Starting a company is a roller-coaster ride like none other. YCombinator actually has a graph here about this exact subject (now updated to include MixPanel analytics FAIL!). I would very much like to see that graph. Also, did s

I know many (as in, 10+) people who started a company and got utterly fucked for the next decade, maybe two, because of its failure; and all they have to show for it is a period on their CV that they have to make excuses fo

Speaking of rhetoric, I loved the essay "How to Teach a Child to Argue" by Jay Heinrichs http://www.figarospeech.com/teach-a-kid-to-argue/ I also found his book "Thank you for arguing" really interesting and informative. His essay is a de

Dunno if it's intended as one, but this would probably work very nicely as a honeypot for recruiters that spam resumes to every job posting on the web. Just auto-ignore anybody who also emails the address in that posting.

Wow, that sounds cool. What's the topic? As far as actually getting up and talking, all I can really say is that you should stay relaxed. Those people want to like you. They have chosen to come and listen to you because they know you

Personally I think resume's are loads of crap and I do my best to avoid giving them out. I find it a much better strategy to talk about what problems a manager is facing and how my joining the team will help resolve those problems. To answ

I suggest you try to add some high achievers to your circle of friends. People who are successful in the way you you dream of becoming. If your current group of friends are not interested in actually working hard to make those dreams a real

It's good to have the goal so long as you work towards achieving it . So (in my family at least) we say "We'll do X when we have Y money and we're saving Z amount off the top of each paycheque towards it"

I think that advertisement needs to sell people a little better on why they would want to switch. What specific pain does this promotion address, and why is it worth $10.50 + $3/mo to switch to your service?

Those fall into the "other" category. As I write this, "Other" has 5.91% of the votes (52 / 880 votes) Give the guy a break. You can't list every possible choice and based on these numbers, it doesn't look like very many people use the tec

You missed the "I don't really care" option. To me it's just another fad. Like when we get a bunch of Apple Appstore, or Facebook privacy, or Clojure, or Android, or whatever posts clogging up the main page. After a while people settle dow

I had a H1b but just about maxed it out so now I hold a TN1 (I'm Canadian). The upside of the TN is that I can (in theory) get an unlimited number of them and there is no cap on how many can be issued in a year. The downside is that if I st
