True that. Before moving to an "invisible app", we were developing integrations for such accounting software, and we had an email forwarding function as Uber was also a big part of the expenses filed on our app. Still, a SaaS like ours had a hard time living only on mobile, and through our own mobile app
OneNote & OfficeLens has replaced many apps on my phone. It's true that the other apps were better tailored to the problem, but the effort to install and maintain so many apps with a couple mobile devices (tablet and phone) is just too much: app features and layouts keep changing, credential info needs to be re-entered and then I get to my desktop and there is no application for Windows or Mac.
For better or worse, if the requirement can even partially be met with OneNote or Evernote, they will probably just use it.
That's not correct, then the upper surface of the wing would not have effect on lift, when in fact it contributes over half of it.

Any South Eastern Europe coast city does it really. I personally like nature and silence every now and then so I stay at Albanian Riviera Villages May-July and Mid-September-October.

If you know the young scene and make friends quickly, as a digital nomad Prishtina, Split, Belgrade are also awesome. Try Istanbul if you really like a lively city.
It looks like you made the right pivot, moving away from a native app to a web app.

> Even during World War II, the Allied powers went to war against Hitler's expansionism, and not on account of the holocaust. If Hitler had just concentrated on killing people in his own country (like Stalin), no one would have clamored for bringing the Nazis to justice.

Not sure if we can say that. There were reports of what's going on smuggled out of Nazi territory, but they were mostly ignored; public opinion learned about the genocide only when Allied soldiers stumbled upon the concentration camps in 1944. Hard to tell what would have happened if people listened to the reports that came even before the war.
Really weird to read this being someone who is using the Expensify app on a daily basis. Super simple, I just photo the receipts as I go about during the month and then at the beginning of the next month I create my expense report.
correct me if I am wrong, but if I understood correctly:

- your parents are non-swiss and non-european, but came here, got you citizenship and adter growing up here you moved to US for university and stayed away - is that right?

You shouldn't be surprised what they asked from you - relocation. There are specific laws who companies can employ here, and noone is going to break the law just because you would like to set things up your way. If they allowed that, in couple of years Suisse in many ways would be gone as we know it. As you well know, it's a tiny job market with high salaries. they need to keep people spending their earned cash here. Your citizenship doesn't make any difference, it's not xenophobia or anything, just simple laws that people and companies here follow.

- taxes you mention are possible here too, it's super safe here even compared to rest of Europe (US is simply uncomparable) etc. If you are happy where you are, great for you! All you describe is from my view valid about Switzerland too.
Do users actually hate "app clutter"? I have plenty of apps I only use rarely, but when I need them, I need them. Space isn't a concern unless it's a huge game or downloads tons of media. 100MB or less is nothing.
No, people often use less-formal language when addressing an audience containing subject matter lay-persons and non-experts. Other people also just prefer informal prose; it's less intimidating.

Everyone's favorite faux pas, clip vs magazine, is a mostly useless distinction. Both items offer a similar functionality to decrease the reloading time of their respective guns^W firearms; and there is rarely a case where both a magazine and a clip exist for a particular gun^W firearm so it shouldn't be a cause for much confusion. It doesn't help the gun-nomenclature pedant's case that magazines are commonly marketed by gun/shooting retailers as "clips". Another one is bullet vs cartridge vs round but depending upon context bullet is the only one that is unambiguously connected to guns^W firearms.

I'm a gun^W firearm owner, and TBH I don't see a lot of diversity of opinion among firearm-rights activists; so while it might be easy in some cases to debate only those who share my interests, it isn't particularly productive. It's up to firearm-rights activists to accommodate debate from laypersons (and politely educate them if needed), just as doctors, scientists, and other experts must do so for respective laypersons they encounter in each of their fields.

Is the problem more that this is a feature, not a product? That is, integrated with expense report systems, tax management, any other business tools, this makes sense. But as a standalone, it feels like an island.

This was similar to TripIt which organized your trip based on parsing confirmations. At the end of the day, it was a great feature, but struggled to grow beyond a certain point as a product.

Love the idea behind Birdly... but I think it belongs in other apps/tools used for more frequent and broader business needs. (i.e., here's hoping for a great acquisition and adoption for you!)
China is already deploying nuclear reactors, while their population may be emotionally afraid of them, they have a system whereby they can deploy by fiat. That isn't true in the US and much of Europe.

although i love the fact that this is a dutch startup (waves the red-white-blue) I really feel paying real money for newspaper articles, some persons opinion and so forth is not really going to happen in a world where such content is readily available for free. and a world where you have to go to some trouble to avoid getting it basically thrown at you. In fact I'd pay quite a bit for a service which guarantees to keep me isolated from this kind of content.

