The Most Overlooked Aspect Of UX Design Could Be The Most Important
Nov 22, 9:00PM
I’m not much of a designer. In fact, I’m awful at it. I am, however, interested in how it’s done. I read and write plenty about customer success; along the way, (somehow) I found Samuel Hulick’s site UserOnboard. His detailed descriptions of the user onboarding process in popular apps give designers an idea about how some of the most successful apps in the world keep… Read MorePOCIT: 7 LGBTQ Black Founders
Nov 22, 7:28PM
Welcome back to People Of Color In Tech. Earlier this year, the White House hosted its second-ever LGBTQ Tech and Innovation Summit. Though, this year was the first time the White House made the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer event public and made it available to watch on a video livestream. With intersectionality in mind, as well as a desire to keep LGBTQ people at top of… Read MoreThe Real Reason On-Demand Startups Are Reclassifying Workers
Nov 22, 4:00PM
Over the past several months, a handful of on-demand startups reclassified their independent contractors as employees. Others have publicly acknowledged they’re considering the same move, and have been hailed as the “next generation” of the sharing economy: one that takes care of its workers. Meanwhile, established companies like Uber, Upwork (Elance-Odesk), LiveOps and even… Read MoreFlash Sales Site SportPursuit Scores £9.5M Series C
Nov 22, 1:46PM
SportPursuit, the flash sales site for ‘premium’ outdoor and sports gear, has raised £9.5 million in Series C funding. Investors this time around are Scottish Equity Partners (SEP), Grafton Capital, and existing backer Draper Esprit, bringing total funding for the London-based company to just shy of £16 million since launching in 2012. Read MoreI Want To Run Stateful Containers, Too
Nov 22, 6:00AM
Using Amazon for everything feels wrong to me — a bit like the rebels in Star Wars renting a Star Destroyer from Darth Vader rather than recruiting the Millennium Falcon to fight the Empire. “Raaaw, don’t run stateful apps in a container, Raaaw.” That is what currently stands for sound advice in the development/operations world. Read MoreThe Disruption Of Millennial Investing
Nov 22, 1:00AM
The media proliferates stories analyzing millennial work ethics, buying patterns and values. With millennials consuming more media than any other generation, it’s always frustrating to see Twitter dominated with stereotypical headlines like “Are Millennials Lazy, Entitled Narcissists?” or “Desperate and In Debt.” You’d think the message would be better… Read MoreReadbug Wants To Be Spotify For Indie Magazines
Nov 21, 9:00PM
Readbug’s pitch to its target indie magazine publishers is the chance to increase their digital reach without having to do any extra work or spend any extra money themselves. And its pitch to hipsters is all-you-can eat access to their favorite aspirational reads for a Spotify style monthly fee. Read MoreSix Lessons From Cybersecurity Superhero Training
Nov 21, 9:00PM
One of my distinct grade-school memories is filing out of fourth grade class, nervous, but excited to miss a portion of math class. We were having our quarterly disaster-survival drill; instructing students on what to do in case disaster strikes. While working through yet another attempted malicious cybersecurity attack it dawned on me, why can’t we apply this diligence and training… Read MoreUpthere's Beta Users Have Uploaded More Than 3.5M Files
Nov 21, 8:00PM
Upthere launched their first apps into beta last week, and so far the beta period is off to a good start, the company tells me. No word on how many users have slipped through during the beta, but I’m told that invites are being slowly doled out. Over 3.5 million files have been uploaded to Upthere, which aims to be your personal computer in the cloud. Once your files are there,… Read MoreSamsung Gear VR Sold Out Online At Amazon And Best Buy
Nov 21, 6:54PM
If you didn’t pre-order the new consumer version of Samsung Gear VR, you might have some difficulty finding it on your favorite online shopping destinations. Amazon and Best Buy, both places that have been touted as having a supply of the virtual reality accessory, are showing “temporarily out of stock” and “sold out online” messages respectively. Amazon: Best… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Shelf Space
