Hey, that's pretty great. I didn't get a chance to test it out with another person, but I'm so happy to see WebRTC being used to keep things so simple for users. Also, nice hold music :D
Looks cool! Will remember if I'm ever needing shiny documents. I agree with those who support a one-off transaction option. (For example, I love PlaceIt and don't pay them monthly, but they might be doing good business from people like me anyway. I see those in the same boat.)
Side question: Any advice for a stats junkie wanting to transition into data science? I did graduate statistics on small data sets so I'm missing the big data piece of the puzzle.
As someone who frequently hires Wordpress freelancers, I offer this:
Don't 'sell' the client on using Wordpress relative to other frameworks. They don't need to know the complete power and limitations of the WP ecosystem; that's your job (in their eyes). Just say 'yes.'
>Can I add products later? Yes.
>Can I add pages? Yes.
>Can I add coupons? Yes.
>Does it have SEO? Yes.
It's easy work for someone like you with sysadmin and PHP skills. Your client will love how quickly you can diagnose whatever problems they're having.
I applaud this effort! It seems to me that templating is the thing that the Wordpress ecosystem could most easily borrow from more recent development workflows. Probably makes life a lot easier for newbies to the Wordpress world, too. Cheers!
I'm tired of seeing these headlines based on one employee's departure. I'm not here to defend Valve by any means, but any sufficiently large organization will have the feature in Ellsworth's words that "it is human nature that they will minimize the work that they do and increase the control that they have," regardless of the structure. With that in mind, I think it's equally naive to think that (a) Valve has done something wrong with its organizational structure and (b) any other organization with "more" structure than Valve is doing something wrong. As much as it's become a line for dismissing people in Silicon Valley for a variety of reasons, "lack of (cultural) fit" can be a real thing.
I'm super happy to see Segment go in this direction. All the e-commerce tagging was the hardest to do and yet the most valuable for analysts. And hooray for making more stuff free!
I "see" some game images after I quit playing. I wouldn't call it "hallucinating," to use the headline's word, but I do have images of DDR or puzzle games or 2048 dance in my head after stopping playing.
I'm intuitively guessing that there's more geographic variance in rent prices than in coworking or food. Everyone will have different ameliorating factors in different cities, like friends or in-laws, and I'd argue that splitting out the NomadCost creates more mental work for a visitor than is necessary for the purposes of comparing cities to one another.

I am seriously pessimistic. This merger is about wireless, not wireline.
Yes, Japan has fantastic wireline broadband and Son had a lot to do with breaking open Japan's market (after NTT's lines were made the equivalent of a common carrier). However, Japan also has just 3 mobile carriers and of them, SoftBank is universally panned for the worst reception, lowest LTE speeds, and worst customer service.
There is no reason to believe Son will increase competition in wireless by reducing the US market to 3 carriers.
I bet it will. The open-source competitive shooters I can think of (Warsaw, Quake3's Challenge Pro Mode mod [in the sense that it was designed by community]) all had interesting and complex movement schemes.
And since we now have Github, all that awesomeness is just a pull request away...
A few fun ways this also looks like turn-of-the-century FPS world:
-We could see an FPS rise in eSports prominence again
-Mods built on top of one game create tons of variety accessible to one player base
-Mod developers have an easy way to become recognized game developers
Also, not related to the old Quake / UT / Half-Life scenes, but the marketplace for assets will be on top of a game that isn't Team Fortress 2, so there's much more creative latitude once mods are released (disclaimer: I love TF2).
In Japan, water is commonly heated by gas-powered flash heaters. In that apartment, the heater was controlled digitally and there were up/down buttons that would change the temperature by 1 degree Celsius.
It would remember the most recent setting between uses, so all I had to do was remember my favorite number, ensure it was set to that number upon start, and hop in.
It was simpler in function than a Nest and much less pretty, but it was functional and got me the water temperature I wanted.
edit: I'm taking my own advice and would like to congratulate you on launching and trying to drive some social good via startups. Good luck!
