Not the point of the article, but is anyone else annoyed by these "entrepreneur-sounding" ideas? I'm so sick of low-tech, solve-first-world-problem ideas and conflating that with entrepreneurship. If I were the VC, I'd t

Logical advice, good post. One nitpick: >I’m not sure how easy this skill is to develop, and I’d argue it’s almost certainly harder to develop than technical ability. Perhaps where technical ability is narrowly defined as general web dev

Throwing this out there - but given your experience, why not remain an entrepreneur and try raising money for another business? Something tells me you'd have a much easier time than first-time entrepreneurs. Assuming of course your wif

Are there videos of actual first-person (recorded by camera) demos? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the video was all graphic editing and thus not representative of the device itself. If I were to shell out $3K I'd want to s

Anyone find it lame how people are tweeting about an incident instead of communicating with each other when they're like 10 feet away? Don't expect to reason with protesters if you're not even willing to talk to them. Way to

Relating to entrepreneurship, the ambiguity effect seems particularly dangerous. There is no such thing as having perfect information. In fact, the more you know, the less opportunity and upside you can have in a venture. Why? Because the u

I feel so behind / left-out of the Bitcoin phenomenon. I thought it was a fad a few years ago, but it seems as though it's here to stay and there are probably good opportunities for those who understand how it all works. I was wro

Did the author just write an essay saying "you're doing it wrong" over and over without saying why ? I was reading for the why and got nothing. I think that would've been infinitely more valuable as a post.

Another perspective: this need not be a binary 1/0 decision. At my school it's common to take a year off school to work and gain some real-world experience. I did after my third year of engineering and I'm very glad for havin

As much as I'd like to agree, Twitter is about to IPO. So empirical real-world data suggests otherwise, that it's not a fad, and just because I don't get it doesn't mean that others don't derive enough value from it

Here's my perspective as both a user and developer. Most paid apps there are the equivalent of small side projects. They're simple things that should exist, and after enough time, someone will make them for free. The ones that are

Yes it's not obvious to me how to impart knowledge in a SRS format that's more than fact recall. I was thinking of starting with thermodynamics because it's one of the more straight-forward equation courses - but then how do
