Thanks for taking the time to share this story. I'm not deaf, but I can very much relate to some of what you've said. Especially the loneliness part. I'm an English speaker who's spent the last year in France. I'm currently working in a F

Hi - do you have a similar list of startups in Paris?

Please elaborate on why you think Instagram on Android is silly. I'm don't quite follow.

If he claims that he's now fluent in French then he needs to back this up with a posting of his voice (or a youtube clip) of him speaking in it. Let that be the judge of how fluent he is.

Can someone please explain to me the advantage of NOT having a single window display in an application such as this? I'm being serious here by the way ... I remember when I tried GIMP many years ago. I had many little windows scattered ac

And free (which goes in like with your frictionless comment).

I agree with you, but what irks me more is the disingenuously of it all: "We'll take care of the rest". So basically I sign up a friend to receive petty "gifts" that some third-party chooses on my behalf with absolutely no thought given on

Worse, as stated in the article, is that the message is in English, which many people won't even be able to read.

The overuse of exclamation marks makes me cringe when I read this article. Nonetheless, he's got some solid points. I wish he gave more concrete examples rather than just the one on getting up early.

I just downloaded this book for free because I was suspicious of the contents and thought it'd be another airy book filled with old quotes and obvious but encouraging sentences. Now that I've read the first 3 pages I want to pay for it. Is

You can choose the French keyboard layout with this link. Thanks !

Very well said, and I agree to a certain extent. We'll have to see what actual users have to say about this. My guess is that the portability of the front camera on the phone means that you can not only show yourself, but also point to thi

This is extremely awesome. For those who feel hesitant about this (ie - not getting enough taste), I would recommend trying this for, say, breakfast and gradually increasing the frequency.

I just read the article, and the one main point s/he makes that struck me is that in Japan, as opposed to Katrina, the citizens KNOW that they'll be looked after. Comparing the situation to here in Australia where we had floods and hurrican

> Why do people pay for this? So that you don't have to bother installing each of these items separately. No downloading, config files, drivers, etc. It's all just there.

I have different goals/passions that don't seem to relate: programming, fitness, speaking different languages. Often, my greatest anxiety episodes arise from thinking of how I can balance these, and have a social life and do the laundry at

Exactly what I was thinking. It's also striking that while France is virtually empty (except for Paris), its neighbouring northern and eastern countries are a stark contrast.

I commend your efforts.. but no screenshots? I'm curious to see whether it turned out to look the same as it would have using IB.

That's amazing. Is this real-time? Or fast-forwarded motion?

There should at least be a feature within our profile settings to disable this.

I'm sorry but could you please explain the difference between a diary and a journal? I just realised that I have no idea what the difference is ...

You've posted perhaps one of the better definitions of this guy's attitude, and I have to agree. However, while he's criticising UI design flaws, he doesn't actually provide any real ideas/examples on how they should fix this. This might j

Very, very interesting! I felt a little heartbroken when I was watching the little shrubs grow and then suddenly get chopped off sometime in September.

I like your comment from a moral perspective, which is that we really should really be diverting this type of creative energy into reducing energy consumption (wastage?) rather than finding ways of fueling existing consumption levels. Howev

Does anyone know of any apps written in this?

You might want to check amazon again. I live in Australia, and I just recently bought 2 books from amazon Japan.

sirn is damn right about the learning curve, but once you get the hang of it (as I have), it's an absolute pleasure to type in Japanese. So much so, that it makes you almost regret having to type English messages.

There are many things we say in our daily language that are either pointless or contradictory. This article talks about "but-head" sentence prefixes. Another example would be disingenuous greetings, such as asking "how's life?", "how's yo

The difference is that your first paragraph involves consent, and the second paragraph doesn't.
