This is more of a question, but how do you know which state a city that a user submits is for? I guess you don't really care about the limited city submissions for small cities as much as the metro areas, e.g. Phoenix vs. Tempe.

I tried to submit my city, but it didn't do anything. I checked for JS errors, but surprisingly there were none.

An approach that I just took with my underperforming cofounder was to give him a week trial to prove himself. The goal wasn't to actually get him to prove himself, but rather to show him that he no longer was a good fit so he could make the

I think pg meant the literal sense. Unscrupulous VCs will waste an entrepreneur's time by never saying no just in case the situation changes, but statistically hardly ever give a definitive yes.

Are you saying that the two are mutually exclusive? "I suck at design" is an excuse, and the technological equivalent to "I'm just bad at math."

You also won't find the newer Posture-fit support on Craig's List, but in my experience it's not that much better than the normal lumbar support. To answer your question though, yes it's worth the money. I go through padded chairs like shav

I just purchased an Aeron a few days ago. I paid $380 on Craig's List, which you can see is a pretty good deal. It took some waiting. Most of the used Aeron chairs are done by used furniture resellers. These chairs are generally in very poo

Sadly, I almost replied "just check out the website." I made a site for graphic design students to find freelance gigs that are posted by local small businesses who need cheap, small amounts of design work done. Thankfully this hasn't been

I run my main startup on Heroku, so OrangeSlyce.com has been completely down all day.

I receive emails like this from time to time. I just delete them. I really don't care if some company owns mystartupname.obscuretld, good for them. I think buying anything other than .com, .org, and .net is really a waste. Even .mobi and .c

It's a terrific idea, but incredibly difficult execution given the regulatory environment.

I've been an entrepreneur in AZ for the past 2 years. Trying to land angels here is near impossible. It's the culture, people with money don't take risks with early-stage tech deals. It's been done, but IMO you either should get out of AZ o

Very close, its for black diamond. Based on the positioning of the 2 staph infections on my leg, I also thought it may have been my harness (which I disinfected now). Thanks though, it's incredible just how much bacteria is everywhere you t

I wanted to add that I had MSSA, not the more serious MRSA, but like the article points out, even the MSSA staph in meat is serious and can cause major health problems if it is spread to the skin.

In the past few months I was admitted to the hospital on 2 separate occasions for staph infections in my leg. I am a 24 year old, active, healthy individual with no prior health issues. The doctors and infectious disease specialists are ess

Thanks for that, I remember stumbling on it last week, but couldn't remember where I saw it.

That's part of it, but the real question is how to get people to know about it, and not just anyone, but your target customer.

Ironically, I'm working on a bookkeeping project (still very early) designed around emailing in receipts from a camera phone. I have a beta signup page at getrunrate.com, and would love to talk more if you have time (my email is in my profi

Exercise makes or breaks a good night's sleep for me. It's so necessary in fact that I'd equate my need for a good run to my coffee addiction. Two staph infections this past year that have prohibited me from running, my preferred exercise,

That's true, and reminds me that this is a minor decision in the grand scheme of things.

This is a touchy area because you don't want to make it seem like your are threatening or pressuring the startup accelerator you are vying for. I guess I'd compare this to job negotiation, but probably less flexible. Either way, definitely

This is a very crowded space, but one that still has a ton of room for innovation. I would gladly pay a hefty ransom for a seamless workflow between my MacBook Pro, Android device, and iPad. Sure, now you're thinking "there's a mobile site,
