Thanks for putting this into perspective. I say the same thing when people complain that diabetes is an issue that needs to be addressed. Sure, it's not a good thing, but what about cancer? People with cancer would love to trade it f

I'm left-handed too, so I'm intrigued by your note taking. So you flip through notebooks 'backwards'? How does that help with any of the problems left-handed people have with writing (eg smudges)?

by kyro 13y ago
Absolutely. People can post news about what the Biebster had for lunch, and if stories of Lunchables pizza with a glass of chocolate milk resonated with the hackers here to the point where it ended up on the front page, I'd have no pro

I was making a funny about them launching unintentionally by making this submission.

First, you just launched, so congrats! Second, I do have some feedback: -You don't state the problem you're fixing. You have to make the prospect aware of a problem they're having before you show them the light. And even if a

I have a ton of Moleskine notebooks because I value the quality. I have 5 or so filled with class notes, another one as my design sketchbook, and another to practice my daily drawing. They stay in much better shape and for longer than almos

I agree. This submission has taken up about an entire half an inch of screen real estate, and seeing as how Apple hasn't yet offered a Macbook Air with a larger display, I can't really give up that much space. What's worse is

I would very much appreciate an iOS 7 stripping of Mail.app. I've developed this aversion to opening up the app, and if I do by accident, it's a panicked scramble to quit. It's bloated and clunky. I would consistently get con

I agree for a few select industries like healthcare and finance, but explain Square, Airbnb, Pinterest, Uber.

It'd be interesting to see them monetize on user content. With all the pictures of cups of java, bowls of salads, plates of sushi and other food items that are geotagged, Instagram could start including ads for promotions at these rest

Because to check-in for a flight or lookup my reservation I have to 1) search Google for the airline and pick the official site out of the list of all similarly styled links and 2) navigate the airline's site for the exact page I need.

Woah, that's big. This is Pinterest trying to dominate the market, to be the online curated catalog for women. This space has seen a lot of new players, like Fab and Wanelo. And the nature of the product lends itself to network effec

Yes, I'm familiar with both, intimately so with the first. I know it occurs, and was wondering to what degree he thinks it does and if there any controls in place.

Not entirely related, but do you think your assessment of a particular application (team, idea or any other component therein) is influenced at all by the quality of applications that precede and succeed it, especially considering the sheer

I was shocked as well when I read that this survey was part of a randomized double-blind study sponsored by the NIH.

I'd pay for Greenwald-level investigative journalism in the topics that interest me. Sports fans, finance guys, politicians, etc, take rabid interest in their respective fields, for the most part. If Omidyar can staff this new venture

Not to mention, the surge of glucose from eating the sugar cubes could've very well affected sentiment and responses. Daniel Kahneman talks about this in his book, specifically how groups given a chocolate bar in between tasks performe

Liquid might be too unsettling. Pre-chewed would preserve that rough pulpy texture -- a familiarity that'll help customer adoption.

I understand the implications here, but pre-chewed popcorn might not be that bad, especially considering how it won't leave kernels stuck in your teeth.

The problem you're talking about, which I agree exists, has more to do with readers than with the author because I really didn't read any of that in the article. The author just seems to offer admiration for the guy's drive a

Damn good job. Genuinely happy for you, I think more so because I can relate so closely. I've made the very tough decision to not pursue a residency after medical school and to finally commit to jumping into the startup world. It'