Sorry, but this article is pointless. There are no numbers whatsoever, everything can be squeezed down to "if it's not a messenger or a game¹, people won't use it", and there's not even meaningful comparison to any alternative approaches. Like the users that forgot the app magically won't forget to talk to that Slack bot once in a month.

Literally, this article is nothing but an advertising for a refreshed product, with some wanna-be-viral-marketing attempt at sparking discussion by somewhat controversial statement of "not on app store". (Uh, sorry for being cynical here, but seriously...)

My first thought - someone should do this with Java as well. One could argue that Java developers are held hostage by IDE's stuck in the past.

As a Java developer, I'm given a platform when all I needed was something a lot simpler. Note that autocompletion is not enough to efficiently code in Java though (especially Java EE), you need a bit more - but the current IDE's are relics of the past.

My personal opinion is that IntelliJ is the best IDE out there, but I'd like to see a vast simplification of your typical Java development environment.

Who says you need those build tools? That has nothing to do with sane package management, which is what composer provides. Composer doesn't require you to have any dependencies and you can use a library that supports composer in the exact way you described. It's just a JSON config file, there is absolutely no reason to not set it up - not having "dependencies" is not a valid reason.
Haha, you're right. It's not anti-semitism, it's anti-zionism.

I fully agree with what you've said, and unfortunately it's a stereotype permeated by the IT Sweatshops of TCS, Infosys et al.

I was brought up in an Urban city, English is the only language I've learnt right from childhood and continue to do so, the language that I'm most fluent in. (yes I can't read or write my native tongue). I do agree that lying on resumes is widespread that some of us (who believe we're upto snuff in our fields) don't bother to bring resumes to job interviews, usually we're contacted by recruiters/hiring teams based on our past projects.
Saving four hours a month is great, and if you have a captive audience who is being told to use the mobile app to submit expenses, that will force adoption.

Trying to get individual users to adopt a workflow is going to be much harder.

The target audience for the mobile app might not be the users themselves, but their managers.

Also, your workflow of using Slack to enter expenses, which looks awesome btw, might actually be easier for people to use than stopping midstream to use a mobile app.
What would be the difference between "renewing" and running the script twice? There's no distinction made when I buy certificates from another CA.
It's worth noticing that this is not only an app problem. When it comes to Corporate systems, the fact that a user has to work with different systems is incredibly painful. In fact, it's so painful that having 1 person managing the system and everybody else just sending email requests to this person works wonderfully.

One thing they could have tried is human support. Like let's give them a human who takes care of things or helps out or is always available to give training.

I don't really see how much good can come from this season of the podcast if they've chosen such a politically polarized subject. Surely they know there's very little chance the program will be judged on its merits; instead, I fear people will use it as another way to wedge themselves against one another, making for more unfriendly/uncomfortable political discussions between friends and family.

There's already been much ballyhoo about his role as a "traitor" and a "coward," and it seems very few on the political right even valued his life enough to trade him for a few prisoners. Is this podcast meant to change their minds? Studies typically show that facts make people more entrenched in their opinions. What, then, should we expect of the subjective opinions of the target of their derision?

EDIT: Quotes around 'traitor', 'coward'.

And what has it been like moving to Slack? Are people using Birdly more?
I agree journalists are a potential audience for materials produced by marketing, but that's not the same thing as PR.

If you ever want a free firework display, tell any PR professional that their role is a subset of marketing... don't forget to stand well back when you light that particular touchpaper though!
I think that you need to move that quotation mark one token right.

One could instance India's intervention in the then East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh; the always bad relations between India and Pakistan had plenty to do with it, but I don't think were the deciding factor. It has been a while since that was in the news, though, and I haven't read up on it since.

Transmeta is more a traditional VLIW processor which is a bit different in some ways that EPIC. On an Itanium you're indicating to the chips that these N instructions can take place on the same clock cycle (even if they're spread out across multiple cycles in theory) and there are some nifty tricks with trying to reduce memory latency variability.

Transmeta had what's known as an exposed pipeline VLIW design. If you tell the multiplier to do it's thing and put the result in Register 6 then you can still read the previous value from register 6 until the multiplication is done. So you always need to recompile for each version of the hardware.

I think you have to consider just how much better Atlassian's products are than the typical large enterprise software. (HP Quality Center anyone?)

These large enterprises are waking up to the reality of SaaS and better software. Mature SaaS software with a well-oiled enterprise support machine (Atlassian) is much more comfortable step for a large organization to take than switching to a newer/better, but a lesser known player.

