Since DHH started writing, there have been 800 generations of starry-eyed startup people with unexamined motivations. He can do his thing and there's more than enough regard for the value of it.
Any civilization advanced enough to build a Dyson Sphere would by definition be one capable of extreme, long term focus. Since ennui is the enemy of long term focus, they'd probably have conquered it.
If it turns out our entire universe is a simulation anyway, then what's the difference? The cruise ships walls are a simulation of a simulation, and our memories of them after returning home are a simulation of a simulation of a simulation. Nihil Sanctisne?
I bought a 4-letter domain (edofo.com) on Namecheap for the standard .com price but now don't know what to do with it. It just sounded like a good company/product name.
Hangul is great, but don't try to use it for English. Try writing "Larry really loves the zoo very much". You get "Raeri ri-a-ri reo-beu-seu da joo bae-ri meo-chi".
In other words, you lose the L/R and V/B differences, and words like "much" can't end on consonants, so you get "Muchi".
Hangul has no sounds corresponding to "V, F, R-L, Th, and 'woo'".
"Forensic reconstruction after a famous restaurant fire in the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Kentucky confirmed that many of the victims sought to pay before leaving, and so died in a queue."
I can't guess how many web apps have lost me because, instead of signing up right then and there, they waited a few weeks to put a beta link in my mailbox. By then, I'd moved on.
You don't sell anything by telling your customers to come back at an indeterminate time later. I'm here now, so let me give you my attention (and possibly money).
This is fantastic! I teach classes and need a quick way to jot something onto the screen. The one piece that's really missing for me, or 2 pieces really, is the ability to make big headers and bulleted lists. If you could process Markdown in real-time (on Enter), that would be super!
I live in South Korea and can't get to San Francisco for a 12-week stretch. But you have a tremendous idea here and I'd love to be a student.
If you could compress the in-class time to 4 weeks and let me do the rest remotely, and offer a price-point at roughly one-month of my salary or less, I'd be all over this.
