I think this continues to be a Zuckerburg f*ck you ever since Snapchat said no to his offer.

Well my reason is quite simple, its a huge distraction for me. And I dont see any personal gain from it

thats an easy thing to validate. If the vehicle is still moving, or if the driver also hasnt confirmed the trip has ended you can work it out.

Im thankful I have the ability to exercise critical thinking.

hmmmm, not sure about this. It could play out badly for business owners. how does google determine if a place should now be deemed full? how do they calculate capacity without understanding each business model and operational workflows?

some stores might look full but actually service their customers in average times? they might have provisioning tills for when N customers are in store? What if some people do not use google services?

If I was a business owner I would be angry at the possibility of google turning away potential customers because of what it thinks my business can handle without any accurate data.

I hope they make it easier too. Theres no documentation what so ever for installing kubernetes on coreOs yet they endorse using coreOs

Thanks, ive read the docs but its still not clear. Il reach out to the coreos community

"we didn’t find enough reason to figure out if kubernetes was a better option."

Then proceeds to name every problem kubernetes fixes

Yea, im considering using PayU while waiting for Stripe. Just really dislike the fact that they use soap services

PayU(http://payu.co.za)

PayU subscriptions:http://help.payu.co.za/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=8553425

YES PLEASE! ive beeeen waiting for stripe to come to South Africa, alot of other developers i know too are terribly frustrated of the unstable payment gateways we have down here. Stripe would be a much needed breath of fresh air.

"...latest startup trends"

I dont imagine startups start their ideas based on trends, unless you mean technology trends. But in any case. This information would be very hard to come by as most people/companies dont announce what they plan to build until they have an MVP.

The only thing I can suggest is to follow a bunch of hackathons, hopefully ones that are not limited to sponsorship tech or industry. And try workout the trends from there.

side note: this could be a nice little machine learning project :)

well said

Im not sure what you mean here?

Simplicity maybe...but elegant? no

Sorry couldn't post the link, it was part of the sign-up wizard.

Im from Durban, South Africa, are there any cool start ups in SA on the rise that shuld be taken noticed off?

Curious. how are they much worse than MTN?

"If the idea does not really excite at least some people the first time they hear it, that’s bad."

I honestly believe Slack got big so fast because of their awesome awesome campaign advert. Just like the dollar shave club ad too.

Some startups forget that the first impression and cool factor still play a big role in creating a huge buzz about your app.

Title: "Early bird programming vs. night owl hacking – which is more productive?"

but it mentions nothing about productivity in the article.

You have just made my day, and possibly gave me the motivation I thought I had lost. My partner and I are expecting (no planned). And I had wondered how on earth I would cope continuing with my start-up and raising a child. but seeing that not only are other people doing it, but they outlook is positive. man. I feel like I have been saved.

I think OP really was burning out. I have a daily job but manage to get solid side projects shipped. 8-5(Till 5 is the important part! no overtime). I get home. rest or gym till about 7pm then get cracking. Usually sleep around 1am. Im a heavy sleeper so i dont do it every day. but its enough to get things done.

Yes. Without Jobs there would be no apple, Wozniak failed to see the appeal and vision steve jobs had about computers.
