I had my DEXA test a couple months ago and found out I have 3.5x the bone density of others my age due to my heavy weightlifting. It's probably why I've had 3 motorcycle crashes and never broke a single bone. Furthermore, the technician told me that I will probably never have problems with osteoporosis as a result!

TL;DR - keep your squats low and your standards high

Can confirm that 1) peeps @ Zynga are on lockdown (I'm here) and 2) Peeps @ AirBnB are on lockdown as well (friends works there)

lmao awesome...just awesome

I find it interesting that the recent conversations surrounding the legalization of cannabis in WA and CO have sparked discussions of legalization of synthesized drugs like amphetamines and cocaine. Cannabis is one of the few drugs sourced from nature without any purification or isolating processes. Not only is it naturally occurring, but it also is the safest among today's federally illegal "drugs".

That being said, I have to agree that the best way to get rid of illegal activity is to tax and regulate a product so as to provide a trustworthy, straightforward source. But there's a question as to whether it's advisable to allow citizens to consume drugs that have normally been known to drastically reduce peoples' health and well-being. These drugs actively cause addiction while suppressing other bodily functions, but so do cigarettes. Did you know that nicotine is as addictive as heroine, cocaine, and other alkaloids[1]? The question as to where to draw the line is very sensitive and I often wonder why did Prohibition stop at alcohol? Why didn't it naturally extend itself towards cannabis and then hard drugs? Does anybody know the history/politics behind this?

You're right in the fact that you'll piss off some people when you introduce a pricing plan later. This can be a very slippery slope and is the main reason why most b2c services don't charge for their software. I'm sure the team at Glance will be A/B testing for consumers vs enterprise, and the consumer registration won't have the 30-day trial text.

I think it's up for debate as to whether you should test pricing in the MVP stage. In this case, I think it's in the best interest to leave pricing out of the question and first inquire as to whether people find it useful.

Although I see how piracy may be a huge hindrance to Android apps not "selling" well, it can be battled through a smarter backend. Most devs have yet to place the game behind a paywall to protect it despite APKs being passed around. That's just one primitive way to help with piracy.

The misaligned incentives are the hardest problems to solve in this case. An example use case could be a weekly email sent to you with 5 anonymous resumes/bios, of which you pick the best two. You would probably be able to passively collect income as the service could pay ~$100 for each "review" and then pay a bonus if one of your reviewed bios gets hired. Still, there's the incentive to sign off on two random resumes and collect $100. At that point, the question is whether it is worth your time as an industry professional to spend a bit of time and earn side cash. This is completely meant to disrupt recruiting agencies by the way, not to source co-founder level team members.

definitely should put up a screenshot or example of a profile on the homepage. please don't expect me to commit and login with my fb info unless i know exactly what i'm getting
