   When you have a lot of sheep around, evolution is bound to come up with a sheep that feeds on other sheep. For such mutants, having 'social camouflage' is a critical trait, because otherwise they would be losing to normal sheep du

   I have two rules when searching for domains. First, I never search for a complete name. I use www.namedroppers.com that allows partial name searches. E.g. if I'm looking for 'coolwidgets', I'd search for "olwidge". And second, if I see a po

    I'm currently reformulating my hiring requirements. Last time I hired people was about 9 years ago. Some of them were great (they still work for me), some awful. I looked at the most awful cases and I think I've figured out what was missing

    I HATE videos with no transcript, but I like karma, so here's the summary I made for my bookmark: Best piece of advice you received? -- "It's the people, stupid." Everyone ignores it, he ignored it too at first. It's the same advice anyon

    IANAL, but here's my bit of non-legal advice -- DMCA them. We once nuked a Romanian cloner who copied our app -- our lawyer wrote a DMCA complaint to Google, ShareIt and his hosting company. As a result, the cloner was thrown out of Google,
