I assume your drivers license is in your wallet. You are concerned about anonymized email?

Sorry my post was confusing.

Lyft had the wrong route (280 and longer) Google confirmed my suspicion that we took the shorter route (101) Lyft credited back regardless but it was good to know what really happened

Like many other comments, I like this and find it useful. Recently I took a Lyft ride late from SFO to home and it was late and I was tired and I didnt concentrate on the route taken by the driver but I was certain we took the 101. Later when I saw the charge, I was surprised to see the ride map showing me taking a roundabout way, heading on 280 and essentially doing a 70mile ride. I complained to Lyft and they refunded the money but I still wanted to know how I got home. Checked back on this and found that it was in fact a regular 101 ride home and I had proof just in case Lyft wanted it.

As others have mentioned, it is nice to look back at the trips I took and also share with others who might be visiting places where I have been in the past.

I interviewed for a Product Manager role at Google and my experience was awful. Put this things in perspective, I was a Director of PM managing a team at my current role and working a lot with customers, presenting in speaking engagements etc as part of my day to day.

I get into the interview and the person on the other side seems to know very little of my background. He says he is a PM and starts with how much is google's spend on storage for youtube on an annual basis. Knowing very well, I walk through assumptions like the average youtube video size, no of formats based on screen res and video quality etc etc and give him the logic. He pauses and says give me a dollar value. He doesnt want to understand the logic behind the calculations. Anyway, next few questions are more of the same.. code optimizations etc etc. After 3 or so questions, we were done. No, do you have any questions for me. No customer related discussions. No what I have done in the past and how I've been successful.

I feel like these kind of interviews are not judging what the person brings to the table, rather do you know what I'm gong to ask you and that's all that matters.

I always look for 2 things in any interview. Are you smart and motivated because nothing we do is rocket science. If you are smart and motivated, you will succeed. The other is, will I (and the rest of the team) get along with you. Teams need to work together and people who lack tact in personal skills end up being very difficult to work with.

The problem with Allo and Duo and other "chat" tools google provided never felt feature complete. If I'm on my mobile phone, I want one app to get messages regardless if it comes from the carrier or my peeps on google. Hangouts is the closest thing we have to this. Even hangouts doesnt fully integrate. I'm a Fi user and when use apps that send text to verify, the autoverify doesnt work with Hangouts as my default messaging app. It only seems to work with Android Messaging app. These kind of half baked reasons are why none of the google messaging apps really have taken off. I agree with the past comment that Google had the opp to just improve on Google Talk and build on it rather than create 6 different messaging apps.

Looks like Dashlane ($40) and Sticky Password ($20) are viable alternatives. Both are more expensive than Lastpass. Reading the reviews, these seem like the best so far. Anyone with experience on either of these they can share?

Sounds more like what you'd like to see rather than reality. Nothing in your article suggest what's in it for Apple or even more so, what's in it for Telsa. More like how cool would it be if this were to happen.

Very cool. A few suggestions

* touch screen would be nice * Screen resolutions would be nice * SSD drive options

Edit: Just notice DPI and other ways of sorting are available by clicking on the axis. Should make this more intuitive.

Nice work overall

I am <blank>???

You've gotta be kidding. everything mden said

I disagree. If that happens, a new solution will emerge to replace the telecoms. To name a few, decentralized DNS, open wifi, google fiber etc.

The one thing about the Roku I like a lot is the headset on the remote. I love that! I can be in a room with my headset and not disturb my wife sleeping and enjoy the show.

The lack on the headset jack on the remote on this for me would be a non-starter. Other than that, nothing to write home about. I can't see anything here that would make me switch from the Roku.

If only we could collect all this and give it to this guy

You are joking. All multimeters I've worked with have been yellow. And all multimeters look like ... em... multimeters.

slightly off topic but I'm looking to move away from Thunderbird as a mail client. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I use gmail but not online but without updates to tbird, thats becoming the bottleneck

Love it! Price?

I would argue drive is better. Not only does it have device syncing like dropbox but it seamlessly integrates with the google ecosystem. And now its much much cheaper.

In other news, Apple creates a toilet that wipes your behind. What will home depot do next?

(sarcasm) - use it!

This looks very good. I'll consider this for my next project.

A few things I really like 1. Applies to tables, lists etc 2. Nice progress indicator. This is missing in datatables and is a pain point in my current deployment. 3. stylized lists and charts. Very cool

what i didnt see 1. filtering. eg: find in column x where string not equal to blah 2. Searching specific column rather than entire table.

I apologize if this exists and I missed it. Overall, look great. Best wishes on this.

I did look at lists.js and actually started my project with it. It seemed the best at the time. However, I soon realized the filtering capabilities were limited (eg running multiple filters at the same time). I can't remember some other challenges I had at the time.

Also, datatables has a large user base which means you can find many examples of it on stackoverflow or other such sites. Lists.js on the other hand has limited examples on their site and even fewer in the wild.

I'm not an everyday programmer and needed all the help I could get. Also, considering I'm not a developer, I found datatables quite easy to use.

I needed something that provided sorting, filtering capability for a recent project. After searching high and low and trying a few options, I finally settled on datatables (http://datatables.net/). It is incredibly feature rich and works very well for my use case.

Sorting is great functionality but if you really want adoption, I suggest you add the richness required by a variety of use cases. . Sorting . Filtering (regex, case etc) . Searching (column or full table) . Show/Hide columns

I don't mean to undermine to work put in here. It looks great and good luck.

I think you are overlooking the same thing the author did in 1995. It just hasn't happened yet. There are also somethings where I expect a healthy equilibrium to be reached between online and physical.

and yet it accurately states facts in a majority (if not all) matters I've looked up in recent years.

Wow. lot of negativity here. I think this is a great product and I would gladly pick it up when it becomes available. Indiegogo is a no go for me.

Here are my thoughts 1. DLNA != this and many have already outlined why so no point repeating.

2. Great features and the need for software is a minor hiccup considering how feature rich the s/w makes the solution. I would consider making the software portable for windows.

3. Not all platforms have hdmi. What about display-port compatibility (adaptor?)

4. I'm less concerned about b/w like some have pointed out here. The use case is not always high quality video as long as the quality is above SD and wifi doesn't cut out.

5. I'm guessing that with a s/w option, it should be possible to do this wired on the laptop end. But, the TV end is always wireless. I would love to see a wired option to eliminate wireless as an option. Not sure if there is a wired solution that exists today to do this.

Anyway, congrats to the team. Seems like a great product.

The main reason is that it would be prohibitively expensive. The article covers this at a high level but doesn't go into details. The reason you pay $80 for a bundle is because channels like ESPN, HBO etc are expensive. Other channels like CMT, DIY etc are cheap. Bundles lets cable companies hide these costs and pass along the costs to the user. Would you pay $40/month to just add ESPN. probably not, you'd rather get $60 and get 120 channels.

im 36. One disclaimer is that I didn't grow up in the US. Since I've been here, I've owned a cell phone and the need to use payphones were very limited.

Maybe you can share how old you are to get a sense of what age group carried these around?

I was unaware of red boxing. Had to look it up. Pretty neat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_box_%28phreaking%29

i agree. sounds like something emp #300 should walk away with.

Any idea how he comes up with $73k/yr? He says 3 members, 49 months and I'm assuming he means $1b. By my calc that is still $8m/y.
