Wise advice. I have a hard time insisting on certain things but I will need to work on that. I know successful folks are insistent and never accept no.

That sounds like a successful path to growing healthy companies. I'd like to be in your 'business shoes'.

Sounds like you had a great experience. Thank you for sharing your story. You mentioned you declined 3 of the 6 offers but did you end up accepting one?

This is absolutely the truth. I know folks that make 6 figures yearly and still cannot convince themselves to pay $4000-$5000/month for a 2 bedroom.

You've just described why I want to live in a low population area. Thank you.

This comes down to having freedom and experiencing life on 'a ranch and 20 acres'. If you've never experienced life in such a way, it is almost impossible to understand why people live this way. I for one love having my own washroom and bed

Any reason why you would even consider selling exploits? Do you not get compensated well from other ventures?

I know there is no point in continuing this useless debate but I wanted to bring to light that if it was financially feasible and I had 6 children, a mansion might actually be USEFUL.

The above is in addition to the "independence" baked into the American culture about the open road and the automobile. Do you think there is something inherently wrong with the feeling of independence and happiness attained from the car

To extrapolate this, people have taken advantage of other peoples' weaknesses. Gambling, drug addictions, suicidal thoughts...everyone has a weakness that can be exploited. I reiterate your statement; exploiting that vulnerability IS to bla

Thanks for these great suggestions. What do you think about slow cookers destroying vital nutrients? This is the only thing keeping me from buying one. I read some more serious research a while back but a quick search on Google got these 2

This is great for the Greater Toronto Area in general. I can hardly wait until I return to Toronto from the Bay Area to try and bring back some of this startup culture. There are a lot of bright people in the GTA that are lacking the motiva

The only way to get people to forget about Dotcom and his antics is to just ignore stories about him. I personally feel that he has been too successful at using the media to make himself out to be innocent and revolutionary.

I tend to feel the same way about him and the state of his life at the moment. I am very grateful for the inventions he brought forth and his work on AI but I think his current goals in life are unreasonable and of course, related to the de

It's interesting to see people put their studies on hold to pursue something they loved. I don't quite understand why they moved to San Francisco; the article didn't really make that clear. I'd love to have a cup of coffee with either of th

Keep posting on HN and I will be satisfied. I personally don't think you can hear the same with music playing near your ear, that's all. Like other posters have stated, it's better to be alert and safe rather than trying to listen to your t

Only time will prove how easily you can hear through your headphones...I only wish you the best, which is why I recommend you take them out.

The problem is that the headphones are extremely close to your ear drum. Depending on the volume, you are more or less tuning out the environment completely when playing any kind of music through headphones. Sometimes people will yell at yo

You know what? They're not causing harm and they're helping these patients be in a safe environment so that they do not hurt themselves or others. I don't find this sad at all, I find it innovating. This is actually a great 'hack' that seem

Interestingly this happens with a certain group of friends as well. They are high-school educated people that have no intention of attending a post-secondary institution. As a corollary, another group of friends that have attended a post-se

I managed to make it to CUSEC 2011 but not 2012. Looks like I missed some really great presentations. It's unfortunate when this conference is in another province.

I'm not sure I understand how they are measuring quality in these sperm. The article mentions that they are now rejecting 80% of their candidates based on the simple fact that their sperm is not up to the same standards they set years ago.

Is it just me or is the recent surge of DataNitro scripts just proof of concepts? I don't really want to do get Facebook Likes in Excel or play Blackjack. They added a Python handler in Excel to do this, it isn't native. My question is, why
