Half an ounce - two strains, a quarter oz. of each Edit: Oh, "cannibinoids" my bad. Maybe that's in the breakdown they deliver with each strain.

Apologies to anyone basing their beliefs on religious faith or personal experience. That's your choice, and unfair for me to judge. As for straw man, I don't think that's technically correct, but it's a hard point to mak

I get what you're saying, but Marshall was a doctor. He'd be in the 3% of the group of informed scientists that are working to figure out this scenario. My point is that the general public's opinion and perception of the issu

It's become a politicized issue, and as such, the media has created a narrative of 2 sides and a "debate." Take the 97% and put it into a different context and it makes the situation seem absolutely ludicrous. If you had a so

If 19 get their hat, won't the 20th also? There won't be another hat to get mixed up with... So... 1/(20!) ? It's been awhile since I've mathed. Could be way off. Is this your homework?

Is there someone? Of course. There always is. Finding out whoever that person is and getting into contact with them is another story.

Thinking about the watch recently: If it doesn't become the new iPhone or iPad, it's not the end of Apple. They'll still sell in the 7-8 digits, with a profit margin upwards of 25%. I don't know if it will be successful,

There are tons of positives, and tons of negatives, to opening up your story to the world. (This isn't really daily life, it's the end of a 5 year stint.) If it's not for you, fine. But that's your decision, not his. And

Does Apple care about beating crappy Samsungs in market share? Probably not. There will always be a market for low end/ cheap/ burner phones. There's little room for margins, and those customers don't buy into the ecosys

Remember that Amazon has its new music service for Prime customers. If they didn't integrate that into this somehow, it would be quite confusing.

Exactly. Why would a movie theater, fast food chain, restaurant, or other place offer water as a default when they could sell you something with a 90% profit margin?

For those that have stated their donation amounts, it would be interesting to see what they're all pitching in. For example, that Old Spice dude said he was kicking in $1000... which seems pretty bogus when it's coming out of Old

I don't think he was trying to put words in your mouth like that, but either way... There is some logic, yes. Is it possible that YC affiliates with higher-caliber VCs that are less prone to this behaviour? Is it possible that "su

I don't know, but it could be both? On one hand, most cases of harassment/ whatever never get exposed. On the other, YC thinks they have a good handle on the VCs they are working with, and believe that they are all (or mostly) abo

No more A-holes? Kind of a big claim to make. Combined with the "tell us who you are" line, I'd think there is some degree of manual match-making. Are candidates or companies being screened or vetted in any way? There could b

That was something that stood out for me in Alexis' statement. At a $30 billion market cap, that's $10m per employee. I think that number alone is enough to indicate that YC isn't creating jobs as much as it is deriving value

It's unlike a lottery in that a lottery is pure chance. In a startup, you have an active role in changing the odds to succeed, however small they may be.

Yep, graphic and industrial designers get worked over by stuff like this all the time. A big company puts out a "design competition" and hundreds of students, amateurs, and people early in their careers submit work. Often, by subm

True, but in this case the design is actually really good as well. Nest has the best unboxing and set-up experience I've ever seen. I was blown away by how much thought they'd put into it, and how easy they made everything. It

Immature? Starting a company in another country when you're 19-21 is hardly the mark of someone that's immature. She's not giving anybody a bad name - she's got a handful of experiences and accomplishments that will help
