I can understand why startups need funding to get them off the ground, but I think this indicates that the focus might change away from "investing in tech that might turn into something" towards "only investing if there is a credible busine

Quitting that job probably saved your life, although I know it looks different at the moment. Remember what it was like working so hard your body could not keep up? Well guess what, that's when accidents happen. Serious ones. Just be thankf

I have long been an advocate for a single internet currency, independent of all governments. Looks like I'm not alone. It's a hard sell though because so much of our lives are tied into the currency of the region that we live. How would you

Why do people who have no skill/training/in-depth knowledge in the subject they have ideas about, feel that they qualify for being entrepreneurs/start-up founders and deserve success? I'm not saying that you have to have a totally profound

Great video in fact. But here's the thing, what if you have the energy and passion to persevere - it’s just part of who you are - but nothing happens. I’m sure there have been many great people out there who were “insane” as Jobs put it, bu

I think if it's this easy to find critical points about him, then you ought to ask yourself why you should be continuing. You might be able to end the relationship now, and stay as friends, rather than prolong it and fall out. Always a good

Wow. I didn't know that. What about cross-domain policy? Is this trying to legitimise XSS or are they trying to patent the use of iframes?

I spent 4 years work standing up, at a drawing desk - it was really great. I had a high chair to sit on if you needed to but most of the time I was standing with a pen in my hand and the board at a slight tilt towards me. I wasn't an archit

I've noticed there is a general malaise around a lot of people at the moment, and I think it has nothing to do with personal circumstances, and more to do with the "impending end of the world scenario" that's been in the media now for nigh

OK sounds like hell, but your programmer is probably not a dick, he's probably got other stuff on his mind and I don't just mean the family. As founders you're no doubt driven people, it's what it takes, but you can't expect everyone to sha

Mmmm you're clearly not a procrastinator. By replying to my post with urgency, you indicate a tendancy to get things done, unless of course you didn't finish reading the article, in which case welcome to the club.

I don't get the anger here. Surely all of us has written code at some point that tracks what a user is doing, even if it's just to keep state. What's the difference between that and what Facebook might (/must) be doing? The difference as fa

Isn't this what they call Eugenics? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics I know you have to give your kids the best that you can, but you also have to let them find their way. Education helps teach us about what other people have done (b

"begin by establishing a hierarchy of the tasks you have to do" I bet I could procrastinate about doing this too.

I can't think of a project that I've worked on which hasn't suffered from companies not understanding that you cannot build without a structural plan of some kind, and that the person charged with making that plan needs to know what they're
