Unfortunately 'Republican' has become synonymous with the extreme-religious-right - itself a likely small subset of all Republicans. It's this 'subset' who actively promote certain world views - a popular one being that evolution is only a

Do not sign up for Upmo - it's a deceptive service that will spam your LinkedIn accounts without you knowing about it. Shame on them.

This is great news - raising capital for a new venture has traditionally been controlled by restrictive regulations. While the regulations were likely originally designed to protect investors from getting scammed, they also end up making it

The problem with the world of finance is that it does not create anything in and of itself. It is a derivative of true commerce, true business, the real world. Now that the big bonuses, expensive sell-weekends and general prestige associate

One theme across most of those stories is that the author and his team went out and built something before validating their ideas. Actually building a product is perhaps the HEAVIEST way to validate whether there's a market for the idea. Sp

We need everyone to stand united across all borders against this kind of BS legislation. If Canada somehow lets this pass it creates a dangerous precedent for future US developments. This affects us all.

I love the idead of a flat tax. I think H&R Block might not be so excited by something like that though... imagine if we could all file our taxes in under 5 minutes??? The accounting industry would certainly take a hit... This is perhap

Wow... I previously worked in finance, and the sad part is that every one of those comments sounds right at home for a Wall St bank. Happy I got out when I did.

If you know the problem you're solving and how to solve it well (i.e. product-market fit), then you shouldn't waste your time on a hack MVP. Build something awesome. Unfortunately, the majority of work for a startup is about finding product

Priority #1 is to remain genuine. That's what you stand for. Restaurants might actually be more open to offering coupons to travellers - in a sense, those customers are not repeat business, so they shouldn't be worried about impacting their

I think your business model might be wrong. As Iaks points out below, the $5 price point is not far from that of a used travel book. Perhaps offer the content free, then work with top restaurants and retailers on the 'tours' you recommend a

This will simply lead to more piracy of content... there is no way to justify that an e-book should cost more than a physical one, under ANY circumstance... there are no printing, distribution or sales costs involved... I expect this will j
