kelsers

I used OpenCV in a bunch of college projects and had no idea it was the same guys who did ROS (used for my senior research project). Best of luck with your next venture!

I'm slightly confused. Let me see if I got this right:

Ink (nee filepicker.io) is a developer tools company that is trying to make a framework for talking between iOS apps.

Yet they build 4 applications for the itunes app store, afaik seem pretty reasonably full featured.

What's the strategy here? I would have assumed that they would be trying to get as many partner apps as possible.

The story is ridiculous

I agree that there are both high and low cost options. The author seems to trying to sensationalize the story. [1] But it is true that the cost of living in the Bay Area is high. It's affecting things like home ownership, income levels, homelessness, public transportation.

[1] VentureBeat's audience is probably reasonably geographically centralized here, where we understand, but I can see how someone from the Midwest would be completely surprised by $4 toast and think that those prices are the norm. (It's the same reaction I get when I explain that yes, there is a slide in the Google office, but most people take the stairs like normal human beings).
