I like it a lot. I had to adjust the night setting, since all the way to "Halogen" was making everything look orange. I now have it a few steps up and it looks great. Installed it on my desktop and laptop.
Why has it taken so long for this to come to public attention? I hadn't heard anything about it until about 2 months ago when my friend bought a BPA free Nalgene, and then recently with that CBC documentary Alex3917 posted (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=375127).
On another note, I like that I'm able to find out about this stuff from HN. I consider it a triumph of social media.
Ditto. I just finished moving everything off of godaddy recently. Another thing I like about namecheap is that they provide you with nameservers, which was a big plus for me since I didn't want to host my own on the same box I put everything else on. Pretty sure godaddy didn't, but I could be wrong.
From what I could tell in the video, bisphenol a's a petroleum derivative that is used to harden polycarbonates. The other one, pthalates (also a petroleum derivative) is used to soften PVC. So technically, not made out of plastic, but used to make plastic.
Edit: Realized I misread your comment. Yes, the problem is with some plastic products, which use these chemicals (but not all, since the video mentioned that one hospital using safe plastic products).
I agree. This part wouldn't be vital for a pitch (unless showing the site is a part of it), but for anyone going to the site, it would be. If I can't figure out what the site's about, I'm just going to close the tab. It's like what Gladwell says in The Tipping Point about Sesame Street, people lose when it's confusing.
This is as much for my knowledge as the original poster, but what discount rate would you use? He doesn't exactly have a beta to do Weighted Average Cost of Capital with, or am I totally missing something?
I've always estimated the discount rate based on the expectations for growth from the buyer. At the end of the day, the valuation on a site or business is simply whatever you can get for it. A site might be worth more to a buyer who sells a similar product whereas it might have less value to someone in another industry.
Dunno. I'm pretty sure there's some magic numbers out there for certain industries. I think it's one of those variables you argue about during negotiations.
