I really hope that biking SF will improve in the future. It's freaking dangerous to bike on some of the streets in downtown SF.

Awesome work. I use the app frequently.

Get self directed IRA or 401K. Then you can do whatever you want.

Genius idea. Similar idea applies for iPhone's anonymous shipping packaging and plain envelope for credit cards -> reduce theft.

The article is just general YC advices. I was hoping to read more about visa issues, funding issues as international founder, building teams in US and Norway etc.

Jeff Bezos?

It's the Ten Years movie

Actually industrial design doesn't mean the design will work for mass production. Usually they should think about the manufacturing part as well. That step is called Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Usually the mechanical engineer works on the DFM part.

Due to the map issues. Uber drivers always call you to ask where you are. Which is a huge issue if you don't speak Chinese. Uber is powered by Baidu map data in China.

Amap is also where Apple is getting some of its Chinese data from.

We've made an mobile shop on iOS with integration to Shopify. We are planning to open source it once we release our own shop. Let me know if anyone is interested in trying it out.

I just had an awful experience with Airbnb a month ago. I rented an apartment in Maui for two nights. We arrived really late in the night. When we were in the apartment, we found out that it wasn't cleaned. Used bed sheets were on the floor and still on some beds, tables were dirty. The host obviously forgot to clean it. I contact the host, but couldn't get hold of him, since he's in another time zone. I called Airbnb and send them pictures of the place, and asked what to do. The Airbnb support guy basically told us that the apartment was clean enough to stay for the night, and we have to resolve the issue with the host ourselves. That was the first time I have talked to Airbnb support, and the experience was just awful. We ended up staying at hotel for that night on our own dime, but the host was kind enough afterwards to refund the booking fee.

>> I think a major differentiator is that in the EU credit cards are a lot less common and even debit cards aren't used for most transactions (e.g. even at the supermarket most people seem to pay cash).

Definitely wrong. In Denmark I never carry any cash. In US I have to carry at least some cash. Why are there no bigger bills than $100?

They are all pictures of actual blind people. There are no "Photoshopism" involved other than the usual enhancing brightness or contrast etc.

Pretty interesting that it includes our Thermo app as well.

This article come to mind. Would Google be interested in buying a stake in Paypal now?

If it's for secruity concerns why can you not send a t.co link in DM?

They just changed it in the new developer agreement, that you probably agreed to if you logged into your developer portal.

It's under "Information Deemed Apple Confidential". "Further, Apple agrees that You will not be bound by the foregoing confidentiality terms with regard to technical information about pre-release Apple Software and services disclosed by Apple at WWDC (Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference), except that You may not post screen shots, write public reviews or redistribute any pre-release Apple Software or services."

While you are at can you change the date format as well? DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY (US). It should go from small to big. The other way around makes my head hurts every time.

I just took another look at the pictures. They are using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converters!

Does Apple allow licensing of MagSafe now?

London streets were empty in 28 Days Later as well.

Bluetooth 4.0 and iBeacon is Apple's plan right now

Sort of like RIM -> BlackBerry.

It wasn't on Kickstarter. They did pre-order from the get go.

From https://github.com/chocolit/dashboard it looks like he uses Jawbone UP and Withings.

$8,596,474 is not enough to ship to Kickstarter backers first?

Steve Jobs wasn't a graphic designer either, but people still quote him on the skeumorphism of Calendar or Notes app among others.

No one mentioned Processing? http://processing.org

We actually contacted you before we launched, but never heard back.
