I like speakers who don't take themselves too seriously, especially when they are talking about a top 10 list. So, for me, the last rule adds 10x credibility to the first nine. It is: "The laws of entrepreneurship are not laws of nature. Yo

Exactly. I think it is a false dichotomy too.

Here's my question: Is being a bad boss a necessary requirement for being a visionary? I am betting the answer is no. In my experience you can drive people to work really hard without being an asshole as long as you are willing to share the

What are they replacing nuclear power with? From what I understand, Germany is one of the few countries ramping up manufacturing, which is a huge consumer of power. It's interesting that they are essentially cutting supply as demand increas

Ah, I read "component" to mean a hardware component and then rushed to check of a Nook Color 3G had been released. Oh well.

>Also, there's a problem with the 3g network component that prevents the nook from sleeping unless it's in airplane mode. You are running Android on the Nook 3G with the black and white (eink) screen?

Here's some more anecdotal evidence from my personal experience that "hanging out with a 30 year old" in sixth grade is not always bad, and shouldn't always be considered strange. I grew up in a small middle class neighborhood in a small to

It is hard not to respect someone who treats their customers right AND treats fellow HN readers like customers, even when they are clearly in the wrong as I was. I went to your profile and to bingocardcreator.com and appointmentreminder.o

I can confirm this finding. Assuming he hasn't edited his comment since my reply (a very fair assumption), I entirely missed his point.

I think I talked to maybe three adults who were not parents, teachers, or family in an eight year period. Don't mean to pry, so feel free to ignore this, but how do you reckon not talking to more than 3 adults over a 8 year period is fort

It is excellent work, both the UI and the graphics. If you don't mind recommending the designer, I'd love to know who did it. With regards to getting more users, you should at least look into how much it would cost to buy keywords such as "

Wouldn't you have preferred to get your greencard in 2 or 3 years instead of 11? I know it would have made my life quite a bit easier as a co-founder. I would have started up 4 years earlier. The argument is not (yet) about whether the U.S.

Love it. Twilio is a great platform. An idea: if you want to have the customer service rep doing productive work while he waits you can have the user type in a message with their information (account number / name / address) in a text field

They are examples that it can be done. The entire tone of the article is defeatist with the author arguing that it cannot be done. For example: "you'll find yourself having to treat others - your employees - as much like slaves as you can g

Sounds like a crappy situation. Hindsight is 20/20 but what I learnt from your story is that it's important to ask investors the minimum valuation and cash/equity split they will accept before engaging a potential buyer. In general, knowing

Why are you giving potential customers an excuse not to use it every month? Are you basing this assumption on any real data? An obvious disadvantage is it could drastically reduce your revenue - Someone paying $10/month will remember to use

I really like the site. I clicked "get random clue" enough times to get multiple repeats. Perhaps a "get next clue" is in order which a user can use to avoid repeats? Also the "Read another random clue" button disappears after a couple of c

You are right, in that this act would exclude folks who want to quit their H1B jobs here and start a startup and are not yet at a stage where they can be funded, or do not want to raise funding. However, if the startup visa act were to remo

USCIS's main problem is that they are stretched too thin given the current resources. Adding a subjective approval process to their roster of duties without giving them more resources is only likely to lengthen the time it takes to get any

Paul: you are absolutely right. I think it is hard to find a better way to differentiate the barbershops from the startups short of having smart folks in the government who subjectively examine each application - and we all know how likely
