There was a lengthy article I read a number of years ago - the source escapes me (maybe Technology Review) - that described their process at length. To call what they do "research" or "inventing" is to twist those words beyond all meaning.

God I hope so. This Zynga/Angry Birds model that we're constantly being told is the future of gaming is depressing as hell.

It's kind of odd that you would randomly happen upon this thread otherwise. And within 40 minutes of Patrick's post?

Faxanadu was really great, but nobody has heard of it. My first RPG, depending on how you want to classify Zelda.

I find it slightly disturbing that I was able to picture in my mind the exact cover image before clicking the link. I certainly hope that if I had been alive back then I would have had the front page of the paper the day after the moon land

Spotify is obviously still in the land grab phase. I pay $5 a month for it, and would easily pay at least 6 times that, maybe more. Furthermore, the vast majority of its users are still freeloaders. I think a sizeable percentage would conve

Oh, I didn't know that. I saw YC S12 and assumed they had just launched.

Nope, the author uses coffee and caffeine pretty interchangeably, and probably refers to caffeine more than coffee. It's clearly about both, although there is a brief mention of some of the purported additional health benefits of coffee tha

Just curious if anyone has heard about the acquisition price? Not sure if that sort of thing is verboten on HN for a YC co., so apologies if that's the case. Also, is this the new launch-to-acquisition record for YC?

I didn't downvote you, but I think whoever did assumed that you were mocking Bufferbox or being sarcastic. I'm not sure how prominently linking to your site from your blog, while generally good advice, would directly lead to an acquisition.

I've been thinking that this could be an interesting idea, especially when you consider that the Webvan model now seems to be becoming a reality. A larger size delivery box for everything from dry cleaning to packages, maybe with a refriger

Yep, clarified a bit below in my response to nickkthequick that I was talking more about my personal experiences with what I would call minor caffeine overdoses, not the clinical definition of caffeine intoxication. My main point is that th

Yep, I've read all about clinical definitions of caffeine intoxication, and its relative rarity isolated from any other factors. I guess I was a little sloppy in labeling what I'm talking about a "caffeine overdose", although I think what I

by rpm4321 14y ago
Anecdotally, this seems like pretty reckless advice, and I'm a caffeine junkie. Don't get me wrong, it's clearly not crystal meth, but Caffeine overdoses are real and can be dangerous, especially in a situation where you are drinking a boat

I agree with you that there are certainly some risks, so I'm shocked at how little attention the idea of neural interfaces and intelligence augmentation gets, even in a tech savvy place like HN. It seems like the concept is no more pie in t

Hey pdog this isn't really in response to you - it's more something that's been bothering me for awhile - but who the hell appointed Gary Marcus the arbiter of all things AI? The New Yorker apparently hired this guy to be an AI columnist, a
