No one has really mentioned mindfulness (the "muscle" or "skill" grown by the exercise of meditation) It seems like the real question in this thread is "How do I avoid being distra…

Basically alphabetical order, but if you don't say lexicographical, it doesn't sound as smart. (I am assuming it's a more comprehensive term, having to do with other characters, ot…

Interesting take. I'm also a huge carnivore, to me there's nothing better than a rare ribeye or filet. It's going to be interesting to see how the synthetic meat movement develops.…

Sam Harris's Awaken App. I've used Headspace and other apps; they've all helped with stress. Sam's approach seems to be more procedural, more of a step by step (if such a thing as …

Here is the high-level break down I plan to provide. Again, high level makes me think it should be pretty brief, considering the amounts: Salary 127,500 Hardware/demo equip 20000 S…

TLDR: 1 - How frank should I be regarding the ability to realistically estimate costs for VR software development, particularly as an independent developer? 2 - Is my response effe…

People confuse the term meditation and mindfulness. Maybe like development vs programming. Mindfulness is what has been spreading, but usually it is intoduced as meditation. I didn…

I've been developing in the Unreal engine (VR) part time for the past three years. I'm at the point where my startup needs to have something to transition to where other developers…

Spending time trying to convince investors of what I already know and just building the damn thing without them.

I've watched what I could find on YC's take on this - I have a potential cofounder who : - Has deep domain experience - Balances the startup's roles: He sales/marketing/networking …

Piggybacking on this (slight point on semantics but still important in terms of framing the discussion) Don't tell them, SHOW them. The advice about displaying all of those things,…

My wife is an attorney at an appellate court and tells me she doesn't think a high majority of judges even know what a PDF is. I'm guessing this patent is put there to give a big c…

Webinars are a big thing and most users get invited to many of them, however, usually there is no interaction. If there is a chance to ask a question, it is usually confined to som…

40 hours has been historically used to determine full-time status (and full-time benefits) like health insurance. It's one of the reasons I think this schedule is so hard to get aw…

Have your watched every video produced by YC? I've applied this last round and if I get in, I'm pretty it was because these videos helped me write a clearer and more concise. Even …

You still had "wins" and hurdles you had to overcome. I'd leave it there. If asked, focus on those wins. If I were building a drone company in 2006, I could say I overcame engineer…

I think a wood grain texture would be the right choice

You could call this service "Buzzard"

I will take one Neural Lace, please.

By the way those aeron or steelcase you can usually pick up use from a furniture liquidator. Don't go spend $1,200 on a chair when you can get one for 1/3rd of that

Thank you for taking the time to explain that - it seems the "abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality,from what is strangled, and from blood" is obviously a l…
