Every successful endeavor involves luck. A corollary to that is that no successful endeavor is inevitable. Anyone who claims their startup's success was "inevitable" is just trying to stroke their own ego or make some money f

I may be accused of nitpicking here but the Pareto Principle is, although related, distinct from the Pareto family of distributions. I don't intend to derail the conversation so, rather than typing out an explanation of obscene length,

I couldn't agree more. In addition, I am one of the (apparently) few who use FF almost exclusively on my mobile devices. No, FF isn't perfect on my phone but it works just the way I need it to 90% of the time. In fact, I've b

The reason it isn't hard to say that (about war and power) is, in large part, because we are preceded by people like Madison. It is, I have found, very difficult for people to accurately assess what it would be like to not know somethi
