Best title ever.

I would like to get an accuraye overall result of the sentence. For example this "I found the result of this study amusing since it was far from accurate." was classified as nothing less than neutral but I was trying to see if it would pick up the sarcasm. Is sentiment analysis not yet there?

lol best name ever... thanks for sharing.

No you are not. I think I wasn't clear enough. These are too good choices. I had forgotten about Google voice. Thanks.

Anyhow, I guess I meant something that worked pretty much exactly like the pay phone. Something that I can use once and not leave the rest of my money trapped there forever. At least for Skype you have to buy at least $10 worth of credits. How does it work for Google voice? Is it on demand?

Also, something that you didn't have to subscribe to some service so you can use it. I know both Skype and Gmail both have hundreds of millions of users but what if you don't use either one.

Thanks for the thorough calculations, it'll definitely help us moving forward. Also, glad you mentioned Hue bulbs, we were focusing on Bluetooth as our main differentiation factor but we have to cover the basic as well i.e. good lighting.

Thanks!... Yeah, much more practical for a prototype.

Who says we are some code away? Stay tuned for the iPhone App blog post :)

Need more details to give you proper advise. Has this been going on for a while? Was it something in particular that happen? Did it has to do with your work or your behavior at work? Is hard to say.

I was once talked down to constantly by someone that wasn't my team lead. However, I had to deal with him because my team needed he's team help. Anyhow, I talked to my team lead and manager and let them know what was going on. They knew this guy was out of place but couldn't do much at the time. And from that time forward I just CC my team lead on everything for a while until things calm down.

An API already. You guys move fast.

This shit is pretty awesome. Good stuff.

I do, all the time. But it can't be slow music or it kills my productivity. And usually music that don't engage me too much, otherwise I end up singing along and loose focus. So something that serves as an awesome elevator music that falls in the background nicely. Mostly rock, salsa and techno.

Amazing. What would happen if we replaced every crappy teacher with one like this one? How different would the world be in 5,10,15 years? We need more teachers that are as passionate and devoted as this guy.

I was reading your website and all I thought was, this is the convenience of CloudApp(http://getcloudapp.com/) but for a one time payment that plugs into your dropbox and hence you don't have to pay a subscription.

Anyhow, I agree with having a free version of some sort,e.g. less features. And it would be definitely awesome if this was the equivalent of CyberDuck but for file sharing, in the sense that plugs into dropbox, s3, whatever other file sharing system out there, hosted or self-hosted.

Good stuff.

You said you built this because as a freelancer you often needed to share files. What else would help you as a freelancer that you haven't built yet?

If you offer a free alternative you should highlight that, not hide it in plain sight. Perhaps you should go with `Signup for Free` rather than simply mentioning it on a small font which reduces relevancy. That would be a good AB test for your conversion rate.

What if you wanted to learn something that is not related to programming? What if you wanted to know the best books/blogs/etc to learn how to make awesome tutorial videos?

Where do you usually go in that case (for validated/curated resources)?

(And event on SO these kind of questions get closed down. Some get protected, but is only after they get significant traffic. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1711/what-is-the-single-m...)

I understand what you are saying but just to get a better feeling for what you are thinking about, could you give me an example:

If you wanted to learn X, what would be the next kind of answers/sub-topics/topics you would like to get exposed to?

Awesome feedback! And I understand, my background is on computer engineering and even sometimes when starting to learn about something completely new that I had not done before (e.g. web-services/mobile), despite my previous knowledge or background, it can be frustrating. So, how could we fix this?

What was your process to figure it out? What did you search for? Where did you search it? Did you ask someone?

1) Why is discoverability awful? How would you change/improve it?

2) So a tool/place that takes into consideration what you already know and gives you suggestions on what your next steps should be would help you on your learning process?

What if every resource on the web was put to the test against a community? Rather than just existing, a community would have to sort-of approve you in order to be relevant on a certain topic?

What if that resource was somehow validated/curated by people that have used it before? Or was submitted by an expert that topic? Would you be more willing to give that resource a try?

I don't really have a problem finding the material either for a topic I am somewhat familiar with. Might take some time, might take discerning over more than a few resources on the web. But I do find it. However my point is what you just said, good material is important. And the tools for finding the material search the whole internet which has a bunch of useless stuff. And thus cost me sometime I rather spent elsewhere.

Your sense is correct. But is not around the idea of a search engine. Is about a tool/place that only has good material. Relevant, validated, curated material. Would something like that help you?

Do you feel just as confortable finding the material for a completely new topic as you do for when you are looking for something you know and you are only trying the deepen your knowledge regarding that topic?

"Finding resources used to be a problem, but it's mostly not any more" Why is it not a problem any more?

How many wells usually?

Is meant as a hook. And the most important part is that you complete it, that's the kind of validation they are after. But all feedback is good, so I am sure they'll have harder challenges soon.

Good idea, that's probably the best way to make the most out of this simple challenge.

Alright, I'll bite. I have no particular solution in my head, more particular results. I would want to have a service that yields compelling results and goes beyond simple keyword matching. I know you do a little bit more by looking for synonyms and misspells, but it would be good if you looked into web semantics (e.g. OWL) in order to better combine the keywords and thus produce better results. I would like to be able o submit not just a couple of keywords but the 20 plus keywords I typically generate every time I am looking for a domain. Btw you have a great name, I was just going to look for a domain and I remembered NameMesh immediately. Plus good looking/simple interface. Cheers.

Very nice. I normally do this manually, put together a list of keywords and then obsess over their synonyms and misspells, made-up words, etc. with a thesaurus and domain search website at hand. That is to say, this is definitely helpful in the process of finding a great domain. However, how is this different from the other solutions out there that mix-n-match keywords?

What other topics would you like to see there? Any awesome resource we are missing? Let us know.

I voted yes simply because of the fact that you might miss out on great team. BTW, I am not applying so I am completely unbiassed. Cheers.

Very impressive self-commitment.

Why do you think your product must be finished to apply? Apply early, show progress.

Apple will probably take its time, like always, to do it just right.

But I agree, siri in a box would be a great next product for apple and a great tool/toy for developers. It brings the TWINE project to mind http://kck.st/ruJgAV If the experience is a simple as the one portrayed in the video you linked and is as versatile or beyond TWINE it's going to be amazing.
