Really cool app. I've been trying it out today. (I had been using the Keep Focused utility previously.) The difficulty I'm having with your app is after my pomodoro finishes, you have the clock ticking upward and it doesn't stop. I need

I don't know about phone apps, but in online games, some of the really big winners that you don't hear too much about are the games that are "free" but then make money off of micro-transactions. Once you get a huge install base, there are

No. You wouldn't know she is a Muslim in any way except that she says she is.

I always searched for "atheist only" in my online searches. Then a Muslim girl wrote me and told me I had good bone structure. 3 years later, we're engaged. (She's also very moderate in her beliefs.)

Other answers are also useful because other people can learn about the law that way. Yes, get a lawyer, but also a lot of the advice is interesting and educational as well.

Cool, but seems like the infrastructure would cost way too much considering the number of people who would want to use this.

I second that. The graphics are very stark and minimal, which really gets the player into what's important. I would say don't change the graphics. Also, I really like how the bullets don't always aim straight. It's a cool bit of realism.

Do treat schooling as character development and a place to grow children into adults. Do this by having a flexible curriculum so kids can study what's interesting to them. Do mix age groups so that older kids can teach younger kids and thu

Concrete suggestions: Don't treat schooling like a factory. Don't group students by age. Don't teach around the concept of there just being one answer. Don't segregate people into two tracks: academic and working. A lot of the things he's t

Why? Anyone who has or inherits $10 billion can give it away. It takes nearly no skill. Only a very, very few people in the history of history can make $10 billion.

If the "Bay Bridge" is 24% more girls to guys, then I think there is a problem here with reporting information that's not statistically significant, because that seems very unlikely to me.

Yes, but, doesn't Facebook encourage this sort of thing more than in the past? It takes a lot less of ... something to put that you are a certain way on Facebook than it does to claim it face to face to another person. People are a lot le

Would also be useful for people to register where they get their speeding and traffic tickets. As a long time Bay Area resident, I know what stretch of 280 the smokies like to hang out at a lot, and I bet that could be useful information t

Your comment is 10 times more intelligent and thought provoking than the article. Thank you. It really would be interesting to see a more legitimate study on this topic.

"Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt is one of those perfect little books that can greatly expand your world view in one night. I highly recommend it. ( http://www.amazon.com/Economics-One-Lesson-Shortest-Understa... ) Also, I secon

I've also tried both Google and FB ads (among other), and FB returns me next to nothing. I also don't spend money with them anymore.

I think this is true. I recently read "The Fates of Nations" by Paul Colinvaux, which was very interesting. One of his main points was that people are very smart about choosing how many kids to have, and they generally choose to have as m

I do like the idea of repayment, but in practice, can most people in jails really earn any money with which to repay? Seems like there aren't that many unskilled jobs around anymore, especially ones that can take place inside of jail.

Sure. I know I certainly need someone like you for my start up to help launch version 2 when it's finished. I admit, I've been too passive in searching out the right person because I fear it's too easy to get someone who isn't good. Whil

I can't think of one time in the 100's of times I've used image search that I cared at all about the actual web sites that the images are from. I wish it was even more direct, right to the images, than it still is, with a small link to the

Sort of true, but the problem is you want to be where your friends and family (and soccer team!) are.
