Equally though, someone who has a dusty/muddy car (esp in a city rather than rural area) probably values a car wash less than someone who actually has their car washed every week so their car looks relatively clean. I keep my TT looking cle

In these kinds of debates there's also something about putting on the table the topics that are important for your camp (our camp) not just rebuffing the ones set out by the others. > Mr Cotton mentioned due process a few times How ex

The video quality was poor at fullscreen but it looked like Alexis Ohanian was wearing a talkback earpiece in his left ear (does anyone else see it?) I'm wondering whether he was receiving a live brief from his counsel backstage during th

I would be REALLY pissed if someone washed by car without my permission. I'm surprised it had a positive effect on you. I might still try the service - I currently pay ~$30 with tip at the local car wash place where they wash your car by h

I don't see our government - or any current government being able to do that. The Israeli's have a completely different approach to security - orientated around threat-intelligence and behavioral analysis. It's like expecting Ford to sud

Personally, I wouldn't because it's too specific to the particular goods being sold and thus can't easily be abstracted. Coffee is going to need to be handled v differently to candy or women's shoes. I would offer a service up to the point

Asking here because I'm sure many people will have the same question... ...how much does your service cost? There's no pricing info on the site :/ Thanks!

Candy, coffee, cigars, women's shoes/accessories... There seems like a ton of subscription businesses around and I almost feel there might be room to create a white/gray-label platform that can handle the website, subscription management, p

As an aside the guy who founded and still leads the CyanogenMod project now works for Samsung on their Android distribution(/flavor). I'm not sure whether they hired him to try to let the steam out of Cyanogen but if so it certainly hasn't

Arhh yes, the open source VPN software that LogMeIn decided to buy that they essentially broke the app with a software update to then force everyone to pay (I don't have the exact figure) something like $200+ a year to use. I remember tho

If you are healthy and have no dependents (thus don't have unusual/expensive medical insurance needs) then the best salary tip I've found is to be a 1099 contractor over a W2 employee. This is especially so if you are in a work-at-will S

To be fair, it looks as though the guy is just stepping out of a car/truck as he says that it is 70 yards away. They probably just drove to a spot close to the signal of where the iPad landed and then started filming from there.

to be fair, some of us are never going to make a YC application. Yes, I've built up a 4000+ karma not because I some day want to be in YC, but because I like to participate in this community.

The key bit of information that was missed from the piece is that, I'm guessing, the iMac is linked up in mirror mode to the Thunderbolt display on the other person's desk... so they are each seeing the same thing on their own computer. F

You need to work out whether you want opinions from potential customers or from industry peers. Arguably both are important when considering any startup idea. I can't help you find the potential customers, but when it comes to peers it is i

The whole point with Kettling, which kinda makes it punitive, is that they are 100% clear that you are not leaving the enclosed pen they have created. Sometimes the kettling can go on for 6+ hrs and even with protestors demanding toilet bre

On this point: while they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, the Occupy movement has a lot of structural similarities to the Tea Part movement. The sad thing about grassroots politics in the US is that the conservative grassroo

As a Brit now living in US, I came here to mention Kettling too. (Kettling is when the police entirely surround a protest group and will not let anyone enter or leave for many many hours). Unlike the other comment on this sub-thread, I do

UX problems aside, the surge pricing idea is creates fascinating window into the true perceived value of the service. To give an example, Uber would normally be ~$35 from the party I was at last night in SF's Mission to my home. With a 6.25
