Very nice project! Can you tell us a little about your tech? How did you crawl Amazon's USB listings, did you use their API? And then how did you figure out if an item has the feature you are looking for: What was your parsing and extraction logic like? Finally, how often are you refreshing your index?

I'm always interested in projects that have a clear path to monetization.

In related news, I built a simple tool to track real estate. For e.g. in San Francisco prices are down by about 3% across all property types (Condos, Townhomes, etc) compared to 6 months ago:

Out in the East Bay, in the city of Milpitas, prices are down by about 10% across all property types:

You can very quickly get a snapshot of the latest price trends with just a few clicks for each of the 300+ cities in the Bay Area. Check it out - https://agentsunlocked.com/

I don't think your claim is true. You are not the lowest price.

I just purchased Biotrue ONEday 90 pack today from EZContacts today.

You say the price is https://imgur.com/a/66wFxvS $69.99 cheapest plan (option 2)

But just today I purchased it from EZContacts for $30.79

So you'd be best served to Google for the contact lens of your choice and pay for whats the cheapest.

Note: When I tried to re-order from EZContacts, they were charging close to $50. So always start a new search when you are trying to order Contacts online!

Been an early beta user of outclip for a few months now. Robust app, works well and looks very polished. I like that the devs have started to focus on the bug reporting use case. Looking forward to seeing where they take this!

another thing this article fails to address is what is the supply of homes in a given region and how wealthy are people there. if you take mountain view where google is headquartered there are many wealthy people near by thanks to rising stock prices of goog, fb, aapl, Netflix etc. because of this and the lack of homes getting built house prices are just going up.

in 2017 less than 250 single family homes sold in mountain view. just put that in perspective. 250. thousands started working at google but only 250 homes sold. and the average days on market for a home was: ~10 days.

if these firms continue making money and if they continue to see their stock prices going up then you'll continue to see house prices rise in these markets.

articles like these fail in markets like mountain view / Palo Alto. they probably make more sense for markets that have abundant housing like Las Vegas / Denver.

if you view buying as a consumption decision then a lot of this doesn't apply

google has had this internally for a very long time.

the number of voice based startups that have built business logic on top of this fundamental api is staggering. some names: voicera (automated meeting minutes), voiceops (call center call analysis), chorus.ai (phone call analytics)

the focus on improving call center performance is where the money is. plenty more vendors will enter this market.

why havent they released the Infra Red footage? that will be less deceiving

1) Stay solvent 2) Buy high growth assets when everyone is selling. There's a lot of value to be had during recessions/bear markets. Asset prices invariably go up when the market turns around.

Long time strava user here.

I really wish Strava would do a better job helping you discover new routes around you for activities that you do. I'm a long time user who uses it for Mountain biking and short runs but I've never selected a route because Strava told me to. If you are a PM at strava there's so much you can unlock with all the user's activity data you are sitting on.

They aren't doing nothing of course. I can see their product efforts are focused on 1) growing the user base 2) growing paid subs.

some ideas:

0. is this a product people want?

1. you need a free tier or a try for 3 months before you pay. $29/mo is a high commitment.

2. also why not give your service for free to early adopters and get some testimonials.

3. do you have adwords setup? do you know what your target market is? do you know who your competitors are? bid on those keywords and you may get a customer that decides to pay.

While her post did send shockwaves inside Uber and the Silicon Valley at large, I think, it was Mr. Kalanick's incriminating involvement in the Waymo - Uber lawsuit that ultimately sunk Mr. Kalanick. He simply had to go.

the author of the post really grabbed my attention for his slick copy to get my to sign up for his mailing list. as soon as you get on the list he has a link to a tweet he wants you to RT. excellent copy, very good marketing and product skills. I'm going to be following this author because he could be onto something.

How does one get Audience Insights? The FAQ says: In order to protect the privacy of users, we only show this data when it exceeds a minimum size.

Does anyone know what the minimum size is?

Is this the behavior of the average snapchat user or that of a power user? That's the key question.

anyone know where the comment was made?

i think the app center could change everything for startups like YOU. facebook gets millions of eyeballs a day. with these eyeballs fb has the power to pick winners and losers for what appears before your eyes.

just like the itunes did for apple.

just imagine if your startup is fb's "promoted website of the week for travel", the possibilities are endless for you.

all of this is of course moot, if fb doesn't promote their app center. as long as they promote it, offer discounts (the way amazon does for their appstore with their "free paid app a day", i think fb could change the way startups are promoted on the web. (itunes already does some of this for the pure mobile play.)

Can anyone recommend games on the android that do "N-back testing"?

Once someone with AML gets a marrow what does their 1 year prognosis look like? I computed cancer "yield" a year ago based on cancer data from the state of New York, and Leukemia is (unfortunately) a pretty devastating cancer:

[I don't have kids] Nice idea, but I had to crunch the numbers. I'm not sure this service is cost effective. Take the 7 outfits plan at $49/month. Since you can only return these outfits at the end of 3 months that translates into $21/outfit over the 3 months. And if you make 3 returns within the 3 months, that effectively translates to $24.4/outfit. A brand new designer outfit from http://www.egg-baby.com/ will set you back by $40/outfit (probably lower, if you hunt for a good deal). So for gasp, 84 outfits a year, renting outfits through this service will set you back by $2049/year. Buying 84 new outfits will cost you $3360/year. So renting is cheaper by 39%. But, if OTOH, at the end of the year, you were to launder (Cost to you: $200; worst case) these outfits that you've bought and sell them on Ebay at 30% (worst case) of the cost, you'd net ~$800, bring down your total cost to $2560 for buying new clothes yourself.

Plum: 84 outfits. $2049/year DIY: 84 outfits $40/outfit. $3360/year. Launder them at the end of the year. -$200. Sell them for $1000 on craigslist or Ebay. $2560/year.

worst deal ever.
