Given that you need a google account to access YouTube in the first place, shouldn't google already have all the data they need here? They don't seem to gain much with this...

I'm curious how this will work with google play music. if we can now upload songs through drive instead of that terrible slow desktop uploader, spotify may have just lost a custome…

I was in a similar place two years ago. Everyone around me totally out classed and outsmarted me. I made friends with a guy who was freelancing on the side for a local company. I o…

I googled the good doctor, and wow, you weren't kidding. http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/h1b.html He really does see the H1-B as some sort of Ragnarok for the American programmer.

I thought this was going to be about an apple printer...

The comments on that article really make me appreciate hacker news. I had forgotten how bad internet comments could be.

I had to use "PerfectScript" for something once. It was an awful awful experience.

This got me thinking... Are there any startups that are doing something similar with physical mail? I can picture a large centralized mail room with a bunch of industrial sized sca…

Whats the name of the book? I'd like to read it.

I'm really not sure how well this kind of thing can scale. Without some formal accreditation process for instructors I can't see this bringing in corporate workshops and seminars w…

You can't outsource customer facing jobs. Someone has to work the cash registers. You can't outsource construction jobs. Someone has to update our nation's crumbling infrastructure…

I think people really over estimate the anti-intellectualism side of things. When you come from hard labor you don't have much time to really think about your options. You're 18, y…

Teachers also have one of the more powerful unions in the United States, at least in non industrial states. A lot of ire is targeted not so much at the teachers as at their union a…

I think Indochino would benefit from pushing the customization angle though. As it stands now they are simply offering a product not unlike Banana Republic with a bit more customiz…

You really would benefit from sorting the items you have for sale. At the least Man and Woman.

Gilt is VC funded I believe

I actually think Indochino is an example of someone focusing too much on the "physical fucking product" and missing some chances to do some real innovative stuff. They could potent…

I don't think the people going in to fashion start ups are going in to them to make large profits. It seems to me they are motivated by wanting creative control over some product o…

Ideally I think in house would be the approach I'd take. The device in question isn't particularly complicated and the components don't exactly have to be top of the line. I have n…

Small sensor that can record some measurements than plug into a computer USB port to upload those measurements. Doesn't really need to be super precise or anything, price is the ma…

From playing around a bit, it seems like Kayak still has Google Flights beat on pricing by as much as 150 dollars. A quick comparison of a bunch of flights and I found that Kayak a…
