I pay $X for clothing (I haven't calculated it, but assume it's relatively average for a man who doesn't wear suites). I'll pay $2X if you can make me well dressed. Key point: I need to trust that your decisions are correct. What I want to pay for is not thinking about this and knowing that it's handled.
They do a brief interview with you over the phone, get your measurements, and send you a trunk of clothes every month. You only pay for what you keep. My friends have been very satisfied with that they've gotten.
I have a major frustration with payment providers — even contemporary players like Stripe — that can't offer a 3rd party payments system. That is, anything resembling a "marketplace" where you sell things on behalf of someone else, take a cut and pass on the rest to the content creator requires the integrator to come up with a half-assed payout pipeline. This often results in sending cheques and/or making PayPal paym…
Actually, you can do this with Stripe Connect [1]. The end-user signs up with a Stripe account, you get an OAuth key, and can make charges on their account. You can also collect fees on top of any payments [2].
Probably not worth solving, certainly not something I would solve myself but... I'm up late all the time working. True nightowl you could say. The earliest I'd go to bed is 6am. I sleep during the day and wake up around noon at the latest. I don't lack sleep, this schedule works for me. Point is, I'm up late and I'm sure there are others like me. I get hungry often. I don't cook. Few places if any are open. Those tha…
What does "I don't cook" mean? You don't like to cook? You don't know how to cook? You don't have the physical means of cooking? To me that sounds like the real problem to solve.
I can cook some basic dishes, but I don't want to. I don't want to learn how to cook more stuff. I don't want to exert time or effort towards doing so, and the cost savings, etc... don't really matter to me. I've been eating out almost exclusively for the most part in the last 15 years. Might not be the healthiest or most ideal, but not really the issue I'm addressing here. My original point is I want a list of places open late, what they serve, and a way to get food delivered. I'd pay a premium for that. I'm sure other nightowls working late in the bay (anywhere too) would too even if they can cook, etc...

Thank you so much! I don't know how I missed that.

Thanks for the link! I didn't specify that it would have to work outside of the US, which is my mistake.
That said, I had no idea this existed and it's definitely on my radar now. Thank you again.
Ever since google killed sharing within google reader itself (they meshed it into Google+) there is no way for 1st tier content junkies (i.e. people who have a ton of RSS feeds) to share good reads with each other. Twitter has horrible S/N, no one is on Google+ and if they were it would have same problem as twitter. Sharing within Google Reader was perfect b/c the majority of people who used Reader were other content junkies. HN does this but only for 50 stories a day and isn't curated from content junkies with my shared interests.
I'd love to have an easier way to get involved in some open source project for improving my skills, enhancing my CV, etc. My main challenge is being overwhelmed with information and I can't seem to find a good place to get started on any project.

I can't guarantee that it will work, but there are some really good sites and shows out there that exist to help guys like us learn to dress stylishly without breaking the bank or needing to learn a whole domain of stuff that we aren't terribly interested in.

I am a woman. I want this too. I have yet to see any sort of clothing service for women, but I would definitely prefer to never think about clothes ever again, but still be well dressed.

One major factor in appearing well dressed is having clothes that fit properly. Even expensive clothes look bad when they're not the right size and cut. It may be cool if a startup could curate clothes that match both style and body type.
This could exist by the way, I don't know of any off the top of my head though. Bonobos.com is the only thing that comes to mind. They're not specifically doing the above, but I think they offer a variety of fits/sizes. I've had a good experience with them in the past.
