Been using Metrist for a few months now. So nice to get status updates delivered straight to Slack as opposed to trusting vendor status pages and eventually having to just defer to Twitter.

The change in color likely has to do with the lighting. When it's removed from the wall you can see the square of light placed on the frame. https://youtu.be/5-RFj1Slcws?t=22

This post on Bird's unit economics is pretty good. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/10/how-to-understand-the-fina...

Interestingly since charging the electric scooter is such an additional complication w.r.t. unit economics, it'd be great to see them just make them kick scooters (i.e. foot powered with no motor like the OG Razor scooter) with the only electronics being the GPS/cellphone locator unit?

You then mitigate the speed/helmet concerns somewhat as well.

companies like http://immotor.com/ are trying to solve that with swappable batteries that the user owns rather than the rental service.

interesting idea, but i haven't really thought through it to figure out if it makes more sense or not.

Given the terrain, these would flow downward to collect like pools of water at the lowest points in San Francisco :)

Then you’re basically renting a 3lb $50 commodity- anyone who wants one could gave one with them at any time. There’s no real market for mass rentals of that type of thing - cheap and portable.

Got excited, went to try and click on them, but most of them 404. A for effort?

more like a curated list of 404 pages amiright?

Reflect | Senior Software Engineers | Portland, OR | ONSITE

We’re looking to add experienced software engineers to our team to help build, scale, and manage our hosted and on-prem platforms. Engineers in these roles will help define much of the technical direction of Reflect. You’ll get to work with everyone on our small team and wear lots of different hats, both technical and non-technical. Reflect is considered infrastructure by our customers so service availability is extremely important to our business. We all practice DevOps and we deploy our stack amongst many different cloud providers. We’re golang on the backend and ES6/React on the front end with some services and tools written in Ruby. Reflect is the API for data visualization, solving the data visualization problem for developers the way Twilio solves communication, Stripe solves payments, and Sendgrid solves email: by making it a service. With Reflect, developers can add data visualization to their web and mobile applications in minutes. email me: colby@reflect.io or checkout our postings at http://bit.ly/1VwMy4z

You might consider writing out 'Oregon', as "OR" is not easy to quickly search for. ", OR" might work in some cases, but Oregon is unambiguous.

Thanks!

Great question! We're different than other tools because we're an ingredient component that developers add to their applications and services (Tableau + others are standalone tools).

We're working with larger companies, like Simply Measured, who are using Reflect to power their customer-facing products.

Most companies (large or small) don't have the core competency for data visualization in-house -- Reflect helps fill that gap.

Thanks for your support!

This looks interesting. Would love to try it out..requested an invite.

It's been used at companies I've worked at (not Google).

I had a coworker who didn't know what it meant, and somehow assumed it was "Let's Get That Money". So now I think of that every time :)

For a long time, I actually thought it means "Let's Get That Moving". Still works.

Same here, for the same reason. Apparently that's a 50 Cent track - go fig!

This is a really great point. I think it would have been useful to point out that we're currently going through an accelerator (Techstars), so all this data is somewhat atypical. Additionally, I wouldn't say we're "hyper focused" on these metrics. Rather, it's something I check periodically in order to help think about shaping my habits. Does that make sense?

Makes sense.

Still, it's something to be aware of. The accelerator's going to do your company little good if you're all so exhausted that you can't work efficiently afterwards.

(Note that I'm not necessarily saying you're going that direction; only you know the answer to that question.)

I've been a paid user for quite a while and really enjoying Gyroscope! Would love to get coffee and chat dataviz sometime.
