Trunk Club is on the list and that's a personalized clothing site for men. It's probably the youngest of all the clothing sites on the list, which makes sense since it's the first one to successfully tap the men-only demographic.

These ones are going to be the types that will be able to provide value on the business development side since they have the industry connections. (Tough to call them hustlers since it's not very clear whether they are "scrappy.") If you're

I'm a little disappointed by the fact that the Op needed to change the title, perhaps to artificially drum up more attention. It doesn't take an MBA to know that businesses seek profits. Also, NPS (Net Promoter Score), which the author argu

I have a similar non-technical background (UX/design) and was curious how you were able to not get frustrated and outsource the development work rather than doing it yourself. If I was in the same position, I would get too restless and want

This is really a question of short-term gain versus long-term gain as well as tasks versus goals. For short-term fulfillment, we can entertain ourselves or keep ourselves occupied in some manner, regardless of whether it's productive. The k

This is really sad news. It's ironic that in Silicon Valley, a place that embraces failure, someone has misconstrued something and taken it too personally. I hope Ilya has found peace.

I upvoted you because I do agree it is a bit confusing. That being said, whenever it is something official from Google it tends to be on one of their blogs (Blogspot) (e.g. googlecode.blogspot.com, googleblog.blogspot.com, etc.). For blogs,

That sounds ideal but then how many hours in a day do you think you're working? sleeping? I'm not saying you need to reach some optimal number but don't you miss having a bit more structure?

I know we talk a lot about privacy here and Google's requirement to use your real name. When seeing people's names and the network effects of events like this, it gets a bit unsettling. At least with Facebook, social networks and groups are

I'm curious to find out if what they're trying to isolate is "discipline." I'm not talking about the colloquial definition of discipline but rather exercising the ability to do what's best even if it's not convenient. I'm talking about the
