Makes a lot of sense to be honest. If ideas aren't held too dearly you'll be able to weed out the bad ones. A lot of people (myself included) have a certain irrational loss aversion when it comes to ideas. I'm sure one could find plenty of

I saw this on HN at some point but forgot to bookmark/save it in some way, I think it's really awesome. As a Swede I always have to select the box and type "S" a lot of times to get to "Sweden", I'd rather just type in "Swe" like you can do

Does any flagging take place in the brain at all? I have tried to keep up to date on Alzheimer's without knowing much about the human body. One thing I've thought about given the debate over whether Aβ is the culprit, one of many culprits

Is this really a pain that companies feel? That they can't visualize or gather critical data into a coherent view? It seems to me that this might be a great thing to have, but companies don't necessarily know this. When you have to expla

Just took a quick look at the comments on Amazon and the book seems to be a disappointment for most, mostly due to the editing. So, why are you fine with this? If anything, this book seems to devalue your brand.
