Hmm, I'm not entirely sure I understand the "assimilation score". My partner Sarah is at the top, which makes sense, but then some people I barely know (brother of an ex, etc) are like #3 and 4, even though we only have two m

I don't think that people using potentially dangerous drugs want the drug to kill them, or have a complete disrespect of the law. While alcohol isn't an illegal drug let there be no mistake that it is absolutely a drug in every

I'll be the immature one and say I'm curious how funny porn would turn out with this speeding it up by 10x. They don't show much of how it deals with people and I imagine the results would be terribly funny looking- but perha

I guess it just points out that technology != valuation. However, it also highlights that what Secret is doing isn't terribly special (nor Twitter, etc) and that they have a pretty reasonable chance of someone swooping in and taking ov

Same here. I treat Kickstarter like I do the Awesome Foundation grants I help fund (one of the original founding members)- I just give money away to make awesome stuff happen in the world. If I get a benefit in return that's nice, but

I don't get it; Kickstarter isn't a store. I personally never expect anything to come through and get it in the mail when I back a Kickstarter project. I might get something, but it isn't a promise. Why is it a shock that K

I live in Boston (and occasionally NYC) and I rarely give money. My grandfather taught me to rarely/never give money, but always buy any person a meal that asks for it. And I've done so on several occasions; taken someone to a Sub

Vimeo's there, but its even more curated/niche. I've always liked it more, but it hasn't had the same massive growth/traction (and to a degree I think they want it to stay that way). Year ago many people tried to ma

Sadly, this marks the end of an era for me with Netflix. After an initial 'meh' experience with the DVD rental service when they first debuted, one of the things that really got my attention with them was their developer contest t

I want to play in one of these, but this one has ended. Can we spin up another one somehow?

Good point. Just require the use of a Charliecard to get onboard. No cash. Make it easier to buy and find them online or in person.

It took them years to decide to release this data in a usable format, which surely they had internally for the longest time. I agree that 3rd party work is essential to check them, but it seems they aren't aware themselves of these t

If they read comments from the public and acted on them (or at least considered them), it would help. You're right that actually doing something however is more helpful, but for the things that actually need done to the T there aren&#x

Yes, and the lines for paying are zero in length.

I wish the MBTA was more transparent with this type of data and visualization. If they themselves charted things like this for the public, and then made commitments to improve (or at least not get worse) based on metrics that the community

I personally don't think the average quality has decreased much. I remember tons of absolutely terrible NES games.

And FF III has a lot of weird bugs and glitches as well. I remember about half the games on PC I had in the 80's and 90's I just never could get working on my system or had really weird flaws/quirks (especially things that us

I've been saying this for years. We used to pay $30-45 for NES games, $50 for SNES games, and I remember several PC games in the 80's being in the $45-50 range. NeoGeo games were in the hundreds . C64 systems launched at $595, wh

A good point. To be fair, I've only been to CA 3x and live in Boston.

But if you were the target market, you'd understand it. Victoria's Secret doesn't explain the purpose of bras on their front page- yet their target market understands the purpose of them.

In fact, it can be even worse with rising property tax valuations. The home you've owned forever might cost you more in taxes a year than a mortgage would be in many places.

I'm traveling via motorcycle this summer across the US and plan to eat Soylent for around 70% of my meals. I don't trust myself to plan, carry, take time to prepare and cook well balanced meals for ~60 days of traveling. Even free

It looks by his bank statement that he might have done just that. There's a payment for $150 or so from Google on there.

As a developer, I want to think about code. If I have the choice of learning something new, or digging into a new skillset it is going to be about code- not project management. The last thing I feel like doing is sitting in a conference of

I get a book, start a project with a goal, map out things that I know already to concepts in the new framework (Models to Models, etc...). I ask myself what is the same, what is different... I try to separate out language differences from f

I have to think that at least someone at corporate at AppleBees is thinking they should acquire this for marketing. Or that they've actually been trying to build this.

As someone who has used both services (and others like Sidecar) they are all about the same to me. Generally, Lyft seems a little friendlier than Uber. However honestly all are light years ahead of a yellow cab- in which the drivers rarely

Uber started at the top and then did Uber X to go down in pricing. Lyft started at the bottom and now goes up. My biggest problem with all of these services is that there aren't enough drivers (at least in Boston), and I can rarely a

The standard ACH process however just seems slow. Maybe I've been playing with Crytocurrency too much, but it seems in the era of sub-millisecond stock trading... we should be able to figure out how to move $100 one account to another
