How do you deal with blisters? I tried barefoot running, made it about 1/10th of a mile, and had to walk back on my heels because my feet were raw and bleeding. I had large blisters for a few days after.

Was your post antagonistic towards the YC company or removed for an otherwise valid and transparent reason? If hacker news is removing posts by competitors, or giving their startup founders free range to remove posts I should probably start

Its worth noting that the Keith Hennessey's entire blog is anti-democratic party's economic policy. He has only worked under republican congressmen and presidents. This is hardly an unbiased source.

Do you have any sources on alternative systems of accountability for doctors? Or that go a bit more in depth about how they are unique in self-regulation? I haven't heard of this before, so thanks!

Couldn't you get the same benefit by just using the Arduino bootloader and including a USB connection? That way things could be reprogrammed in the arduino environment and you could still use your custom PCB. If nothing else it would be m

So hackernews doesn't have PM's. If you don't mind letting me pick your brain a bit about startups/research/neuroscience, shoot me an email at cantsayimpleased@gmail.com (or put your email in your profile).

I second airbnb. Advantages over craigslist and the like for subletting: You can sort by availability dates. A lot of craigslist postings start three months from now, I saw people trying to sublet for next spring already. The pricing is in

Why is this quote worth considering or insightful? What does it add to the discussion? Have you done half of those things? Did you really get anything out of it? Some insects specialize, some do not. One could just as easily say farmin

This is actually what those sponser-a-child/build-a-well/kiva type charities do. For example, go to kiva and you'll see a bunch of people you can lend money to. These people already have loans, you aren't actually lending money to them.

An online college has a lot of startup costs, unless you're just making a diploma mill. You need to get enough profs to teach a degree's worth of classes, especially if you're getting accreditation. (also, as an aside, the accreditations
