I've done 4 Flow Club sessions and have really enjoyed it.
I get the folks saying they'd be distracted and I thought the camera would throw me off (and you can turn it off if you want), but I got used to it right away and have been pretty productive during my sessions.
I'm working solo from home, so having others there has been energizing.
The people in my sessions seem to most commonly use Flow Club to get through work that they don't want to do or something they've been putting off.
California Dreamin' (YC W18) | Marketing Manager, Operations Associate | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE
We’re California Dreamin’ and we’re introducing the mainstream to cannabis beverages with our California Dreamin’ line of low dose, all natural cannabis sodas.
We believe that the future of cannabis consumption is through beverages and that the current market of heavily dosed edible products (think 100mg drinks and 1000mg cookies) only serves a small segment of the potential mainstream market.
About the product:
California Dreamin’ is a delicious all natural cannabis soda being distributed across California through our retail partners. Made simply of fruit juice, cannabis, and carbonation, our drinks are carefully crafted to give you a light social high. California Dreamin’ is the first product line and brand of many that we plan to produce.
I’m a Shogun fan. I was on a tight deadline to design, build, and launch our new site on Shopify. Designing a new site is enough work without introducing new functionality through apps you’ve never used before, especially in the time frame I had. Not the recommended way to do things with so many ways it could go wrong, but this was just the situation.
Shogun was an important factor in me hitting the deadline as it was very easy to learn and build with. There are a lot of page builders out there, and many hit a solid level of functionality, so it can hard to describe why Shogun is better.
For me, the difference is the speed that I can build a good design at. The UI, prebuilt templates, and backend speed all helped me move faster than with other page builders. While I haven’t used their support, a lot of their reviews on Shopify talk about how good it is (one reason I decided to take a look at the app)
Hey! I run marketing for Periscope Data, a data explorer/dashboard product. We have a lot of customers using postgres and get compared to Looker a lot. We focus on optimizing for the analyst whereas tools like Looker focus on business users. We have a lot of features for business users, but chart creation is all SQL based.
I run marketing for Periscope. Like Chartio, you guys have a great product. We routinely send people your way when they have more business user needs and aren’t a good fit for Periscope.
For those evaluating tools like Periscope/Looker/Chartio:
Whereas Looker focuses on business users, we’ve built Periscope around serving SQL analysts better than anyone else.
If you don't have someone who knows SQL on your team, Looker (or Chartio) is probably a better fit. (though I should mention that some customers have learned SQL through our customer support :)
We’re focused on the SQL analysts who are building dashboards and running reports, day in, day out. With that said, every one of our customers has employees who don’t know SQL, but need to dive into their data. So we’ve built a ton of features to make this easy as well.

I second the Watsi recommendation. The combination of their transparency, their 100% donation distribution, and clearly showing me who gets my money/what they get it for has made me comfortable giving to a non-local charity for the first time in years.
Haha, I loved that search results pipe! The product was amazing at the time. It's really too bad that Yahoo didn't try to make something more out of it.
It doesn't make sense and wouldn't for a while. I don't think the potential would justify the market overlap, the work surrounding an acquisition of that size, and the risk of pissing off other large partners that Pinterest needs right now. Pinterest is still in the very early stages of monetizing and I'd imagine they want to get the current stuff right first.
Yes, US citizens have to pay tax no matter where they live. You may be eligible for the Foreign Tax Credit[1] or, even better, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion[2], though. For 2015, you can exclude up to $100,800 of your earnings with the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which will cover most if not all of your salary (for the majority of people).

I originally wrote it for marketers, but decided to translate it for more of a technical audience, so let me know if anything doesn't make sense.
