Things to consider: 1.) Creating a filter system that finely discriminates between similar conditions (i.e. many ailments have very similar external symptoms, how will you distinguish between them?), but don't make it overly complex with a

"I don't think Craig's a bad guy, but he's harvesting $50M a year into his pockets and not improving the site." Pretty sure Craig Newmark is a nonprofit sort of guy with perfunctory role in the company. Blame Jim Buckmaster for Craigslist's

It would be nice if the article gave analogies to the varying effects of gravity depending on your location in the world (e.g. jumping up and down on the north pole would be like jumping up and down in North America with a 5 pound brick att

It's not a bad way to gauge your own knowledge and expertise. If others generally find your advice/tip/suggestion useful, you will know when they up vote you. I agree karma isn't the end-all-be-all solution, but it may serve as a reality ch

Is it better to: -create a name using a combination of existing words? (e.g. MySpace, RadioShack, etc.) -create a name that doesn't really mean anything to a majority of users (but possibly memorable)? (e.g. Twitter, Tumblr, etc.) -create a

If you're sure it's not medical related force yourself to go out and talk to someone. Anyone. About anything. I'm a college student too, so if you want to talk, email me at yadavh@umich.edu and we can set some time to just shoot the shit. Y

Where did you get the inspiration for something like this? I think it's super sweet to run into hackers who implement concepts I learned in my boring neuroscience classes! As I develop into a programmer in my own right, I am noticing with i

I love the video aspect...but if Ebay decides to adopt a similar strategy? As I was going through your site I thought of a somewhat ridiculous concept, but I figured as an entrepreneur you would be open to any possibility. I guess I'm just

You bring up a very good point, but if we take the politician example, I view extroverted as engaging with the public and facilitating what the public needs. Maybe what's wrong with the political system boils down to false promises and inab

On one hand I admire Groupon's tenacity to do their own thing when they flipped Google the bird for their acquisition offer, but realistically, I seriously can't see how they can survive for another 2 years tops. Groupon claims their databa

What do you expect? How can you have someone that doesn't like talking to crowds be a politician or someone who avoids cameras be in the entertainment business? I guess, then, that leaves the extroverts to fill the gaps... I hate the idea o

I think the point of the article was that smaller innovations can eventually lead to the greater pushes "that generate large amounts of new economic value" Coming up with those "big ideas" is an extremely tough thing to do. Often, people wh

A very cool idea, but this could get disorganized really quickly. It looks like someone manually filters ideas before they are posted on the site, which can become extremely cumbersome if you get thousands of ideas a day. How does one autom

Idea theft is something many people freak about, but in actuality it happens more infrequently than you think. I have visited several inventor's guilds where complete strangers meet up and share ideas. At my first meeting I expected to sign

Depends really. Going pre-med, college is a massive waste of time. The organic chemistry and physics is something you will never use as a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, etc. For business, it can be pretty good depending on where you land up. I
