Sure, I agree, I didn't say it was a good way to present things, just that it might have something to do with how programmers think.

This might be a programmer's quirk, I remember when I wrote my thesis, most of the corrections of my advisor were of this nature. Whenever I presented something I would start by enumerating the bugs and limitations, before finally saying wh

There is a big problem with eye-controlled interfaces called "Midas touch".. It gets extremely tiring to force yourself to look/not look in one point.

Honest question: how do they count robots ? I mean, where does one end and the other one start... unless we are talking about humanoid robots of course.

The fisheyetabs extension has similar goals, at least for avoiding scrolling and making tabs easier to locate (no grouping though). The implementation might not be flawless, but I'd like to think that the concept is sound. https://addons.m

Also the famous zen story describes a similar idea: copy/paste: Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the road sides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing una

The gapingvoid comic line comes to mind: Never compare your inside to someone else's outside.

But then you are just one abstraction step away from creating the generic framework framework that can spawn custom frameworks as needed.

"just messing around with a concept, testing the waters" this might be exactly the best way to start something like this.

Probably he doesn't like working for anyone else and it's worth this opportunity cost for him.

Exactly, that's why I always prefer libraries over frameworks.

I was just curious if his Desktop analytics idea worked out, although I suspect he abandoned it.

Yeah, but he was writing frequent updates about his startup, then it just ended abruptly. I was curious how the project worked out and also hope he is ok.

The reason why I submitted this (beyond the fact that I totally subscribe to his views) is to ask if anyone knows something about this guy. I used to follow his stuff, especially the 30 ideas in 30 days, then he stopped posting 2 years ago.

Is that what is called arbitrage ?

If the data is indeed valid, it might have less to do with the privacy concerns and the ads, I don't think mainstream users care about either that much. The site is designed such as to exploit some of the weaknesses of people, such as the f

Ah, ok, I understand now. But I am not sure why that would be more efficient than transcribing it first, then translating it.

Scattered all over the place... scraps of papers, text files, archived emails, notebooks, margins of books... Sometimes I try to go through them and pick something to work on, a few ideas which I don't want to pursue but don't see the obvio

Do you mean transcribe?

Similar argument could be made about the 99% of people who don't play Bingo - yet :) I agree with you otherwise that the two markets are of different potential sizes..

Another excuse they gave was that the founder wrote them emails on Sunday. As if emails could not be read anytime later.

I think your "hook" could be that you are a small (one-person ?) operation based in India, competing with much larger competitors (as far as I can tell from the website, sorry if I'm mistaken). Instead of downplaying it, maybe you could str
