I'm not sure it's any more personal to have your card be handwritten by a stranger. For friends and family, a card or a personal letter is really worth taking the time over. For bonus points, you could even make the card yourself.

I agree with the sentiment on Black Friday, and I generally like Everlane (their t-shirts are genuinely fantastic, to the point that I'd be happy never buying any other t-shirt again), but there's something about the way this is presented t

A great reminder that the macho "work all the time" attitude is actually counterproductive - not just in life, but in work. You need to relax to be creative. Not just at Thanksgiving, or other publicly mandated holidays, but all through the

Presumably all that'll happen is that firms will send their erroneous or overreaching patents elsewhere? Or is there a process to avoid this?

Scary, but I think worth doing - congratulations. Having been a landlord in the past, I can also very easily see the market for your product. I really needed it, in fact, and I think your major issues are going to be getting the onboarding

Good luck, everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing the next generation of YC startups launch.

Great! That means I can write my application for the web and I don't have to worry about directly addressing the BlackBerry platform.

Yes. Get the CS minor. It means something to a lot of employers, so is worth it for that alone, and you'll probably pick up algorithmic techniques that you might not have thought about. There will be plenty of time for side projects afterwa

I found this a curiously cold, superficial approach to loving another person. A relationship isn't a software program, or a car. You can't apply discrete rules, algorithms or workflows and assume it'll stay in tip-top condition. You can't d

Another comment has already mentioned Taskforce; Mail Pilot ( http://www.mailpilot.co/ ), which was another Kickstarter project, also does something similar. I really want something that does this, but as a native desktop app and a mobi
