Sounds like Clippy or BonziBuddy. Both received overwhelmingly negative reception.

Assuming the caffeine was delivered in liquid form (in coffee, energy drinks, sodas, etc). It would be fairly easy to exceed lethal dosage via caffeine in tablets, powder, or capsule form.

1. Even if your testimonials are not fake they do not come across as genuine but instead like the text from a 419 scam.

Re:How my fellow developer stole my Steam game from me on Thursday April 27, 2017 @02:43PM (#14213772)
Hindsight is 20/20, etc but a few things don't add up:

1. You agreed to do some work for him, didn't get paid for anything yet still continue to work with him (and considered him a friend)?

2. Article says you gave the distributor 10% of sales but contract only says 5?

3. Going along with a 50/50 split off Steam sales with no written contract and you are doing a majority of the work?

4. Continuing to partner with him after he steals your assets to release in his name?

Re:Ask HN: How do you gain weight? on Monday April 24, 2017 @10:44AM (#14184678)
There are mass/weight gainer supplements that you could try (maybe start with 2-3 servings/week) but I wouldn't use it without some sort of anaerobic training program to build muscle.

Un-athletic person jumping into a high rep workout done for time? The author is lucky they didn't suffer kidney failure or die.

From an article [1] on rhabdomyolysis:

What movements cause rhabdo?

> Well, there’s no magic movement that always causes rhabdo. But some movements are higher risk than others when performed by new athletes or when performed to excess repetition. These are usually movements with a demanding eccentric motion. Stay with me. This really isn’t too complicated. Most movements have two parts: an eccentric part and a concentric part. Eccentric means that muscles are stretched under load. As you lower into the bottom of a squat, you are performing the eccentric portion of the squat. Your hamstrings are lengthening under load. Concentric means that muscles contract under load. As you drive out of the bottom of the squat you are performing the concentric portion. After being stretched, your hamstrings are now contracting and driving the load upwards. Eccentric motion is very demanding on muscles. Stretching muscles under a load with lots of repetition can cause the muscle breakdown that triggers rhabdo. Here are a few examples of movements with a strong eccentric portion: jumping pullups, GHD situps, walking lunges. Now these are all excellent movements that have their uses in building a strong and healthy body. Just don’t jump into doing hundreds of them, unless you’re a strong and experienced athlete that has worked up to that level of ability. [emphasis added]

YC funds companies that focus in other (non-US) countries. There are a few that demo'd a few days ago that focused in Africa for example.
What the OP suggested might not be the best approach (that'd be for the pro to decide when shooting) in terms of display photos, but making the claim that '"Large sensor, low f number, go wide angle" means absolutely nothing [to a photographer]' is patently false.
