I'm sure there could be al sorts of interesting applications for this if it was cheap or if it was relatively easy to transport . Teenagers, parents, renters, students, vacation homes, tourist flats. But I don't see why this is better/diffe

We don't have perfect choices. Imperfect journalism with limited access or access to the chatter. There is bad journalism too. People tend to be less on guard themselves when presented with bad or biased journalism. At least with twitter, p

It wouldn't be of much value in a vacuum. But Iranian-US dynamic didn't start this week. 'The US is manipulating Iranians,' is a storyline that Iranians would be open to. It's a pre-existing fear.

Twitter is being used by foreign powers to spread misinformation & seed malcontent. Twitter is taking orders from the United States State Department about what it should & shouldn't do in Iran.

Consider the context. He's not talking about an invulnerable plan for when you can no longer work. He's just sort of playing with numbers to see if you can live without a job by being somewhere heap & what that would look like. Some of

Until recently that was close to the interest rate from a basic savings account in Australia.

I still don't understand why no mainstream politicians ever get behind decriminalisation or legalisation. BTW, I'm not so sure about decriminalising use. I don't really understand the point. It doesn't meaningfully address most the issues.

I wonder what kind of result is more interesting. Creating something that can be defined as life that is how it happened naturally or something that can be defined as life isn't how we did it.

I don't understand the logic flow of this article. First it seems to place to place freemium & micro billing in opposition. I don't see why. Then it goes on to describe all sorts of problems that might affect a freemium model. They can

It's a bit early for these comments. There aren't that many programmers in their 50s because there wasn't as much need for programmers in their twenties, 30 years ago. Demand for doctors has been more steady. That's half the story, but it's

I think there are some other questions that need to be asked here. I'm not sure exactly how to phrase this: "Of the software-centric industries, what percentage of employees are actually writing software? What percentage of software develop

I agree with the premise that an electric bike is a great way of commuting 5-20km. However, the problem is the same for electric bikes as it is for good quality push bikes: theft. Bicycles get stolen like nothing else in a lot of places. In

I hope you're right. Requiring censoring software to be installed on people's PC's may get people's attention. Currently awareness here is very low. The performance issues have been getting a big portion of the attention, if is to be had. T

Disappointingly little information on the site. I can see that there are two programs : CS & BusAdm. Are these made up of courses? Which ones? 3 yr full time? 4?

This kind of thing gets me excited. Ideas spinning. All that. What my mind keeps hovering around is a core that others can build around. Small or large groups, online or offline taking these courses together. Co-ops where later years tutor

Apple on the other hand, often seems to actively prefer to compete at a disadvantage. It's hard to get an Apple for work, it usually employees voicing (loudly) a preference. They rarely use price to break into or maintain markets. They want

Months ago (or was it years), there was a similar article on here. You (or someone else from your startup) suggested the same thing. I signed up. Even though watching your video or reading your blog doesn't tell me what you do at all. Now l

I would be a little wary about reading into comments about this. Immediate thoughts brought on by a quick browse are often different from while-using wishlist items. There are also a wide range of possible uses for this. I am guessing mine

Great app. A few thoughts. - The demographic segmentation just doesn't work with 50 answers. Maybe package it (say $5, $20, $50) & either only offer segmentation to the higher ones or recommend against reading too much in to the lower o

I also disagree for 2 reasons. - At $5, you could try it out & develop trust as appropriate. This isn't market research with a consultant who can guarantee anything. This is DIY & you decide for yourself what it's worth. There's roo

I quite like that it's ultra-simple right now. 1 price, few options. Not something you need to think about too much. Just do it. I'm not saying that choosing your own demographics, number of participants, more complex surveys might not be u
