Great visualization and topic.

You may not like it - but thats how TripAdvisor has always interpreted the policy. Specifically, sexual assaults have always been considered not family friendly. They are removed from the site and referred directly to the hotel for investigation. (disclosure: I worked there from 2010-2013, including a short rotation in the content moderation arm that makes these calls)

My broader point was simply that this isn't a new interpretation of this policy, they've been doing this for years.

^ Example A.

An alternative way to approach this, which the author of the article could also consider, is how might we, as technologists, build companies that help solve this problem?

For example, our country will have 3.5 M truckers (the most common profession in the US and in 46 of the 50 US States) out of jobs within 10 years due to automated trucking.

Option A: We cheer at the success of the automated trucking industry and ignore the impact (the 19th century robber barron approach)

Option B: We say "government clean up our mess" (the 21st century liberal approach)

Option C: We build companies, or organizations, that educate and employ those out of work truckers. (??)

Assuming we care about time periods longer than tomorrow, we cannot ignore the societal impacts of the companies and products we build. These cultural externalities are real; similar to the environmental externalities of the industrial revolution.

Its time for the entire tech community to decide what role our industry will play in society. We have a choice about if we want to be part of the solution - or just ignore it and wait for the coming societal chaos.

I think they expected what they've had. Some solid apps that converted over immediately and then increasing adoption from the iOS development community over time. This adoption curve probably looks similar to the consumer adoption curve of the new device.

FWIW, we've had a lot of success with our IAP driven app @ Craftsy. Apple TV revenues are definitely not the size of iPad or iPhone yet, but are promising.

Tl;DR James Altucher is a self-promoting jackass. This we've known for a long time. If you ready a paragraph from any of his work, you'll see this very quickly.

Moving on.

Not sure if I agree with that on MSFT or BB. The target audience overlap might be high, but 100% of zero is still zero.

Hey all, OP here.

We've noticed a number of posts (on HN and elsewhere) from iOS developers concerned about iOS8 - and more specifically the new iPhone screen sizes and their impact on the asset creation/delivery/storage problem.

This is our solution from @Craftsy. It's been working great for us for months now and has lots of benefits beyond not breaking on new screen sizes/resolutions. We'd love to hear from other teams who are doing it similar/differently/better. This is definitely not perfect but as we said in the post, solves a lot of the potential problems.

We've been using Lookback for internal testing on our upcoming iOS release @ Craftsy. It's been super helpful. We're hoping to do some user testing with it over the next few weeks as well. Great service guys, congrats on the continued growth.

Interesting to note that this is where TripAdvisor initially started. It turned out its really hard to scale this 1) globally and 2) efficiently and thats where UGC came into play.

Question on the trust factor: Why should a user trust "professional" reviews over the collective opinion of the crowds? Professionals can never experience everything, so will be working from a smaller knowledge base to start and are probably more corruptible than 150 MM people or wherever TripAdvisor is these days.
