How about you prove that they are harmful? I'm happy to assume that some research was done, and that a handful of peer-reviewed studies suggest these nutrients have some positive effects (or at the very least are neutral and customers

Did you get those backwards? Or are you saying that only getting 50 mg will make your body react funny because it's only getting 1/2- 1/4 of what your coffee has?

You're right. Because of the layering of 3D printing, you can create shapes and features that wouldn't be possible with casting, molding, or even 5-axis milling machines. Complex undercuts, empty compartments/ hollow areas to

Where is that exception that appearing "fair" or "cheap" helps you? If there's another candidate equally qualified and liked by the company, they company will hire the cheaper one - but as a candidate, you shouldn&#

I wouldn't say they're risk averse. This is the second company they've started and they're 25. Bonus: Educated at top-level schools and companies. This is one of the best YC applications I've seen. Smart people wor

Awesome.I wanted to integrate BTC as an option to cut out their 3% fee. If they can handle it for 0.5 to 1.5%, I'm happy to keep them in the loop

It's not an exhaustive list. Maybe it just shows that they feel they've funded enough realtime location-based social pizza-sharing apps.

Why not? Advances in materials, energy, batteries, would be right up Boeing's alley. Diagnostics, communications for planes? What if YC funded a company that had a novel method to make petroleum extraction 20% faster, cleaner or more e

I think we're the same person. Up until grade 12, I could show up late, stoned, or not at all, skip all the homework, and end up at the top of the class due to tests. I was on-track/ pre-accepted into engineering until calculus ca

I'm not sure. Maybe Facebook knows the blowback from advertisers would be severe and probably grounds for giant lawsuits / fraud cases. Could they outsource or fund clickfarms while still having plausible deniability? Probably. Co

It's not a talent acquisition. It's not a move towards more government monitoring. It's not meant to increase G+ sign-ups or sell ads for more efficient furnaces. It's a play into the growing "connected product"

How is crash data not relevant? Why would the regulators not be able to identify and go for the lowest-hanging fruit, regardless of manufacturing origin? Obviously there are fewer data points for the Teslas, but they've outshone other

I think that just means DataRank is a market research tool. It won't mean companies that use it will spend less on advertising, but it will help them target specific demographics, perceptions, etc more efficiently. Not less spending, j
