   Yeah, that's the kind of thing I need to hear! I think I am more of an inventor at heart than I am an entrepreneur. But willing to learn! :)

   I'd like an easy peasy explanation of what a combinator is.

   Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. I think the online ML class (Stanford?) is helping to pump up interest in the laycrowd.

   Nice! I think I should look into this. I sense that I lack a general understanding of what is really possible with ML. (My current understanding is weighted toward underestimating what is possible with ML).

   Machine learning seems to be a meme on the rise right now. What kind of startups are possible in that domain?

   One major issue I have: thinking that all of my ideas suck balls, and that I need to keep churning out ideas until I find something good. Hence why I'm posting here: you guys can help me see the value in the ideas that I do have. There are

   There's about 2 pages worth of ideas in Swedish, somewhere in the middle. ('Cause I imported this straight from my email conversations with friends). Just ask me if they sound interesting but you can't figure out the meaning.

    I am actually a quite competent programmer. And I have execution experience via another project I've done (Interesting Times Magazine). My main problem is simply picking 1 idea and getting psychological traction. I honestly don't know why I

    Would like to know more about the differences. Maybe we can start a new meme. Whenever someone talks about their super-duper awesome social ajaxy photo-sharing app, we can snarkily respond "well, it isn't exactly rocket programming..." :)

    Something I'm wondering: is it relatively easy to just dive into these libraries and start doing useful things with facial recognition? Or is it more of a toy at this point? I have a few ideas in that general direction, hence my asking.

    That's right. I respect ALL competence. What I don't like is to be bossed around by puffy people with ZERO self-insight and INFINITE delusion.

    Everyone should check out the The Teaching Company, they have LOTS of good stuff in audio format. Not free though. Anyone else here a passionate autodidact (that's "self-learner" for you less pretentious folk)? Interested in starting a star

    Now this is interesting. When I read about awesome brogrammers working on the next hip web app with a cutesy hipster name, my eyes glaze over. But you guys are really ENGINEERS, and doing something with massive value. I am a bit surprised t

    Interesting. Here's a random thought: a lot of people meet through World of Warcraft. Can that kind of experience be replicated and tailored towards dating?

    Agreed. E-learning has the potential to: decrease the costs of getting an education, create the potential for "mass customization" of education, reduce credentialism in society, make learning an end in itself for many people, force universi

    It's good to be nice if you genuinely want to be nice. If you are doing it because you are living out a "covert contract", then people can smell that and it's not attractive. Have a look-see at this: http://evolutionmale.wordpress.com/2011
