   I think clarifying the question is helpful. "How do I find investors?" "How to I make the best experience possible with only $7,000?" "How do I not get outbid when outsourcing a project?" "Who wants to hel

   I agree with the advice of validating your idea by asking the target users if they would be willing to pay for the service. Maybe start making a prototype (Balsamiq/Prototype of Paper rather than code based). As to keep it hush-hush: &

   There's a lot of science or research related to meditation. I like mindfulness meditation. Meditation definitely seems to reduce negative emotions, and also cultivate positive ones (or at least make space for them). "Mindfulness m

   I wish AMZN rankings couldn't be bought (or Yelp reviews). I am less naive about their accuracy than I used to be. There are too many stories about manipulation to believe them without a little skepticism.

   I appreciate this response. Besides getting out and living life, do you have any good resources for developing the three skills you suggest- distinguishing between short term and long term greedy behavior, how to act selfishly most of the t

   It's easy to get stuck, and hard to get unstuck. It's often less about your skills and more about something like fear. Get valuable feedback and incorporate it. That means build and use your network for helping shore up your weakn

   That would be great. Can this easily be automated so companies don't have to do anything and the result is there, helping people?

   That process is happening right now, and it is interesting. But will it continue, aka is it a viable long term workaround? Articles being removed is new and in a sense exciting for the press, Google, and the public- that probably won't

    Interesting to see. I'd love more explicit measurable predictions and then, like this, observing the results and reflecting.

    Wow, what a story. They sound like they're killing it, the founder's motivation is admirable, and she's making a positive dent in the world. I hope they succeed. Inspiring.

    Thanks for posting this! Grateful for the Adioso links. I'm for the trend of people at start ups talking more openly about what their experiences are like, Australian or not.

    Icelandic yogurt (or at least Siggi's) is great! Much "Greek yogurt" on the market is not once-extra strained milk and cultures. This impostor yogurt has added thickening agents like pectin and/or added protein to be lik

    If everyone called it pre-ordering and not crowdfunding, I think there would be less "controversy"/ upset people. (I realize the crowd might be providing the funding to make whatever endeavor possible, but if it's ultima

    From a blog comment- is it convicing? "One central question in the philosophy of physics is how we should understand quantum mechanics (QM). We may want to know what we should take QM to be about. It’s worth noting that, in some (but n

    I agree. In my experience scientific researchers were not interested in philosophy of science and meta- questions that interested me in philosophy. They would engage in conversation but I doubt they concerned themselves with the big philoso

    Cupertino and southern Marin County, Tracy and San Francisco have a similar geographic range. Are they grouped together? These are all quite different places to be. A lot of arbitrary choices need to be made when dividing areas. It's g

    If Cupertino and Marin are considered the same, and Tracy and San Francisco, I would agree. But they are very different places to be in, LA and Riverside.
