I really like their UI and deploying over the web - that was like magic. But I was having a weird issue with loading images in Pebble.JS at first. I came back a week later and the image load worked just fine under the same conditions. Th

This is awesome. I was planning on doing custom boxes for us someday, but I put it off because of the headache of dealing with existing companies in the industry. Excited to use Pakible, and to be able to test out different designs withou

Really excited to see the MVNOs getting better service by licensing multiple Tier 1 networks. I'm still using AT&T on a family plan, but only because they've followed T-Mobile's strategy almost verbatim for the last year

This is a cool project - must have been fun to do the research on and build. Are you using any optimization techniques for AdSense? Would love to hear them if you don't mind sharing.

Very cool, Lee! Congratulations!

+1 It's a good format. The honesty and genuine voice from This American Life - and the episodes don't give you much resolution at the end. Just feels real.

Got a confirmed answer - he uses aluminum. And on 3D-printing, YES - this guy is making awesome progress: www.hovership.com. I have one of his MHQ V1 frames.

Unfortunately I don't have a video of his frame - My goal is to get one at our next meetup. It's hard to capture because the thing is zipping around so fast! My videos (trying to iterate on getting better cinematic quality) are a

I organize a drone enthusiasts group in Fort Collins, CO, and we have some members working on similar custom racing rigs. One member has his own CNC and is designing frames for around ~$200 cost of materials that can jet around at 60+mph.

Well, it makes sense that they'll keep focusing on the last mile - but I'm hoping the next product will appeal to more people. Boosted boards are amazing, but few are going to experience them because of the learning curve and sty

Agreed. I really like listening to Paul Graham's longer responses. I'm left wondering how he and Jessica elaborated on most of these questions (if they did).

Really curious what Boosted Boards' 'bigger ambitions than making skateboards' are! A friend has one of their Kickstarter boards and it's unreal.

This is an awesome article, Paul. I really dig the layout of your site, too. I've been flying Lumenier quads for about 6 months, and just ordered their plug-and-play gimbal for my QAV400. It arrives today! Sharing your article with

I love these essays. Particularly the "what do you do", "living on $40,000", and "value of writing". This year I lived on around $30,000 from my start-up and probably another $10,000 in help from parents on pl

It's tough to use Bitcoin seriously on a day to day basis when the value fluctuates so much. Yes, there are security advantages and there's less transactional friction. But that friction has a value, and it's way overshado

I read that Square Cash uses a credit card refund protocol to send money to debit cards so quickly. Is this the same mechanism?

If you can get this working on cars, I would love to see what you can do with residential real estate. 42Floors might beat you there, but they seem pretty focused on commercial.

Congrats on this article, guys. I hope the YC experience is going well. I got to watch your office hours at Startup School and was totally inspired. Glad to see you still killing it!

You'd think Boingo would have explored this from the start with their Wifi connection. Even though it's consumer-facing, I'm sure they could have reserved a small subset of bandwidth to experiment with realtime flight data.

We loooove ArduPilot. Using ArduPlane and ArduCopter (firmware versions of ArduPilot) as the primary platform for our LTE-Telem box. The current software for configuring ArduPilot boards has tremendous depth, but I think the UI could use s

To my knowledge, "Trappy" (nickname of the pilot) is one of the best RC pilots around. He flies for Team Blacksheep, and is a big figure in the drone community for encouraging safety, education, and progressing the tech. He'

A friend and I are working on this verbatim! Building an iOS interface for controlling the drone in-flight and planning missions, and a little "black box" that will connect to the autopilot computer and send telem data over LTE.
