NPR is loaded with programming that isn't just news-related. This includes musical programming, comedy, special interest programs, and topical shows. Listeners to NPR already know this. They filter what they want to hear by turning the radio on and off.

NPR's news segments are top notch journalism. You'd be hard-pressed to find another media institution as large as NPR in the US that does nearly as good of a job in my opinion.
I think you miss the problem here. There is very little confusion between BoltBus and Bolt.co in the sense that they are in completely different industries and the likelihood of confusion is low.

As bolt.co is claiming, there are many people who appear to be confused between instagram's offering and the company's product (they are arguably in the same space and possibly competitors).
I wish them luck, although using the name of a common machine part as a brand is kind of asking for collisions. I'm also not sure it's wise to base one of your first steps in a potential legal battle on an open letter based on leaked information...

This is all well and good, but why does everyone need to have their own damn app?

This is the biggest problem with audio apps these days - you get everyone trying to make a similar thing, and because they're all competing they all try and lock each other out of their own products.

What would be so much better is a content-agnostic platform, that'll let you play whatever the hell you want - whether it's music, talk radio, podcasts, whatever.

Seriously - why does everyone assume that if I want to listen to e.g. NPR, I only want to listen to NPR?
It also seems that bolt.co and Instagram's Bolt are much more similar to each other (apps dedicated to person→person communication)

I disagree. A web browser is used for person to person communication too. All three are used for very, very different forms of it, though.

I think there would be no issue with it if he had not used trademark names and logos. API calls to youtube, pulling up a channel, playing videos... if Youtube/Google doesn't have a policy like Apple to not allow apps that duplicate their apps functionality, I don't see how it could be a problem. Most probably is that problem arose with trademark infringement. This is a serious issue since 3rd party using your trademark without authorization can tarnish your carefully crafted design/brand experience as well as confuse customers.

The difference is that Instagram is trying to build a similar product with the same name, whereas the mentioned bus company is just a bus company that has a few stops in the United States. So most of the people living on this world will never even get chance to confuse the two of them.
The weight of the model S is pretty much irrelevant in day to day driving. Handling is fantastic.

Python Patterns needs your help
I agree totally. The problem is, I haven't been able to find one single content-agnostic app that does any of this very well. Either it's iPhone only. Or Android only. Or iPhone and Android but no web app. Or it doesn't sync my last listening position, or sometimes even what I've listened to at all. Or any other number of very basic things I'd expect an app like this to have.
While in school I spent 7 months in a co-op for a company that manufactured steel food cans. Although at the time I never challenged the need for circular cans I can say that manufacturing would be much more challenged for cube cans.

Metal likes to be formed by rolling, and it's relatively easy to image how cans are cut to length, passed through a die and seam welded. Obviously that's a lot of capital for one can size so round dies are easily swapped for various size cans on the same line. Forming stamped and bent edges would be much more intensive for changeovers.

Lids would require directional placement:
Round shapes fit in all directions, pretty clear here that any other shape would require it to be directionally correct.

Can liners are sprayed:
The inside of your cans are coated to protect the food, corners are harder to maintain an even sprayed coating

There are plenty of others I'm sure and this is a rambling post but maybe it gives a little more insight into the world of cans.

In light of all these "iron dome doesn't work" articles, this is some great propaganda (intentional or not) that the system is effective enough to be stolen and copied.
Show HN: Hinder – Tinder for HN
Postol says maybe 5% of the Iron Dome rockets destroy their targets. A CNN page claimed 95%. This latest Krebs article has the IDF saying 20%.

This whole argument smells like a modern military getting everybody to believe that "Iron Dome is 95% effective", just like everybody knows that the Patriot system was 95% or more effective during Desert Storm I. Or like everybody knows that WMD were found in Iraq after the USA invaded.

That is, Iron Dome is more of a propaganda tool than a real defense system, or maybe its more of a way to funnel money to Rafael and IAI than a real defense system. I doubt we'll ever know. Statistically speaking, there's only a few real secrets, but there's lots and lots of career-ending blunders, accounting oddities, and systems gaming.

I tested "Fetch" and "Fetch and Render" with "Fetch" returning the raw HTML, and "Fetch and Render" displaying exactly how it would in a browser.

Should I assume that Google can properly index Javascript now, or is that still in the territory of "just because they can, doesn't mean they will"?
I don't really understand in what way this would be considered a similar product; aside from the fact it's a mobile app, they don't seem to overlap.

>If this catches on, it might disintermediate the local public radio stations,

Just glancing at the app, I don't think there is anything here that you couldn't currently do in the NPR app ecosystem. For example there is already an NPR app that lets you choose radio stations or just programs from around the world and a lot of local stations built their own, independent app (though in my experience those are lower quality)

Toyota is the name of the founder, though the transliteration is archaic. We'd spell it "Toyoda" today.
I agree with the annoyance of everyone and their mother wanting their own app, but NPR seems like a big enough piece of a lot of folks entertainment/news lives that it makes sense. (I say this as someone who never listens to NPR.)

The question is whether the product is used frequently enough and can actually make use of a custom interface, compared to whether a more generic app would actually provide value. If I would use the generic app to listen to NPR 95% of the time, then it probably makes more sense to dedicate the app to NPR and just use a web browser for the other 5%.

Reversing XKCD, it's probably better to think of apps as slightly heavy and custom websites. There's really not much loss in having lots more apps so long as they're lighweight. Throw them all into a folder on your homescreen.

> It tugs the emotions the right way

Yes, if the intended emotions were frustration and despair.

> I'm not sure it would have achieved this effect with a simple static HTML + CSS page.

