All of the people in the video who are using the app and responding to the alert are actual users who have been actively participating in our beta in New York City.
We debated whether to leave those statistics in, even though we're citing major sources. You can look at these statistics from different angles.
Our main point is that there is still a real and often growing problem with violent crime, especially in the communities we're working with. Many people still feel very unsafe and are looking for solutions.
We've gotten a lot of positive feedback both from police and civilians. People are excited to see a tech company trying to help, and they have told us they feel safer when others are recording the scene in a peaceful and unbiased way. During our beta tests we had users help deter crime, break up fights, and support their neighbors.
I do the same thing. The article described my sentiments exactly... I feel like I'm missing out on something. Especially for a bigger purchase, a 10% off coupon can save $100-200 and is worth waiting for sometimes
Is it possible that the app review teams were instructed to find a reason to reject all apps in a given category for a month or two leading up to the release of iOS7? Were other weather-related apps approved recently?
I feel this way with respect to sites that I am forced to sign up for just to view the demo. Sites that I will never use again ... I don't want them being my best friend yet.
If I've tried the demo and I am actually signing up to use your site, this type of email would be tolerable, but again, I generally don't want to engage with the company unless I have an issue.
The only time I can see this being welcome to me is in a B2B context where I have signed a longer-term contract for a solution that my business will need support for.
I've never heard a negative complaint from an Uber driver either (sample size ~10 drivers). I have never used Instacart because I'm not in the Bay area.
I would also add that it is much easier for Uber to roll up their charges and markups into one fee (only one service provided and consumer generally has a wider range of acceptable cost) than it is for Instacart to do so (multiple products, easy to estimate cost of a loaf of bread).
I needed Advil today at my client site in Arizona and wished desperately that I could use Instacart. Also wanted to buy my girl some simple flowers and get them sent to her back home in L.A... FTD minimum for flowers is like $50 - there are so many times I wish I could use this service... can't wait to see how it takes off and expands to more products and areas.
I had a similar situation when collaborating with a team on a video project during a high school internship. Somehow I managed to delete the entire timeline accounting for hours of editing work that my boss had put in. To this day I don't know how it happened, I just looked down and all the clips were gone from the timeline. In the end, I think we found some semblance of a backup, and at least we didn't lose the raw data/video content, but I can relate to the out-of-body experience that hits you when you realize you just royally screwed up your team's progress and there's nothing you can do about it.
