When I first joined Facebook, I used it like a typical social network back in the day (added as many friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc as I could), with very surface-level interactions (pokes, shared cows and sheep with contacts, etc).

When I was a hiring manager, I used to always include a personal note that included suggestions and constructive criticism for the candidate. In a couple of cases, those people replied to me, demonstrated some actions towards those goals, a

For the f.lux Mac users here, do you prefer that to Mac's Night Shift? I just found this article, which details why f.lux is better than Night Shift. But it's written by f.lux, so it's a bit biased. https://9to5mac

I totally agree with everything brandall10's written. I've always found that "act as if" can be a powerful tool, except perhaps in dysfunctional organizations. In other words, "act as if" you're already a

If you like dealing with clients (and it sounds like you may be patient enough to be good at doing this), you could try your hand at being a project manager and managing several development contractors for the projects you get from your cli

I see what you mean. Yea, I hear you. There've been studies showing how attractiveness can shape the perceptions and behaviors of others, so unfortunately, what you're experiencing seems to be baked into the behavior of many peopl

It depends on which vector you deem yourself mediocre. If you think your technical skills are mediocre and want to be a technical contractor, then focus on being a great solutions provider. And by "solutions provider," I mean take

If you are referring to ethnicity, than yes, I definitely agree. If you are referring to your clothes, then yes, there are definitely cultural biases (e.g. reactions to burkas). With that said, I still do see some people (albeit rarely) sti

Very true. And there are cultural and ethnic biases to this too. I still see people who are able to bridge these divides and still establish rapports, if not acquaintanceships. Friendships/acquaintanceships are also two-way streets. So

I see this not as a consequence of the #metoo movement and more of a consequence of the lack of social intelligence & skills education. Because it IS entirely possible to befriend a women and not come across creepy, regardless of your p

The book "How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character" by Paul Tough is a nice primer on this topic. The book includes findings from the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study [1] that points at a l

This is very important info. I've seen some founders get tripped up over this. Hopefully Stripe Atlas LLC provides support for foreign entity registration and taxes too (I would assume they do).

I was a little skeptical of this advice, so I did some online searching. There are a bunch of articles with anecdotes about this working, but here's an article that seems to have a bit more substance about this method: https:/&#x

I love the new way Ben's organized his content. Since it's WordPress, I've always wondered why his categories and tags weren't publicly available. This is a fantastic way to surface up old content. Not everyone may agree

Yes! I once implemented a GetSatisfaction/UserVoice-esque feedback widget. The most useful feedback we received came in when we worded the widget with text like, "What problem would you like us to solve for you?" It got sligh

I would argue yes, find a smaller number of paying customers and tailor the experience to them. It's incredible difficult to get paying customers, and if you can get some, then you can begin the journey of expanding your feature set &#

The sad thing is, there are people who know how to manipulate the media for nefarious gains. Not that I'm arguing that this story is like that, but it's sad to me that many journalists are motivated to publish sensational stories

Same here. Our package came 2 days late. The meat and perishables... perished. At least they gave us a voucher. But whatever they did to cut costs/speed up delivery/prepare for IPO was executed very poorly.
