This is a really strong back-to-school campaign. I can see this really improving the sale of Kindles and igniting Amazon's Q3 results. Under ideal scenarios, this could save a college student hundreds of dollars each semester.

Not a new idea: http://www.myshape.com/ Website is having serious issues right now but they've raised a boatload of cash over the past 4 years.

The focus needs to remove the concept of time and just frame the mind to think about tasks. This is a foundation of the Pomodoro Technique.

Can someone explain how Wonga took the concept of pay day loans (which has a negative connotation in America) and spun so much posititivity out of their brand? I like how they make it easy to pay bills directly but there is something i'm mi

I'd pay to have an easy to ingest river of what my friends have in their stream. When i use flipboard, I see a few too many articles that I've already looked at on my other devices. BTW - I'd like to see the idea of reading my friends river

Ahead of the curve back in 2009, Vice Magazine did a humorous and brilliant mini-documentary on this very story. It's a very revealing look into exactly what was going on. http://www.vbs.tv/watch/motherboard/colombian-narcosubs

Wow, that's really great. Thanks for the insight! Was this project done as a thesis paper or was there an alternative purpose for undertaking such a long project? I'm pretty impressed with the execution of your team.

Was this a technically difficult operation to undertake? How long did it take to plan and execute? i'm assuming that it's not that tedious of a task to scale and automate. In going through this exercise were you able to come up with ideas t

Totally disagree. I've lived in Van for 15 years and it's hilariously more affordable than LA or NY (where I am now). The Mercer 2010 survey put Van at #75 in the world which was surprisingly one spot ahead of Toronto. Sidenote: the job mar

Calling a real time user activity stream a 'cohort' is technically accurate but I think it sounds inappropriate in this context.

http://www.nucaptcha.com/ Offers a solution in video captchas. Moving letters are way easier to read and if fraudulent activity is detected the videos slow down to a rate which becomes uneconomical to solve.

It's great to hear what's happening in the middle east! I'm very open to sharing the results with my partners. However, slicing the data partitioned by their competitor will surely not work across the board.

Having a plug-in is a descent idea. That's essentially the same concept as what Nielsen does with their black boxes. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the response. I see that you wrote this at around 4:25pm. If you are focused, why are you chatting on HN? Especially when you've publicly commented that you dislike the HN community.

Jason is hitting a low point. If he wants a cut of the Aol deal, would he then give Arrington a portion of the launch conf (because just like disrupt, it's a derivative of tc50)? He's a hypocrite and drunk for any attention he can get. Plus

I second that, how do they monetize? I see lots of ads as the only solution. And ads in texts are super annoying.

the flaw here is that it assumes money is real. With no gold standard, money is entirely based upon perception. More fortunes have been made through adjusting this lens than actual hard work.

on a side note, is there anything good coming out of vancouver right now? I haven't heard of anything since the bootup labs debacle.

I also like that people could totally re-skin Hacker News to look like a site related to actual work. I bet there is a monetization model in selling bland versions of sites (ie: espn.com to look like an excel sheet). Is there a way to share

as a product manager, this is great for me. I can alter my ideas and see how they feel with the real product. It's a great step on top of Axure. You should sell to them for $500k today. nice job with the demo video.
