My use case is I want my child to grow their native vocabulary, eg. when they read books with new words that they don't know. I couldn't seem to be able to pair the languages that way. Is this supported?
I strongly suggest using Anki. It’s free unless you want to use the iPhone app and cloze cards are exactly what you want if the goal is to be able to use new vocabulary correctly. You can even add dictionary definitions in the Extra field.
All that said the best way to increase native vocabulary is to read more.
Absolutely! This is actually one of the key differences from other SRS software. Ie. you can search the central DB for flash cards and just "add them to the learn queue" or "Claim known". Check out the video on my landing page at 4m:40s for how to do it.
Competition already exists. Almost every major enterprise software company minus Oracle. Microsoft does have Yammer, but IBM has Connections, Salesforce has Chatter, TIBCO has Tibbr. There is an independent, Jive. There are also upstarts like Slack.
Facebook would be entering a market that is already crowded. I'm not saying they couldn't make a big splash, only that it's not monopolized by Yammer.
If you give credence to IDC, IBM is actually the market share leader, with Jive in the second position and Microsoft in 3rd.
The Verizon versions of iPad Air, iPad Retina Mini, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are identical to those sold for AT&T and T-Mobile, and will work on any of those three networks[1]. (It's different/more complicated for older devices.)
Also, an agreement Verizon signed when buying their LTE spectrum from the FCC says that all Verizon LTE devices must be carrier-unlocked out of the box[2].
However, Verizon will refuse to activate any device that was not originally sold for use on its network (they use a unique device hardware ID for this). AT&T and T-Mobile don't do this.
Therefore, for maximum flexibility, buy Verizon versions of recent Apple devices. You can then switch to AT&T or T-Mobile (not Sprint), or back again to Verizon, at any time, as many times as you wish. This is what the author did[3].

Which is a violation of those FCC rules you linked to. It's monopolistic, shitty behavior.

Or just avoid Verizon entirely. That way you won't be rewarding their bad behavior.
Yeah, I don't get why people use the big-name providers unless they have a family plan. Prepaid services like Net10, Straight Talk, Cricket, Metro PCS, Boost, H2O, Jolt, Redpocket, etc are less than half the cost of the bigger ILECs/CLECs and most of them are or have GSM offerings. I like that Net10 and Straight Talk give you T-mobile or AT&T sims to bring over locked phones.
My personal favorite combo at the moment is Straight Talk's "Unlimited" 30 day service for $45, combined with an AT&T Radiant pre-paid phone ($70 cash). This phone is the same specs as a new Moto-E smartphone but for half the price. (I find it hilarious that I can lose or break my phone 7 times and still pay less than for one iPhone 5)
Just to be clear, most of those are MVNOs -- they basically buy wholesale network access from the big name providers and resell it (and provide support) under their own name.
Yeah, except Verizon is notably more expensive than the other networks, particularly T-Mobile. Verizon tacks on random fees into your bill that have no explanation. I would rather push T-Mobile to fix this issue than move to Verizon under the guise that I'm switching to something better. Nope.
I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile this year. My bill dropped from $180 to $160/month. That's with 2 lines, data and a new device installment plan. If you didn't have a new device it's at least $20 less per month iirc.
T-Mobile needs to work on their coverage in some spots, but that's supposedly coming with new spectrum purchases and whatnot.
tl;dr: I asked homejoy to take my money and they couldn't.
I first learned about Homejoy in October of 2013 and immediately signed up for a recurring cleaning, automatic billing. Almost every time Homejoy called me to reschedule. I only had the same cleaner twice, even though I picked 3 different "preferred" cleaners. Finally, after about 12 cleanings, they didn't show for cleaning 13. Turns out that since October their recurring billing system wasn't actually billing me. So they cancelled my appointment without any notice. I was never told of an accruing balance, even though I spoke to them frequently because they called to reschedule so many times.
We are so sorry to hear you were effected by our growing pains. We have improved the process regarding our billing and sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this issue caused for you and your family.
If there is anything we could assist you with, please feel free to reach our support team 1-855-728-4569, 7 days a week, 5 am - 5 pm PST or support@homejoy.com.
