"There were mistakes made on both sides"

I've been using this to test the usability of our internal management with the team and figure out bugs. It's fun to send recorded snippets of future functionality too. Love it!

I wonder why there's no wine, or mixed drinks on a company's perks list. Time to diversify!

Interesting aspect i'd never thought of. When you haven't working in (or with) HR before I guess you might not think of things like recovering alcoholics - or even company liability.

It seems a lot of startups ignore these issues for a hope of garnering another scoop from the talent pool.

Had to jump in here. Just because you have a person preference of complete sobriety whilst working shouldn't mean it's a policy for everyone.

For example: • I work best in the early mornings - does this mean everyone should come in from 5am? • I find it hard to work at a stand-up desk - nobody can use stand up desks anymore, sorry. • I feel drained after going to the gym before work - nobody can go to the gym before work, it will stifle your creative thinking. • Wearing long pants (versus shorts) makes me uncomfortable (i.e. unproductive) - no more long pants in the office.

If they make me unproductive - fine. That's me. As for making it a company issue - tell me which of the above options go beyond personal preference.

First off, Parse is awesome and I love it!

I have the same concerns (although I already have apps using Parse in the wild!): • Will FB kill off Parse? Seems quite unlikely in the short term, but in the long term? • Are they going to try and force any integrations with FB? • Will Parse continue to improve (they've done a lot of this recently!) or will it dwindle as others move faster? • Data / Privacy - what's going to happen with those going forward? These always are a concern in people's minds when FB comes up. • Facebook's APIs / Developer Support is SHIT... will this happen to Parse too?

This post annoyed me. I have a solution: don't use Path. Also, don't share your photos. Problem solved.

It's a matter of what it's worth to you. What risks are you willing to take?

There are developers who may charge $700/hr, but you've chosen to go with a developer who charges $100/hr because that's what you need at this stage. If he made a mistake, it's not likely to cost you EVERYTHING to fix up. Somebody points out the bug / issue and you can hire him to sort it out and push out an update. Speak to a developer who works at a law firm ;)

Conversely, people device to go with a $700/hr lawyer because of their experience and reputation. You're paying for them to not make a mistake because it may just cost you EVERYTHING. It's not a mistake you can fix after it's found. Something wrong with your patent? Contract? Not something you can say 'oops, it's fixed now' to.

I've tried it. The pen was accurate enough for me to color in tiny squares (same as those on grid paper). Writing felt natural too - I was surprised.

I've tried Collusion. I was resting my hand on the screen. There's an option to allow for this so it only detects the pen, which is awesome.
