I recently got an outdoor sauna at home, and that's definitely a key benefit ...sitting in silence without any devices, no smart phones, watches or music for at least 15-20 minutes.


Cancelled this month.

I started getting too many responses which were clearly incorrect, I point out the correction to which the response was, "You are indeed correct [rephrases the answer correctly]"

Okay, great, but what about all the responses where I don't actually know the topic enough to know it's incorrect?


How about calling it 'Vine'?


This comment is not related to tactical parenting, you can survive without any advice on that (humans have been doing it for centuries).

If I was going to suggest one thing to read as a soon-to-be-Dad, I'd recommend this reasonably short article by PG: http://www.paulgraham.com/vb.html

It's cliche, and you probably won't really take it in until you realise it too late, but it GOES SO FAST!


Seems reasonably similar range, but pricing is definitely higher than BD.


Looks really good!

What’s been the most interesting use case you’ve seen so far?


Someone was actually building a decentralized commodities exchange, and used a couple of Cookbook contracts to build out their infrastructure


Sounds great!

I feel like Ruby on Rails out of the box support would really help bring an influx of Heroku orphans.


From everything I've seen and heard, a restaurant or bar IS NOT likely going to be a boring, cashflow positive business.

Maybe a laundromat, self storage facility or mini putt course (in a tourist town)?


> So it was true but only kindof.

I'm almost certain that's the case when most of those kinds of logos are shown.

Most likely that's 80-90% of what happens when companies show logos on their website. Does Netflix really pay for that many SaaS products? Or is it really that one or two Netflix employees use it...


Yep, high school socialisation is so far removed from real life socialisation it’s funny. When I look back at my public school years I laugh to think we were supposedly learning vital social skills!

What other part of life do you interact with only people who were born in the same year as you were (and, in the case of some schools, only your sex)?

Homeschooled children (in my experience) learn to make friends with kids a lot older and younger than they are. They also learn to look after and teach younger ones, and learn from older ones.

I went to public school myself, my wife was homeschooled (for all but two high school years), and we homeschool our five kids. There’s pretty much no reason I’d consider sending them to school, unless they want to in their high school years (so far our oldest doesn’t).


I had friends from other grades when I was in middle school - was part of sports teams and I trained for an entire summer with kids who were 2 years older than me. Initially they bossed me, but over time they really took me under their wing.

In the neighborhood I lived - had some friends who were 3-4 years older. Maybe my experience is unusual, but those were great times!
