I think that good, unconditional friendships and stable communities teach and model self-compassion - seeing others look at us with "that's cool, I've made mistakes too" opens the way for us to say that about our own wea

What's concerning to me here is "Now the investigation is examining all his seized devices". It's possible, although perhaps slightly paranoid, that the message posting was intended to create pretext for seizure. This ma

Or Google Slides - it has most of the benefits of PP or KN, but it's visible in realtime to anyone with a Google account (ok, everyone) while giving you notes and revision history.

Exactly. I used phaxio with a group-ordering side project I built a while back, there really was no better option for getting/confirming orders to restaurants reliably. Love that Twilio is doing this (even though I'm out of the fo

Så morsomt! Thanks for posting - this was a wonderful bit of distraction. I love Everything is Calm - probably because I'm a bad person. :-D

We've been looking for a better way to give and get feedback on our teams (I've been yelled at once too often for giving a candid "I'm not sure that's a good idea" to a manager). We built this so that teams can

Me too. Just need to keep building. :-)

No problem - you gave me a heart attack, though :-)

This. It was my YC application that helped my wife be comfortable with me pushing forward on my startup even if we never make YC.

No indication of this on the YC page, twitter, or FB. Likely trolling, but we'll know for sure tonight. EDIT: Definitely trolling. See katm's (I'm guessing Kat Manalac's) post above.

I like this (even if no-one else will comment). You'll need a way to require re-tweets within 15 seconds, though, as with iPaulGraham...

I'm in the same boat. :-) I keep having to assign myself bite-sized tasks to get done before I can check my email again (Or this thread). Good luck!

I just submitted three very different pieces of writing - a business letter, a short story I wrote last year, and a portion of my YC application. The results were freakishly consistent. Click through to the IBM live demo, and let me know if

That's an interesting question - how do the users interact? Can you have two of the same type of people interacting (a chat/message/game site) or are you offering different value to different users (a marketplace/schedul

True, but Central America is a good place to start.

It depends. I trust my immediate supervisor (from experience), so I told her about my startup side project a month ago. I don't want to leave her short-handed, so I wanted her to have time to think of a succession plan. OTOH, I officia

I like this. I would love to see it expanded to work for migrant families (maybe also a less extortionate method for sending remittances back home) too.

Interesting article. One question that it missed is how Russia might use this leverage if they are planning on losing the American market for the RD-180? I can see them assuming that there is no long-term gain from keeping ULA and the US go

I've never been able to remember where I read that. Thank you. One more reason to regret him passing.

For all the hate Shane's getting in the article comments, he did a good job of illustrating exactly why Periscope is a cool service (and now I have to go look up Meerkat).

The question I'd ask him is how he's felt about the lifetime of command and control? If he's always been the guy who kept trying to change things, adjusting to a startup is going to be a matter of helping him understand how t

I've been in some pretty bad ones (USG software dev) - I agree that sometimes you might need an emergency duck, but that's when you need to start looking somewhere else. If they're crazy or dysfunctional enough for more than
