I think the biggest issue is that high (saturated) fat is often combined with high carb (refined sugars, starchy foods etc). My diet consists of high fat / low carb foods and it simply works (for me...). I've lost weight (without

The amazing thing is it works (slowly) on my Nexus 4. Great work!

So I've applied a couple of times and didn't get in. Since then I've actually taken a bunch of time off from startups, work etc. One thing that's been made clear is that the startups I was involved in at the time wouldn&

From the conclusion: The simple fact of moving to 64-bit does little. It makes for slightly faster computations in some cases, somewhat higher memory usage for most programs, and makes certain programming techniques more viable. Overall, it

What exactly are you confused about? Scenario A 1) Toast burns, no fire but lots of smoke 2) Alarm goes off, it's annoying so you wave your hand and turn it off. Problem solved. Scenario B 1) Toast burns, catches fire and your whole ki

Interestingly enough the GPU is approximately the same speed as the upcoming (or current?) generation of Android phones with the Snapdragon 800 SOC. In the past Apple has generally held a large performance advantage in that area. There is p

They didn't have the software or the hardware figured out. Before the iPhone came out, Nokia has 40+ phone models that were barely different. It was like they took every permutation of hardware options and created a new device. It was

It is only a better phone if you print out the specs and compare them side by side. If you go by that method than the iPhone can also never win. But in reality the S4 is a horrible phone (in my opinion of course). I've got one here for

That was really really annoying and pointless. Why has this been up voted?

It is not difficult to find a phone that fulfils those requirements. Nokia 301 sells for <$100 and makes phone calls.

Your response wasn't really constructive. A lot of people may agree with your comment but now that Andrew is at YC it'd be more useful to get his side of the story and learn something from it.

Do you have any proof that the statement is false?

There isn't anything particularly intuitive about the pinch to zoom gesture. Most of us already knew about it because we saw the iPhone keynote when it was originally released. I still meet people that own new-ish iPhones (4/4S etc) that ar

I think I can trust Apple to eventually get their maps right and to the point of Google (or close). I'm not sure Samsung would ever get there. When it comes to software I am yet to see any Samsung product which did not suck.

Sometimes I wonder if he didn't kick off the Linux kernel if he'd just be referred to as a troll.

I'll be more interested when I see actual games running on it. Sony is well known for showning cut scenes of games running "in real time" on the PS<insert number>. I am sure that the PS4 can play pre rendered movies really well in r

That was REALLY obvious advertisment of your startup :P

Personally I'd be worried about making such claims. It's all great until someone knocks on the door with a bag of cash.

That is a very depressing interview. I find it difficult to feel sorry for him since he mentions declining a job offer from John Carmack.

I tried it on a bunch of Android devices and the only one that worked well enough to be usable was my Asus Transformer.

That makes no sense. In Australia the government will happily hand you the best loan you can get for a University education. The loan is indexed at inflation and you don't need to pay it back until you earn a certain amount of money. It doe

My guess is most people prefer not to work with assholes. And its a pretty good guess.

Unfortunately your experience is pretty common. Australia is pretty much the same (if not even more difficult).

Be that as it may he was a complete dick. I wouldn't want to work with someone like that, no matter who he is.

Not really. Plenty of other Android phones that you could have ordered.

I shall repeat: It is very very very hard. We were featured on CNET, AllThingsD, Kotoku, 148Apps and even reviewed on TV. Result: You get a nice bump in downloads for a couple of days then it drops back down. The best thing I have learnt is

Unfortunately I still find it to be quite slow compared to Opera on my Optimus 2x. The difference is speed is quite large.

I love coffee and drink it pretty much every day. The issue I found with coffee drinkers in North America (when I lived there) was that most people would order huge cups of extremely sweetened coffee. I use to call it sugar water with coffe

Sounds like the people in this discussion need to do some exercise, have more sex and laugh a bit more.

Unfortunately this just confirms that recruiters are terrible at finding decent people. The trick is to look for companies that do not look at buzz words and pigonhole candidates based on tools they have used. Those developers might be one
