I don't think it's just google+. I noticed my gmail account logging me into youtube yesterday. I've avoided opening a google+ account so as to avoid that kind of thing from happening, I have remained logged out of my gmail account since.

1. Do you think anyone would use my MVP or service?

Depends on whether you build it or not. If you don't build it, the probability of its success is zero. If you do build it, the probability of its success is nonzero.

2. Have I missed any other market segments?

Yup. All of them! You miss 100% of the shots you don't try.
Awesome. I am thinking about dropping less for Stylus. Is there a library of common things like text-shadow, box shadow, gradients and the like?

Agreed, there are no services offering recurring payments (in Europe anyway) that do the whole thing, and I would love to outsource more if I could since billing is a nuisance that just detracts so much from the actual business. We currently use PayPal but that doesn't even allow you to pro-rate subscriptions when up- or downgrading. I noticed in the API docs that stripe.com at least has that one covered already.

The smartphone market is mature. I don't believe people are going to be buying iPhones at the same rate they used to in the past-- i.e. once every new year or once every 2 years. With less turnover, Apple has to rely much more on selling services and market share. It's probably going to migrate much higher in years for the average consumer.

I'd also argue that your assumptions on the purchasing of services may not give apple enough credit. If someone was just buying it for a phone and didn't plan to buy icloud, music, videos etc, then they probably wouldn't be buying an iPhone to begin with. A cheaper phone that is still up to date, gets apple in the game so they can convert a lot of these "phone only users" to buyers of their services.
Good luck with that. If you name your company after a common word, guess what, other people can still use that word. Don't use the court system to make up for your own poor planning.

Not to mention this "microcommit" approach in your feature branch allows you a fine level of control over your working branch without polluting the master branch (because of the squash). We use this one at work, and I do on my own personal projects as well. Never have I been happier with a VCS than I am with git after moving to this workflow.
hey there, I m not a really experienced developer probably at the same level as you but with Python. Anyways, I ve been told that one of the best ways is through GitHub.Fork a project, then work on it. YOu could ask developers's advice since people can follow you and you can follow them. It s an awesome tool!

More proof that Javascript 1.5 is runs soooo much faster than Flash. Who said you couldn't write a 3D game engine with no variable types and no class inheritance? Thanks to Apple and Microsoft, the impossible is now your only option! Get crackin', there's a lot of good code to port backwards to a language that should have been obsolete in 2001 if you want to target the mobile web!
Google, from another view, is trying to standardize on one id(google+) across all it's systems. It makes their data mining results better hence better targeted ads. Wonder when they will announce that Buzz is dead

Well, I can imagine google linking +1 with likes on Youtube, like/share/star On google reader, star on google groups and so on.

If so, it will also make google plus a lot more useful, as your interactions on Google+ already affect, in a positive way IMHO, your Google search results.

The privacy implications are enormous though.
This is a very interesting article! I do think that he makes a very good point that if you are already 90% vested, why be so concerned about dilution? I definitely think that, as founders, when we get liquidity we need to make sure the people that helped get us where we are get a slice as well.

After all, we aren't the only people that make a company succeed.
i love the absolute shit of gmail, and im in this situation where i am willing to pay for it to not bother me to with g+ youtube.
I do not want to go back to thunderbird but gmail is creeping me more and more. The best part is i recommended it to all my friends and stood on googles side on more then one occasion.

Is there a space for a startup that will make a gmail alternative. There is toons of saas startups but none in this space.
I tell myself that this is exactly why its so important to be very selective in choosing what you work on. Its harder to give up if you really believe in what you are doing.

Display ad builders are generally pretty bad, imho. I've used pretty much every one under the sun and I think you're better served by using something like 99designs to get banners made.

Generally, you'll get a better overall banner from something like that. However, the Yahoo display network banner builder does have one great thing: it shows the CTR for an ad template. That can help identify templates that are winners, but take that number with a grain of salt as well.
Likewise, I keep all my git repos backed up to Time Machine. As long as I'm at my desk, I can never lose more than an hour's worth of work. I don't think I'll ever understand git well enough to solely rely on it.
This is the next logical step. Most people are already performing social and stream worthy actions all over google properties, it makes sense for them to provide users with a public forum for their display.

Although I'm still not sure google has easy route to mass collection of the holy grail of social content: photos.

I don't believe I have ever heard anybody say "The only thing I enjoy more than the 45 minutes I spend commuting to work is the 45 minutes I spend commuting back." I'm sure there's somebody who feels that way, but I don't think it's a lot of people.
The special one-time-dividend to vested early stockholders seemed a little fishy when I noticed in Groupon's S-1... but maybe it's just an efficient way to reward existing value without larger dilution/valuation.

If employees with unexercised but vested options were given a heads-up that such an unusual early dividend was coming – so that they too could choose to qualify – that might address much of Palihapitiya's concern about fairness.

If it's so DANGEROUS why isn't there some kind of active display filter available to dampen temporal frequencies between 2 and 55Hz?

That, and--though it wouldn't have helped in this case--the most I heard about epilepsy complaints is on forums with flashy animated GIF images. Why do they browse with GIF animation enabled? Really, if it's such a health hazard, and images posted on a forum can give you dangerous seizures, why would you take a risk and trust on the goodwill of the community and take your chances with the occasional troll?

I don't want to dismiss the problem, not at all, I just wonder about the victim mentality displayed and lack of proactiveness.

