My friend has a trackchair, which is basically a wheelchair with tank tracks. Slower than these bike-style chairs but very off-road capable. The coolest one I've seen is from Ziesel - their track-style chair can go 20MPH! http:/&

Anecdote: I have wanted to do this at several points in the past few years (3 years out of school now, first real job). Although I can't say for certain what life would have been like had I done it, I'm currently glad I didn'

1-2% returns on rentals is far too low (REITs return ~12% and require no headache) but even if that was true, housing is one of the few places where a "Regular Joe" with just a little bit of research can actually gain a market adv

Since you mention that money is the main thing you need, I think you are mostly looking for a "seed stage investor". Crunchbase has a list of a ton of those (802 total) that exist in the SF Bay Area. Looking at the full list requi

To be fair, this perspective does assume that people care about the health of society as a whole. If you're willing to let others get substandard care or even die, it may be more optimal for you to have your own smaller, lower-risk poo

This used to be me. I now realize that the reason for my grogginess was that I was totally dehydrated after my 10+ hr sleeping marathon. I now sleep with a water bottle and try to drink half of it before going to bed. When I do this I find

Because I see this sentiment (PMs have easy jobs and don't really do anything) a lot on HN, I want to offer an anecdotal counterpoint: I am a PM in San Francisco and most of the PMs I know personally work extremely hard and add a good

Mental trick I recommend: You don’t have $8M - you own a business that lends money to people. Your business gives money to various companies through financial vehicles called ‘index funds’, which ensure that your loans are distributed acros

Cool tech. How exactly does this "humanize retail" as they claim? Does "removing conveyor belts" really humanize the process if the cashier behind the conveyer belt is removed too? I'm generally a big skeptic of com
