Thanks for the question – this is Ben (subject of OP). I listed some causes I think are valuable in the interview, but in general I think GiveWell and ACE are good evaluators: * http://www.givewell.org/ * http://

Thanks for the question – this is Ben (subject of the article). I think living on minimum wage is a nice thing for journalists to put as a headline, but I tend to shy away from it as actual advice. If you are able to donate $100,000 per yea

Entrepreneurs are, in general, not motivated by money. This may be what you are saying - in which case I agree! What I object to is this statement: > Or may you just don't have the risk tolerance for entrepreneurship. Risk tolerance

Generally researchers identify industries by using a code system like [NAICS]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Industry_Classif... ). My guess is that the Google founders would not have been in a similar indu

I would disagree with the causality. The sort of person who can get an influential job in a top-tier startup is probably also the sort of person who can start a good company.

I think this is in interesting point (modulo the remark made elsewhere about "assuring" success), but I don't have the evidence to know how it should affect your decisions. The research I cited found that first time and faile

Pardon my naivete, but why isn't this obvious? Of course two systems can only be consistent if they can communicate, so you have to either sacrifice availability until the partition is resolved, or give up on consistency.
