If it's for a product, I say start with the name that most clearly communicates what it is that the product helps with / problem it solves. Think "Can Opener". That's the kind of name you want for your brand or product to start. Even the bi

JTG also emphasizes active literacy (writing, speaking) versus passive literacy (reading, listening). One without the other is as a table with half it's legs.

Hi Mz, I think the true test is to go to an educational institution and observe first hand what is happening. Is it a or b and to what extent either of the two: a) Education that helps people leverage their innate curiosity to become free a

The ad hominem attacks and annoyed tone of your argument betray a disintrest in any argument that does not match your established view. I invite you to consider new ideas. "crank": An eccentric person, esp. one obsessed by a particular subj

Fatbird, you suggest that we "reliably detect the optimum education environment for each student, and 2) give it to them". Replace the word education in your statement with the word training and you have a good definition of what exists in

Great article. Unfortunately the vast majority of the so-called education to which people around the world are exposed is not education, it's merely schooling. For those interested in the difference I suggest reading John Taylor Gatto's boo

Great feedback Andrew. I think we need to change the design and make it more clear, however we do request that every completed "order" receive a review and comment from the customer. We also allow chefs to receive written endorsements as we

Great suggestion, thank you Marquis! To everyone in California, we do have a few chefs signed up in San Francisco [1] and Oakland [2] although we've only just started to promote the site in the USA. [1] https://chefsurfing.com/en/chefs/uni

This is no typo. To date we have only booked 169 chef services. We are focused on delivering bookings for the chefs however due to the open nature of our platform we have no way of knowing how many bookings a chef actually receives as a b

This is true. The grey zone in which "Closed door restaurants" operate in Buenos Aires, for example, requires only that the chefs have catering licenses issued by local government fairly liberally. Chef Surfing is a startup born in Buenos A

It really depends on the chef and city you are living in. In Santiago, Chile service prices start at 10,000 pesos ( ~20 USD ) per guest. If the size of your party is larger the price can be lower however that is generally the starting price

My suggestion is to focus yourself on doing the activities in your life that you find virtuous. Make a list of three things you decide are valuable and pursue them. Focus on them and do them one at a time. Trust me, this will work. You comp

Well done! Also you deserve a big thanks from Filepicker.io - this is great inbound marketing for them.

"Visualize data, not code. Dynamic behavior, not static structure." Yes! This reminds me of what Rich Hickey has been enlightening the world about as well [1]. Bravo Bret! Thank you for writing and sharing these ideas. [1] http://www.infoq

I read a quote recently that "most startups get interesting around 18 months". I think you guys are giving up too soon. Workfu has enormous potential. Either way, kudos for making it as far as you have.

I pitched "sysadmin as a service" to a sysadmin friend and he was totally against it. He said we don't need more sysadmins, we need better developers who understand sysadmin fundamentals and know how to build stable systems. How about takin

Could you build a well-designed and easy to use interface which taps into the wealth of information and knowledge available on Archive.org? Would it be kosher according to their terms of use? I can imagine this would be a great project or w

Backlift seems like a great tool thank you for taking this step! I was setup in 5 minutes. The writing on the setup docs is straightforward so I think I could pass your link on to "less techy" friends and they would be able to be up and run

In my opinion it's more of a bad sign that they are so desperate and not focused on generating passionate users who are gaining some inherent value within the system itself. I don't have any hard evidence but anecdotally I can say I know pe

Does not seem like a minor thing to me and worthy wanting to leave the system. Emailing them worked for me last week. This behavior reminds me of an early ( now-defunct ) social network which upon a person's registration would attempt a log

It seems to me there is only one good response to this type of corporate behavior: remove yourself from the equation. ou are free to quit and have them remove your data from the system. I did this last week and I feel much better now. To Qu
