still not sure if I got it right, so correct me if I'm wrong). I'd probably won't buy it but good luck to them.
It's funny that now every laptop is looking like Apple's MacBook Air.
Some investors have very poor judgement, that's true, but Andreessen Horowitz is hardly one of them.
I'm writing the code myself, how I could get the code is undocumented otherwise?
That's what I'm saying too, I don't want to "manage" but he's being actually lazy.

Hi everyone,We're a small startup of two. Lately, I found my colleague is working less and less. The code he writes is mostly buggy and undocumented. Even the unit tests are not working; so when we run them, we thought something was wrong but then saw the problem was in the unit tests themselves.I don't want to micromanage, I don't want to be a bitch, but I also do not want to be the only one...
Few comments:
The "todon't" list is looking like a textbox. At first I thought maybe it's for details of the "stuff we should not have done", only after submitting item i could get, "Ah this is the list itself".
Also, only clue I had about what the app suppose to do was it's name and tagline.
Is this a part of complete Mixpanel service or is it something separate?
