But it still doesn't have that sweet spring-loaded slider :(

This is a great step in the right direction (in terms of providing more information, access to plans, etc...). However, keep this disclaimer in mind when using this tool (hat off to the team for making it visible and written in non-gibberish lingo) :

This is awesome, and I like seeing more tools/research pop-up on the theme "how skewed my filter bubble actually is" (here, in terms of gender, but there are also nifty things for political views, etc...).
It's too bad that this tool fell a bit short for me (and I don't actually blame the algo or the maker, given the data) :
People I follow : non-binary 1% (5), men 76% (328, no surprises...

Incredibly relevant : http://a16z.com/2016/12/16/the-end-of-cloud-computing/
TL;DR is "how computation [read "ML"] will move back to the edge [devices]". QED (or maybe this was a self-realizing prophecy from a16z and Apple is just following whatever they say ^^").

Awesome idea ! Definitely something I searched for a long time and something I thought Streak or other small CRMs would include that as a basic functionality, but no (I tried multiple times though). It even joined the top list of my "side projects that I would definitely start...tomorrow" :D
I started testing it today with my first notes taken already. I would love to be able to keep more...

Looks great ! I totally agree that having a coffee should be as simple as getting a cup of tea + I would totally use this for backpacking trips (instead of having to carry filters + coffee + the whole kitchen tools) ! Depending on your coffee though, I might prefer buying your filters only and adding my own coffee instead, but we'll see :)

I have been using Kifi for more than a year, and it's become an essential productivity tool for me & the team. Typical use cases are keeping track of competitors (esp with the Slack integration), sharing ideas and news with the team, and overall sharing knowledge (Stack Overflow & the likes, or your internal knowledge base). The big plus compared to other tools is that you are basically...

@ricknucci Since I have been struggling with that problem myself for a while, I think it's a very very compelling product ! Congrats on the amazing ideas (and I am trying the execution right now) :)
Notes :
-this is a problem that exists not only to onboard new employees, but also to maintain knowledge across the company for existing employees (I can't tell how many times I got asked the same...

I think that's a book best read after books like The Black Swan, to also keep a critical eye on the couple of fallacies that the authors probably fell in. I always had the feeling that this book told awesome stories, but needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as those stories are just that (insert comment about correlation vs causation, etc...).
In short : read this book, but don't forget to...