Maybe not. It might require some use of Javascript to make some fancier animations and such. It could really use some reworking, though, in the sense of using HTML with a side of Javascript and CSS, rather than Javascript with a side of HTML and CSS.

The "About" page[0] is much better than the homepage, and with some reworking probably should have been used as the homepage instead. It looks so much cleaner and nicer. Incorporate some of the stuff from the homepage, and maybe one of the photos as a background, and it would be a huge improvement.

These are some difference with Full Contact:

- All Contactive API accesses are real time. If we have the data, we will return it right away, if we don't, we will try to find it as soon as we can and return it on the same API request. Full Contact uses the callback pattern, where they notify when they are able or not to resolve the information on a separate call (if they dont have it at the moment of query).

- Contactive not only gives you social network identities, it also gives you aggregated and prioritized data, like the job history of someone, or the list of pictures. This data is returned in the best possible way to be displayed. This saves time from developers because they do not have to make any effort prioritizing each field of the many sources we return.

- Contactive also gives you HTML rendering of a contact, allowing you as a developer to embed it on a iframe. This allows you to integrate it in a web app in a matter of minutes.

> he thinks he can no longer write apps for Android, whereas it is obvious to me that you can put a .apk file up for download anywhere you want, and get paid by means other than Google Wallet.

He justifies this pretty well. Very few people are going to buy your app if it's an APK on a random website or even on another app store. The next biggest marketplace I can think of is Amazon's and it's still puny compared to Google Play. Without access to the main store it's not financially viable to develop for Android.

My personal preference is for the top-left logo to always bring a user back to the domain's top-level ignoring any sub-domains, though I'm not sure that could be considered best-practice.

This approach works for me though, because I find most company-blogs to have a much lower volume of published content than a website whose primary function is that of a blog. In most cases, I've wound up on the site from a direct-link to whatever blog post I'm reading. If what I've read in that post is interesting, I'm probably going to want to check out the product or service they're selling before reading any more of their company blog.
How many people remember bo.lt from 2011 ? https://www.facebook.com/getbolt
Instagram/Facebook is NOT going to do anything about the name. Just look at the history. Facebook launched an iOS app and called it "Paper." And guess what? There was a very popular app, which was called "Paper" too.

From recent cases I only remember Microsoft to change their mind in regards to their "Metro" OS. However, even in that case Microsoft decided to back off because "Metro" was a big retailer that sold Microsoft's products, so bad blood could cause bottom line to take a hit.
The article as a whole reads more like an advertisement for Product Hunt (e.g. PH's history + metric) than a chronicle of your experience.
My guess is that China isn't particularly interested in the Iron Dome. Sounds more like the UAVs and they got Iron Dome by dragnet as a sort of added bonus.
Probably true. Though BoltBus does have an iTunes and Android app, too.
The "So why not for everyone?" section is interesting, but misses the reason the tuna can is actually the worst shape on the list: it's optimized for surface area of the top and bottom of the can! Tuna is actually cooked in the can (retort cooking) and the high surface area is beneficial to this process.

Maybe not the most useful thing I learned in Calc 1, but the thing I remember best.
I always wondered the same thing, when I worked at aerospace companies. I mean, how much use can stolen blueprints be in inches and pounds to countries on the metric system? And that's just for starters. A lot of the time, the engineers barely understood what kept a vehicle together and functioning. How would a bunch of engineers from a completely different culture understand them?

Also, just copying is going to lead you down strange alleys. I can recall one proposed engineering change to a drawing so that the drawing had the actual bolt hole size on it, not some smaller size. Yes, that's right, the 15 year old drawing had smaller bolt holes specified than actually were on the real, physical hatches. Stuff like that
happens all the time. A simple copy might not be flightworthy, much less fit to assemble.
The key issue is over whether or not the mark has a widespread reputation/is well-known. If I am able to show my mark has either, then if someone makes use of a similar/identical mark but for completely different services/goods then I can restrain that other party's use if I can show that their use takes unfair advantage of my mark.

For example if Microsoft Combine Harvesters popped up, it would be relatively straightforward to argue that they are making use of the Microsoft mark for the sole purpose of attracting attention to its product, by effectively piggy-backing on the real Microsoft's reputation.

Proving reputation is difficult but generally you will have to show substantial investment in marketing/advertising in the relevant territories.

If I can't show reputation I am limited to actions for straight infringement (identical mark/identical services/goods) or confusion-based actions (similar mark/similar services/goods).

I would go to car lots and talk to as many salesmen as you can. You might find someone who's interested and they would have industry experience. Set a goal of 100 car lots and hit the pavement. When you're done you might not have a partner but you'll have a lot of data.

Then, choose another venue, lather, rinse, repeat. You just need to dedicate yourself to solving this priblem. Good luck.
ISCOC04 Talk
Finding a large software player in that market (or a similar one) is a good way to find a buyer.

-Find out who sells the big management systems. They often have projects that may extend into your market. It's cheaper for a big company to buy existing code that can be rebranded than to start from scratch, especially if you're willing to be flexible.

-Find consulting shops that work in that space with larger hotel chains. They might be able to sell this in and give you a success fee.

-Find a "founder" with sales/marketing experience willing to take this on as a real project. Lots of non-technical people in the space have connections, but no capital/product. You're basically bootstrapping their company with technology investment.

-See if there are 'resellers' or marketing reps that sell similar systems in the space. They might be willing to help you find a company that can market & support the product for you.

-Be flexible on how you get paid. For example, provide the code to market for 24 months for a percentage of gross sales. That would mitigate the buyer's risk, while still providing you with upside potential.

My experience in buying sites is that without customers, it's basically a huge risk, so prices are very low.
