Last spring I was working on my laptop on travels through Thailand. Loved it. I also stayed on Koh Chang, at a couple different resorts that had wifi. One was on Lonely Beach (Can't remember the name), one was at Bang Bao (Cliff's Cottages)

My first business was designed with two purposes: to earn a profit, and to support artisans in developing countries. Was it a business or a charity? Well, its legal structure was 'business' but its purpose was not only to earn a profit for

I don't know anyone who actually gives just to feel good. Feeling good is a by-product of giving, but only because you've done something worthwhile (or so you believe). That people bitch about CEO compensation doesn't mean they don't want t

I think you're right. TL can be a fair point to make, but DR usually means you shouldn't post a comment at all. How can you add value to the conversation if you haven't read the thing? The principle of brevity is only violated when length e

Why all the cynicism here? I read his email this evening and thought it was helpful both for tactics (how to do xyz...) and motivation (gets me fired up to hear an entrepreneur talk about how he actually gets shit done).

Bravo to the investigation team. I started doing international business in 2003 when I was 20, and this article says it like it is. I'm really happy to see that people are working hard for institutional change, and the media is noticing. Ar

My two cents... 1. After clicking the "compare" button, say something like "Choose another netbook to compare <your selection to>?" And don't make me click "browse", show the models immediately (preferably the models, not brands). 2

Ever visited the Dusit zoo in Bangkok? I don't like most zoos, but thought this one was done really well.

Do you speak more than one language? The people I know who do, are usually very clear that they find themselves thinking in one or another language.

I wish I could help with your questions, but I'm more on your side of the coin (about to build a Django site with some social functionality) and so I have some questions of my own for you, if you don't mind.. :) How have you found Django fo

Abuse of geometry is popular these days. But hey, pseudoscience sells. Makes the reader feel smart when he "figures it out".

I saw something just like this from Orlando, Florida (I live in Alberta but was there for a trade show) on Tuesday, the same day as the police cam. The one I saw didn't make as huge a flash at the end, but it was still the most incredible t

No kidding. But I'd bet if you spend a few hours on Fox News, you'll be your genius self again in no time.

I have 'left the fold' of institutional support early and have been battling the devils (and enjoying the fruits) of independence, on-and-off for 5 years. I think there is an enormous amount of amazing potential for "super-empowered individ

A piece of paper is added to the stack and cut. Adhesive is applied. Another piece of paper is added to the stack and cut. Adhesive is applied. And so on.

If he did have a filter (to look at who has upvoted him the most during YC application review), it would likely not weigh in favour of those who unfalteringly agree with everything he says.

I just tried CoolIris, what a pain -- both to install (a 13mb download) and to use (the sweeping scrolling animation lasts way too long, very impractical). I actually enjoyed windowshop... for me, it captures the experience of walking throu

Totally agree. Maybe it could be a greasemonkey-added "Send later..." button that you have to manually click on every time (to avoid thinking you sent an email, but it was actually put into a queue) along with an input box for delay-time.

Yeah -- nasty stuff, and it keeps accumulating for years. My brother had a '91 Dodge Colt that would always get that film on the windshield.

Cars also give off loads of nasty fumes (new car smell anyone?). My sister cancelled an order for a Nissan Versa because of its horrible rating on healthycar.org (lists all cars and how bad they are for this) and didn't want to risk it with

Or, look at science for the answer, and discover that toxins off-gassing from products and homes are a largely underreported phenomenon with far-ranging effects on the human body.

I learned about this after running into a guy in a Potassium Sorbate company in China. They are gradually taking over the market for potassium/sodium benzoate in soft drinks. There has even been some controversy over how Pepsi/Coke has been

For me, Twitter shows potential of contributing to the "third places" of online life. The informal coffee shop where you're free to overhear conversations and join in when you want... but just as free to keep reading your book. No harm in s
