A contrarian bet has outsized returns.

Simple Token, led by Fab.com / Social Median's Jason Goldberg. CTO + team is Germany's most experienced blockchain developers. They are making a Stripe for tokenization.

Why not just take a loan from a bank? That way you can spend that hiring and managers to let you off the hook of day to day operations.

Crossing my fingers for a Lego sorting robot...

In the Philippines, Dinuguan is one of our top 5 best known dishes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinuguan

We just removed Flurry because Crashlytics' Answers is way too awesome.

If anyone is looking to do the same. Our office in Davao City, Philippines is open and free. We have Internet, coffee and meetups monthly at least.

Meals can cost as low as $2 and lodging as low as $4 / day. Everyone knows English and very westernized compared to other SEA nation.

The Ice King is one of the most tragic characters ever written in recent times right next to Gollum. When you consider he was pivotal to how the Earth survived and how he protected a main character throughout childhood at a great ongoing personal cost - its astoundingly deep. The lore/universe is also very imaginative in the right way (somewhat grounded but very creative). Highly recommended. Watch Season 1 and 2 before judging because S01 is a little rough.

I am sure it will be just 3b or 3c. a VR peripheral would be a long shot but I would be glad to be wrong. :)

1. Steam

2. Steambox

3a. some VR peripheral (looks like a VR goggle/headset to me)

3b. some special cross-play between Steambox and Windows/Mac/Linux

3c. cross play between steambox and PS4

Wow. this is a big win for the team. Carmack can go deep and can also look at the controls on an instinctive level since he made Doom and Quake.

Where is the pricing for stickers?

We are using this for our web and backend at Lifebit and i can confirm this makes PHP development so much more enjoyable. We have tried Code Igniter, CakePHP and a bunch of others. Has the right mix of community, documentation, weight, speed and code commits activity.

This means that most of XBLA type/calibre is still going to happen (90% or 100% of XBLA had publishers)

This move is more for quality control (plus data on the lackluster downloads of Xbox Indie games) rather than hatred for indies. Its still short sighted but it would also make Xbox One deal with less cruft of games, thereby avoiding the signal-to-noise being bad (remember all games are not silo'ed anymore.) making the game library browsing experience just generally more appealing to the mainstream customer. I doubt these demographic will miss Xbox indie-type games, heck I don't think they even visited that tab.

But I do like the intense focus on games by the PS4 camp more. Just happy that Xbox One and PS4 are now going in totally divergent paths.

Moat? Itunes, OSX, Objective-C, App store, iCloud, even the brand. These are all moats of varying strengths.

Its not anti trust because developers can switch to android or wp7. There are no unmoveable market forces that will deem switching as market suicide, in other words there is no monopoly.

Any good alternative to SimpleGeo? Is Factual even the same?

Where is Instagram, Youtube or Wordpress/Blogger in this? Google+ has yet to be tightly integrated into Youtube, Android and Chrome so i wouldn't count that out yet.

its from the TV show, Community. I was hoping the Senor Chang preface was enough of a clue that it was a pop/geek culture reference...

In the words of Señor Chang. GAYYYY! Seriously, the letter is a GREAT idea but the gushing and sensuality will make MY co-founder think i'm in love with him or something. Tone it down a bit and it will be perfect and much needed too.

Here is my first iteration of a fitting tribute to dmr. Unix is, i think, one of the most important invention in software in recent memory.

What a life < he said it perfectly

Anyone tried this? Customer testimonials on the website would be very helpful...

Damn! i was in the middle of writing my "An open letter to Stripe: please come to Asia" post.

Looking forward to a post titled "An open letter to Stripe: please come to Africa" in some other blog any minute now. :)

Seriously, this is a hair on fire problem for non-US entrepreneurs.

Please become BFFs with HSBC since they are present EVERYWHERE.

I think the main problem of Color's products is the motivation behind them. Bill Nguyen seems to design their products (2 so far) on going after money in the social space not a deeper, more organic need. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Foursquare had founders who were intertwined/empathic to the problem their products solve. Nguyen strikes me as an armchair social analyst - analyzing the social space without using, understanding it deeply. But this impression is based only on a few interviews and Color's movements.

Why so? the market heating up?

Here is why Facebook will not lose any momentum over Google+. They are too agile, well-run and nimble at the moment. That and google+ architecture is too similar to Facebook.

Facebook is doing a good job matching Circles, improving photos on the feed, improving chat, etc. Almost every unique features of G+ are now competing with a 'good enough' counterpart on Facebook. Expect Facebook to match any new ones popping up from Google's camp all the while rolling out more new stuff around music, videos and photos.
