Am I crazy to think this could actually work as a real business? The other day I was telling a friend how I love the idea of having and walking a dog - once in a while. Unfortunately my life doesn't allow me to have a dog in the tradit

In Denmark we sell our wind power to Norway when there is too much and buy it back when there is no wind. How can that be you might ask! The Norwegians are a clever bunch you see - they pump water when electricity is cheap and let it run ba

Plus your salmon, bacon, vegetables and eggs diet will provide micronutrients needed for proper functioning of organs and immune system. A micronutrient deficit might not be obvious on the short run but can do serious harm to the body long

There exists a group of people for whom ignoring hunger is not an option. I have been interviewing a bunch of nutritionists here in London about this and if they are to be believed this group make up a large percentage of obese people, whic

Cooking healthy food can indeed be cheaper than buying junk if you go about it the right way. Buy kale, cabbage, sweet potatoes, carrots etc. in bulk and combine with chicken or meat when on offer. The thing many people miss about healthy f

From the YC application page: "The ideal company would have two or three founders. We’ll consider those with four or five. We’re reluctant to accept one-person companies, though we have funded a few." There exists a large group of

I think the EF model recognises that a lot of technical people create way more value than they are able to capture working in a traditional company. Some then go out and start companies of their own, but there’s a fairly large gap from labo

Thank you for the feedback tixocloud. It's super valuable!

Thanks! I really think we should play around with this balance of early value vs pressure to sign up.

Thanks. This is a bit embarrassing :-)

Thanks! That's two really good ideas. I especially like including something about delivering meal plans via email in the messaging to make that step easier for the user. We try to drive seo traffic through our blog at http:/&#x2F

Yeah, we want to support vegetarians, but right now we don't have enough content to provide a good experience - as you noticed. It will come eventually.

Do you think we should move the signup ask further downstream? perhaps we could let people use the meal plan without even asking for an email. The problem then becomes that we use daily emails to keep users engaged, and we see a fairly high

Thanks werber. Clearly we don't communicate the purpose of the buttons well enough, as they are actually supposed to remove food you don't eat vs showing recipes with that food item :-)

Thanks! We are focusing on people with autoimmune disease for exactly that reason. They are more in need of this kind of service, so probably more forgiving. Our long term goal is to solve my own problem, which is that I hate all the planni

Thanks Skaplun. Would you add the read more content directly on the page so users can scroll to it? I'm concerned that might distract people...

TouchID is reliable in a way that previous fingerprint readers were not. I use it to unlock my phone and it just works. Every. Single. Time. Well, more like 95% of the time, but it is good enough. I used to not lock my phone because it was

It will probably be more expensive to insure a self-driven car but I don't se it being banned outright. It will be a luxury, a sport.

I'm on the same deal from Three in Denmark and use it as my primary way to internet in London for the last two months. Tethering is working fine, however the danish deal caps at 10 GB when roaming. Also note that calling/texting n

What I was imagining is stripe issuing a credit card that my system can use to perform credit card payments on any generic webshop (either manually or some web scraper) and have that linked to a payment into my stripe account by a specific

I played it on a slow 3g connection in Bangladesh, and it mostly worked. What really killed it for me was the feeling that the feedback you got from the game wasn't consistent with the internal state of the simulation leading you to ta
