Hi brother - just know you have intrinsic worth beyond what the world sees (or what you think the world sees). You have overcome lots of challenges in life to even get to your 40's; no one escapes challenges. Might I recommend an outwa

I appreciate the thoughtfulness and introspection in your question. I have found that different types of activities bring me joy/energy/fulfillment, and others do not. Identifying which activities do this for me took a few years o

Huge Zapier fan and user here. In fact I wrote an article on LinkedIn a while back about how many heads I think their product is saving us. And we have our own developers - there are just so many instances where using a service like this sa

Helped form these at my former company, so I'm biased. But the memorability and thoughtful definitions really helped these stick (to this day): https://www.entrata.com/company/values

Just want to say your Connect product is INCREDIBLE. Our company couldn't function (at least not well and at scale) without it!

I've had a similar approach for the past few months, but with some changes: - I have my wife manage restrictions; only she knows the passcode - I have Safari set to only a whitelist. This means when friends send me a link, I've go

Don't forget taxes will take a large chunk of any payout away. Sometimes as much as 50% when you factor in state taxes.

"The Advantage" by Patrick Lencioni is also a great read on this topic of Organizational Health and how much it matters.

46% of apartment traffic is now mobile as well. I work for a company that hosts 10,000+ apartment websites and pulled the google Analytics that we aggregate across all of them.

I lived in Mongolia for two years as a missionary and taught ESL at schools every day. The schools systems there are what you would expect from a 3rd world country but it never ceased to amaze me how many bright, gifted Mongolians that had

I lived in Sukhbaatar in Mongolia for a year and though the summers were great. Winter, on the other hand, freezes the condensation on your eye lashes so that when you blink you can't open your eyes without effort.

A wonderful book that is similar in concept to this post is "Leadership and Self-Deception". I think the first part of the book: "Self-deception and the Box" is what Derek is describing here and he's working on getting out of the box.

Be aware that you will burn some customers and lose them. Customer feedback is a scarce resource that you can burn up before converting it to an asset.

Glad someone posted this. The comments on this post should probably get turned off though as the results in and of themselves are what is really compelling here. Commets will just lead to arguments.

Process is not a replacement for thinking. It's a tool to be used as enabling repetitive tasks to be higher quality and allowing the doer to focus on higher thought.

This smells like a resume to apple from someone wanting to be hired. I can't fault that, but using link bait initially to score high on HN, getting on Apple's radar makes me feel used.

This comes from misunderstanding The Lean Startup.

This looks like a good solution if you have limited wallet space like in the twelve-south book book case for iPhone.

Why the references to legislation? The free market can fix this IF the Craigslist experience really is bad. You might not be able to grow organically like Craigslist did but it is totally possible. Pay listers to post on your site. Offer so

I cannot up vote this enough. Value creation is key. One new theory I've been exploring lately is that, while people can value good and bad things (moral and immoral, sustaining and destructive, etc), the creator of value has a responsibili

You don't need to regulate banks if you prove to them you are not going to bail them out when they are too loose in their lending practices. They'll go out of business or tighten their lending standards. The real problem here is banks the w

I think you're right about home automation. There is also potential for home analytics/intelligence as well. For example, water sub-meters on each water faucet could help conscientious water users conserve.
