I lived in a condo for 4 years and the building had a gym downstairs. It couldn't have been more convenient to workout every day, and yet I only worked out a handful of times. For me, it was just a matter of finding the motivation.

by byoung2 12y ago
For me the hardest part was just getting started. I had been putting off going to the gym for years. Every few years I'd sign up for a membership and then never end up going. I'd be too busy, too tired, you name it. Then 6 months

a higher probability of making it rich by being an early employee than by founding your own startup There are an order of magnitude more early employees than there are founders, so it makes sense...for every founder made rich, there are 1

The same reason people play the high stakes tables instead of penny slots...orders of magnitude more risk means orders of magnitude more reward.

Remember that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. So you can ask any "interview" type question. What do you feel are this company's strengths compared to the competition? What are the biggest chall

Ask for $15k more and after some back and forth, offer to meet in the middle at $8k more. Working in your favor is the fact that they already know you are good and that you are a good fit. By hiring you, they are also saving the time and ex

In the US, the FAA tracks storms six to eight hours in advance, and assigns routes to avoid them Is this not true in other countries?

To be fair, the grocery stores' own delivery services charge similar markups, and they don't allow coupons. A spot check at Vons (Safeway) for items I just bought yesterday shows more than 20% markup for delivery orders, plus a de

I've yet to find an egg like that, though I've heard you can get them if you raise backyard chickens. I've seen very firm yolks in the Philippines, where the farm to store time is hours, not days or weeks like in the US. Eg

Using "they" would be grammatically incorrect since the subject is singular. To be politically and grammatically correct I could have gone with "he/she" or "the OP" but statistics and history are on my sid

The part of the question that interested me was whether you were in the Bay Area or not. Striking out on your own in Montana or Pakistan might be different from doing so in SF.

Keep in mind that electric vehicles will get cleaner over time (as more electricity is generated from renewable resources), whereas gas-powered cars will not.

We interviewed with StartEngine, but weren't impressed. There is no actual structured program (e.g. office hours, dinners), their graduates have a poor track record of raising money, and they have had no successful exits.

One can’t name a single Asian-American whose name you can take to the bank and get a project financed. I would imagine Ryan Potter could be bankable, given his recent success with Disney's Big Hero 6, or Steven Yeun, with his followi

Exactly...there are lots of reasons to reject a candidate, none of which have to do with the OP's opinion of the guy. Companies interview for a lot more than competence. Culture fit is a huge one. He may be the best programmer in the w

Assuming all 3 made equally attractive offers, I'd go with Company C and get a good mix of cash and stock and the promise that there's a path toward running my own department or division. The hope is that if and when the company m
