In Austin's airport there are several security lines that you can choose from. Each line shows its average wait time as well as the average wait time for the other lines.

I don't know about Kickstarter's TOS but I'm fairly certain you can do this with Tilt Open. https://open.tilt.com/

  How do you monetize a large user base without credit cards?

Ask Facebook. With Snapchat's curated "Our Story" stream it would be easy for them to superimpose a brand's logo on top of snaps that would get viewed by an audience that fits a particular demographic. I'd wager that companies see value in that.

When I moved to SF in 2012 I rented a new apartment in SOMA/South Beach (Carmel Rincon). My rent was $3300/mo for ~600sqft w/ no laundry. When I moved out they were increasing the rent past $3400/mo.

Great work, guys!

You can't submit apps to the app store that use swift yet.

If an app crashes immediately on start then what kind of star rating would you expect?

From FTA: "What is something you believe that nearly no one agrees with you on?"

'EAP' is not an acronym, it's an initialism.

Without knowing the founders' goal when they set out how can you reasonably conclude that they failed? They built a product that was enjoyed by thousands of users. I'd say they succeeded.
