Others in this thread are saying the pricing is too steep or that this seems silly. After working for the past 6 months in an office with 4 shared conference rooms and around 20 people, I can say with 100% confidence this pricing would have

Sunrise is great. I've used it for almost a year now and it's my favorite calendar app.

Humbled to have been asked to help organize and participate in what will be an awesome event in Austin. We have a great panel of alumni and a YC partner all attending. Should be a good time! If you're in Austin or Houston/Dallas w

This. Especially if said agency can feed you work so you don't have to do any of the hustling/selling. It's a huge peace of mind and you get to stay 95% billable.

Yep, I had to do exactly this here in Austin. I literally went door to door, met many of my neighbors for the first time, and mentioned that we were only a few signatures away from fiber in our neighborhood. Even after getting all of the si

I was one of those people who loved Wave and used it constantly. I was so sad to see it get shut down. Very happy to see Lars doing something new!

I think one thing that is happening here is that certain types of startups are throwing money at problems that need to be solved in order to grow enough that raising additional funds is easy and/or not required. An example would be tha

I really disliked the negativity and I know many others who agreed and also deleted the app. It just wasn't worth it. I'm not at all surprised they are struggling.

Congrats to them all! I've known Ilya as a friend for a few years now and current/future YC startups are going to be very lucky to have him around. He's an extremely intelligent and humble guy.

I traveled all around South America for six months and spent maybe 10k total on the trip and I wasn't living frugally at all. I stayed in Airbnb's over hostels, ate good food often, and went on lots of paid excursions. I probably

That's crazy that I never heard about it. Is it a recent thing? Very cool that it has taken off regardless, and I suppose serves as a proof of concept for Lyft/Uber.

The thing is, I've never heard that term until now. I lived in the DC area for two years and worked with quite a few commuters. It's cool that it's a concept but there hasn't been mainstream adoption to the point where i

We use both at work (along with Pixate depending on the situation) and based on conversations I had today with our IX guys the main difference seems to be that Form makes it easy to mirror on your phone and actually play with the interactio

I think the major difference is now everyone is doing those things, not just the minority of us who knew how or cared enough to figure it out. So maybe the innovation is the refinement of all of these technologies that made them so accessib

I really don't think being terrified of competition is a good reason to create something, so I hope that's not why they are doing this. I'm struggling to find a reason why ordering anything via Echo is a good idea. I wouldn&#

Have you taken a look at Blossom as well? A few friends were telling me they have a killer Github integration.

I just tossed out 30 because it's a nice number and seems reasonable. You are right however that 45 minutes is the standard. I think you'd actually see benefits from doing high intensity cardio for 30 minutes however. At the very

Again, the only people 7 minutes of essentially cardio is going to benefit are people who are insanely out of shape. The second you're just in "ok" shape is the second 7 minutes is basically worthless to to you. I really hate

by cwilson 12y ago
The 7 minute workout is for people who want to feel like they are working out with minimal effort. It's kind of ridiculous. I tried this for a few weeks 4 times a week and saw/felt almost no benefit. Then I upped it to a 30 minute

If you enjoyed this read you should watch the movie "Her" by Spike Jonze, as mentioned in the article. It hits quite heavily on the same theme (though more focused on romantic relationships with AI) and offers a pretty realistic g
