Barbells I've got down solid. I was on Stronglift's 5x5 for quite a while. Now I've been getting more gains from a hybrid zyzz's workout, with enough compound lifts mixed in. My diet could use some work though, as tha

I was there at that YC startup school where Mark said younger people are smarter. The atmosphere in the air was part humor and part insight, not some seriousness to mean that older people are stupid in anyways. The most important thing he

Can't some code screen scrape instagram and then get the picture data that way? I screen scrape using firefox using zc.testbrowser libraries but there's libraries where you don't need a browser. hacking that together in curl or even mecha

Yeah, I think both of you are right. Its part that there are scammers out there who use gambits and deception, and there's also due dillgence by yourself that must be done. I need to mention that as far as a track record goes, a lot of the

I think a good analogy would be like a college girl getting completely drunk and passing out in some guy's bed at a party and the guy takes ripe advantage of the situation. What he did was wrong, but she was still completely foolish to put

How do you know the full story of it? A lot of startups in the valley now are totally dicking their employees out of equity and doing "firing layoffs" instead of really laying people off. How do you know that journalspace wasn't being shad

Please put something more into it to make it different than d-link's or any other wireless picture frame that can also pull stuff from facebook/etc. Is there an ease of use advantage? Just saying its "social" is played out and only works i

Starts out good but just chooses and explains a "middle-ground" and then goes into "just be yourself, the situation will dictate the strategy to use". That's how I feel, but its a little bit drawn out.

The foundation of this whole bubble is too much (often its not that much) growth and no revenue or even future hope of revenue what-so-ever. In short, there's a lot of bullshit start ups out there.

It was EXTREMELY painful just drawing simple stuff because the "free transform" resizer would pop up after every segment drawn. Make this optional. Also, don't even make people sign up. Not right now. Later.

hahahahahahahaha, those guys are making bank off of the publicity they're getting. The lawsuit probably won't even cost them near what they're getting. Its nothing more than a bundled up hackintosh. Their product is pure hype from the di

There's some good companies on there, but most... are just bubble startups, especialy 90% of that contenders category. If thats the best 25, I don't even want to know whats below that...

I might finally make the switch and use it as a desktop. My main concern is that wpa support still might suck for linux. I'll wait a little bit until I hear more good reviews.

I can just feel the angst and envy in this thread. Despite being a silly product, they still worked very hard on it and built up enough spin and hype to get it to that point. It brings up the argument that a startup can do any kind of shena

The videos don't seem to work when I click play on several browsers/boxes. Are they still being uploaded or something?

There's always the typical examples: myspace with a hardcore spamming operation, facebook with beacon and some minor spamming/data theft in the beginning, youtube - pirated content. Ebaum's world - totally stolen content. Those are obviou

This article is nice, and I agree with the part about momentum gained by holding to greater values than simply building a successful company. However, PG doesn't mention the incredibly successful startups that start out with evil/crime and

Yes, it was a very nice presentation. There's too many kool-aid drinkers in the web 2.0 world these days, and its a true breath of fresh air to see somebody with some real business fundamentals talking. I hope his talk makes more people wa

Alot of people here are referring to fear of messing up and failing as a means to gain motivation for a startup, whether its letting yourself down or letting others down. I hope people don't get stress confused with actually working hard.

Bleh, right before I move to the bay area, people are organizing get togethers all over the place. :( I used to go to defcon702, but that fell apart. Its always good to go to weekly gatherings related to computers. You get kind of a netw
