The advice is really good for someone who wants to sell stuff. I kind of do comparable things without wanting to sell anything. I just like to hear what people are working on and what there plans are so I can stay in the loop of new develop

Yeah, this distinction is important. Recently in Germany this report made the news how nearly a quarter of professional football players are broke at the end of their careers. Considering that these are all people who make a lot of money I

I did hit the "Report" button. Let me know if you did not get the report or if it is useless and you need further testing.

I can confirm this first hand. Two pickpockets tried to get my stuff in Barcelona. One had his hand in my left pocket with my cell phone, the other one in the right pocket with my wallet and passport. Sorry, folks, but my jeans pockets are

This is pretty amazing because just yesterday I was wondering if such a site exists. I am always trying to find more adventures wherever I go. Too bad that the Android app crashes on my MyTouch 4G when "Loading Challenges". Is there any way

Since that website is for scheduling tweets, I have to assume that the post is serious, but if I followed anybody who tweets every 30 to 60 minutes I would immediately unfollow him for polluting my timeline. Now, if the tweets do not show u

When I was a TA in college I gave similar advice to my students: If you are the best person in your study group, you are in the wrong study group. Now, the problem is, on a purely meritocratic level, the better study groups do not want to h

I used to think like him in the past. But these days I am already so occupied with executing on things at my job and in my free time that I thank the high heavens every time I realize someone else has executed on "my" idea. Every time this

The one product I was mostly involved in needed to be rewritten because it was the result of a quick proof of concept hack that kept growing because people actually bought it. There was literally no separation between GUI, model, or DB back

I used to work for a startup that rewrote its products all the time. It was a huge mess with all the consequences outlines in the article. The problem was not the rewriting itself but the lack of understanding how things went wrong the firs

I always resented traveling to the US too because of border controls. Recently I moved to the US and felt relieved that I do not have to go through immigration there anymore. Seconds after that thought I had the epiphany that I now have to

Thank you for information. Yeah, I was considering that you might be working hard on scaling these days. The site seems to work mostly well, so you seem to be doing a good job there. Thank you very much for the email you sent me too.

I have been using Crowdbooster since last November (no serious reason, just felt like betatesting another YC startup) and until like two days ago when they improved their graphs a bit I honestly thought they are dead. In the last four month

Back in November 2009 I was on vacation in San Francisco and decided to drop by the Google campus in Mountain View to visit some friends. Of all the things they showed me there, Mondrian (of which Rietveld is a fork of) impressed me the mos

Congrats. This is an awesome idea, simply because it takes people's laziness out of the equation. It's kinda like that popular financial 'pay yourself first'/'automate your finances' set it and forget it mantra but applied to charity.

I just moved from Germany to the US and my US visa expires after one year. Having no idea in what country I will end up next, things like a 401k or any other country-specific investment form makes no sense to me. As such I have already give

I used to work for a startup (employee) and I was wondering the same all the time. One of the perks of working at this company that you were allowed to speak at as many conferences as you wanted to and everybody who worked there made good u

This is so true. I have a friend, fresh out of college with a Masters degree in CS from a German university, who has been unemployed for about a year now and in that time he has sent out maybe 10 to 15 applications. I carefully try to nudge
