I've recently launched https://pingtiger.com I now have some free trial users who are helping me with figuring out features they need the most. There are a lot of existing solutions for the same problem, but I'm trying to make the user experience simpler and more pleasant.

Re:Uber CEO Indicted in South Korea Over Its Taxi Service on Wednesday December 24, 2014 @11:46AM (#8793437)
The issue goes beyond the technology and law. It's more about the culture of place where Uber operates in. Making a living as a taxi driver in Seoul is different from how it is to do the same in San Francisco. Consumers have different expectations and are wary about different safety issues.

This must be true for each country. I don't think Uber can pervade the entire globe as much as facebook or google. Each place will lag but eventually come up with their own version of Uber that has better understanding of their locale. I think it's different from how people wish to have the same McDonald's experience across the globe. And there is no economy of scale by operating in two very difference places. Consumers in Seoul do not benefit from Uber's operation in San Francisco. Perhaps there is economy of scale in developing the technology, but not in operations.

Uber is the pioneer but is not meant to take over the entire globe.

I have been trying to find an efficient way to deal with this, and the trick is to decide what the most important thing is at any given moment for you. When you are fairly sure what that is, let's say it's an article or a book, you have to finish what you set out to do initially before another interesting thing gets your attention. The cost of context switching is very high, and you have to really pick out what matters to you. If you can take the time to think about it, there will be things that you want to dive into more depth than others. Once you are able to reach a certain level of expertise on a topic, I find it becomes easier to concentrate on few things (signal) and ignore the rest (noise).

Re:Will Microsoft Open Source Internet Explorer? on Saturday November 22, 2014 @04:58PM (#8646783)

Re:Open Sourcing a Failed Startup on Friday November 21, 2014 @01:00PM (#8642405)
This is a great post, thanks for sharing!
I looked for a startup job specifically because pg says joining a startup is the next best thing, and then managed to join a growth stage startup. What's changed from doing a startup is I no longer have to think about if the company will survive in x months and I am just focusing on the technical side of things. My days have become easier and I get more positive outcomes each day, but in the long run, I feel like I have to get back in the game.
I didn't realize this is from Mojang. This seems pretty useful.
you are amazing!

You may be right. Can you think of some examples of products that failed?

HN's Law

Products people repeatedly talk about on HN become popular to the rest of world after some lag. I can predict the same for Bitcoin.
