These guys are "building a more efficient market for flights" so they might need the kinds of connections and insight YC promises. If the founders are amazing and yet they need help producing their show you assume it's all a funding issue.

They didn't label everything. According to their research paper ( http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna... ) they covered the "natural sciences, social sciences, as well as the humanities." From the companion article

When I went to install the AIR app, it warned me "system access: unrestricted." Huh? Is that normal for an AIR app? I chose not to install Boks.

If you get a chance, read the interview with the author. It's a good companion piece to the article, and maybe even to Why Nerds Are Unpopular: "They've turned this word 'geek' into a term that's almost romantic in some ways, and through th

Well yes obviously they're a profitable industry, I don't deny that. I'd be the first to hunt down numbers to back up what you say, I was in the card industry myself for awhile. But I wasn't answering the question of 'are they a good busine

The first two clips are a prolonged throat-clearing from a guy who makes no effort to disguise that he is reading. Maybe eventually he recites an argument for us, meanwhile the visuals are a yawner.

Great summary. I watched it too and like you was impressed to see how articulate Reznor is. His answers were insightful and nuanced.

I think the reason your post isn't getting traction is that you don't have anything to show us unless we leave our email addresses for you here in the open. Maybe you should leave your email address and let us privately contact you. I signe

On the credit card question, these already exist - they're called Corporate Purchasing Cards. The reason credit card companies don't do buckets is, as Steve alluded, the merchant data isn't granular enough and in order to place restrictions

I think a paywall just hides a site's content from nonsubscribers so it's just a euphemism for a subscription site. As for micropayments, yes I think a lot of us are familiar with that technology - paypal and amazon fps developer docs ought

It is zippy and although the full-screen view breaks Spaces it gets rid of the already minimal "chrome" (to access click the address bar arrows). Some standard options - even a Preferences menu - are grayed out so it feels very bare-bones.

I loved the Galt speech but it has been a few years since I last read it so I don't recall how much lead-in it requires. Sometimes I listen to the audio version of Anthem Chapter 11, another powerful speech.

I think uni labs should just focus on providing great hub access - big monitors, ethernet, wifi, disk. Students should be issued or be assumed to have laptops and there ought to be a tech support center. Why do colleges continue to overbuy
