Congrats on shipping! Looks quite polished. May be helpful to show how it differ from JustWatch or other streaming service aggregators.

Hi all, I'll be around for a couple hours if anyone has any questions.

Here is a link to the actual memo: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...
Fun game. Works well on iPhone 13, but doesn’t work on iPhone SE (screen doesn’t fit and there is no way to scroll). Another thought, would be great to see how score compares to others or the average, best score, fastest, etc).
This looks great, congrats! I’ve tried a number of photogrammetry software and they typically had challenges. One question: are you able to determine the size of the object?
Goal seek does this. It is a built in capability.
A large part of this appears to be non cash expense associated with stock compensation that was recognized due to an investment round where they let employees and investors sell shares at above “market value”. Can helpful to look at cash flow.
Some unsolicited advice for any Uber employees here on HN: You may want to seriously consider selling all vested shares. The price not be what you are expecting, but, from my own personal experience, and "most expert advice", it can be better to sell and diversify. Many one-time high-fliers, such as Zynga (where I previously worked), never got back to their IPO or lockup expiry price.

Great visualizations and simple clean presentation. I tried to use a number of these simple tools to evaluate investment properties but they were usually too high level. I ended up building my own very detailed spreadsheet where the inputs can be tailored very specifically. I know it's not "software" in the HN since, but I made the Google Sheet available online [0] here if any one wants to use it. Note that this is a shared demo so your data will be overwritten by other users.

View it here in actual life size on your display. http://beta.lifesizer.com/view?user=5&ref=_59&h=1080&w=1920
Edit: based on seeing it in actual size, I would say it would be hard to see it with the naked eye, that said as pointed out in other comments, I suppose not impossible if a human eye can detect a single photon.
Anyone seen performance metrics Vs depth capabilities of iPhone 8 or X?
I was surprised that the robot doesn't have a touch/impact sensor as a fall back.
Congrats Emile!
Zynga's case was more nuanced than that story leads on. Zynga built out its datacenter capacity assuming a base line of users, which in hindsight, was optimistic and left them with significant excess capacity and costs.
Great functionality goes way beyond IFTTT. Question: why doesn't the list of apps in Open App action include all my apps? Really wanted to include my Harmony Logitech app.
[Disclosure: I know the author] Kindle version of this book is free today. Short quick read with some good data points for funding and getting traction. Focused more on bringing physical goods to market.
Congratulations. Looks like you got Barbara Corcoran to review it. Any tips on how you got a celebrity to write a review?
Nice list. Also could provide some limited exclusivity for a short time period. Or discounted pricing for early adopters.
I like the idea. One suggestion, provide the "social proof" so people are confident you can pull it off.
Yes, I was wondering about sales objections, thanks. Those are good ones. What about resource constraints to integrate? This is one of the most common I've run into. Even if integration is as simple as a copy/paste of some code, it still requires moving ahead of their pipeline. To help here, focus on making it as easy as possible to integrate and also help the customer see why it helps them to make it a priority by showing the benefit of adding now vs. later (ROI data). Have you heard similar objections or are you only pursuing customers that have already reached out to you and have thus, presumably, already determined file upload is highest priority?
Nice summary. That's what makes enterprise sales challenging and time consuming and why Steve Blank spends a lot of time in his book explaining how to navigate it. What are some other common objections/challenges you've run into and how have you overcome them?
Would it be helpful to be able to display certain buttons or other elements at a set physical dimension as opposed to pixel dimensions? For example, always show a button big enough for a finger (e.g., 1.5 cm). I ask because we recently launched a web app (www.lifesizer.com) that allows sites to display images in actual life size and think it could be great for designing mobile web sites, but comes with other implications for design, such as modifying layouts for devices with different screen sizes even if they have the same pixel dimensions.
We are currently focused on ecommerce and product review sites, but would love to hear if people think it would be helpful for a new take on responsive design.
I like the way you use that post as a way to recruit the person you just described. But I agree with PaulHoule that the 10x isn't meant just for developers.
Any reposts? Looks like HN crowd has exceeded his bandwidth...

Thanks, that works great.
can you describe what took two years? It looks nice, but just trying to understand where the time went. Thanks!
