Problem:

Current renewable energy sources will not be enough to solve our high energy demands and due to the constraints being put on oil and gas there is an impending energy crisis (data in the URL below)

Hypothesis:

Advances in geothermal, especially with governmental backing, can help alleviate the high energy demands in a sustainable way. The deeper we go the more energy solutions we create.

Geothermal advances such as lateral drilling and fracturing were created in 1900s but have not been economically viable till recently. As the energy crisis gets worse geothermal technology will become more economically reasonable.

Interesting take on goethermal as possible solution but I'm curious how feasible from engineering standpoint and what are the risks associated?

I think most investors see it more as a store of value, compared to fiat, and more scarcity, transportability and accountability than gold/hard assets.

Shit wrong youtube vid. Here is the correct live cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5bTbVbe4e4

Another case of money influencing research. Glad to see OTL doing a public service and showing the NFL's association with the studies they hide behind

Kevin Kelly, when the creative director at Wired, said something similar about choosing which stories to write about. He would never write a story himself until a topic had been passed up by too many writers that it began to frustrate him.

This might not help post-diagnosis but maybe will help a lot of people in the future. As they say the best type of care is preventative care.

Here's a better article from the MIT review http://www.technologyreview.com/news/545326/illuminas-bid-to...

Dealing with the diagnosis and treatments/surgery is indeed tough physically and psychologically.

Physically it's important to understand how to deal with things day to day. Article is on nutrition post-diagnosis from John Hopkins. http://pathology.jhu.edu/pancreas/TreatmentNutrition.php?are...

Psychologically the whole team (family/friends/practitioners) need to be on the same page and transparent. http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2013/03/fine-balance-hope-cope-c...

Patrick Swayze had this condition and despite his prognosis filmed a movie and did his own stunts.

There's a saying that I heard recently that seems applicable here:

Happiness is an emotion; joy is an attitude.

not only is it important to have "emotional intelligence" with others but will save you a lot of headaches with family relations

no michael thanks for the info! any thoughts are appreciated, you never know where inspiration will come from ;)

yeah I see what you mean, we built an oauth signup option in v1.0 that we might bring back that allows you to just automatically "switch" the links you post.

We also have the chrome extension on deck ;)

So no major issues with the public facing UI/UX in your opinion? example: http://lnkplg.co/RGPp

always be a "lazy" programmer. no sense in extra work if there is a simple and functional solution.

if you have 4mins sometime would love to get some feedback on my project (just the public facing demo) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10062700

yeah i think your definitely on track with this, no sense in spending extra dev time if the different UI's are not asked for.

I'll keep playing with it this weekend. I'll ping you if I think of anything else :)

If you have 4mins mind giving me some quick UI/UX feedback on my project? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10062700

maybe just set up a landing page with all the info and then have a modal pop up with the login that looks like the current log in.

just a thought

When this is sent to my friends is it a link to the zejoop site to then update what they plan on doing?

I like your product, I think kevin would too since he mentioned a "product feature update" page was loved by wufoo customers.

It seems pretty straight forward both from an installation standpoint and for my users. My question is what is down the road?

Are you thinking maybe about maybe different UI options to display the "feature updates"?

I commented on a thread today asking if google had stated at all about their play in the live streaming (makes sense for them to)

I like the UI/UX you proposed. Material design would obviously be their play.

I think one of the biggest value props would be that since they have gmail, chrome and andriod you could be subtly notified of live streams no matter what you are doing.

agreed asking "how is this different than x,y,z" is such a great way to allow the creator to open up and dive into the nitty gritty and fun details

great question, there was some debate on whether or not they were making significant revenue.

we are trying to monetize this by not doing a SaaS model but instead an agency model where we would handle most all the work to then be able to charge a premium to these influencers.

yes we use the interstitial experience like bre.ad however if im not mistaken this was used from mainly for publishers like say Techcrunch sharing their own content?

We are trying to incentivize sharing other peoples content as it pertains to your niche.

example: Hillary clinton (user) -> shares news article from Politico about her policies -> before getting to article you see a donation page.

(would look like this http://lnkplg.co/RGPp)

oh yeah I definitely see what you mean. Well ill keep playing around the app and maybe something will come to me :)

makes sense. well ill keep playing with it, hopefully with more people to learn more about it.

if you have 6mins sometime let me know what you think about my project :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10062700
