Sort of like Netflix getting into original content a la Kevin Spacey and House of Cards. Brilliant.

Wow, amazing photos. I'm struck by how pervasive sitting is. Everyone assumes people should sit, but the data are clear that we should be standing.

I am fascinated by this idea of designing a space with the goal of helping employees live longer / happier lives. I would love this for our new space. Is this crazy?

Met and worked with him (briefly) in the 90's. Nice guy. No focus. Lost a lot of other people's money. Probably should have been a professor instead of a businessman.

My father-in-law is working on this project. I've been having conversations about this for a long time...great to see it in the press...

I love it! Summary: Legos seem expensive now because the first time you got them they were free! ;p

Funny, i had this same idea 4 years ago. Bought iCapsule.com. The idea of "generational" digital asset preservation is a big problem to solve. Museums across the world are struggling with this. My guess, is this startup hasn't figured out the problem of how to preserve assets for 25-50 years. That is a real problem. Solve that and I'll be a customer!

Lame. GitHub should have written that they were using Andreessen Horowitz for their money. Without the $100MM would they have written that post, say, if Andreessen was joining their board? Fact is, they're fawning.

Weird how they assume the pilot is left handed...

Maybe the take-away is that sites should do a browser check and then serve simpler English to IE users ;-)

Every piece of meat should have a picture (video?) of it being slaughtered...

Does anyone have data on whether the "poor" or the "rich" are better entrepreneurs?

Has anyone seen comparable numbers for Facebook Places? I used to be a Foursquare junkie, but when FB Places came out I pretty much stopped using the app...

Thx, I recreated this poll here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2618678

Speaking of h/w, I think Apple could make a killer flat screen TV. Heck, some of their current monitors are almost there already. Now, integrate that with your iPad, iPhone, Macbook and Apple TV? Add great content and a few million apps designed to make the who experience amazing. I'm in!
fnazeeri | 15 years ago | on: $6k per person to cryopreserve everyone?
Seems to me that spending that much money preserving "hardware" (bodies) another (better) option would be to preserve "software" (e.g. DNA sequence, MRI, cat scan, EKG, etc.).
fnazeeri | 15 years ago | on: Recycling Capital: The Key To The Startup Economy
Fred Wilson is one of a very small group of investors that has actually achieved any exits to recycle. The problem isn't that investors aren't recycling their returns, it's that they aren't making any returns.
So the next thought is that investors are somehow to blame, but no. It's entrepreneurs who aren't creating businesses that generate good investments. The core problem here is that we need to create more good businesses.

For b2b you can't beat Salesforce.com. High-rise is a nice contact manager but a terrible CRM.
