X Prizes (and their ilk) are great, but they have limited application. So much of what developers do is not directly measurable. For example, how do you measure the value of a scalable, modular, and extensible platform that will serve as

Approach #1 sounds like many that of existing recruiting firms. Until you achieve scale, you will be influenced by the same incentives that haunt this industry. Approach #2 is more interesting. You're basically acting an "agent&

Are you suggesting that we improve AI by directly tapping into the human brain's 3D representations? (Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "interface".) We're still at the beginning of learning how the brain

How will you be unbiased when you start to monetize this? Are you planning to find a way to be compensated that is independent of whether someone gets a job using your service?

Sounds very gimmicky. What have you done to validate the market for this product? Also, what relevant design and manufacturing experience do you have?

That inspires a bit more confidence, but it actually does take a lot to embarrass the medical system into fixing itself. Many, many people have written indictments of the medical system. Based on recent events surrounding drug prices, it

I agree that there a huge opportunity for improvement in mental health treatment. However, I'll be blunt: you seem woefully underprepared for this undertaking. Your care for your girlfriend is admirable, but it was one single case.

If you consider all of the time and effort that they put into this case, they spent a hell of a lot more than $1M. We're focusing so much on it because it a single line item.

It's interesting that these two companies are so competitive that they can't even work together in trying to win over regulators. Doing so would likely be mutually beneficial by increasing the size of the pie. Evidently it will

This looks very promising. Please tell us more about the current state of the company. Your blog and Twitter feed suggest that progress is slow at the moment.

Minor note: At the bottom of your page, your link to "GeekyBuddha" is broken, and the Facebook link doesn't work for me.

Playing against a national pool is a great idea. That alleviates my concerns about jealousy. I play chess online, using a mode where the site will automatically match me up with another player of similar strength. It's a lot of fun,

What led you to decide to make the app social? The competitive nature of challenging your friends seems like it would often poorly. (I recall a lot of jealousy when I was in school.) Would your product also be effective in "single-p

Cool app. Minor suggestion: In your tagline, you might want to use a word other than "create". When I read that captions were created with AI, I assumed that your app was writing the captions.

I thought your first response was a bit confrontational, but this one was very effective. Point taken. :)

Nice idea. Companies love to publicize their charitable contributions. Leaderboards (both for users and companies) would be a great way to promote more use. How do you plan to deliver value to the companies while not appearing to be too c

You have some nice ideas on how to improve on LinkedIn. However, you're not offering functionality which is fundamentally different. Thus, I strongly doubt that you'll be able to overcome network effects. In my opinion, you need

Whom do you consider to be your competitors? The space of automated financial advice is becoming very crowded, but much of the focus so far has been on investments. Is it fair to say that part of your differentiator is that you aim to prov

Not completely jokingly, you could follow up with constants.io (the domain is currently available). It would be used for "constants" in the programming sense-- i.e., named values that are not actually constant over time, but rarel

I really like the idea of gather stats that will be useful for scouts and recruiters. Your current app looks like it is more targeted at kids. I would focus more on high schoolers looking to be recruited, and aim to create something of a

I like the idea. I strongly believe that we need more financial education, and this provides a tool for what many parents already attempt to do manually. It would be great if you could extend this more explicitly into math lessons. That c

Solving a hard problem can indeed be a good strategy. Trying to solve two hard problems at once can prevent a startup from solving either one. Since both of these have their own independent value, I would suggest that you focus on one fir

Fair enough. I should have instead claimed that many companies will inflate how much they care about diversity, some to large extent. For adding content. I was about to suggest creating a diversity ranking, but of course this has already b

Building an AI Assistant is a very hard problem, in and of itself. Making your service decentralized seems like it will add a lot of complexity and present some limitations. Why can't you just follow good security practices? As evid

This just looks like a job board with ads for companies. Of course they are going say that they take diversity seriously. What have you done to curate this site? I expected to see some sort of data about the companies.

Exactly. I think we should wait until they shut down Xamarin before we get out the pitchforks. The simplest explanation is that they want to focus all of their cross-platform development resources on the core product that they acquired, a

Why is a chatbot the best medium for your service? When I'm doing product comparison, I like to browse through products with pictures and to see tables comparing different products along different dimensions. I understand that you ar

This is quite a loophole you've found here. Do you know if would be legal to allow users to opt-in to playing randomly? It could still technically be a game of skill, and players would just be choosing not to use skill. Then, it lit
