Sorry gang, might be grossly off-topic, but couldn't help myself. Took this after dinner tonight at a life-long friend's. His wife snapped it on her iPhone4. Unfortunately, my iPhone 3GS doesn't look like it will make it. A worthy sacrifice

I definitely admire that you and your team are setting a deadline then just jumping in. I can't comment on whether or not this will work for you or not, but I admire the guts it takes to do this. One thing others in your situation need to c

I don't agree with the comment you're replying to, but if we all had to be equals to the icons we criticize... the online world of commentary, discussion, and blogs would cease to exist. I'm not American, but it would be like not being able

That's way too broad and general. The problems that hit entrepreneurs along the way are often things they don't know they should be learning before it's too late. By that point, the only thing you're learning from is your mistakes, and that

Not everyone looks at it as a popularity contest though. A lot of people look at it as "holy shit, there are a hundred comments in this thread, I don't have time to read them all, and I'm glad I can see what the collective opinion is about

The analysis is interesting, and I think it fits for low values of n (and even then, only if the VCs LOVE the team), but I think you might be looking too far ahead without doing the non-numerical analysis. If you failed seven times, do you

Just an aside, but you specifically explain the proper spelling of your name as "BuzzData", but your logo uses a lowercase "d" while still using an uppercase "B", i.e. "Buzzdata" instead of "BuzzData". Not important, just thought I'd point

I think in Rand's case, it means "poor". He has tremendous value built up in his company, but nothing personally to show for it. He's still an unforseen string of bad luck or hospital stay from being completely broke (or worse). That's why

I think a lot of people think of "work harder" as "work harder to better yourself" (like learning new skills or becoming better at things you already know), not just "put in the hours and try really hard and do your best". If you use the fo

For me it's all about how much I love the project I'm working on. Find something you're really... REALLY passionate about. If you're working full-time and want to be productive after work, you have to absolutely love the project almost to t

You'd pay $30-$40 per month for a service that generates an extra $1,500 in revenue per month? I don't think your argument for someone to build this tool for you is very compelling ;-) Oh how I long for the good 'ol days when people just pa

My comment was an aside. I never implied being a real hacker means staying up all night. I don't enjoy it (although I like fighting off the fatigue when I'm really enjoying my work). I was just relating the circumstances that lead up to mem

Everybody does some of the time, but not everybody does all of the time. I can relate: there is nothing like being tired, going to bed, have a hard/frustrating problem roll around in your head, come up with a solution you were agonizing ove

You choose to participate in a specific community and its collective approval or disapproval of news items, or you don't. That's how it works. Is this such a big deal? I think I wasted about... five or six seconds... ignoring bitcoin storie

There's some negativity about this post, but in no way is he bashing non-entrepreneurs. He's just saying if you have the guts to put it all on the line, then win or lose, that's still a big deal, and don't worry about the non-entrepreneuria

The concept that ideas aren't important is getting really old. Sure, once you have your idea, the execution and vision are what's going to make you successful. But is one idea better than another? Yes. Do you want great vision and execution

I could go work at an amazing company and they could be really happy to have me, but we'll never both have the same idea about an ideal outcome. I'll want more and they'll want to give me less. I think that's more what negotiating is about,

This is not negotiating (unless you're paying for the person you're taking home). I can't remember ever negotiating to get someone to go on a date with me. There is definitely a two-way process/interaction going on, but I don't think it's a

I'm going to fill out your survey to help out, but just a suggestion: Your survey is all about golf, and this site isn't about golf. I'm sure your survey is product research of some sort, but if you told us a bit about WHY you're asking and

Can we also skip the submissions asking people not to post things instead of just letting the community decide the same way it's been done for years?

People seeking knowledge, experience, and advice outbidding each other to sit down with people with knowledge, experience, and advice. For charity. Doesn't seem so backwards to me.

Almost all (if not all) entrepreneurs thrive on the creation process, but not all thrive on the nurturing part once a company reaches a certain level. Sometimes, the creative process just isn't a big enough part of the process anymore when

I'd rather be a rich nobody than a poor rockstar. If you keep solving real problems, I'm sure you'll be fine.

So we're going to say a program that helps women is discrimination against men, and a program that helps minorities is discrimination against white people? Why must a program that helps one group of society be viewed as discrimination again