Nov 21, 6:22PM
The Gillmor Gang — Josh Elman, Robert Scoble, John Borthwick, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Tuesday, November 17, 2015. Facebook jumps in with Notify and gives Twitter a run for its money in Notifications. Another Notifications Gang; collect all 9! Plus, the latest G3 with Halley Suitt Tucker, Mary Hodder, Rebecca Woodcock, Francine Hardaway, and Tina Chase Gillmor. Read MoreIn Defense Of Theranos
Nov 21, 6:00PM
Innovation that involves sensitive medical technologies is challenging and provokes strong emotional reactions, but the reality is that the strongest criticisms of Theranos have more to do with business structure than their blood tests. Read MoreExtortionists Are Threatening To Release Patreon User Data
Nov 21, 4:54PM
Cartoonist Steve Streza posted a tweet claiming that an extortionist would release his “tax id, tax forms, SSN, [and] DOB” if he did not pay one bitcoin to a certain bitcoin wallet. The extortion is quite ham-handed – there’s no way to confirm payment, for example and it’s not clear how much of the data was actually leaked in a recent Patreon. A Patreon… Read MoreHaving Success With Code Bootcamps: A Guide For Employers And Bootcamp Grads
Nov 21, 4:00PM
Anyone hiring engineers in tech knows how much competition there is for talent; there just aren’t enough good engineers to go around. As a result of the incredibly high demand for talent, the supply side has responded by launching coding bootcamps all over the country and, indeed, the world. Thousands of post-college adults are dropping their careers and spending months and many thousands… Read MoreMoney For Nothing For Everyone
Nov 21, 2:00PM
“There is something more powerful than the brute force of bayonets: it is the idea whose time has come.” And so last weekend I visited the Basic Income Createathon–held, appropriately enough, at Brigade in San Francisco–to witness the early stirrings of a movement whose central goal may seem strange and radical … but which I expect to eventually transform the life… Read MoreGestures Are Defining Apple Watch
Nov 21, 5:00AM
Instead of the touches and swipes that power most of our screen-based computing devices, many of the core Apple Watch capabilities — like checking the time — are powered by gestures. The use of gestures as a user interface may seem like a novelty to many, but, from the research we did over the last six months, it’s a game changer — a lot of the data and insights we… Read MoreMark Zuckerberg Will Take Two Months Off From Facebook For Paternity Leave
Nov 20, 11:46PM
Mark Zuckerberg, the face of Facebook since the company’s founding back in 2004, will be taking a few months off for paternity leave. News of his time off comes by way of — no surprises here — his Facebook. Read MoreVoter Is Tinder For Politics
Nov 20, 11:33PM
As we approach election season the average person is probably confused by the plethora of candidates. Should you vote Trump? Hillary? Dr. Fantasmus the Libertarian Cyborg? Voter can probably tell you. This app is basically a swipe left/swipe right interface for political leanings. It asks you questions about policy and then recommends a candidate based on who you should vote for. Do you… Read MoreEx-TechCruncher Launches Y Combinator's "Not News" Publication The Macro
Nov 20, 11:11PM
There are plenty of tech blogs. But The Macro can go where no blogs are allowed — deep inside the Hogwarts of startups, Y Combinator. Mixed in with unmentionably candid advice and embarrassing tales of failure meant only for the ears of YC’s founders and mentors are stories worth spreading beyond the accelerator. Read More10 Carpooling Apps To Take This Weekend In San Francisco That Aren't Uber
Nov 20, 10:05PM
Let’s all agree that public transportation in San Francisco is not the greatest, but there’s plenty more ways to get about town and not all of them include clicking on UberPOOL. Here we present a handful of startups in San Francisco hoping to make your commute easier than MUNI and cleaner and cheaper than Uber and Lyft. *H/T to 7×7 for first compiling a number of the… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
