Colleges breaks down when trying to turn qualitative experiences into quantitative data, I don't like how the models come out. (Doesn't mean they don't end up successful, obviously.) My fave approach in the space recently has been Unigo.com

Cute - submitted something. My annoyance is how many things are owned by squatters. Domain tasting / kiting really caused so much collateral damage :(

The iPhone component - or "Verizon Wireless Blackberry", whatever it is - infuriates me. I changed my mobile signature on my Incredible to say "Sent from mobile." That way, people know why the spelling might be bad, but I don't feel like I'

That's very illuminating. I have some ideas for displaying / managing flight and travel information that I would really love to implement, but the "Data Problem" has loomed large for experimentation. I didn't in fact realize that it was eve

Not speaking here as a legal expert or anything of that nature, but I can't think of a reason why you would make a different company for each app; there would be no need. Disadvantages there include lots of fees, paperwork, and headache.

Wow! That sounds crazy indeed. My feeling is that if you are reasonably smart, there is nothing to stop you from learning those kinds of skills. Plus, in that kind of situation, it's very important to make sure that you don't get ripped off

I think I am good at all of these things! (And, beyond just 'thinking' them, have had the opportunity to prove myself before). While I know a lot of flaky aspiring business-types, I still get bummed when I see articles written like those th

I think that exposure to new cultures and places can be stimulating and lead to creative new ideas and strategies. Perhaps less so if the company in question is just laser-focused on a consumer web product for the USA, but, in general...

It would seem like the big perk here would be the 40k. I really like the idea of going to Chile to get that support to build a prototype etc, and if I had some friends who were similarly motivated I would definitely consider applying. I wo

Sounds like fun! A little out of the way for that early on a Sunday for me (with MUNI and my bike my only means of transport). I've set an alarm, we'll see if I make it there to spectate ;)

Apparently Flip Flops are in great demand for Haiti assistance. Raise money to get them donated? http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-07-18/news/os-lk-ha...

How much did the flip flops cost each? Is it $10,000 worth of 10,000 flip flops, or 10,000 flip flops at X cost? Maybe people could help to sell them like a pledge drive - people could sign up to sell them girl-scout cookie style, fundraisi

One question I would have is, "how are things different now?" A lot could look similar on the face of it, but the company has grown so much - in users, mission, employees - that that same experience may not apply at present, even if highly

Where does this come from? It's nice to have alphabets, but you still have to learn kanji... All that aside, it is ranked as pretty equivalently difficult to Chinese by a lot of sources. (foreign service, etc).

Oh, come on guys. This is exactly what SkyNet WOULD say if you asked it. If it didn't have tele-presence to kill you on the spot, that is.

I would say Chinese, because you will find more general-purpose use from this. Are you sure of what you want to do? You might change your major, take East Asian Studies, and do something completely different, as I have known some people to

Absolutely - puppy is a really great investment. I think great ROI for happiness and unconditional love.

I definitely empathize with the feeling of having too much attention too soon. That said, I think there are worse predicaments to be in - at the worst, their product flops or never comes out fully-baked, but they had the funds to live on du

I feel very conflicted about the iPod touch. On the one hand, I know that Apple doesn't really care about it, and is focused on the iPhone. I hate getting the same taste of Apple fascism via app store, etc, everything. However, it's quite c

Zoho or Zimbra do a good job, I think. Plus will extend your non-gmail ajax-y world beyond just e-mail. I think a big problem with running your own server is that things can go down! Yes, hosted solutions do too, but I think generally most

Personally I feel a lot better about Twitter + OAuth than FB, but that's just me. As for why not use OpenID? Personally, I don't want to tie my Gmail account to a lot of things -- then people have my email! I don't necessarily want to tie m

The main contention is that although this is good news for wireline businesses, the real future growth in data is expected to be wireless, which is given a free pass from the "teeth" of this proposal. Instead, the idea is just to let people

One approach or "philosophy" which seems effective on other sites is to aggressively favor relevance/visibility on the basis of past recommendations or some other metric. So, creating not a high barrier to entry, but a way to screen out new
