So you're going back to the beginning every time. If you had stayed with your first profession, who is not to say you could now be owning a series of ranches around your area?

The point of the article is that when your experience translates well, you should do that. When it does not, you should not.

It's not even a post, just a comment too long for twitter. I disapprove of it being posted here.

This post was not supposed to be an analysis of the situation (and was not to be posted here), it's just my observation that SMS verification on Facebook just does not work. But credit card verification works. It could be incompetence, but

One problem may also be this - the links between African countries is weak. For example, if I have an office in Singapore, I am basically covering all of South East Asian very effectively. I can move people and resources across SE Asia from

Nothing is done, just cleared the spot of grass and there is some shack there. I worked on a water wheel when I was there a year or two back, but we could not get it to work (and produce electricity). I'll make a HN post maybe someone will

I'm considering starting a jungle resort where people can come and hack for a few weeks and build a house with their own hands. Unlike the reddit people, I actually already own the place. In october or so, I'll start some preliminary work,

They are right in that it just does not happen that fast. Furthermore, trying to make cash when you are under pressure to make cash rarely works - people who need cash quickly usually don't have the time or the patience to successfully brin

There are some people who work well within platforms and some who work well outside of platforms. A platform, in many ways, levels the playing fields. It gives a bigger chance to us 'normals'. See, those who do well outside of platforms are

My deal is that I will not let myself be bullied by a person who people support just because he is an angel investor (and they want his money). He's relentlessly attacking me every opportunity he gets for absolutely no reason, and because h

I love guessing at stuff, because problems are much more fun when you are only given little bits to work with.

I don't think he was happy at google, just like I don't think he was happy at yahoo. I think he should write a book now. It's the natural progression for people who make a single hit startup - they sell it, join some big company, decide tha

Unfortunately, I have the same problem. I have two PCs that I am always sitting at when I am home. I rarely use my couch. And the PCs are just a little bit easier to use and faster to use than the iPad, so I can hardly use it for that. The

It seems a month ago there were 4000 iPad apps made and now there are 5000? iPad is not the same gold-rush for app developers as the iPhone was, that's for sure.

The problem with Ebola is not really the cure. It's the factors around the disease that make it very difficult to cure. First of all, Ebola is very similar to malaria. In all the areas that Ebola occurs, malaria also occurs, and it would be

When you get on a sum of money quickly, you lack the neccessary skills to manage it. And you will blow it quicker than you think, because there are many toys out there. So invest your time in learning how to manage a larger sum of money, an

The disconnect between the world we are living in and the streets is huge. That's why I hesitate to pass judgment on other people - I don't know how they have been shaped by their society, and perhaps if I went through the same process they

I mean, seriously, I'd never specialise in this language because everyone will turn to a teenager when you are listing your skills. You are really good at coq ? So, what's your favorite thing about coq ? Do you guys ever have coq meetup

That sucks. So basically, Gnu is saying that nobody is allowed to develop for Apples platform with any GPLed code? That does not seem like freedom to me. The GPL knows that the software will be removed from the store. So they are basically

I've moved around a lot, but bigger distances (Asia, a lot within Europe Europe, Africa), and one thing I've noticed is that the more you move, the more you abstract away the particular details of the place and focus on a start of bigger pi

I've decided to only build on platforms from now on. You know why - the amount of marketing you have to do to reach people when you are not on a platform is huge. For people who have a marketer in their team, avoiding platforms may be a bad

I don't get this. They open the conversation with "So how the fuck are you?" If you start that way, then closing with "Fuck off" does not seem unusual at all.

Obviously, it does not work for everyone. For me it works, because the second project is like a "hobby". Hobbies help.

Try doing two things at the same time. Let one be the one you are hyper-excited about, but that is not going to make money. Let the other be the "work" that you carefully plan through and slowly work through. You can change the other projec
