You nailed it. I always wondered how come somebody like Dell never wised up to the trackpoint and middle button. I'm wondering whether they have some sort of exclusive patent on design.

I agree, I've been thinking about it more and more about two hands. How would I go about following through though? I'm new to SF and having a hard time finding a really bright tehcnical co-founder for a start-up site.

Avoid digital rectangles. Begin to notice your breathing. Begin to pay attention to how your body feels, what goes around you (peripheral) and in front of you (3 point of awareness), explore hypnosis tapes and soothing music, reduce stimulus overload, return to nature.

Contact me privately. I'll show you a way that worked for many people. No obligation. This isn't a joke. (PUA stuff won't help you. Task 1 is internalize what makes a woman unworthy, and how to pick the worthy ones).

1. Put them on a site, 2. Sort by metadata 3. Let users vote on what they like (think "hot or not") 4. When user hits a threshold of X votes, give them a free photo. 5. Sell/rent preference data > pros who use photos: designers, architects etc >to camera companies to use in R&D and improving digital cameras >to education outfits that train photographers > pros who use color: fashion designers, paint manufacturers

I am. Here's a hackernewers profile: http://www.hackernewsers.com/users/emrahyalaz.html

I always wondered why are they so small? why aren't they wider, the width of almost the entire laptop? That would be so much easier to calibrate to touch.

I was working 3 jobs and seeking a startup to join (didn't have a green card back then, so start my own wasn't an option). I was in grad school and had a 4.0 GPA and needed to keep it there in case I couldn't get something interesting, my b-plan was PhD (I didn't want to return to my home country tail between my legs). One job was waiting tables from 3pm-1AM 4 nights a week. I was married.

One night I got into an argument with a fellow waiter who badmouthed me for coming along and picking up american jobs (I had just started making a lot of tips b/c I served humans better). Manager took his side so I got pissed and quit. I went home and my now ex-wife told me she wanted a divorce and was planning to move in with one of her friends from school (she was a student too). I got depressed and had an accident with my Pontiac POS. It was a freezing cold Chicago winter with temps 20 below. I got even more depressed, sat home on a couch and drank bourbon for a week.

That's my absolute lowest point. Everything got better after that. Much, much, much better:)

Yakto, sounds like only 1 and 4 set you apart from other incubators for hackers. And I feel 1 could be addressed by using an alias until you're ready to jump ship. So, not enough differentiation for "w/ day job" niche. AND I feel the seed idea has something to it. There is tension and pain there. Perhaps develop points 7-n?

Thank you! Thank you! You are an honorable person of good taste:)

I shall NOT abuse it. I respect this place too much, and PG is a hero of mine. I've been reading every word he wrote since the Dilbert Cube days. every. single. word:)

Hey Timothy, Emrah here. How did you set up this poll? I'd like to do one. (I answered both and found useful) Thank you:)

Oh, please:) Tell me overwhelming majority never operated an internal combustion engine under influence. I didn't say I don't take other people's lives seriously. I said I got caught. Now, holding a belief that this somehow causes a reduction in my performance to create something that humans like, is indeed a limiting belief. Forget about causality, one would be hard pressed to display co-existence in that domain. I would expect the co-existence to point to the inverse: increased intoxicating chemical consumption co-exists with increased creativity (probably, mainly because pure creativity is not exactly human).

hacker dojo, check! When is the best time to show up as a stranger? Thank you Mark Christian, you are an honorable person of good taste:)

That sounds like a useful distinction. What is the defining attribute of the introvert to you? and what is an example of flexible when introverted in that context?

Hmmm, interesting. You clearly explored deeply into this. To clarify, nothing wrong with any of this, they are simple different states of being. I feel a slight advantage in being able to switch, be able to go in and out of both states. Perhaps I'm none anymore. I'm not sure if all extroverts judge people based on what they see on the surface. I feel the defining attribute of extrovert is much smaller fear (or even ignorance) of uncertainty. I feel introverts hate being wrong so much more it becomes painful, so they display a stronger fear (and recognition) of uncertainty in all domains in life.

I just got a DUI. I don't need a VC, but if a VC were to reject me b/c of this I'd find another one. I don't think you can win if the other party has such a limiting belief.

Oh, and no luck at meetups. Nobody so far seemed smart or passionate enough to build something great. Perhaps I'm missing the good ones.

That may be true:) Although I test this with new people I meet, and they label me as an extrovert:) Especially, people who know myers-briggs label me an extrovert now. I liked certain aspects of being shy. There is a very subtle satisfaction from being isolated deep into one's mind. A very, uhm, masturbatory satisfaction. kinda like coding;)
