I do fear that cars are going to have the opposite problem to phones... Where Apple sacrifices battery life for unnecessary thin-ness, I fear car companies will sacrifice it for unnecessary speed and size.

Edit: and who knows what'll happen if Apple gets into the electric car business!

How do you go about doing such a thing? My Nexus 9 could do with a new lease of life...

I got the impression that he was aware of it, but had no reason to remember the specifics of it. He knew it sounded about right, which is what I'd expect from a CEO months (or years) after the fact.

The other comments don't mention this, but it's also a new UK bank. They're going through the official approval process right now to be able to offer current accounts, overdrafts and so on.

I'd suggest you have a long, detailed, open and honest conversation with this person about the future of your company and your working relationship. Part of being a responsible co-founder is dealing with problems head on, and finding a way to work through them.

It strikes me that if you can't see a third option: Working with this co-founder to improve your collective situation, then the company has already failed and you may as well move on.

I've had no problems with USB-C on my Nexus 5x, personally. Certainly 100x better than Micro USB.

I don't think as a connector it has the polish of the lightning adapter, but I also don't think it would be a disaster if Apple switched to using it.

I'd love to test this out as a replacement for the Vagrant + VirtualBox set up we use currently to manage the development of PHPCI. :)

Thanks!

I really love the branch-level access control on Bitbucket. Being able to say that developers A,B,C have access to the repo, but only A can push to master, is incredibly useful.

There's a big part of it that is based on the incorrect assumption that if someone is in the office 9-5, they are working 9-5. That and the ability to directly monitor people, interrupt them whenever you want to, and so on.

The other part of it is slightly more understandable, which is to enable you to collaborate better with the other members of the team. Developers are often more likely to turn to someone they are sat near and bounce an idea off them than they are to write a question in an email, IM or chat room.

Why don't employers in Colorado consider offering more remote working positions? Employees that enjoy their Colorado-based job might be more inclined to consider relocating....

It seems like a good idea - but the site as it stands now doesn't give me any confidence that any VCs will actually see proposals, and even if they do, that they would take it seriously. Are any VCs on board currently?

You need to find some way to get way more information into the pitches... For example financials, forecasts, a plan. I can't imagine ever investing in something based solely on a short, free-form text pitch (and I'm not a VC.)

Also just a little note on tone - going back to my first point, I'm not sure any VC would take kindly to the idea of "Get Spammed" - You might also want to be careful with your test data ("some rich fart" for example) lest you put off any VCs that happen to see this whilst it is on HN.

Hope that helps. :)
