Not okay with it but I suspect that the NSA (and other governmental agencies) would be able to access it no matter what I do. I'm also more concerned about people I know getting their hands on things than about the government doing so.

Probably slightly safer using a US hosting company. At least some civil rights apply but I don't think there are any rules against the NSA spying on people outside the US.

Alternatively, and maybe combined with #2, I'd suggest looking at LinkedIn for brokers and property management companies. Sounds like they're your big customers and individuals or small landlords will help but won't make or break your busin

You can do pretty well without playing but it's just much slower.

Exactly right. They've made a choice but it's a choice that they benefit from by getting people to use their products. It's not something they're doing purely out of the goodness of their hearts the way an anonymous donation would be (that

I have the same experience in the US. Seems like it might be a problem with the admin panel on a page (since other pages don't seem to have the issue).

I think salary is taxed at a higher rate than bonuses, which could be part of it.

But he doesn't seem to have an appreciation that these trends aren't new or any idea for how to solve it. We've faced these problems before. Cars made horses obsolete and left many (horse) drivers, stablehands, and others without jobs. Mech

Real estate agents are rarely hired because they're the best. They're hired because they have a relationship with the person selling the house or their relative or friend. It's also difficult to separate the good from the bad because the bu

Might be true in theory but not in NYC. There are constantly cases of illegal hotel conversions where landlords try to run their own hotels. That might be partially to avoid licensing (I know hotels in NYC need special permits) and taxes, b

They exist. Just very expensive.

Just to echo this: I was in a similar situation and did this (though without asking for healthcare) and it was the best decision I made throughout the course of the experience. Everything crystalized pretty quickly that they didn't have a p

Also during the summer. There are lots of people with vacation homes there.

I've never had a client ask or complain about that, and the ones who would probably aren't clients you want, either.

I had good meat before I became a vegetarian but it's just not a food I really enjoy. I enjoyed high-quality meat but it just wasn't a taste I was ever especially attached to.

The University of Phoenix receives an incredible amount of taxpayer subsidies. Between budget cuts and the low-quality instruction it (and similar schools) provide, I think that's the most ripe for disruption.

I used to use them for everything but seems like there are always little bugs or weird configurations to deal with. Still the cheapest and my own site is there (I'm too busy with other things to move it), but no longer my favorite.

Do you have a link? Curious to see what kind of user I am (I also generally like the new interface; seems perfectly fine for me).

Maybe not off that market cap but from everything I've read, Bezos and the Amazon leadership isn't focused on market cap. They're making a tidy profit, even if it's not as much as you or the market might want, and are running a great busine

My worry, though, is how do you know you're reaching a local maxima? What's the tip off that the slow-going is a sign that you need to change directions and not just work harder?

It might just be easier to have that option than to negotiate individually with each large company.

If you can, just meet with people. Sit down, talk about their problems, and how you can help them. Far more direct than blogging and hoping someone reads it.

At a certain point, bigger won't be better, right? What's the maximum effective size? When an image is so big it just takes over your screen?

A team I interned with did standups at the end of the day but honestly, at that point, you just want to go home; you don't want to stay to hear what's going on with everyone else.

Trust me, as someone who's run very large advertising campaigns, having someone from Google read your email doesn't mean they'll do anything. They have ridiculous rules for larger advertisers, as well.
