I haven't used it. What's the biggest feature of Asana, and how is it flawed?

Facebook keeps 100% of ad revenue; Tsu keeps 10% and pays 45% to it's users.

I got confused after trying it, because I kept thinking on the first screen that I was using it, while in fact I wasn't: I was supposed to be clicking on Next. I'm not sure what would be best, but I think I want to not go through the four screens that show me how to use it.

I wish the "Save" button was closer to "Add Item" so I don't have to move the mouse.

It may look better if some sentences didn't break to a second line.

I wish I could pay per month. For me it's the principle, I want to try before I commit.

Since you can't control how I read email, how does this work? Do I visit a web page to read the poem, or do I read it from my inbox?

Why did you build this?

What makes you believe the best reward for you right now is to be paid as well as this bank, instead of improving your learning rate?

Next summer is 7 months away. Why are you trying to secure a job so early in a field that moves as fast as tech? Uncertainty is a key part of any creation, and of life. The sooner you learn to live with uncertainty, the better off you will be in the long run, because you will attempt more frightening things.

The other reason you shouldn't take it is you can't jump in the same river twice. You already worked at this bank and you said you don't want to work for it again.

Learn to trust your gut.

If paying attention to people is more important to paying attention to ideas, it's strange that HN has a Show HN section but no AMA section.

Why should only sama get an ama?

What made you think that?

> Is it possible to avoid incorporating in US if accepted in YC?

No, it's not possible. From http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

"International founders, please note: if your company is a non-United States entity (corporation, limited liability company, etc.), your participation in YC is conditional on conversion of your foreign company into a United States corporation."

The blacklisting ugliness is one more sign email was badly designed. One more nail in the coffin.

Can I ask how much disk is used (or how you much disk you project will be used) on average per email group?

I loved the simplicity of the UI and the short explanations.

Attempting to get your first consulting gig will force you to master whatever you are missing specifically, instead of what you are looking for quasi-randomly.

Some of the most successful companies, like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, didn't charge on day 1.

Well, your friends could vet for you too.

(I'm sure it does a lot. But I don't want to think. Just tell me.)

Is this links to music?

Is this links to music events happening now?

Is this links to music news? (I think it is.)

Whatever it is, just tell me!

Can you also put a link somewhere on top with more details? Like where the data come from, etc.

Does anyone have a citation for this?

I think I meant photos are high quantity of data (1 photo=1000 words).

But high quantity doesn't equal high quality. High quality (high data density? high signal?) is found in a single, 10-word succinct sentence more often than it's found in a photo. In that sense the signal in a photo is more diluted by more noise.

This definition is in line with what I said about elite scientists. They prefer photos less than average scientists do, because the signal is low. It's interesting that this difference isn't as big though. Maybe it's harder in general to find the signal in high noise (the few good words in the 1000 words of a photo), irrespective of being elite or average.

Maybe that's where painting comes in. It isn't as fixed of a medium as a photo, which may make it easier for the elite to capture the few good words a photo may not. Although this is probably connected with time too. You can continue working on a painting; paintings are abandoned. Whereas a photo is a still in time, often completely uncapturable at other times.

I wish the study had also captured physical exercise. That'd be more data on kinetic thinking.

A thought on music, which is off the charts for elites. Music is patterns and paradoxically patterns compress very well. Literally, think .mpeg, deflate, arithmetic coding and dictionary compression that can yield 100x benefit. Music is probably an uncompressed spider web that reels us in to some small, powerful data function. Music is the macroexpanded source code and its data expression is the macro.

Here's a simplistic analysis viewing everything as data.

Average scientists like music and photos. Music is patterned data. Photos are dense data (1 picture=1000 words). They don't like writing as much, which is thinking. They don't like arts and writing as much, which is associative thinking.

Nobel prize winning scientists like music even more (patterned data), photos less (dense data dilute quality?). They like writing (thinking) more. They like arts and crafts (associative thinking) even more.

Or the opposite. Because the subconscious figured out there is something more important to do than what you were doing.

Ignoring the pull of the subconscious is equal to self sabotage.

Well, it depends on the baseline. The goal should be to get the balance right.

If you cross some threshold and become too open and too connected, the motto can easily flip to: a more secure (less open) and more independent (less connected) world.

It would be to Facebook's advantage to think of the other half of the problem because it could be worth another billion users.

Isn't it a bit extreme and possibly false to claim this? Was there a study that the euro could not work, followed by a conscious decision to pursue it nonetheless?
