Two points I pulled out of this article about Netflix: With the hiring last year of Anthony Wood, founder of ReplayTV and Roku, Hastings reinforced his intent to deliver video straight into the living room. Originally, Netflix had plans

Sometimes I have a problem with anxiety and OCD. Generally I can control the OCD but sometimes the anxiety is overwhelming when I'm stressed. When this happens I've found exercise to be a good release. I'm able to clear my head and work out

This is really cool news. I currently live in Iowa and this Winter has been terrible so far. In my area (Quad Cities) they are predicting we'll be low on salt again. Last year we ran out towards the end of the year. The roads quickly went f

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with Io ( http://iolanguage.com/ ). The description sounds like an appealing combination: Its unusual, minimalist and yet elegant and powerful syntax reminds of Smalltalk, but the language goes fa

And $10/month just doesn't seem like that much money to most people, and gets lost in the credit card statement. So you are pretty much guaranteed your revenue, even if you completely stop selling. I think this is OK as long as you're

I stumbled on Buxfer a few weeks ago having no idea it was a YC company. The Firefox extension that lets you import your statements is the killer feature for me. It is the best way to sync your statements if your bank can't do it automatica

I often wish I had an undo button in the terminal. Obviously not everything can have an undo. But most things (anything you can undo in Windows) you should be able to undo on the Web. This is what people will expect from web applications or

As a developer I like running software that is similar to my production environment. OS X is close enough to Linux that most applications work the same. This makes me more productive and makes development easier. When I switched it was frus

Very cool idea. I would definitely use something like this. I only noticed 1 small issue: it seems tabbing between input fields doesn't register. As soon as I entered text on the first input, I tabbed to the second textarea and entered text

I find it cool they give away free books to their employees (4th picture). Just another example of how Zappos does things their own way. Another cool site featuring office pictures from Apple, Adobe, Craigslist, etc...: http://www.officesn

Glancing at the standard Python modules is a great way to learn. They are generally high-quality and will reveal many hidden tricks within Python (this is where I learned generator expressions). Also I like Googling for "python tricks" as t

Very cool. This is surprisingly quick. Its also nice that it works with the scroll wheel. Makes zooming in and out a breeze. It looks like its using one large image as opposed to many smaller sliced-up images. I'm curious how this would aff

I recently quit from a company that was heavily tied to the Newspaper industry. We dealt with thousands of small to medium sized papers. The sad truth is most of these organizations just don't "get it." I remember one newspaper called becau

One quick fix would be to de-list the site in search engines. This way people coming here are from referrals or word-of-mouth only. Google shows about 160,000 pages indexed for YC, I'm sure some of those are leading to new users.

What about an option to disallow override on noprocrast? I find it a very useful feature, but sometimes I click override when I know I should probably be working. A way to effectively ban myself by removing the override option (by choice) w

I went through the presentation he references at http://python.net/%7Egoodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/p... : A lot of what he says makes sense, but perhaps someone can explain why this is wrong: def bad_append(new_item, a_list=
