The people running the contest owed you nothing. It sounds like you weren't a good match. Move on. The fact that you aren't what they wanted, and they aren't what you wanted, isn't a reflection on either of you. > i d

There are a lot of successful businesses whose "USP" is "we're local" or "we're friendly" or "we're open and we have the thing you need." Does McDonald's have a USP? Ford? Target?

Could a Canadian blogger sign up for a .com address instead, if they wanted to share less information? My impression is that many people feel a sense of pride in their nationality and are happy (or eager) to identify with their country of c

It's an interesting idea. It occurs to me that it may not be profitable (or interesting) for Sublime to have customers who have paid $25. My experience has been that people who pay a low price are often more demanding and harder to wor

Rather than thinking about things you can't realistically change (sex/race), I would think about other things - e.g., is your company the sort of thing that VC's want to fund? And, do you really want VC? If your business is V

Wow. The key this made for me is so much nicer than my old key. I see what they mean about the high-quality entropy. Those crazy Germans do everything better. It seems like SSH runs much faster with the optimized keys, and with such good en

In my mind, the core reason not to work for NSA is that their organizational values and behavior are incompatible with our Constitution and with civil society. Some people think that's important, some people don't, some people don
