Posts like this that advocate working on your start up by squeezing hours out of your day ignore the switching costs involved. Even when I do decide to turn my hour TV-time into an hour of project-time, it takes a while to get back into th

It's obviously not illegal to hire contractors to work on a specific projects. The scheme you're suggesting where an employer hires people and calls them "independent contractors" to dodge taxes is not at all what's being discussed in the a

The article defines "charity" in an incomplete way; simply giving your money away is only half of the equation. The other half of donating money is finding the organization that will leverage it to the most good. You could simply give aw

This is a failed attempt at a singleton pattern. The main problem here (there are MANY) is that there is no check to see if a Singleton already exists, meaning that the "Singleton" can be scrapped and replaced with a new object (most likel

Do you think it's possible to think a situation is worse than it is? If so, realism and pessimism would be different things.

I think there is shame in slacking. It's not like Scott is forgoing a job to work on something he views as more important. He's doing nothing but consuming resources because of his own selfishness and arrogance.

Are you arguing that it's easier to become "well-networked" by sitting at home? How do you think you would impress more people? By working or by being too arrogant to work?

The use of the credit score as an indicator of character is also frustrating for those of us that don't borrow money. Even if you don't borrow money you run into resistance trying to get insurance, etc.

Life may not be fair in every situation, but if you were really creating value for the company it shouldn't be too hard for you to find another job that may even furnish you with a proper chair.

Sounds like your opinon on this topic ends up depending on your locale. In America, you can walk up to a bank and open an account with $20 no questions asked. It's been a few years since I rented an apartment, but I only needed an extra m

You'd probably encourage more women to start companies if you gave them free day care and household services. Who's the you in this sentence? The government? Investors? This strikes me as a tautology. Just about anyone would start a

Doesn't this fit more appropriately the other way around? "I don't know. Why would you use a language other than PHP? Most people use PHP. What's so special about you that you need what another language has to offer?" In your example, th

How would you legally define "speculation?" How could you prove it is different from normal investment? Do you think anyone would buy the debt of a nation that threatened to throw you in jail if you did so in a way they didn't like? What
