I did the drinking thing a couple of times. Once when making a pitch to an investor I stopped at a bar first for a quick beer. It worked. The other time I had to present in my non-native language (French). Stopped in the hotel bar for a

I was thinking about this very idea. The Federal Reserve introduces a crypto currency that is centrally controlled and replaces the dollar (over time). Next, income taxes and State sales tax are eliminated and the revenue is replaced with a

I have shared similar concerns about the NSA's involvement with the Trusted Computing Group and called for TCG to repudiate the NSA.

That was a great way for Time to ensure that not a single vote would be cast for Snowden.

The hatches and frames on the Mercury and Gemini capsules had to be well painted because the exposure to vacuum raised the danger of like metals welding together.

OK, set aside the judgement on rudeness for now. Twitter limits the number of people you can follow with daily limits and rate limits and a hard stop at 2,000. In order to follow more than 2,000 you need first to be followed by around 1,90

In a sense. I promote me. I actually maintain two Twitter accounts, one to broadcast industry news and my speaking gigs, the other on the topic of my first book. Both accounts have over 30K followers with a lot of overlap.

I use Twitter as a broadcast medium. People follow me for news and very short form analysis. 80% of the hits to my blog and column come from Twitter. Of course I have a lot of followers and it is rude not to follow back.

I follow 30,000 accounts on Twitter. There is no way that anything relevant/interesting shows up on my "feed". I always use the "@Connect" filter so I do not miss any Tweets directed at me. I search on key words or

Or you could use https://scrambls.com/ which uses strong crypto and works for facebook or any site. Keeping in mind that any short message protocol is vulnerable to cryptanalysis.

I have started a bunch of companies, mostly in services. The very best way to get into freelancing is to get work from your current employer. This assumes they like your work, they are not mad at you for leaving, etc. But often they are ha

My problem is too many ideas. They overwhelm me. I have started 18 companies. Most of them fail to take off. As I get older I have succeeded in fighting the idea-a-day syndrome.

Ann Arbor is actually a great supporting argument to PG's essay. It has the University, walkable neighborhoods, diverse culture, and a complete lack of willing investors. Case in point: Arbor Networks. It moved to Boston at the behest of i

Your point about having a version 1 and iterating quickly based on real world input reminds me of my experience as a mechanical design engineer. The most costly mistakes made in that field resulted from too much design and not enough protot
