Funny enough, back in college my roommates and I once received a pack of weed that smelled like Pine. It was hard to burn, so in his paranoia, one friend suggested it was spiked with Pine Sol. He rationed that it was sprayed in order to wei

The accessibility and drop in price will also surge demand forward. If you can pick it up like a 6 pack or pack of cigs at any convenience store, then sales and consumption should dramatically increase.

Interesting opinion. In the NatGeo documentary I saw, the semi-legalization of Marijuana has brought an influx of supply, making it harder for (legal) growers to find places to sell to. If its legalized, it can still generate vasts sums of

This is a project my friend and I launched to answer some curiosities we have about the real street value of marijuana. I got the idea after watching a National Geographic documentary on Marijuana where they gave some interesting but not to

Some martial arts ideas: Learn jiu jitsu (gi or nogi) and compete as a beginner. You'll get addicted to learning it and you'll want to fit in 1-2 hrs of training per day

Not completely true, sometimes being first matters.

Sounds terrific for YC companies. Looks like getting into YC just got that much more competitive.

Competition is indeed overrated. Everyone wants to be first/fastest/biggest, but quicker/cheaper/smarter competitors always pop up regardless of the industry you're in.

I think you're being a bit dramatic. I agree that programmers need a little more respect, but what you're saying is a bit silly. You can't coerce a programmer into doing work for you. They want either cash or stake for their work. They have

I don't think its as black and white as you'd like to see it. Entrepreneurship is and has always been about organizing labor and capital. Nothing on its own is useful until there is an organizing factor that makes it greater than the sum of

Yes, you can make tons of money from affiliate marketing. Doing it "ethically" is another question however. If you want to make money fast and big, its pretty necessary to learn blackhat techniques.

Kickstarter is starting to look like an excellent pre-sales engine. Look at all the money he's already "raised" without even a product. Just a nicely edited video pitch, and he's off to the races!

I'd think I'd be interested too, problem is startups are just two guys sitting on their computers for the majority of their days. Not sure it would actually be an interesting documentary after all. The docs on Kozmo and Govworks were pretty

Start digging for bloggers and other potential customers by Googling relevant queries. Either send them to your dry test page, or ask them if you can chat over IM.

There are problems with thinking like this: 1) You may never be rich enough to have any wealth to dispense. This is arrogance and ignorance. 2) You ignore the plight of those today. Money isn't the only way to be charitable. Time, energy, e

heymatty, thanks for the suggestions. We are actually thinking of porting over to Java to support Mac and Linux. Delete/edit should be simple. We'll look into SSL. May I ask why you need the option to turn off screenshots? We considered thi

If you haven't moved your keyboard or mouse for a duration of 5 minutes, then you would start logging idle time. This is an issue of the job at hand, because jobs like your job (and writing/designing/thinking) don't require the worker to al

Hi there, thanks for the comment. Auto-uploaded screenshots aren't for everyone, its something that definitely has to be negotiated with the employee of course. Our competitor oDesk (an outsourcing portal) offers similar software. They offe

This feels like a joke. "Transcending Facebook", "World Web War III", crap about cosmos and buzzwords. Actually, I'm quite sure it is a joke. And yet, I can't help but fear that it isn't.

IMO Facebook is too big and real to be a fad. That doesn't mean that they can be taken over one day by another service, but they are managed very well (unlike Myspace) and have an excellent product vision. I knew myspace would crash and bur

Why aren't you pricing lower to draw in startups? There is still some automation that could be done to make the process easier. For example, why not let users give you keyphrases, and you pull in "relevant" blogs/posts/sites that they can f
