I can't wait for the iOS version of this. Integration with Square.app would be really neat, too!

I think people here are a little too harsh. Storm sounds like an amazing product and I can't wait to play with something like that. Right now, we run a bunch of cron jobs every minute with intense MapReduce queries on mongodb to generate re

Xkcd succeeded in making me waste 20min yesterday clicking links on Wikipedia checking whether it was actually true. I wish I had had this tool then!

The Theil Fellowship is a perfect example of ranking on meaningless achievements. Like you said, the perfect college essay—but I'd be willing to put money on the guess that no real innovation will come out of the program. A real hacker does

The only real desktop "Startup" in recent times is doubleTwist. Most other are either client for a web service, or more of a lifestyle business than a startup. On a sidenote: That doesn't really count either, but MacHeist has done fantastic

OMG, how did I not know about this! D3o might be the coolest thing I've learnt about today, I totally want d3o riding gear now.

If the sheet of graphene can't be pierced, it would protect from the most common mild injury in motorcycle accidents: road rash. (Right?) It'd prevent direct contact with the road, it'd prevent your clothing being ripped off and your skin b

I agree so much with this. I hate how people in that are in a minority demographics tend to cry wolf and discrimination on everything. Personally, it doesn't even cross my mind that some people are different than me. I've lived all over the

Yup, people need to stop being cheap. Bought the app immediately after opening the link, and I probably would have at any price.

I want clothing embedded with sheets of Graphene. Imagine the protection! I ride a motorcycle, which is one of the most dangerous daily activities one can do, and something that exhibits these properties could save me a lot of pain in weari

Maybe, just maybe, they don't have an obligation to cater to your expectations of how they must describe their network. Maybe the people they're trying to reach are happy with a white paper. Maybe they're not great writers, designers or mar

Stella is a cheaper and more readily available version of Heineken, to me.

The big problem with his "stuck in traffic" scenario is how do you find the space to take off. Not to mention the legality of the whole thing. Granted, it's a really cool demo, but he needs to admit that there is little real-world practical

Besides the incredibly aggravating link-bait title—frugal is not equivalent to cheap. I consider myself to be quite frugal, but for the stuff that I do own, I have no objection to spending extra for the quality, luxury version—I couldn't ag

Choosing what criticism to ignore, too, is also a huge skill. Every time someone suggests something, I will take it into consideration. I figure out why they said what they did, and try to get to the core reason. Then I can make an assessme

As a student at San Francisco's top design school, critiques has become a huge part of school. Every day involves at least one class critique, and it's not uncommon for student to solicit extra critiques from their peers and teachers. A big

Real Graphic Design isn't cheap. Identity design from a SF studio can run you into the thousands. $10k, easily. (If you're a big corporation, add one or two orders of magnitude to the bill.) Now of course you can find stock and spec work on

I think the moral of the story is not to get attached to ideas. Ideas in themselves are worth nothing, what matters is the execution. Also, once you're reached success, don't rest on your laurels or someone will out-execute you.

It sounds to me more like the javascript specification has a bug or design flaw, rather than saying as a blanket statement that JSON isn't really part of JS. Ideally, javascript and JS implementations should fix that flaw, rather than parse

Starcraft is easily the most engaging and well-balanced strategy game ever made. There are many reasons why the game is suited to the startup guy. Average games last 30min, which is perfect for someone who has a life and other things to thi

Both the question and the answer are all kinds of silly. You can't start a project with the end goal of making $1000 a month, or you will surely fail. Instead, you've gotta motivated to solve a problem you've identified and then you need to

It amuses me that an article about punctuation and typographic conventions completely ignores the standard of using typographer’s quotes instead of inch marks. “This,” instead of "this." Same goes for apostrophes versus foot marks. As a gra

There's an interesting article on random.org that talks about just that. http://www.random.org/randomness/ This is dwelling into philosophy, but some argue that the universe is deterministic. With absolute knowledge of every particle in t

Rolling a die isn't truly random either. Given the same environmental conditions and the same force vectors, you will always get the same result. I think their definition of true randomness is flawed. It does not matter whether it's truly r

Good: I got rejected, I get a second shot. Bad: How can the State Department be so incompetent as to fuck this up? Also, why does it take months to generate this? I could do it with 15min and a simple script. Granted, any code generator is
