I ask because I use Yelp for this a lot
After several rounds of interviews, they actually came back with an offer for much higher (they did ask me how much I am expecting to get paid before making the offer). I countered back and definitely got a salary offer that was certainly way more than 50% of the original intended offer and about 30% more than the actual offer they actually ended up making in their initial pitch.
If like Passbook, I could store my cards and select which one digitally and easily transact everywhere the way Stabucks does it or how the Apple Pay demo during the keynote does it, that would be amazing. I would prefer just having to carry my phone and nothing else (replace my keys while we're at it).
The problem is no matter how awesome this is, it won't happen unless this universal system is in place everywhere. Currently not every store or merchant accepts such a way to pay or identify yourself (in the case of IDs or even other type of cards). And much like how there are still places that are cash only, the adoption for this is likely going to take a long time, if ever, to truly remove the feeling that I can finally not carry a wallet at all.
It is a problem (in the first world sense)in my opinion contrary to the article, just one that lacks a universal solution due to it not being widely adopted yet.
I think a startup is by definition a company hoping to scale fast. By this definition, what the author is doing probably isn't a startup. But then again, everyone define startup in their own definition so maybe it is by his definition.
Secret exists to confess anonymously within your circle.
General social networks to connect to your connections (FB, LinkedIn, etc).
An insane list of failed startups that try to get strangers to connect but no one actively seeks meeting strangers for the sake of in general.
I am having a hard time seeing why I'd want to connect to anyone anonymously in my area that don't fall into the above categories but I'd love to hear why you think it makes sense
For example, I do save articles I can just read. For that, a summary service would be great BUT that is true with or without Pocket. On the flipside, if I saw stuff like a blog post on technical code someone wrote about for something, more than likely I want to save that reference for later (true for a huge chunk of stuff I save or the type of things I save).
That said, I came across several people who have either worked on summarizers or talked about it but nothing seemed to have ever took off on those. I can't speak for others but in general I prefer to read content for myself.
If you are interested in Enterprise, Java is probably still dominant.
JavaScript is a must for front end stuff but I can't say that a lot of companies will adopt it heavily for backend, particularly if most are already established on some stack they've already been working on.
My best recommendation without knowing much is go with Ruby and Rails.
What about stuff like http://www.handybook.com/?
Can you elaborate on how the mod works?
