Where is the 1-2 hr figure coming from? Even for my oldest, who is in school, and on a day I work. I'm seeing him on average 2 hours in the morning before he's off to school (young kids wake up early ) and then another 3 hours on

I think it's possible to be a steal for both. Brian has the unique position of being able to leverage this business into something far more valuable than what he paid for it (a road that would have been much longer, difficult, and risk

Have you read "Hold on to your Kids"? It also asserts that peer groups can become the dominant influence, but the danger is that they overwhelm parental attachment. In other words, for the really important decisions (we're ta

Have you talked to a lot of people who would be the customers/users of said "ideas" in an attempt to validate them? Remember, casually asking family, friends, or co-workers about such things is very unlikely to provide real f

At first glance, Terminal looks like it still needs some level of integration and development work. It's not a ready-to-go, install-the-app-and-process-payments solution.

I just got one of these this week! Only $3,000 to register the trademark "internationally", but they try their best to make it seem like it's part of the registration process you've already undertaken and you simply need

This. Without getting into too much detail, based on what you've written, it seems like you've spent time building a solution and are now looking for a problem (with business value) to match that solution with. Ideally, you start

Congrats on launching! The landing page is very impressive (only found a small typo on a testimonial: 'VP Enginnering at Clue') Here's what I don't quite get: why does the GPU differentiation matter to me as a user of yo

I think both you and @lucideer are right at a certain level. I did mean in the absence of cellphones altogether, since I'm referring to the fact that the non-homeless population almost all have cell-phones now, so that's really ju

Thanks for responding. Yes and sorry, I didn't realize my e-mail wasn't visible. You can reach me at hello at that company domain.

I'm not a FitBit user, but I think for a group of people (myself included), being able to measure & track the meeting or exceeding (or not) of goals can be a great motivator for continued work/improvement. For example, if I st

As someone running a business with some similar characteristics (solo, not a subscription, B2C branching into B2B), but at a much earlier stage, I would love to learn more from you, if you're willing. Feel free to reach out to me (e-ma

This. My heart aches on a whole new level when I hear/read/experience children and parents going through such hard things. We've had very close friends lose children at a very young age and it's heartbreaking. I have not

How would an early death for some future generation of ours not be motivating to avoid, if possible? I'd rather my kids or grandkids, etc, not have to live on a planet with an unlivable climate situation.

A week is rarely enough time to expect a real mindset or perspective change, especially if you're not setting out with intent to do so. I'm not saying you shouldn't quit, but if you wanted to give yourself a chance to avoid b

Very possible - I didn't realize it had been changed. My apologies.

For what it's worth, the performance improved quite a bit with subsequent firmware updates. It was quite a remarkable device that impressed anyone I let try it, but finding a mass-market use-case proved impossible. They tried to pivot

Kudos for admitting a misstep and your follow-up analysis is definitely noteworthy. There was a suspicious ratio of upvotes to comments for this thread.

Love your site! My story is very similar with my project VidHug ( https://vidhug.com ). Helping people spread joy & love is definitely a great motivator!

You cite a bunch of very valid criticisms, but then to say directly to the OP (as they posted their own article) that there is "nothing of value here" is excessive, IMHO, and symptomatic of a kind of discourse that only flies onli
