I have a part time staff for my startup who is a close friend. We both have kids. He has a day job and a similar schedule as yours. But the difference here is that he is happy with his day job (small company where everyone is almost like fa

It doesn't make sense to do this just to block sites. They are already doing it. Can it be a fallout from the SOPA fiasco? Assuming best intentions :)- It seems like running your own autonomous root DNS enables them to stay up even if the d

I agree. Part of the value is that it is a default application in every phone. My previous startup provides an SMS gateway that sending 500K messages each year to mostly SE Asia receivers (small amount compared to what other providers do) E

I have seen resumes with 20 different languages. I simply email them to rate on a scale of 1 to 10, how good are you with each language. (So that I can have interview questions on their better language). Surprisingly (to me) or maybe not su

It looks like a strategy against low-end disruption that companies like sumopaint are causing.

Wow...I never knew about the part "as a business with less than $10M in revenues or $10M VC funding". Now it sounds like the contest is only a PR exercise. Not that it is surprising though.

I can relate. I am 33 and married, no kids. The only difference for me before and after (getting married) is the amount of time you have available for your startup before you need to spend time with your wife or kids. Age is not a factor, t

I can't say much about death punishment but.. "He said he was carrying them to Australia for a Sydney syndicate to help his brother Khoa, a former heroin addict, pay A$30,000 ($31,460) in debts." http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=news

If I may ask, you mean you will like the government to "force" or "regulate" the airline to take over the recruitment so that there is one male and one female in every cabin and at every age group? Where is the "freedom" in that? :) And wit

If you only feel like "an unlucky afternoon can result in a death sentence", it is ok. But it is really far from the truth. Oh.. unless your daily life include smuggling drugs, kidnapping or something hideous. I don't fear for my life every

It is an old and famous article and there are some interesting facts about the article you should know. You would think that the person charged, "Monetary Authority of Singapore official Shanmugaratnam Tharman", would be facing the death pe

You mean like 3 years later? But seriously, I started using Paypal recently to collect money and so far, everything is fine. I did get some checks but it was resolved after a few calls and some faxes. Not a lot of money was involved so it w

Hey me too! It happen on more than one occasion so I know it can't be coincidental. Very often, I will get stuck in debugging a programming problem and after spending hours on it, I give up and take a nap. When I wake up either the next day

I just like to build new things, like creating your own art, something to call your own. Sometimes it solves a real problem, sometimes it is just something you feel the world needs. I like the challenge of trying to sell it. The money that

I sometimes wish there is one with a special arrow button move to the next word instead of next character. Will help a lot with typing and programming.

It just shows the differences in views. Even something that is so obvious, logical, rational to you can be so ridiculous and downright stupid to others. But it will be healthy for discussion if they say why they downvote. It is like passin

The last statement in the article is interesting. "Has philanthropy solved any major social problems in the past 50 years?" Can philanthropy solve social problems in the first place? It feels like charity is more effective when it is a shor

That is being paranoid. I don't understand the downvoting. Is US a "Disneyland with guns" then? How many people have been killed by guns versus death penalty in Singapore? (Before you downvote me again, hear me out) I live here. I see lots

Why do you bother about chewing gum and having cannabis if you are looking for a place to start or run a business? Doesn't factors like low corruption, safety or market size matters more?

It depends on the X and Y. If you say - You are the "successful company" of X industry for the Y industry, then there is no issue of X overlapping Y, since X and Y are distinct enough. For Opzi, they are just targeting another segment in th

Interesting! I am trying to work out the price plan for my startup as well. Can I ask if you got people signing up for paid accounts directly or they did the free plans first and convert later?

Cool stuff. The first thing I thought about was the latency. One of the problems running VNC or remote desktop over internet is always latency. I tried running VNC to EC2 instances for a test but the experience is terrible. It will be nice

It is kinda like music. Practice can be boring to most. But learning a new piece, and performing it, or composing can be fun. So is music boring? You are asking people to explain why they love music. No matter how much anyone love music, sc

I find your points interesting, especially "Prepare to shift from SaaS to shipping hardware". Can you elaborate on this? As in why and the situation that causes it? thanks
