Since we're all discussing our dating app ideas, here's one I've had: Why does your interaction with the app end with the messaging thread? It feels like every app decides that once you've been "connected", th

Nice work! I appreciate your tone, the project, and everything. Heck, I appreciate you man. (Subscribing now...) Also this is a great idea and really needed. It’s amazing that something so simple is hard to implement without the shady fact

This is super cool! I’d never considered literally changing the fry formula to keep them crispy - that’s clever. Years ago I daydreamed about this problem (it was never a serious endeavor but fun to think about). I’d thought the key would

Although it feels inevitable, I think what’s interesting to consider is that history would indicate that Apple is likely NOT to be the company that really ushers in the shift from ~5 inch screens we hold in front of us to an AR-based world.

To build on what another commenter said, the idea of manager READMEs made perfect sense when they started out a few years ago - here are my quirks, here’s how I operate, etc. The problem is they’ve turned into something that justifies bad b

Yes - (and totally reasonable question, btw - it's remarkable how hard it is for the folks behind it to just plainly state what it is vs. coating it in buzzwords). BTW - I may be wrong / misunderstanding something here as I'm

Because it's often an excellent experience and makes the vacation better. I rented out a bedroom in my 2BR apartment in NYC for several years and it was truly a wonderful experience. I had a one-week minimum and therefore hosted almo

I totally agree this policy will have many many false positives (to be explicit what that means to me: ads that are improperly classified as political and therefore not allowed). And you know what? I’m totally OK with that! The content i

Bravo. That whole thread is smart, well-reasoned, and puts democracy above profits. Good for them. I particularly like his last point: > A final note. This isn’t about free expression. This is about paying for reach. And paying to increa

First, this is excellent and very well done (the analysis wasn't great for me, but whatever - point made). The part that bothers me so much about this all is the sense of hopelessness it leaves. Why? Because 99.9% of people literally

Well done! I like the style and artwork. Can you share how the business model for this sort of site works? I’ve seen a ton of this style (Unsplash, etc.) and always assumes it’s based on AdSense or similar. Is that the case here?

Keep it up! I have a bunch of friends who wish they had the motivation to put a few hours in every night post kid-bedtime, but don’t have the stamina. It can be tough but keep the momentum going and we’re all psyched to see what you put o

I think what this shows is in the end is who was in the position of greater leverage here (hint: it wasn’t SoftBank). I bet Neumann was all “ok cool guys I’ll walk away with my $700m and you can write down We to $0 and enjoy that.” Turns ou

I think that’s exactly right. The rhetoric about “breaking up big tech” is hitting close to home, and this is their positioning a defense.

Awesome reply - exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! That does sound quite cool :)

Can someone give me a quick explainer on why it’s appealing to pick & eat ANY mushrooms in the wild at all? I’m probably just a dumb “city kid”, but I don’t see the appeal whatsoever. I’d love to get some perspective on why folks enjoy

That’s a really great idea. At worst, you leave the company with a roadmap of what they need to do and that’s real value. At best, they can just hire you to do it :) I’ve found that when you present this in a very objective way, companies

Came here to say exactly the same thing. Look I know Reddit has its ups and downs and there are negative parts of it that I’m likely not experiencing, but I think they pretty much get it and it pretty much works. The upvote/downvote s

So this is cool, and I hate my current business bank (Bank of America). I've been waiting for someone to tackle the "banks suck" problem. But FTA: -- "It’s not a bank, but in practice, it can replace a bank"...Bre

You wrote exactly my thoughts! I was so excited for a new generation of touch-optimized RTS games when the iPad was released and I’ve been disappointed with the options. Do you (or anyone) know of any iPad games that fit the bill these day

I agree with your sentiment entirely! One thing to point out - the ‘long slow travel while working’ mode is still possible even with tin cans. To wit: I just had one of my most focused, productive (and enjoyable!) coding sessions of my lif
