Yes, you mention 'safety issues'. Can you imagine the liability insurance you'd need to have in order to run a business where you have autonomous flying robots with packages suspended from them flying around? Holy crap. There

I think in future versions it'd be amazing to get the size of each 'pixle' down a bit and maybe embed an RGB LED so you don't need overhead projection. The demo video is really amazingly cool.

In that case, it should be Memphis TN. Large FedEx hub, and maybe you could partner with the Memphis College of Arts. I know around where I live certain trade type schools (Is an Arts school a trade school?) are all over having partnerships

Good for you guys! This is another example of a product that I would never have thought of producing. How spread out is your business? It seems to me that a lot of larger conferences in the US are held in the LA or Vegas areas. Might you tr

This reminds me of an idea I've had. I think it'd be nice if there were a website where experts from a certain field could go and post their problems. Then knowledgeable people working in other fields with other backgrounds could

I like the craziness that this devolved into. It's funny when a bunch of people are all editing like mad. I had the thought that it'd be fun to have a contest using jsfiddle to start from some point, like the excel (lite) clone in

I'm sorry, but your hypothetical is bad for this scenario. This only works if, in addition to all of the other possible risks we all face in life, this CS grad could simply disappear because a CS student in the new freshman class is mo

Fantastic! I'm trying to get stronger with my JS and this is really an inspiration.

Pandora for clothes shopping releases promo video, that sadly isn't narrated and thus will not engage users well. If I extrapolate from what I know about Pandora and substitute clothes for music I suppose I can guess what service is of

I think there's something to be said for acknowledging that your team isn't the smartest out there. I don't think being smart is, in and of itself, a guarantor of'success'. It seems to me that successful business is

The minimums hardly make these plans "Luxury Plans". The (very good) reason to have minimum coverage requirements is to push people from burdening the acute care system (ERs). This is necessary in order to keep overall health cos

I think you're missing the hypothetical above. I read it as "the law could have required insurers to bring policies up to snuff without increasing premiums". That presumably would have kept people from getting cancellation no

One of the scenarios they lay out on their site is students. I can see classes of students using this site to develop and share. My first thought was, we already have this it's called JSFiddle. If I want to just screw around or play wi

To broaden their horizons? Because they're interested in technology even if they don't define themselves as a programmer? Just curious: why would a person comment not to add value, but to ask a semi-snarky rhetorical question?

Coincidentally this view seems to be held most strongly by those actively trying to prevent the government from functioning efficiently (or at all). It's like purchasing a car, never doing any maintenance, and then when it dies saying:

Ah, ok, thanks. I see now why there would be a harsh reaction. I will re-title my forthcoming post from "Why only stupid dummies do 'x'" to something more nuanced. :-)

I really don't understand all of the negative feedback to this post (maybe I didn't see the old title, as it has evidently changed). It seems like this is straightforward honest advice when you're trying to solve somebody els

From the article: "...What makes disruptive innovations so deadly is they’re not better than your product. They’re worse. Anyone who needed a mainframe at the dawn of the personal computer era would find a PC to be an incredibly lame

Very interesting, thanks. I can see that others might try to nitpick it to death, but the case you make has genuinely never occurred to me[1]. [1]True, this may say more about me than it does about your point. :-)

If his being dead exempts him from paying child support, does that also mean he can't be convicted of a crime? This guy has inadvertently circumvented the legal system! He is currently robbing a liquor store while streaking and litteri

I don't really understand what you do. I will freely admit that I may be dumb, or not the target market, but I don't get it. I don't mean to say this to be discouraging, I am interested enough to wonder what y'all are up

Asking somebody for the worst possible solution seems like a really clever ice-breaker. I'm stealing that technique! Thanks patrickyeon! I interviewed some folks a while ago for a simple desktop support position and I had a lot of trou

"..Shouldn't the Steam UI, you know, let you know that before you go about buying and downloading that 30GB game??.." Yeah, wouldn't that be the point? It seams like Steam wants to be a platform, and the point of the st

I think you might consider changing some of your cartoons so that a Woman is running the business. I think it's a bit strange[1] that it's the male character all the time. I don't know if that's something that might turn

MarlonPro, if you're ever in the market for a new or replacement fountain pen, check out the Lamy Safari[1]. I have written with very expensive (OMAS, MtBlanc, Caran D'Ache, ...) fountain pens and the Lamy Safari is better than mo

I don't. I love working with paper, but I have zero organization. So I end up with stacks of uneven paper pieces with notes all over the place. For me this post has been really helpful. I am going to try this system out! p.s. I have a

I really find this type of business model intriguing. Who's the market for this? Is it students or parents. I can see it cutting either way... or even the indulgent grandparent. An easy thing for them to do to support their little darl

That analogy is a fantastic failure. I was going to try to rebut it with some sort of home owner's association analogy, but why bother. The idea of the tax man as a thief in the night is just silly.

This seems like a really cool idea, but the site has way to little information for me to get really excited. Where's the pricing info? Also, to have a chance with institutional users it would probably be a good idea to go into great detail
