We should be careful to not conflate intensity (at one's work) with being a one-dimensional human being. Intensity is generally a good thing. Being one-dimensional is not. Regardless of whether you're just starting out and are the

For each point there is a counter-point about why it's a good place to invest: FinTech businesses don’t scale quickly. => it takes a long time to build a business, but once you're there it's harder to get usurped by new up

Loved this article. It really reminded me of some of Seneca's writing, specifically _On the Shortness of Life_: > Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very gr

Based on everything I learned about this space from starting, operating, and later selling a company that does exactly this in the summer of 2014 [1] [2], I'm bullish on this idea. I think it's definitely a step in the right direc

I've been using Anki on my iPhone for the past 3 years and it's been quite effective. Highly recommend it for anybody who has a lot of content to learn. It's really useful if you can make time for it on a daily basis.

I'm probably going to get downvoted a lot for this, but this is probably the exact feeling people on the other side get that causes them to go to Syria and take up arms and join isil. Edit: To be 100% clear, I'm by no means sympat

Aptitude is very overrated. I think if you're curious enough to wonder if you're good enough / have natural "aptitude", you more than likely have enough "aptitude" to go with it and can pursue programming.

The HR person might have changed jobs / companies. It sounds like this is more an internal screw-up on their part, and that they would be lucky to have you. Definitely email the head of HR. In the email, try and go with "really e

Beautiful! So much more readable than the other Arabic fonts I've seen in the past. This is a little far fetched, but I think is a huge win for society. Better Arabic fonts = easier Arabic-only speakers to do work online = more opportu

Not sure what you mean by "dominate", but there's $13 trillion in mortgage debt outstanding as of Q4 2014, $5T of that is held by federal agencies, and $4.5T is held by financial institutions [1]. So it's actually a mu

Mortgages get disproportionately low airtime in the startup world, which I've always thought was strange, especially considering how significant they are to the US (and global economy). Check out LendingHome ( http://lendingh
