Sure, it's marketing for the gear, but I also have an unsupported suspicion that GoPro is looking to move into the same space as Red Bull Media House.

Within the first minute of his talk at XOXO back in 2012, he mentioned 4chan being about anonymity and ephemerality, not a blanket endorsement for freedom of all type of speech. If you haven't heard it, it's worth a listen (20:59)

Hello from Portland. Anecdotally, it seems like they are moving out of there and moving in here. (Disclaimer: there's an alarming number of people here that are opposed to that. I'm not one of them.) Thing to consider, though. The

I'm having a hard time understanding this, but comments here and other places make it very apparent that most users use Foursquare in different ways. That makes growth and innovation quite the challenge. What doesn't make sense to

The devil will be in the details. The Apple lease program to me isn't interesting because a) the minimum lease term is 24 months and b) the minimum order is $3,000. If I have an option to subscribe on 6-12 month terms and upgrade my ma

As a manager who doesn't spend any time developing, this was the last response I expected to see here. You even stole my coach/player metaphor.

Hey Chris, appreciate your participation here and on SO. Are you at liberty to provide more insight? I'm really curious to know why some (and not all) accounts were affected.

This bug did not disable all dev accounts. My personal one stayed active, the one tied to work did not. I'd love to hear a technical post mortem from Facebook, but that's pretty unlikely. And just for clarification, this has been

Yeah, I am, too. A friend of mine works for Child Protective Services and gets exposed to some very volatile and unstable people. He gets threats from cases he's assigned, but thankfully nothing too serious or pervasive. Now that he&#x

I always feel sleepy between 2:30 and 3:00pm each day. Unfortunately my job (and my coworker's desire to flood my calendar) don't allow for midday naps. Trust me, I've tried.

Yes, you probably are underpaid, but not by the delta you'd assume based on the original post. Both of the sources cited are talent agencies. Talent agencies make their fee based on the signing salary of their candidates. It's in their inte

I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I had high hopes of seeing data and research (no offense, TechCrunch) to support this claim. I'm in the camp of not liking social authentication, especially when it's the only option, but I'm also a sample set

I agree with a lot of your sentiment, especially considering some 3rd party that doesn't hold a ton of credibility is acting as the mouth piece. Out of curiosity, are you a parent? I'm not, but as an uncle that loves the shit out of his nie

While unfortunate they ran the ad in the first place, it's worth noting that it was pulled down within 3 hours.

I'd be very leery of running any unofficial two factor authentication. Heck, even 1Password urged their users to wait out the initial Dropbox TFA rollout. http://blog.agilebits.com/2012/08/27/dropbox-two-step-authen...

It seems gimmicky, which could work, but then throw in the QR code and incorrect usage of "its" and it just seems unprofessional. If you're investing in the person and not the idea, this seems like a very bad first impression to make. Howev

It sounds like you've worked with, at best, mediocre user experience designers. In my experience, a good IA never creates wireframes or comps. They rely on data (or testing when no data exists) to make meaningful associations and groupings

I'm a big fan of Zack Holloman's approach: Something I’ve been doing recently is making a screen recording of my talks using QuickTime on my Mac. It’ll record both my voice and my slides as I flip through them. It’s a much better experienc

I stopped reading when I came across Lightbank. I've spent time in Chicago, got to know a few of those guys and companies they've funded, and have since stayed as far away as possible. Anyone in the area should do the same. Curious? Look in

I don't think DHH has had a need to hustle in a while. Exactly. Guys in his situation don't need to, but they still choose to. When you're playing with that sort of passion and intensity, you defend with vigor. That's embarrassing? It's n

With all due respect to Jason and DHH, I wouldn't consider 37signals a "friendly" company. Mailchimp is a friendly company, but even still, I could see Ben (or any founder) having a similar reaction. If I found someone blatantly repurposing
