You shouldn't deny your curiosities, because you never know what they'll lead to. Steve Jobs once dropped in on a Calligraphy class, and fell in love with beautiful typography. It had no practical purpose to him at the time, but later in li

Another reason why I have to work alone, from home. I really just have to pace around and talk out loud to myself sometimes. Sometimes I conduct all-hands meetings this way - which is easy because I'm the only person in my company.

I remember reading about replying to all offers that have business reply mail, and putting heavy things (like strips of lead) in the envelope so they would have to pay the postage charge - but still wouldn't get your information. I love the

but does it "enhance" the photo?

He's right - sometimes you need to stop working on your product, etc. and just ask someone to buy from you. I've had decent success signing up advertisers directly. Way better CPM than Webmaster Welfare (AdSense).

I'm surprised Evernote doesn't handle this - or does it? Maybe they'd like to buy the technology.

Sure thing. There are many members on OKCupid who are "just there to take the quizzes." Something about the way the site is set up just makes you want to fill your profile with sarcasm and snark - both of which you'll see a lot of in OKCupi

There's no reason it should take you 6 months to find a date online (though you are using OKCupid, which tends to attract emotionally unavailable women, IMO). I don't want to write too much, because it's all pretty much been written. PROFIL

You have no way of knowing whether I'm gaming Google or not. But anyway, what I'm referring to is the amount of spammy content that comes up when you do a Google search, while truly useful content doesn't do so well. Honestly, have you ever

Blog about your quest to turn 100k into 1 million. Lots of people will read it, the advertising potential would be strong, and - if you're successful - you could write a book about it.

It would be nice to see a search engine with some social intelligence, because Google is too easy to game, and has been giving poor results of late.

I don't do near as much traveling as Jason Fried; but I personally find travel to be a refreshing interruption that is usually followed by a new perspective toward my work. I'm always full of ideas after SXSW, for example.

Any other HNers who are Causal Determinists? I don't think that makes me think the world is "just." It just "is."

File this under -> Gladwellian Pop Psychology. I recall learning about the exact same thing 10 years ago in Psych 280. This is a Psychological phenomenon that is actually studied academically. So, "Pop Psychology" probably isn't accur

I did get an undergraduate degree. But when it came time to consider getting a graduate degree in business, I made the following comparison: a) I could spend two years of my life, and over $100,000 to learn business, then graduate in debt,

There was a deal a couple of weeks ago that I was considering getting in on. I went back at 2pm, and the deal was closed - so I think they do have an upper limit on customers.
