<p>When I read the title the first thing that came to my mind were Magna Tiles. Glad they made it on the list.<p>It's the only toy in the house that lasted the test of time from she 4-8 (and counting). Also I love tidying up Magna tiles, even that is fun!<p>My oldest kid got a small sample of Clixco and was surprisingly entertained even with a limited set of possibilities they offered. They're great fidget toys as well.</p>

<p>Nice idea but I think the predictions are way off. I ran a 3:17 in spring and targeting a 3:10 marathon in a couple of weeks.<p>As unlikely as it sounds Strava predicts 3:13 (think they base it on my last marathon), Garmin is similar. Runalyze is about as off as you are.<p>Maybe you're putting too much emphasis on weekly volume. M35 and I can run this with 50k weekly and 75k peak volume. Relatively confident I'd be able to sub 3 with weekly volume of 80k/100k peak.</p>

<p>Reading Faust in school left a lasting impact on me and an appreciation for the language as a tool of art.<p>I believe many are not even aware of the amount of proverbs coming from that classic:<p>Des Pudels Kern  - the poodles core/crux of the matter<p>Gretchenfrage - the essential question<p>... And many more that I won't bother trying to translate.</p>

<p>I'm definitely the target audience for this: I hate Goodreads and I still use it on a weekly basis.<p>A couple questions:<p>- where do you get your book data from? To my knowledge Amazon has a de facto monopoly on this and there's nothing more frustrating than missing latest or niche books, its covers, etc. or having wrong data/duplicates.<p>- do you plan on offering a migration path? I've got years worth of data on Goodreads.</p>

<p>I love this and want to order a couple pairs!<p>1. Are the branded/not branded models the same cut? Since the angle on the pictures are different it's hard to judge.<p>2. Why do you not have more pictures of the shoes? Since those are probably impossible to try/return I want to try and avoid a wasted purchase.<p>3. What import taxes can one expect ordering to the EU?</p>

<p>> But just like there are the EM and Higgs fields there could be countless other fields that don't affect our day to day reality in any way, but in that sense they might as well not exist.<p>Then you also have to accept that you're not talking about objective reality in any way but isolated to human experience and limited by our cognitive and experimental abilities.</p>

<p>Yes, mission statements are usually just bullshit.<p>But if you want to fulfil your mission you still need to make money, otherwise you have a dead company.<p>Making money can never be a goal in itself. At the very least the money  serves the status of founders and shareholders or enables one to pursue economically unviable hobbies.</p>

<p>Your ecosystem has gone so complex that you can't test it anymore. So instead of handling errors properly you suggest to implement a convoluted user flow that offers always failing actions (install a printer when there's none available).<p>If that's really the suggestion of product and engineering leadership at MSFT no wonder all their products...err...work as designed.</p>

<p>I just can't get my head around this argument of 'scales to zero'.<p>If you have one or more professional developers working on a project how can you be bothered about an extra $20-$200/month when you know you'll also be spending a couple of engineering hours (worth more than $200) on migrating later?</p>
