Semi-fast once a week. Much easier than trying to calculate your calorie count each and every meal. I skip dinner and breakfast the next morning, so I'm without food for 24 hours.

I prefer baby powder to deodorant. Deodorant clogs your pores while baby (talcum) powder soaks up moisture. Much cheaper too!

Interesting that he's going to a financial technology consulting firm whose products include algorithmic trading. It seems like that would be one of the last spaces to be interested in a dynamic scripting language versus pure speed.

Good point. I'm starting to convert my website from webforms into MVC and it's going to make a huge difference in terms of manageability.

The problem with just one idea is that the success of that idea is also subject to external factors beyond your control (ie competition). Thus diversifying with multiple ideas, similar to in a stock portfolio, allows these externalities to

Nice to hear a VC admit that: Market > Execution Vision > Product This reminds me of Marc Andressen's post "The only thing that matters": http://web.archive.org/web/20071011023653/blog.pmarca.com/20...

You probably developed immunity to the most common viruses after having exposure to them earlier on. The same thing happened with me after growing up in the Midwest winters.

One thing that surprised me is that most hackers here work out physically regularly. I do as well, and I also find post-workout protein drinks are essential. I tried not using them for 2 weeks and found the lack of them rendered my workouts

Neither deflation nor inflation are a problem. Instead it is the speed at which they occur. Having prices move to their natural supply/demand equilibrium is a good thing. The problem is if they move too slowly. For example, if I believe a h

Good way to speed up product development - break down the problem you are trying to solve into smaller pieces, and choose just one of the pieces. This is the reason my software is taking months to finish instead of weeks.

The problem is how he defines 'smart'. If you assume smart means you know more than an average person, it means you know a superset of the data/facts they know, and thus you gain nothing by asking them something. However, if you assume smar

Nice quote from one of the links' links, from NY Times: But as these new techniques proliferate, some worry that promotion is outpacing reality. These techniques may be better for marketing than stock picking.

To paraphrase, there is a low correlation with people who create value (scientists, engineers) to people who reap its benefits, due to a large time lag (although that may not be the case regarding information technology). And in Western cou

I also find that certain locations are more likely to give me better ideas than others. I get good creative ideas staring out the window, taking naps, or taking a shower; definitely away from the computer.

I also write down the ideas I have, because crazy ideas are easily forgotten. I think they're generated by temporary surprise connections made by the brain.

I would just do something they can't do and at some point, I'll be able to get a higher salary or start something on my own. Otherwise, you're in the wrong field.

Just do both. Being an entrepreneur and employee do not have to be mutually exclusive. You can simply work on creating prototypes of new product ideas in your free time. If I had a buddy doing that, I would still love talking with him to pi
