Allergies is certainly something we're preparing to deal with. Thanks for confirming it :) And I agree with your last point, will keep it in mind when I talk to the chefs.

1) I knew it was a bad idea to move away from Chicago! 2) Yup, I went to Chipotle regularly while downtown. I think I ate there for lunch like 3 times a week regularly for months. It's fine in the beginning, but there's gotta be a way to ge

You can subscribe to as many chefs as you want. Since it's a weekly subscription, you pay up front each week. Here's an example: My subscription to Chef 1: Monday: 1 meal - Wednesday: 1 meal - Friday: 2 meals My subscription to Chef 2: Tues

This is great! I wanted to do something like this a while ago, and YouTube API is powerful enough to build on top of, but never had time. Why don't you have a quick Thumbs up / Thumbs down feature, so you can store data of videos people lik

I'm in almost the exact same situation as you. Just graduated this year, worked for a startup, then moved to SF with a relative to work on our own startup. Would love to meet you and chat, let me know.

What about polyphasic sleep? If the study only look at normal sleep, then obviously the ones who sleep less than 7 hours will be less likely to remember things than the ones who had a full night sleep. REM sleep is important, but REM sleep

Thank you, I can give you more examples of how people can use gmap: - If you love travel, you can show a map of where you've visited. - You can show direction to a place with Gmap Directions API After Google Map, I'm not sure what other API

indeed, i've always combined wine, utorrent and its webUI. Before that it was rtorrent and another web interface, but utorrent is so much easier.

I am also working on a web app involving books, and currently using Amazon to get my books data. It seems to have anything you'll need, even the book's dimension and weight.

I'm not sure why it's privacy related... I'm on his list and as far as I know, the mailing list was vulnerable to spam, so I guess you could say security is lacking. But privacy? Your email address isn't leaked out to anyone (so once the fi

terrible way to filter quality developers... why not just post an open test instead...?

May I ask who designed the site? I really like it. Very clean and simple.

You don't have to get an H1B visa right out of university to start working. You can use your OPT (Optional Practical Training). That will allow you to stay and work in the US for 12 months in your field of study, and it's possible to apply

Once again, I do mostly agree with you. Just want to add a few things: I believe the business doesn't really have this responsibility to invest in those firms/projects that you mention. People do. Nothing is stopping the investors to invest

No, I think you are reading too much into what I wrote about Whole Foods, mainly because I myself am being very critical of Mackey and his firm here. "holding profit making as important and excluding everything else" is definitely not what

Sure, I don't doubt that. I'm all for supporting those public services sorely needed by society. But don't make it into the business's altruistic ideal it not really is. In the case of Whole Foods, I just don't buy it. Whole Foods isn't jus

I noticed that you mentioned people interests at Whole Foods. I try not to get into this argument. One's self interest is one's own, and it wouldn't be right to talk about another's interest as if it is my own. But this is the business's in

No, I don't claim to have "some sort of windows" into their minds, and I don't claim to know whatever their motives are. But I do see the pretentiousness behind what he claims it is. Sure, they are working towards the benefit society. Anyon

Wow. Ok, here goes. Friedman's answer to Mackey is brilliant and exactly as how I expected it should be. I remember reading Friedman's "The Only responsibility of business is to increase its profit", which makes Mackey words here quite laug

Oh yes, I agree completely that wikipedia is not a horrible place to start. I do use the Notes / References whenever I go on wikipedia to double check the reliability of the information. But I do also notice that many times the references w

The internet is a great way to find small bits of information, but most of the time the information is really questionable. Search for a topic and wikipedia is usually among the first entry, which is great for a start but no way reliable en
