how cool would it be if this obama tech team really bolstered recruitment of more software engineers into gov't? I'm talking federal, state, and local level. Just like each state has senators and reps; 1 engineer for every 1M resi

it's hilarious to me how many people are upset with YC experimenting with snapchat. what are pitches about? explaining your startup/idea in a easy to understand manner. What do snaps do? force content to be valuable in a constrain

I hated the idea of twitter for a long time because I thought it was the shitty part of facebook (incessant updates from people whom I don't care about) x 10, because it's just a feed. But since I started really getting into it la

nobody is asking you to read them though -- the only way you get better at writing is to write. If after writing a couple duds they get better, then the statistics will let them know that more people are reading it. I think medium is an exc

I like to compare it to the research done on olympics and their economic impact. Big investment in hopes of a strong injection in the economy. The opposite happens, once the event is done, the facilities/stadiums/everything goes u

Food/drink intake is probably like 90% of it, yeah. It's important to keep track of calories, absolutely avoid shit food and do the right kinds of workouts.

eating within a specific period of time long before you actually go to bed (become sedentary). I wake up anywhere between 7-10 am, immediately go top heavy with big breakfast -- you're going to be moving about the entire day. By dinner

Since I've began intermittent fasting (Only eating in between 8am-8pm) my appetite and amount I can eat to be satisfied has decreased tremendously. It's crazy how quickly changes can be made to your body

they just need something to pick on. It's a shame it has come down to this, with all these officials attacking Uber around the same time in an attempt to stifle them

haha needed and what they got are entirely two different things. It's unfortunate, but the problem was that because it was a government website, the developers were strictly not allowed to get help, i.e. have someone review it/ask
