I recently read Ray Dalio's (founder of Bridgewater) principles - http://www.bwater.com/Uploads/FileManager/Principles/Bridgew... It is very interesting in how he is focusing on "reaching goals" instead of "looking good" or "looking stupi

Google+ has the same buzz and expectation which was associated with gmail when it was first launched (with respect to scarcity of invites). I am based in India (not sure how location matters) and I remember I had to wait a few weeks for som

Imagine liquidity as tank full of fuel in your car. The possibilities of going with a full tank are endless. More fuel than tank's holding capacity is pretty much useless.

Sorry, but I don't get the point of this application. All this can be done by sending a simple email to the webmaster of the site.

Interesting, the reason of dis-agreeing with something might be influenced by what is the state of mind at that moment. I wonder how many comments and articles are down voted because of this reason. To avoid such things from happening as pa

I think one of the earliest questions to ask is whether would you, the builder, use it yourself and secondly, whether you would pay for it. If both answers are yes, then that is a start. Build a simple workable prototype (without too much e

This sure sounds more serious than those "Hormone Imbalances" that we have been hearing. My dad suffered a long time because of Liver Cirrhosis before meeting his end last year. I know first hand how painful liver related problems can get.

I had thought about the very high noise level. My argument is at a given place / time, if atleast one guy is "good" (obviously the immediate question arises is "which one"), it would be sufficient to escalate a "real situation" and supress

With tens and hundreds of emails in the INBOX, going forward, how much would email contribute to the virality of the application? Can SMS work out to be an interesting alternative? SMS is guaranteed to be delivered, there is no SPAM filter

Let this deal go. The company, I was working earlier, had a habit of signing on every customer that knocked their door. In the long run, it created a lot of problems to support those customers (at a very low margin or at a loss), just to ma
