This looks well timed with Mark Zuckerbergs new years resolution for 2016. To build an AI to assist around the house.

I've always imagined sites like these are run by a small circle of insiders, who essentially sponsor or promote specific products. I find it hard to believe the promotional buzz and hierarchy of an entry into a site like this completely natural.

What side effects specifically?

A nice refreshing dose of optimism. Thanks

It's a good question. I think Brin/Page can be seen as bringing more value to users, as opposed to people who see FB as a waste of time, and a bane on how people spend time on the internet.

It also probably has to do how media props Zuckerberg as always trying to change the world vs Brin/Page who seem to lead more quiet personal lives.

This is akin to abstinence-only sex education. It just doesn't work.

Interesting how the judge is outraged by the recommendation of 'Doctor X' to the person to discontinue their antidepressants before taking MDMA. Surely she must know the highly elevated risk of mixing anti-depressants and a drug like MDMA can cause Serotonin Syndrome and lead to death....

Interesting offer, initial landing page could use some work.

Not specifically a startup but there is also the recent example of television show 'The Mindy Show'. The shows producers/team created fake Tinder accounts for Mindy to create buzz and help the show go viral.

I'm slightly confused, he made his app free on June 15/16, and two days later he's got a tonne of reviews from users stating this application has helped them lose weight, and sounds like they've been using it a while. If the surge in downloads happened just two days ago, those reviews all sound very fishy.
