You can't create the amount of money you are talking about without severe economic consequences. That should be obvious.

He is implying that a larger amount of Neanderthal DNA would lead to greater intelligence.

Where does all this "equalizing" money come from? Does it just pop into existence because you want it to?

Just curious, what tech stack do you use?

I really enjoyed your framing of some common issues. Most people don't think there are actually two sides to any political argument and spend the majority of their time laughing at strawmen rather than learning about someone else's perspective.

Also I think lowered emotional connection to the issues can actually be a huge benefit to understanding them rather than just "feeling" what side to pick.

Just curious: Did you scrape the initial dataset or did it come from personal research when looking for an investment?

He has been consistently posting in-depth articles about his code base and business for years. People like him and his wacky business the same way we like Levels.

Random googling turns up 87 colleges that have residency requirements[1]. So you're right that it isn't "most" but it is also not super rare. I'm just saying its a sneaky way for colleges to bump up costs. Most college students won't go through the work to get a waiver and will just go with the flow. Its like the difference between opt-in and opt-out.

And then with 10-15k for overpriced student housing since most colleges make mandatory for Freshmen and sometimes even Sophomores. Then you might have to pay 1k a year to pay for a parking spot. 2-5k for cafeteria access. Add it all up and you've got 80k-100k(at 4%-9% interest) for four years at a state school. Its not impossible to get out from under but it represents a large delay, especially for degrees with low ROI

Fantasy Bachelor season? That actually sounds hilariously awesome!

Just a heads up -- your site emailthis.me is down.

What is parallel-work? Would that be hanging out with friends while you all work remote jobs? That sounds like a very interesting setup.

Then we'll just move to the artificially cheap consumer good from Africa (subsidized by Chinese investment). And the cycle will go round and round!

I think this offers the best explanation for such an unsustainable pricing option. Thanks for the info

$30-$40 makes much more sense. I was just baffled by the $10 per month price point advertised in the article.

I hadn't thought about the lowered prices from non-peak times. Thats a good point. It just seems like the people who would want to pay for a subscription to the movies are inherently people who go multiple times a month. Even a $6 matinee would cost more than their subscription. So how many "non-users" of the service do you need to pay for the "super-users"? I'd say at least 4-5x

Thats how the theaters make money but I'm talking about how MoviePass is making their money since they are paying the cost of the ticket.

This model introduces disincentives to building value since they don't actually want their subscribers USING the service. They just want them paying for it and forgetting about it like a gym membership. Also at $10 a month wouldn't a subscriber have to average <0.7 movies a month to break even? Monetizing with targeted ads doesn't seem like they'll be able to make their money back. Is there something I'm missing here?

I think this is an amazing idea! I played with Basic and Visual Basic when I was younger and it taught me all about logic loops, basic data structures, etc. Putting that type of playground on the web sounds interesting. Have you started yet?

We thought about LeapMotion but went with a CV implementation instead. Very cool project!

My friends and I worked on this problem for a hackathon and even managed to get 3 letters that could be recognized! The judges were unimpressed and the win went to a group that copied a project off of instructables.com :)

Where did you live in Asia?

what is the one for low cost Amazon items? I've been thinking about starting a daily store of weird items but this seems like a good idea also.

Like sub $20 gift ideas/wacky items

Good point. I guess i just anthropomorphized the pile of hotdogs the wrong(mirrored) way compared to the researchers.

I think its meant to be wordplay: salt + lime + tequila

Machiavelli also warns not to become hated which seems to be a growing sentiment from the industry towards Uber.

Its doing a frontflip not a backflip but I guess thats secondary to how efficient this kind of human-AI collaboration might turn out to be. Similar in vein to the human-AI "centaur" chess teams.

Actually I'm fairly sure (at least in newer SC like HoTS and LoTV) you can select a hotkey group of units with the mouse since they are represented visually in an icon on the screen that can be clicked.

I think the main point was to say the aspects of the game that are faster with the keyboard is around 95+ percent and that top players reduce their use of the mouse to the bare minimum because of its inefficiency.

I tried doing something similar a year ago but had a lot of trouble finding the right type of customer who needed an MVP. Being able to start fresh and move quickly on a new idea sounds like the perfect kind of work :) Just curious how many projects you've done so far with this model?

PS. love the simplicity of your site. it shows me you know the true meaning of MVP!

Could you link to the study in question? Right off the top of my head it could be that children who are left to sit in front of the TV all day and night do not have actively engaged parents(reading to them, taking interest in their schoolwork, providing stimulating activities etc) which could easily explain their lagging behind the average.
