If someone told me this story in real life, I'd find it hard to believe. On a major news outlet, it feels like PR fluff based on a huge exaggeration. Yet another founder myth.

Could you provide a cost breakdown of the first 10 years of raising a child in, say, SV or NY? I can't follow your thinking here at all. Childcare, from what I hear is immensely expensive, and after a certain age, you need a bigger hom

I'm not quite sure I buy this founders' "myth" of experiencing a transformational mistake - why can't we just be satisfied with them looking for an opportunity and executing well? It's getting really tiring to

Late reply - my point still stands, I've never seen anyone sniff chicken in a supermarket. Whether you do or not, doesn't mean everyone else does. Practically, no one does.

I've never seen anyone sniff packaged raw chicken. I find the thought hilarious. Do you demand to sniff the meat when you go to a butcher? As for the other examples, supermarkets throw away so much that basically everything left is uni

I think it's safe to presume that the cut won't change just because it's packaged.

That's exactly how a white person would respond ;)

Using 'enlightened whiteness' is mildly insulting both to people who happen to be white and those who are non-white who share the same beliefs and behaviour.

You can make the same point in a less aggressive manner.

You often (depending on region and property) have to pay some kind of ground rent and/or non-trivial tax that you can transfer to the occupant. Also they can pay for maintenance and also point out big problems (water leaks - yes they d

Like chocolate, bad turkish delight is a crime, but the good stuff is amazing. The stuff I've liked the most hasn't been from Turkey though.

Indeed.

Because there's always another type of 'elephant' to be thrown in. The networks are just not inherently robust against unexpected features (I'll call them outliers for want of a better term), and this is what needs to be

A few responses here highlight a very common problem in science: namely that people don't appreciate negative results as much as positive ones. We've generally bemoaned (forgive me for not bothering to find examples but they'

There's one at the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung in Berlin but visitors aren't allowed to use it.

This is great - you should really put your name and details on there. You deserve the recognition!

Investment banking is largely driven by sales, as far as friends in the industry have told me. The company simply needs to support an effective sales culture, not a product one.

Many arguments are both partially rational and partially political, but lay claim to being only rational. You might be implying that but it's worth stating as a particular case. I'd say this article probably fits that category, an

What are they, out of interest? Is there a good primer anywhere online?

You need scale for all of these, right? How would you start with an entirely new product or service with no previous presence in the market? I guess you could look at similar products but if you're targeting a new market entirely, you

Say that the padding had worked, you might have rationalised it to to be that it's unnatural to walk on hard surfaces ("our ancestors never walked on concrete"). There are also probably many instances in your life where this

So you're saying, if an anecdote fits your theory, it's proof, and forget searching too hard for anything that runs contrary to your beliefs? I think science works a bit better than this, and I put my faith in that.

Facebook and Google's advertising revenues can give you some idea of the reason.

Not my industry any more, but a PhD isn't about pushing the frontiers of knowledge so much as being a training program for working in academia.

Thanks. I missed that. I'm still not sure it conveys everything. I think work on demonstrating the product and the value is well worth the effort, IMO. I'm actually interested in the service and so might try the free trial to see

I second this. You need screenshots and a video. It feels like you're trying to hide your product isn't ready or something, right now.

That wasn't quite the gaffe that a lot of people made it out to be though: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7121136.stm
