Restaurants do use the ugly food, there's many grades to choose from when you're a wholesale buyer purchasing from specialty suppliers.

Sure, but restaurants have special needs relating to getting groceries. When they want "avocados" they don't just want any case of avocados. They may want a case of "locally source…

Enforcing quality-standards for services rendered sounds nightmarish for either the end user or for the service provider. It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out for …

I was also thinking redbeacon.com, although they've already exited to Home Depot so it's not so much of a concern.

Agreed, food / grocery delivery and transportation services would certainly be interesting, but defining the rates based on some sort of a base-cost-unit like mileage and speed of …

You're thinking about it incorrectly. Here's what the $200/hr developer does: Identifies business challenges and offers a custom-tailored solution that will generate more money tha…

I was checking to see if someone else already wrote this. This is one of the first things I was thinking.

Not realistic if you run a business that actually operates in the real world.

I agree, it was honestly difficult to read this article and to reconcile the thought that I do business banking with Chase. I've been thinking of a few non-profit startup ideas to …

Ah. I understand what you guys are doing now. This is an interesting and challenging concept to execute. I wish you guys success! My only question remaining is how you guys handle …

I'm curious how this works with the legal landscape of US regulation. I'm 99.9% sure the law would consider this equity compensation in exchange for labor performed, since this is …

That was my first thought too, I use stevia in almost everything.

I suddenly had a flashback to selecting soundblaster as my audio device..

I thought ransom was supposed to work by making the person whom you have secret information pay you NOT to disclose the info. Especially if this "Jeffrey" knows the the Satoshi's t…

As a side note, Amazon has the Moto G for $159.99 w/o contract. That's pretty amazing to me and I'm honestly considering it even though I was holding out for an iPhone 6. http://ww…

What you're saying is in essence correct, but I don't think that their fire phone "3d gimic" (which added very much to unit cost) was necessary to achieve that outcome. I think it …

This is what the Amazon fire phone should have been. They would have sold millions. Kudos to Motorola for figuring it out.

I too have personally had the best luck with 1.5 lbs - 2 lbs per week. The proper caloric deficit to achieve those weight loss amounts per week, along with a 25% carbohydrate, 47% …

I don't see anything too surprising here. The big problem is the lack of disruption and innovation due to the government sponsored monopolies of internet/cable/network carriers ove…

I'll chime in here that I witnessed a long time friend who has a family with a history of mental illness go down this road. For him all it took was one LSD trip. My personal positi…

Startups selling a business product need to focus on a salesforce, direct marketing methods that are profitable, and getting in front of real paying customers. But startups produci…

I think like most things in good UI design, the rule is: "Make common user tasks as friction-less as possible." Now, when a common user behavior is to use the main menu to switch b…

What a letdown, tried to buy two and realized that it was Canadian only. I was trying to hack around and see if I could get the site to accept US address info by forcing it past th…

Yeah, you can't. I don't watch cable television, I just use the internet access. So unless I feel like donning a standard cable television package + HBO for $120+/mo I can't get ac…

This is a nice step in the right direction, but I'd be willing to pay $/mo extra to get the latest episodes of Game of Thrones.
