I actually get asked this question quite a bit, and I'd like to be able to offer a more informed answer. Depending on the specific interests of the person that asks, I usually always recommend Python or Scheme and the standard list of start

Good question. One of the things I do is ask potential employees to HONESTLY list several specific things they DISLIKE and/or HATE about our business (either the business model or the actual implementation.) Every business has warts, so it

I think kyro is 100% right on this point. I learned to program just for these exact reasons (better understanding of the problem domain for a business, better communication with technical staff, etc.) By all rights, I should be the absol

"ideas aren't patentable" That's true, but business methods and certain software implementations of novel ideas are patentable...at least in the US. I've found that truly good ideas are easily translated into one or both of these. The pro

"people who register what they think is a great domain name and think that's their website pretty much done now." Another painfully true observation. There is a spectrum between being a complete retard and a coding ninja, though. There are

[for sufficiently vague definitions of "idea"] Upmodded. That is brilliant. As an entrepreneur, I have very specific thoughts on what constitutes a "good idea for a business." To me, it suggests that you have four things: 1. a keen insigh

Good points. I agree with you. [One of the reasons I put so many disclaimers in my post is that I was worried I would come off as a self-righteous prick who was saying what people are doing now is not good enough and everyone should go int

Good for you, dude. That's awesome! It sounds like you ARE making a difference with your site. And there really is no need to feel defensive. Like I said, I was just trying to start a discussion...and maybe prompt a goal or gut check. I'

Yeah, I read your site. I'll email you, but I'm posting this here to get input on this issue from others. Cheap marketing research. I really don't mean to bust chops. I'm just not sure I agree with the 'feel good' angle of your diagnosti

I'm interested. I've already tried to invest in lower-cost diagnostic kits for other diseases, but the company never achieved their price goals. I am, I might add, probably the last person on earth that should be investing in life sciences

This guy is very inspiring. Such a great attitude! I recently found a red mole on my wife's skin. It was just a fluke that I noticed it. I once designed pattern recognition software to help recognize skin cancer, so I knew what to watch

I always liked the name "Jake"...? If you can also smooth talk people out of their passwords, you could call yourself a "Social Engineer."

Based on the post title, I was going to answer "Checks." Since you're talking about essays...I dunno. But, seriously, aren't you being a bit presumptuous? I mean, are you his agent or something? ;-) Writing is a very personal thing, especia

Yes, I have a problem with the source. I thought that might be your source based on your phrasing and the fact that there are so few that criticize Campbell's research. I won't go out of my way to criticize the Weston A. Price Foundation,

There is a really good book out right now called "Healthy at 100" by John Robbins that speaks to this very subject. It looks at several cultures that tend to have a larger % of HEALTHY centenarians, such as the Okinawans and Hunzans. It l
