The problem is that most people will slack off. To work remotely, you almost have to have the same discipline that you do when you work for yourself. Most people don't have this type of discipline.

"2. Building on Someone Else’s Platform is Risky" This is a common mistake. You should only do this if your product/idea is short-term. I would never build a long-term business on Twitter or Facebook, but I see so many people attempting t

"WHY on EARTH is everyone siding with this person?" I've been wondering the same thing. I read through her initial blog post. She talks about renting out her place through Craigslist on multiple occasions (without any problems). This is

The bad press is already out there. This isn't going to fix the problem of things like this happening in the future and buying a house for everyone that is vandalized is just not a scalable business model. It would also show the world that

It happens to me from time to time. I find that reading a bunch of news sites during the day only makes this problem worse. Practice reading/working on only one thing at a time.

Wouldn't you? I would most certainly at least try to get the user to remove the blog post or update it.

This is why I hate working for other people. This kind of politics is required to move up in almost any mid-large companies.

Working a 9-5 since I was 15 gave me my work ethic. I had it before I even got to college. However, self-discipline took some work. When you have nobody to tell you what to do, it's not easy to force yourself to work. Getting away from my

Until I read this article, I had no idea you could even upload music. I was under the impression that all of the music was being streamed from the grooveshark servers.

This is a really cool idea. Much less to worry about in terms of damages.

I think it's better to save enough money for 6 months to a year, and then quit. This is what I did. When you work a regular job, it's very difficult to switch your thought process from work to startup. Not to mention the fact that you wil

It's almost like comparing countries. Some are dictatorships, others are free and more democratic.

Airbnb should partner with both and turn it into a business opportunity.

Which I find hilarious, because they themselves (anonymous) decided to censor the shooter frpm oslo's manifesto. So when censorship fits their needs, it's okay.

If it's on a separate domain, it's probably because they want to do some SEO testing without losing any rankings for the origianl fogcreek site.

Wow, so Anonymous has decided to censor and alter something online. They are getting just as bad as the government(s) they claim to be against.

I'm not so sure about this. If a company knows they have massive piracy, they will concentrate on fighting it and it will take money and resources away from potentially better content. Real competition is what spurs innovation. Piracy is

The problem is that many gamers fall into this category.

I think they are fully capable of understanding. But I can guess that the LAN party probably gets tons of complaints regarding assholes and women every year and just decided to put a stop to it. Just look at a site like Reddit (which proba

you could upload the file to your server and do a mysql_import (I assume it's tab/comma delimited). PHP can call system commands, so you could do system("Mysql import ...(file)..."). more info about the command here: http://dev.mysql.com/d

If you are an employee, it needs to be about the money. When the company gets purchased for millions of dollars (unless you have major equity), how much money are you going to get? Many startups use this excuse so they can pay employees pe

The US is a more aware society. Just because they are talked about in the news, doesn't make someone afraid, just more aware of the dangers in society. "fear of walking the streets alone at night" It depends on where you live. If I'm in D

yeah, well, 9/11 still happened with people that didn't appear "normal". "The way to fight it is to alter the conditions. To do this we must understand why people hate America." We should bend over backwards to make the terrorists happy so
