I was surprised to see Alpha Vantage[0] on this list. As far i'm aware, they provide real time access to stock prices, and their service is free. Additionally, other services [1] exist that do the same, which are also free. How might t

There's a lot of discussion here about hype, but I think many are overlooking exactly why expectations were so high. Downloads of new mobile applications have been decreasing in growth steadily for years now[0]. Instead, user's sp

Glass wasn't hype by any means, it just didn't take hold in the consumer market (which, who's to say Google didn't predicate that). It's been in use by massive enterprises for years now, from Boeing to GE to large h

I think it's a pretty well known fact that YC tends to invest in companies that have the opportunity to be billion dollar ventures. > What you're doing right now isn't necessarily the thing you end up doing in the long ter

I love Crashlytics, it was a great success and continues to be an awesome service. However, this comment highlights my question. Crashlytics was an early "first mover" in this area, has been a goto for developers for years now, an

I'd love to hear some discussion on the following: I really like developer focused companies like Buglife. However, what path could Buglife take to reach a $1B dollar company? The post notes that they are currently in 300 apps. I'

Anyone care to guess how this is done? The only way to open up ADB over a wireless connection is to set the device in tcpip mode on port 5555 and then connect via adb using the device's IP and the mentioned port. However, adb is not sh

Fun little note: The afterburning turbofan engines used in this aircraft are supposedly similar in performance to the P&W F119 engines used in the Raptor. The company behind the engine is/was working on a high bypass version which

They started off with a business model which entailed having users translate documents for partners. Last I read, they have pivoted to using ads and in app purchases, along with charging for certifications. I don't know whether or not

I do think that the overwhelming majority of Duolingo users are likely learning on their own volition, rather than for their job. > While it is “teaching,” it’s also squarely in its own domain Could this idea simply be because, for the m

I understand this article is a bit outdated, but companies like Duolingo or Clever seem to prove a few of the author's arguments wrong. One would think there would be a market for Duolingo style apps for other subjects, such as mathema

Any thoughts on what that would look like? I'm very much a fan of bite sized lessons (think Duolingo style), but am curious to how well that would translate to other subjects.

For those wondering i'm assuming it's this repo: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2 It looks like it requires a local copy of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to work. Why is that?

Lovely. The file size reductions are quite surprising. Removing the need to wrap sibling elements in a single parent element is a welcome change. I'd be interested in hearing some use cases for using the Portal API. Lastly, the new lic

Kudos to Facebook and the React community for prompting this change, this was the right move.