Especially the display filter. If it's an actual health hazard, you shouldn't be asking people not to show flashing imagery on their sites, you should be taking action yourself, making sure your computer display is unable to display this imagery. Any kind of modern 3D GFX card should easily be able to detect flashing areas and dampen and/or motion blur them so they're safe, without much processing power needed. You'll be erring on the side of caution of course, so some video content might be degraded (though with a well-designed filter this should be minimal) so you'll want a key-combo to (at your own risk) temporarily disable the filter (with a parental lock for the children, of course).

I'm probably wrong or misunderstanding the whole issue, but if it is true that new investors are simply paying early stockholders a special dividend, then wouldn't that make this a Ponzi Scheme?
Heya, yes, bugs are completely unacceptable. Trust me, the git project completely understands this.

Not really. I am not a lawyer but it seems to me that is not the case.

Employee stock options are meant not to be exercised until they are saleable. When you can them early in a private company your capital is locked up in a dead asset yet you have to pay capital gains taxes. The dividend would have to be huge.

Further watch out for insider trading. The value of the stock when the option was struck has to price in the promised dividend.

Perhaps a rethink is needed of bringing the public sentiment into the equation by making this communique open. I appreciate that it does shed more light into the strong dilution resistant finance. However, the round particulars are private and the fair play would go privately to the guys with it.

Seems to be a lot of this going around these days.
While we could argue back and forth about whether it technically is a Ponzi scheme, whether that definition fits or not, it's profoundly problematic. We already exist in a relatively volatile industry that has seen it's fair shares of bubbles and busts. We don't need to add another unethical and chaotic variable to the pile.
I think the interesting question here is who leaked this email to allthingsd. If the VC really wanted to give the Airbnbs a heads up (as he makes it sound in the email ... take care, let's keep in touch, etc) then I don't think there was any necessity to leak this and I am quite sure the Airbnbs wouldn't want it out in the open either.

And then... the Groupon comparison kind of sticks in your mind, doesn't it? I don't know, I get the feeling there is more behind this ...
most normal people that use a google account already have a single account they use for gmail, google maps, google search, youtube, etc.

They have long had account integration across properties.

What they have never had was very much of a functional integration across properties.
> Unfortunately, it looks like you just committed everything that changed on both branches and the history can be difficult to track and/or confusing.

I don't think this is really true. You'll just introduce a single merge commit on top of both your commits and the other person's. Yes, if you diff that merge against your own work, you'll see all the work that other people committed, but I think it's fairly well understood that a merge commit is just that - you merging your changes with other changes.

It can be a bit tricky to read the log when merge commits are involved, but try the --graph option or a graphical log tool.
San Jose - BVI Networks (bvinetworks.com). INTERN, H1B welcome.

If you run an e-commerce website, you probably use google analytics, mixpanel or similar to track your customers and do some funnel analysis, A/B testing etc to optimize your site.

If you run a physical retail store though, you're out of luck. How many people walk into my store and leave frustrated, without buying anything? Why isn't my hot new item selling - is no one seeing it, or are they seeing it but not buying because the price is too high? There's no easy way to find answers to these today.

Not having cookies or IPs makes tracking in the real-world a real challenge! We primarily acquire data through machine vision algorithms that run against video cameras in the stores and identify and track people, but we also use data from a host of other technologies (RFID, WiFi, Zigbee, etc) to get the full picture.

We just closed our series B, and are scaling very fast. We use C/C++, Java, Python and Flex. Our product runs on Linux. We like super-smart generalist hackers who like working on a variety of things - UI development, machine vision algorithms, AI, data mining/analytics on big data (last month we tracked nearly 2M people worldwide!).

Parent's idea plus this would be nice. At least make it a pinned thread through the first day of the week.
I'm really late to this party but I want to stress a. Point that doesn't get mentioned often enough:

Do not use "cp". Please.

Copying changes to save them and reapply later is nearly guaranteed to quietly lose changes, reintroduce removed code, or otherwise screw up your work.

If you want to move changes stash them or commit them and then apply them elsewhere. Using cp throws out all of git's ability to help you do what you mean and not what you say.

Also, the data corruption was caused by a bug, yes, but the cp based workflow being used will result in a nasty suprise sometime in the future.
I'd love to see one of these python MR approaches get some traction, until then I expect most companies will be following Facebook's approach of putting data into HDFS/Hive and then using Python, or whatever, to parse the output of HiveQL.

This is not the definition of a Ponzi Scheme, you should probably look it up on wikipedia.

But I do agree with the article, dividend's like this are not the spirit of building a good company. Just founders who want a huge pay-day. I would have understood 1m-4m, but not 21m, thats a huge percentage of their investment.

Neat! I love how it can figure out what (possibly discontiguous) areas give the required commute time by transit. Doesn't seem to have any apartments, though.

EDIT: It finds apartments in New York; maybe it just doesn't work in Canada. Which is odd, given Craigslist works fine in Canada and it figures out commute times in Canada.
My hunch is that for early-enough employees the dividend value could dwarf the exercise price, making the decision to exercise a no-brainer.

Maybe I'll find some nice command line email client that I can get to work on different OSes/cross platform. That's the main head scratcher for now, it was too easy to forget just how well gmail as a web app works on any given system. Friends have offered me money to set up an email service for them, they'd trust me before google. It's not sufficient motivation for me. At least they know what they signed up for.

At the moment I don't mind using google's infrastructure, I have had an overhanging inclination to get away from their services since Buzz happened. Convenience prevailed! Even without the new auto signup/login, they already have my IP indexed usage stats which could be joined on my gmail logged in IP address/cookie, but to have it out in the open like this probably allows third parties to go looking for it. This new development is linking your real name with what you consume on youtube. I have no interest in giving up that info so easily.
This is awesome!
