   The first of many hiccups in their batch processing. For two weeks they sold Coffeist without knowing the manufacturing process burned off the Vitamin A and C. They promised an update via email to customers but instead posted a blog update,

   I've cancelled my subscription today due to lack of appropriate action on behalf of Rosa Labs. Food is not a game of roulette. Soylent is a new contender in the market of food replacement, and while I have enthusiastically enjoyed thei

   Reminds me of those dollar bills that are stamped with codes to see where they've been. Very cool.

   Is this your recipe? Would be interested in the instructions.

   Isn't that the point? It's not Muscle Milk or other mass-building replacements.

   If you're curious about cost-effectiveness of their bar vs their drink: Soylent 2.0 Bottle = 400 Calories, ~$29 for 12 bottles (via Amazon) works out to ~166 calories per dollar. Soylent Bar = 250 calories, $24 for 12 bars (via Soylent

    Same experience here. I regret buying a yearly subscription as I just received the same product two months in a row and another one I got a couple months back.

    No, I mean communication over mesh networks similar to Nintendo DS' social features and recently, GoTenna ( http://www.gotenna.com/ ) (I'm not affiliated). Back when I was a kid there was something like this in a ha

    I remember before Yik Yak arrived on the scene, anonymous ephemeral communication wasn't popular. Sure there's Craiglist, but part of what made Yik Yak popular is that it not only adapted to the way people wanted to communicate, b

    Lasers are notoriously bad for dogs. Not sure about cats, but they cause anxiety and OCD from being unable to successfully catch the "prey."

    Thanks! I know there are better protocols out there to handle this sort of thing, but I'm already using Slack and used this protocol because it fit my own needs and it requires less dependencies to fit those needs.

    This makes so much sense. Most of the places I see a Square reader are up and coming businesses, small mom and pop shops, and places that aren't corporate.

    No fault there? Since when do you load up the Uber app just to see what cars are around you? Going window shopping for rides to nowhere? At best it's "Living Social" without the discounts.

    "Uber for x" click-bait title. For shame OP, Uber isn't a common noun.

    Love the idea of Slack games but no screenshots or explanation on the site? Not even a video? Pass.

    I haven't looked at the app but I read the article and the premises are outlandish. It won't matter what other people think of you? That's the entire point of social interaction - satisfying our physiological needs for belong

    You're right that there is more semantic value in ellipses vs the three bars - however I think the problem is that there's no standard. Blame it on operating systems for branding their start menus because it needs to be standardiz

    The bigger picture here is the context, a music app - or an activity that's ongoing. The controls are grouped together, always in the same place.

    People keep making this argument, but forgetting that context exists in the environment as well. In the context of charades, you're playing a game. It's something that's ongoing. Now if we took out all the stop signs and repl

    Play/Pause as an on/off toggle is still contextual within the music app. The play button is always going to be in the same place, and the pause button not much farther away. Music apps have also started displaying triangles over t

    I get the point trying to be made here, but the whole premise of "learning" has quite an oversight on the tangible differences between a hamburger menu and a pause button. A VCR pause button is always in the same place - next to t
