the point is that you have to be together to unlock the photos. It's not that you're sharing photos locally, as seems to be your issue with the app.

I don't think it should be about skipping the (or one of) the hard parts. It should be about guidance through it and helping founders understand how to read the signals coming in. Some startups think they're doing it, but they're really not.

A service to push founders through it would be great.

Caltrain is already over capacity at peak times. I agree that there needs to be more accommodation near public transport, but I think they'd be better off building more public transport first!

yeah, what's the point of sailing solo around the world in 100 days when you can do the same trip by plane in just a couple of days!

> complaints over the app are a muted form of natural selection.

that's not true. we uninstall and don't use the app. Remember Facebook •Camera? That has exited the gene pool.

> Also, did ed209 honestly claim artists churn out iterations of what came before, just like facebook churning out cloneware?

Yes. Just search for art movements, whether from 14th century Renaissance to 1950's pop art. Tell me artists were not "influenced" by other art being produced at the time.

I think there are probably more efficient ways you can get to making an interesting piece of software. Building on the work of others, maybe?

I'm wondering the same. Coming from the UK, home delivery for groceries is old news. Is it the geographical size of the US that's making this a harder problem over here (US)?

Did you know there are over 150 varieties of Finches? Each slightly different, maybe color difference or a larger beak or bigger wingspan. They came about by iterating on the Finches that came before.

In fact, that's how most advancements come about in nature, poetry, art, and yes, even technology. We take what came before an iterate on it.

I'm trying to think of a giant leap that came out of nowhere, but I can't.

Photos and videos are important to me. Really important. It's how I see my family 1000's of miles away or my daughter 5 miles away when I'm at work.

And just like in nature, either this iteration will thrive or die out eventually.

I believe Apple is sending out the wrong signal about driving+other activities at the same time.

Sure, people have already picked up bad habits, but that makes it ok to encourage that behavior if they are going to do it anyway?

Maybe Apple does make certain activities less dangerous, but it's still making access to distractions easier and I think that's a bad thing.

sounds great. Any chance of a quick how-to? I'm a male and I've never negotiated a salary either.

When bitcoins are lost, are they lost forever? So the total pool of bitcoins will be 21m - your 160 and his 7000?

These "phones" make such huge difference to my life that I can't imagine not discussing them.

I just moved to san francisco from UK. I have never been here before. Using my phone I can video call my family, who are missing my daughter, from a supermarket. I can discover places to shop, eat and have fun at the touch of a button. I can update my friends back home with how I'm getting on.

These phones impact at least 50% of my life, so of course I'm going to discuss them - at length.
