Ah, thanks for that. (I had just followed the OP's link, and hadn't known the distinction between metrics/insights.)

I'm an ex-Navy nuke (submarine officer), and this is very likely. A colleague of mine worked on a carrier. Because he was in the (nuclear) engineering department, he had to wear dosimetry no matter where he stood watch. One month he stood

Situps and leg lifts don't destroy your back. Doing them improperly can destroy your back. Doing them properly can really improve core strength and make you a much safer athlete, as core strength is needed for most activities you do in l

A couple years ago I was in a building in Vienna that had one... it was brilliant! It was a little scary stepping on for the first time (probably like stepping on an escalator for the first time when I was a kid, not that I remember) but it

I personally never do, but was chatting to my wife today and heard that most of her office had set google.com as their browser's home page. So they definitely see/notice changes like this. I think that this situation is more common than mo

How do their concert listings compare to Songkick? (I'm a huge fan of Songkick, by the way...) Which then leads me to think... long-term development for Songkick could include bands taking control of or having access to their Songkick page

Well done! If personal willpower isn't getting it done, I'd suggest team sports. I got into rowing a few years ago, and it's been great. Basketball, soccer/football, tennis can be great sports for consistent quality workouts.

I highly recommend signing up to their e-mail list. It's very low traffic (an e-mail about once every 3-4 months) but is filled with great info and photos from the factory, rocket testing, and the launchpad. Modern-day space porn...

It's my understanding YC does the incorporation paperwork for the vast majority of the startups it funds. So there is a per-startup legal fee for that.

Stranger things have happened. I remember when I heard that there was going to be a reality show featuring Ozzy Osbourne and his family, which seemed totally nuts at the time.

I bank with USAA, and I pretty much LOVE banking with them. But agree that they are one of the very, very, very few banks where this applies.

Reto (the author) is a wicked smart developer who is now on the Developer Relations team at Google. While I haven't read/used it myself (not a Java/Android programmer) I can speak to excellence of the author.

One number that I know for sure (it was publicized at the time) is Omnisio for $15 million. At that point it was about six months or so into the life of the company, which seems crazy high to me. TechStars at least publicizes whether the e
