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.

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.
