Am I the only one who spends 16 hours in front of a computer (mostly) working 6 days a week, managing staff exclusively through email and oDesk, and loves it? Maybe it's because I view the entrepreneurship stage as the filling between

Facebook may be targeting more traditional big brand advertisers than it is small business advertisers (who need ads to convert to sales in a much tighter window). e.g., the Coca-Cola commercial you see on TV probably doesn't make a si

I've been using Stripe for just over a year now to take payments for a 6-figure-a-year business. We've had no reversals whatsoever. The only time Stripe has removed payments have been in the case of the occasional chargeback, whic

Part of the reason we’re at the top of the food chain is that we are chemically rewarded when we are industrious – it is evolutionarily advantageous to be productive. And we’re slowly and deviously being trained to forget this. Good artic

The bigger outrage in smart phones is the fact that Android exists in the first place - thanks to a little industrial espionage on Apple's board. [1] I know where my wallet voting's going. [1] http://www.forbes.com&#x2F

Much as I'd like to see some kind of "tidal wave of people doing this", purely in the interests of sending a message to somebody somewhere that data sniffing = not cool, I don't personally know anyone who's taken th

My guess is that these cases are dysfunctions with aspects of the growth / maturation process, rather than outright stoppage of aging. If you look up images of Nicky Freeman, the 40-year-old referenced in the article who "looks li

Perhaps we should have a separate section or tab on here for political news if it's very important to some people. I, for one, like HN because it doesn't have all the usual political news nonsense that mainstream news has. The p
