The 'Vegetable Squeeze Test' is about the least significant function this thing can perform. This is revolutionary and exciting stuff and I can't wait to see what applications develop around this tech.

Absolutely. The same thing is happening here in Vancouver and it is eventually going to suck the life out of the city. Beautiful homes in formerly vibrant neighbourhoods are left empty...indefinitely...held as an investment by offshore owne

Oddly "We've determined your location to be in Canada. We are not licensed to provide booking services for this listing." I'm curious to know what countries get this issue. We've always had open travel to Cuba as fa

Statistically, most couples in America are straight and white. It would make sense to advertise to this demo...however not exclusively.

It's just the musings of a pastor. One shouldn't expect anything approaching a data-based analysis or 'reason', which is utterly at odds with 'faith', from a pastor.

Thanks for typing that out. I thought that to be a very poignant remark.

This is the third article I've seen today by Vivek Wadhwa. The first two were the same, syndicated on WaPo and Singularity Hub where he is staff...then this Techcrunch article. He sure seems intent on putting down Bitcoin.

Seeing this get huge on Twitter. It's the first I've heard of it. Is it special?

Just switched from Rdio to Apple Music. Love it so far. Nice clean UI, great recommendations, huge catalog, 3 month free trail, nice Android app, backed by a mega-corp with a war chest most countries would envy...it's a solid bet that

Why would they? I'm honestly curious. Do you mean that there will be more competition?

Not enough info on the site to make it compelling.

I was curious but I had to leave the site. Far too noisy in every way possible.

Very true. I'm the same height as you and weigh 230. I eat like a bird (not exactly but likely less than 2000 calories per day) and do not lose any weight. The only time I've managed to lose weight was on a raw vegetable juice die

The best bullying prevention is to never sign up for this garbage. "If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews."

Their paywall is sooooo close to getting me. I enjoy their articles and blow through my allotment rather quickly. I would like to see a micropayment service that works on a per article basis.

Too long, self-indulgent, rambling and unfocused. Not once does he mention cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as a treatment though it's the most effective, least toxic, and longest-lasting treatment available. His doctors sound like

Probably more fulfilling...depending on on your computer interactions, of course. I'm assuming content consumption.

Seriously? They expect pre-orders based on a test video in an aquarium tank? I love the idea but this is very early. I'm excited to see where it goes. edit: I see the pre-order link just takes you to a 'sign up for updates' f

Agreed. I also really enjoyed Status Anxiety. For those who want to condense the reading experience, here is a 2.5 hr documentary version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1MqJPHxy6g .

Really underwhelming. YC is such a high-profile incubator yet none of the startups are terribly revolutionary and some are just uninspired or even outright terrible. Edit: I thought I was just being curmudgeonly but I reread the list and st
