This articles makes sense, but it's hard to step back and be so reflective without being victim of analysis paralysis. Many times, you build a toy, something you like, and it turns out big. If you over analyze it, you may not build it

She was a minor when she came over. She was just trying to survive and succeed and the laws made it difficult for her to do so. Up until the 1960s, blacks were not allowed basic rights and access to many thing, and doing so was considered &

He's not an illegal alien. In the article, he said that he has a greencard (he's probably naturalized by now). And commercial drones are used by many industries legally - film being one of them.

My answer was based on anecdotal evidence. Yes, having a supportive a spouse is key and a win for a mid 30s professional. I started my first business in my mid 30s so my peers are in this group. From that perspective, the average founder is

The biggest challenge I find with ex-corporate mid 30s folks is their inability to reduce their personal burn and lifestyle in order to survive the startup process to succeed. The question you're asking is the wrong one. It's not

It's often impossible to get metrics on what new features you should build since your users have not yet experienced them, and those that give you feedback are not necessarily the ones you should listen to. My experience is that you pu

What Mr. Chen claims as "discrimination" or non-net neutrality is not that at all. Net neutrality is not about making apps available for all platforms. On a side note, has anyone developed a BB app? Maybe he should start there fir

Yes they would. Tilapia fries would definitely eat mosquito larvae in the water. There were likely smaller species like guppies that would totally keep the mosquitos in check.

ROI is loosely all that. Outcomes (salaries, happiness, growth..etc) have many different metrics. I'm agreeing with what you're saying even though they may not be "ROI" to you. Counselors do go through a lot of the non-s

The US government has proposed a draft framework on ranking higher ed institutions based on Outcome. This gets closer to the ROI model for evaluating any program/college. http://www2.ed.gov/documents/college-afford

Despite the obvious flaws of comparing a coding "bootcamp" school to a 4 year higher ed institution, I think there is a very valid argument in thinking about ROI when picking degree choices. While not everyone can be coders, (if e

Variations between degree programs is bigger than variations between schools. It matters more what you major in vs what school you went to. For example, pretty much any CS degree from any school can get you a job. Whereas, even a degree fro

Successful people always attribute luck because they usually underestimate their own special qualities or don't acknowledge it. This is the reverse Dunning-Kruger. While non-so-successful people will attribute other's success as l

Colin - does that mean Clever is now more an App Store for schools? How relevant is the data APIs to SISes and the stuff that was initially Clever.

Lots of commenters are focusing on the high burn rate and missing the point of the article. If you have product market fit, high growth rates (20-30% MOM) and a large market (>$1B), you can rationalize burning that much. For the rest of

You become popular enough, you will attract all kinds of people to your platform/service. Including ones you may not want to be associated with. But this is great news for Teespring. Congrats to the team.

The article talks about long term compensation for entrepreneurs. You're in it for the big payout, to change the world, to build something better. He's not talking about SV working for your everyday salary men/women who wants

Do what you love. Balance is not quite possible. I work a lot. I probably spend an hour or so a day with my kids. But I love my work. They will understand. As for dealing with SO, if they are not on board or understand your passion then you

I doubt it. Blackboard is a full blown Learning Management System (LMS). This looks more like an Edmodo competitor -> pretty much like a Hangouts for Classrooms.

You are right if you're submitting your resume electronically or to a HR database. I doubt this resume was meant for that. Different formats for different uses.

I don't think your analogy is consistent with the site. There is nothing shocking, rude or inappropriate on the site. It's just different.

As someone who has seen lots of visual/interactive resumes and done research in this field (I created Vizualize.me, an infographic resume site), I thought this was well done. We can argue design wise about its merit, but the point is,
