Very cool. I've found many times that I'll start a project as a mezzanine project simply for the easy deployment, mixins, forms and other stuff that doesn't directly depend on the core Page infrastructure.

Very nice set of tools to kick start a project. This will eventually be another nice tool the plug into apps that require forum functionality.

Not exactly what you're asking for but there's a bunch of nice summaries with links to studies here: http://www.leangains.com/2011/06/is-late-night-eating-better...

I've been doing LG for over a year now. I swear by it!

The obvious counter to that argument is that people didn't die of obesity, we didn't have antibiotics yet. :)

I was like that when I started IF. I'm much better now. The biggest thing was reminding myself that I was crabby because of the food and I'd be able to eat soon enough.. that normally put me on the right track.

It's hardly an issue now, which I love.

I tend to be a lot more productive when fasting.

I also tend to be more impulsive, so staying focused on the thing I should be doing, as opposed to what I want to do, is definitely an issue.

That being said, the time I save by not eating breakfast is also nice :)

How'd you delete your data?

I'm trying to remove my account too..

So what does this mean for companies that conduct legitimate business over TPB. Does this allow for some kind of action against MS?
Hey YCombers.. regarding RFS #9 it explicitly mentions SOPA and related topics but only in the context of Hollywood and not music. Do you think a music play that that addresses copyright issues would be of any interest?

We're applying anyway so it doesn't matter, I'm just wondering if we can say we are responding to RFS #9 :)

Re:Ask YC: What to ask to a VC when you're a bootstrapper ? on Thursday October 18, 2007 @08:45AM (#69642)
Pitch your idea, the more you practice pitching, the better.

My current investors get me out in front of everyone they can, I suspect it's because they think I need practice.

Get their contact, pitch to them, and see what they think. These early discussions are a good sounding board, and will also get someone else thinking about your idea, not matter how briefly.

Blatant self promotion here. I got ripped a new one when someone else posted this to reddit, so gimme what you got :)

The Sorry State of Technology Education (how to get more startups)

http://dpn.name/index.php/2007/10/18/the-sorry-state-of-technology-education/

There were lots of people with good ideas at the Symposium, and many of them have some good business background to help them get to market, but one huge problem was the lack of technical skills available to take these things to market. There literally aren't enough entrepreneurial programmers being put in contact with these young innovators!
