   I think Papa solves a legit need. By the time we (ie millennials) are old, we'll be so damn connected, hopefully loneliness will be low. But between now and 30 years from now, there are millions of seniors suffering from loneliness, an

   I've been at Segment for 2.5 years, and it's been pretty amazing. The founders have done a good job of establishing a solid, but not cultish, culture. Karma is a value, and it's pretty well expressed. Yes, there's plenty

    Thanks for the feedback. It was a quick way to get going...copying things like Instacart and Instawork. Any suggestions?

    Yea, I need to collect some more data on price vs. no price in ad. It seems like a price point of $25 might work a lot better than $49 based on percentage of ads served and CTR - https://cloudup.com/c-Jy2nwWjQC

    Thanks! The idea was a direct result of a friend who was hired to do a 3 month dev contract and got stiffed for the last month ~$5k for no good reason.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yea, the name could probably use some work. I'm pretty small, so I could definitely change the name down the road. Good observation about the price. I purposely don't mention price on the home page because

    I feel like startups change their UI too often as well. Yes, it's good to test new designs for conversion, but sometimes I feel like every time I visit a site, I have to completely relearn how to use it. Sometimes I wonder if designers

    One of the best decisions I ever made at my prior job. I'd take a solid hour for lunch outside, typically with colleagues. Additionally, 2 colleagues and I took a 45 min walk at 330pm everyday. I'd argue that I was significantly m

    I feel like anti-discrimination laws could be circumvented on the same grounds that non-Stanford students can't live in Stanford dorms. As for renting out expensive real estate cheaply, I don't think this would be the case as the real cost

    I've wondered about this for a while, and would love to hear additional input. My guess in that the Bay area proactively does things to limit population density (particularly a place like Palo Alto where I live) and traffic.

    The action is in the city / peninsula ;0) Also, I feel like something like this would further the collaborative entrepreneurial community in the Bay area, particularly the peninsula where there aren't many place to congregate / collaborate
