Congrats on building this! I wonder, have you considered speech recognition as an alternative source for text generation? You could build some powerful voice commands this way, possibly rivaling Vim, TextMate etc. We will eventually see s

Clearly this 3D printing pen is innovative, but that does not necessarily imply that it includes patentable inventions. The technology used looks like FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printing extended to free hand, without support mater

No decent 24-hour options? Safeway is open 24 hours. There's one just off Sand Hill and another on El Camino.

Our documentation recommends the use of Thin, which is a single-threaded, evented web server. In theory, an evented server like Thin can process multiple concurrent requests, but doing this successfully depends on the code you write and th

MATLAB isn't too hard to get started on. It is, after all, a high-level language; and I rank it as providing a higher level of abstraction than Ruby and Python. To get started, ask her to read a MATLAB primer[1][2]. That's all she'll nee

No, I'm not going to download your bullshit app Ok, so don't! Just because you have no use for an app doesn't mean it's useless to others, or "bullshit" as you so eloquently put it. I have the NPR app on my iPhone and iPad. Wake up in t

I understand where you're coming from, but I would argue that your true value add is discoverability or customer acquisition. Payment processing can be added easily to any customer-facing website. One-time product fulfillment for any numbe

Sounds like a great concept. But 35% of markup is too high. Margins for hardware goods are low enough already. Then you take 35% of that. I think you'll end up with a bunch of overpriced items with inventors struggling to make a profit.

Manning and WikiLeaks may have been credited by some as catalysts for the Arab Spring, but they were not. Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation was the catalyst for the Arab Spring. It's not as if Tunisians needed anyone to tell them how co

They may but in practice they allow it. I've bought two sets, both with discounts, so far.

Silicon Valley != San Francisco. In fact, the idea of San Francisco being a part of Silicon Valley is a very recent one. The article makes some good points. But if you're going to write about Silicon Valley, the first thing you must do

Why, do you think startups are valued and created only in the US? Where do you think German multi-nationals come from? Slow-growth companies?

It's "cute", because she is or, more importantly, because the Trolls thought she was. She was "cute" before the Trolls sold her to Nokia; I think she still is.

Yes, hobbyist electronic kits were available, both in the US and the UK, in the 90s.

If you can disclose which country you're in, there may be support lines you can call for help. Can you get out of the house? Perhaps going for a walk, running, or going to the gym on a regular schedule might help some? Others may chime i

The diversity lottery is actually good immigration policy. Each year you take a sample of average or above average (applicants must have a high school education and no criminal history, and must pass some health tests as well; they must als

Marketability should not be the only metric for valuing skills. How do you select the immigrant whose child will be the next Michael Phelps, or the next Einstein, or the next Pele?

Of all the ideas in the world to implement how could you possibly come up with this? And to the submitter, I guess this is a Meteor app (and hopefully that's where the connection starts and ends), but this suggests really low empathic inte

As an LLC, you may elect to file (with the IRS) as an S-corp within the first 75 days of your calendar year. You can't just yo-yo back and forth from one filing classification to another so you should take some time considering the consequ

My theory on this is that entrepreneurship has become more accessible in recent years. This means more Americans are starting companies thus reducing the proportion of startups founded by immigrants. Of course foreigners can do the same f

No surprise this is coming from a VC. I think you should build a prototype and engage with potential customers, to (1) increase your valuation and (2) decrease the likelihood that you need a seed round in the first place.

Why people don't seem to get this is beyond me. Releasing Siri and Maps early were purely strategic decisions. Clearly both Siri and Maps can be improved more rapidly if some of the development is crowdsourced. Apple would believe (and r

It's hard to take this seriously. RightSignature[1] and others have been doing this since 2009 or so. I have no dog in this fight; I use HelloFax and have used RightSignature. 1. https//rightsignature.com/

I came across this when I searched for libraries in SF. I stopped by for a visit some months ago and almost pulled the trigger, but ended up not needing it. I'll most likely join later this year or early next. May be a good place to play

You have no idea what I know or don't know. In any case, getting funded isn't some sort of proof that you've built an exceptional business, it doesn't even prove you've built a business. In other words, you don't automatically have an "ex