For me the main pain point of expenses is feeding the data into the archaic web app the company uses for expenses and matching every receipt with the right project number and project activity. Any solution that doesn't remove my need to interact with that web app isn't solving my main problem.

They don't offer this plan in the US, which is the only place this GPM subscription is available, so it isn't relevant to the discussion, and the tone is unnecessarily hostile to boot.
Didn't read what he was saying. But free speech does not shield you from the consequences from other people i.e I can certainly censor him in my home. The USA government cannot censor him of course, up to a certain point. The government can censor your free speech if it consists of you yelling fire in a crowded movie theater, or so the theory goes. Trump getting a Yuuuuuuge amount of hate from the people is part of their right to free speech.

Yet the UI for Google Play Music is atrocious. People I give it to that aren't familiar take forever. Myself, despite using it all the time (earphones, casting, car BT) find it frustrating. Hit back a few times no woops too many, OK now I can swipe out the menu and select my library and deal with the ridiculous amounts of scrolling. Sigh.

The hilarious thing is their Wikipedia scraping. Every time I select an artist I'm treated to some lame-style photo, and half the screen gets to tell me "Nirvana was a grunge band from Aberdeen with Kurt.....". Gee thanks Google, that was worth complicating the UI.

Playlist management is also worse than Windows Media Player. Like, how do you get that wrong?

This deal is sweet and I'd buy today, but Google is psycho when it comes to regions. Since it randomly thinks I'm in France or Hungary when in Denver, plus I travel between Canada and Guatemala, my guess is that features will randomly stop working or switch language. Otherwise, cool.
It would be great if you didn't put words in my mouth, though your snark did offer a good clarification. A full 25% of the Israeli citizenry are not Jews, and plenty of Jews travel in Arab countries without any (bureaucratic) problems, so you're still in the wrong with your conflation.
This looks like someone trying to take the blame of failure out of their shoulders.

The questions are right, the answers are wrong. The app did not (judging by the text, I never heard of it before) add the value they thought. Maybe it did not even work as well as they thought. Actually, I doubt that.

I won't argue too much into it, instead I will give you counterexamples:

1. I should be on the target audience, and I have never heard of the app before.
2. Concur seems to be doing really fine, working on the same problem - so they have either a better marketing or a better solution.

Bottomline: don't shy people away of doing anything because you failed.

This is a productivity app, and productivity apps are a real hard sell on mobile. Think about it, you're asking someone to embed a particular piece of software directly into their life. It has to provide so much value over not having any app that they have to remember to use to make using it a no-brainer.

Your app isn't really competing against other productivity apps, it's competing against the fact that an app is not going to be most people's best approach for improving their lives. The process of integrating a tool with life is not fun, it takes work and there's only so much that things like reminders can do for you.

I use two productivity apps on my phone. Reminders and the one I'm building. It's an ongoing experiment in how one can use software to improve life. Right now the only thing I've managed to integrate is spending tracking, and even that took months of back and forth consideration. Do I want to tag individual expenditures? How do I want to categorize them? How do I want to add an expenditure to a category? What should I call the act of spending something and what should I call the category? How do I want my reports to look like? Do I want reports in the database, or should they be generated dynamically? How should I represent common transactions that I do every day in a way that doesn't clutter up the main interface?

The whole exercise has left me unenthused about productivity software as a viable product category. Adding an expenditure now is easy as pie, for me, and only me. All of the work I had to do to figure out how I spend money and how I should build an app to manage it essentially has to be redone for every single person who wants to use software to help them manage their life. The domain seems simple, but it's actually incredibly complicated, because it's different for everyone.
Why unsolicited?

User had set up an app that they care about just once a month, and that's a long time, so reminders are actually helpful - from end-user perspective. I have an app that I run about just once in a few months, and I'm actually grateful that it does ping me.

I was completely thinking this same thing before I started listening. Now, even just 11 minutes into the first episode, I'm changing my opinion.

The Blogger editor was so bad, for writing a blog with any amount of code snippets, that I got frustrated enough to bail on Blogger entirely and write a simple hand-rolled blog engine. There was absolutely no way to get it to not mangle the resulting content - even directly editing the HTML wasn't really reliable.
The purpose of the show would be to try to tell the story as fully as they can. The first season did not present itself as a way to exonerate Syed, but rather an attempt to explore the case.

I think it's a good choice to switch to a more well known story. What comes of it remains to be seen. For all we know, Sarah Koenig will end season 2 firmly convinced that Bergdahl is a traitor and should rot in prison.
