Well, yeah, at the good schools there is analytic philosophy. But at local community college or state universities (where most people get degrees), it's a mix. And dancing maths on the head of a pin, that could never be a useful skill to d

I just read an article with the word "freemium" and my bullshit filter blew a fuse.

I am a college dropout, but I completed all the philosophy parts of my degree requirement. There is a divide in philosophy departments in the US. The divide is between continental philosophy and analytic philosophy. Programs strong in ana

I use omnifocus. It will be perfect on iPhone. Now, it's only of limited use. I use it more for organizing my thinking then my day down to the hour. I find if my thinking is organized, and I know how to do what I want to get done, manag

Here is a non advertising business model for a startup. Make something so great most people couldn't of imagined it, don't bother people with ads they hate anyway, serve an unmet need so deep most people don't know it's there until they see

This is the kind of idea that will lead to revolutionary thinking across multiple domains at some point. People in all sorts of fields should follow this kind of work very closely. Excellent, exciting stuff. This also offers a very fertil

Please don't worry about sounding too critical. Just be honest. This is much more helpful with the true critical parts not obscured by worry about hurt feelings. That "I solved it" is painful. That is very obvious. Gotta get rid of that

We should talk more. I'm not going to be at start-up school though. I live in Washington and can't make it. I'm thinking about shooting for the next one (if it wouldn't be a distraction from the booming business development and R&D o

Fun. I hope we are not competing. :) Out of curiosity, are you working on implementing your own idea or did a non-tech person contribute the idea you are working on?

I ordered it. It's on it's way. Thanks for the suggestion!

Very helpful. In our case, our company exists to solve a problem. The problem is a combination of a medical and design problem. (I don't want to give away anything). Before I found a hacker, I did a lot of the design work, and have been

Thanks! I'm not actually the business person either. I worked in medicine, and some constantly stupid things I see make me angry. I think I can design a product to take the stupid out of the processes I saw working in medicine. I also th

It's called a trojan horse. People who think iPhone is a fancy phone are exactly like people who thought the original PC's were fancy typewriters. iPhone will eventually dominate everything from video game handhelds to medical devices to c

"Besides any long term neurological benefits, I read once or twice that meditation and relaxation have an immediate effect of helping relieve the stress that lies at the root of most cases of procrastination." You are right. This is becaus

They actually have a lot of the pieces out there but unconnected. I will answer the question. Willpower is an equilibrium between two distinct drives, one of which is a drive to act, and one of which is an inhibitory drive. The first step

Nice beta. Nice functionality. I could see using this while I work at my desk. I will bookmark it. I always find the most value in detailed critical feedback. In that spirit: There is a lot of subtle visual dissonance on your website.

This is great news. It's great to see people waking up. I've personally converted 7 people to Apple. I hate using a windows pc anymore. I switched to compose music. It's a huge difference. This bodes well for the taste of the upcoming

Thoughts? The correct analogy is not a metal detector, but a needle in a haystack. I think you misunderestimate the amount of false leads you get doing this by several orders of magnitude. If your system generates too many false leads, i
