Besides the US no other country is so picky about "sexist" comments. This is a completely normal attitude in other cultures and not sexist at all (for them, might still be sexist f…

Thank you. Everyone who seeks funding should probably understand this. We are fine in terms of money, I just had this (misguided) idea that getting funding now helps me to be even …

That's where our unfair advantage comes in. We know already some companies who work on replicating what we do and they have good chances to make this happen, but... - Our product i…

Thanks, that was interesting.

For us its life work balance. I just started a small game studio because that's what I really like to do. It's already a retirement project, sort of, because I only have to make th…

Yes you are absolutely right. We just put things into place step by step to make it more sellable. We still have team members that can't be replaced but work on changing this.

Thanks a lot! I also spoke with a friend who already received funding and we will simply keep growing our own way but also work with some lawyers who go out and find a buyer for th…

We have an unfair advantage in a fast growing market and could now get outside capital for this. As an alternative we could just keep rolling with our little team, scale like we al…

Super interesting. Any chance you share some of the source code?

Every decision requires willpower. Doing things without thinking (making habits out of them) saves your willpower for other valuable things you have to do.

When it comes to positive psychology married people with kids feel less satisfied with life, but other factors that also contribute to happiness such as meaning and purpose are inc…

It's not the time that's missing for most people it's the serious motivation. Having more people who depend on you is a huge external motivation factor. I love lesswrong but don't …

Everyone should find their own way. I agree. But being able to enjoy quiet time is something you can learn. A common problem for people who can not be without stimuli is that they …

I know a lot of creative professionals who would abandon OSX and WIN in a heartbeat if Adobe would release their software for Linux.

I just got a new ultrabook with W8 for my wife. First thing I had to do was download some software that W8 boots into desktop mode. Then I got another application that brings the s…

It works great with Google Now. I use it often like a launcher and just type a few letters and then click on the app I want to run.

If you are a bit smart with what you do, you can create your own passive recurring income stream that gives you some security and then focus on your startup. I do what my wife and …

I can confirm that. Using cell phones in public transportation was forbidden for a few years but is allowed now. People are usually pretty quiet in German trains. Many trains also …

The first weeks when I was living in Bangkok the busy, nosiy, smelly environment really drained my energy. Using headphones and music to escape the noise pollution of downtown Bang…

Many people are addicted to stimuli in whatever form because they do not want to be left alone with their thoughts. Some just turn on the TV whenever they are alone, some have to s…

When people hear about the struggle to get one of these phones they get curious. I clicked like crazy to and luckily bought two phones... I have to say I look now a bit more forwar…

We had the same problems. Lots of pissed off people in the forums. I wanted a 16gb but didn't get it and have a 8gb now. Oh well... I'm surprised Google didn't manage this better.
