Seems pretty reasonable to me. If it’s a rough wireframe it can be just that, rough. If it’s a pixel perfect mockup then it’s a contract for final product IMO. Of course whether there are that many sets of eyes on it depends how big a co yo

Firstly they're based in London. (a) is not (entirely) correct. There are literally hundreds of epidemiologists, doctors, NLP engineers, etc that have worked on the models. They are not 20 questions. (I'm definitely not saying its

I actually took out income protection insurance for just this reason. I'm a contractor and so being able to work is very important. My policy pays out after 13 weeks of incapacitation.

As mentioned above. We're making money doing it. I've long wondered why these guys are out there pitching their courses, right now I just believe its a) because they see everyone else doing it b) its easy money but really c) becau

Its no walk in the park, but we do pretty well with it. The thing I always say to people about dropshipping is you're either making no money or lots of money. Finding a "winning" product is the hard part (0 revenue at this po

True - but my god the experiences aren't even in the same league and for me that matters. WeWork is worlds apart.

Contracted for a bit. When I had enough cash in the bank after a month or two I took a few months off and did some travel. I couldn't even bear the thought of another startup (while it was always a long term goal) until I took a break.

I'm actually looking for a biz dev/sales type person who is familiar with the digital ad sales space/publishing space. Location doesn't matter right now except would be great if you were in a (relevant) major city. I&#x2

Yeah, a lot of these places are still old school. They might have a DVD recorder in the back office that rewrites after x hours/days. So its not "we mandate them to buy the hardware and that we have access to at all times". O

Whose to say that one of the (many) reasons it currently isn't successful is that by feeling disconnected from friends and family it further makes them feel separate from society?

Used one travelling Xmas 2013, its pretty good value theres no denying that. I did have some problems with some binaries, I'm sure someone else could better explain it but I think it was something to do with the processor it runs on, m

I actually respected the way they did that. They're trying to make some very serious criticisms without detracting too much from the fact that Internet.org actually got off their arses to do something about the digital divide. I think

Whoah. Uncalled for dude. This is a tech site you have to remember, he's a CEO of a tech site/husband to SS/seems like he was a big figure in the community. I'm sure every single one of us cares that people died yesterda

Not even kidding I was about to say the same thing. Just got back from travelling, 2 months in Thailand 1 month in Australia. Would recommend it to anyone feeling like this. Words cant describe, I feel reinvented. Note: I was disconnected t

Interesting article. I'm sort of here now with something I'm working on, its incredibly general, and thats how I want it. What I'm going to do however is pitch to the specific groups, the specific uses. I'm going to get

Hey, yeah I totally get it. Just drive home the WHY, WHY do you need to help them understand their customers' behaviour patterns? What are the benefits? Honestly I can't say that enough :)

Hey! Cool concept. My overall comment would be really drive home the problem(s) that you're trying to solve, whatever they might be. I would lead with those. i.e. - Fed up of wasting perfectly good ingredients? - Want to make smarter p

I can't speak with any real authority, but I would suggest its down to the fact crack is cocaine mixed with further agents, allowing there to be a higher yield from the same amount of cocaine. You'd have to also consider whether s
