I generally like the concept of ISAs. The current system in the US incentivizes colleges to provide an exclusive "luxury" experience , regardless of cost. Here the incentives are more properly aligned. In addition, ISAs place a n

I love this. Here is a tree modeling tool created by someone who really loves trees . There's no other way to describe it. Anyone else would have been happy to stop at "good enough" trees, but here the attention to detail wi

There are only two decision points in daily clothing: (1) What to buy, and (2) what to wear. If you've bought correctly, the "what to wear" decision is 5-120 seconds and no more. There's no pain to alleviate here... even

A few thoughts off the top of my head: 1. If you can, offer a discounted promotional rate for tasks on your site, where some tasks will be completed for free. Tasks must be approved (by you). Then, just do the freelance work yourself at bel

The data security / privacy policy is super important. I've also wanted a personal CRM for some time so this definitely hits my pain point. However, I anticipate this would become most useful when I start adding personal, honest n

That's nice, but it's important to remember that (regardless of your living situation) you are really just benefiting from an increase in the price of a leveraged asset, where the interest is backstopped and subsidized by the Fede

This argument is incredibly uniformed and privileged. You are assuming that you start from zero... healthy body, no obligations, mental stamina, stable living situation, no unexpected problems. The reality is far worse. It's much more

On my college campus Subway was the only "outside" food option that used the campus meal plan. All the rest was different storefronts for the same undistinguished catering company. I ate a lot of Subway in those days.

Charge a LOT for admission, and include the ability to play with a bunch of the best toys. Then, if you buy a new toy, ~75% of the admission price goes toward the purchase price. I bet they'd make a killing.

This is a real problem on your team and it needs to be fixed, likely from several angles. For Bill, at a minimum he needs an honest conversation regarding his impact on the rest of the team. If he's accomplishing his work but dragging
