has it ?

I spent >5years solo building a game that you can probably complete within an hour. Based on the reviews though, 95% of people still really enjoy it, which was a relief. It also feels very validating to read the opinions in here.

oh sweet

Wondering how hard it would be to build something that takes a picture of ingredients on a food label for text recognition, which feeds into this... or something like this

Is this proposing a spotify like royalty payment to software developers on the platform too then ? Seems like a bad idea.

All that work just to skip a telephone interview ey. I suppose it was for fun initially anyway.

Cool, We did something very similar for a hackday not that long ago. http://picdeck.co

Not.. sure.. if.. trolling.. or.. not..

Yeah I think it was apparent that was the plan when they acquired them. It just took them soo long to get it integrated. Using testflight as it was, was good but it was a little painful. This in comparison should be a lot more simplified and smooth.

Nope, not a joke.

no need..

The first line says "these allegations are 100% false" though

In the situation you are travelling with a kid who is eligible for free travel, rather than going through the barriers you should've just spoken to the the person on duty. Theres always at least 1 person standing by one of the barriers that would let you through.. takes like 5 seconds longer but doesn't involved getting munched :)

What would the inside of a recharged battery look like I wonder.

I'm sorry but I fail to see what this post is for. You made a post complaining about someone else's post (of which should not have been made in the first place) trying too win over people of whom have no opinion on the matter?

weeeeell, if he's the founder, he does have a right to defend his companies reputation (that said, i don't agree with the way he's handled it).

This is fantastic. How long is a whiteboards lifetime ?

Text is also a feature I'd like to see. Sometimes its easier to just type something than gesture each letter

Im not a founder so my knowledge is somewhat limited, but from what I see around me most of the known or more 'successful' startups tend to have at least 2 founders. There must be some reason/correlation behind that right ?

I'll accept that point but I still don't think its the same. My thinking is that these companies pretty much grew with the internet, which played a pretty big role in their success and I just don't see the internet growing in that same fashion today.

That said, the way we use the internet today is changing which is why I don't think its exactly impossible but would question how difficult it would be in comparison to 20years ago.

The top 2 (Amazon & Ebay) where founded in almost a different internet age. It makes wonder if a solo founder could create such a large company today.

I believe its ranked by valuation and/or users/subscribers

Unfortunately, the days of naming products desirable things like "bolt," and being able to defend them, legally or not, are over.

I have a feeling the guys at King disagree with you.

It sounds like a neat problem to work on. I imagine a few awkward situations where the algo has "slightly" miscalculated though.

Perhaps I've misunderstood and just mistaken but is the auto-swiping random ? As in, Will it swipe yes or no randomly to people ?

Its probably the firehose via one of the two data providers, is why the service isn't free. Datasift is one of said providers, can't remember the name of the other.

Do you know of any other way around this, other than going to your employer explicitly ?

I believe they power themselves using open sourced data like that from Transport For London. I think they also plug into some other apis for things like cycling routes.

but by the sounds of it you'll still be able to do exactly that with 4sq.

It doesn't look like any functionality is being lost from the standalone 4sq app as it is now, just separated because people aren't using them together anyway.

infinite scrolling works for things like Facebook, Twitter or any other case when you probably don't want the user to be alarmed by the amount of time they've spent on a site..

If i saw 'page 11' on Facebook, i'd instantly think about all the time i just wasted and try and be sure i didn't so that again.

I thought the whole shortage for demand argument was to do with the lack of talent that was being produced, rather than simply the number of people who had a bachelors degree.

this made my day
