Yes, but also a ton of unlicensed music (most of which came by way of remixes/DJ mixes), which they can't license it to soundtrack cos. Spotify owns one (major investor, created by an employee) called Soundtrack Your Brand. Pand

Drip was acquired by Kickstarter, maybe 2 years ago.

Mentioned this under another comment: Drip was a startup that was acquired from Kickstarter a year or two ago. So they didn't choose the name (and didn't choose to rebrand).

Same here, and added the FB Purity extension on top of it. It's glorious to visit FB today and see the same 3 posts I saw yesterday (I follow a few media co's). It's slowly gotten me out of the habit of randomly checking in t

And sitting down in a quiet, non-stimulated environment typically produces all sorts of emotions, does it not?

I think OP is correct, it just wasn't stated as well as it could've been. Meditation (at least some practice forms) is an act of forcing boredom upon yourself AND exploring how your mind's default settings react in that envir

Slight caveat here: for those with sacroiliitis or SI joint issues, "sitting down is bad for you" is NOT necessarily the answer. In many cases standing is worse for you than sitting. Don't prescribe to generalities, of course

I can tell you what it was like to quit my job and focus on a very-early-holy-shit-what-are-we-doing-startup. Was at a marketing agency for 10 years when I left to pursue my first co-founded startup. Made the decision after we got a little

I just re-learned skateboarding. I spent a lot of time skating in my late teens (37 now), and was decent at it. I noticed three things throughout the learning process this time around. First, there is so much more information available toda

Non-coding marketing guy here. When I jumped into the "startup" world I did all the cliche things, joining HN being one of them. I also found myself surrounded by tech nerds and I needed to start understanding this foreign languag

Yes, I was also confused by what that video was meant to tell me, the viewer. It seemed like you guys got in a room, watched the Dollar Shave Club video, and tried to figure out how to "do something like that" while also trying ou

Possibly a combination of two things. I'd like to teach meditation to children and young adults. I'd also like to pursue stand-up comedy and other comedic efforts.

In Brooklyn we now have four (FOUR!) different containers for trash in our little apartment. Since I was a kid and recycling began as "a thing" it's gotten more and more complex and expensive on the consumer's end. Shoul

The opening paragraph is just an unadulterated train wreck. Forbes continues its path down being nothing more than a mouthpiece for PR folks. "WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world and is used by nearly 75 million websites. Ac

Many generations of my wife's family (Makawao) worked at the mills. Our cousin is out of a job after 26 years there. It happens. From what I hear, they are doing an excellent job with the former employees, like paying for school.

I haven't intentionally ingested the "news" in any considerable manner in at least 10 years, probably more. That's by design; I just don't place a premium on it. Time, energy, and attention are all limited resources

This is what they call "newsjacking" - and a really bad version of it.

Ok, should I text you or something when that happens? You're taking a very black-and-white approach to what I said. I never stated that I wouldn't have the very natural and human urge to continue life or the feeling of missing out

Actually, it's prejudice and discrimination based on gender. "Femgineering" and women's only clubs/sites/services are doing just that. It irks me that the same path that led us to today's problems is being

I actually don't expect anything. I get what I get, that's all. Expectation is a problem, generally speaking. Actively killing myself is quite different from un-attaching myself to the concept of an expected X number of years on t

I absolutely, 100% do not want to extend my life. And for the record, I am quite pleased with my life. I do not fear death, I do not worry about it, it does not concern me. Therefore I do not feel the need to combat it in any way. The good

I didn't get it from the homepage either. The video and the headline say literally the exact same thing. Just some feedback.

I've seen the same (also a marketing guy), but we both know that most companies always chase the shiny new thing regardless of its actual effectiveness. I'm a Snap fan and can't wait to experiment with the ads API at some poi
