    I don't know how the internet could easily transition out of this mess, but I think it would probably be good to eventually get rid of as many TLDs other than .com as possible. Doe…

    Speaking multiple languages is a great thing, but if you already speak English, maybe you ought to consider if its worth your time if you don't have a clear goal in mind. Do you wa…

    * It goes without saying that a request for access to personal data like this is something that nobody should ever comply with. * Asking somebody for access to their email/social n…

    This product you're shilling may or may not end up being some cool addicting thing. But asking for email addresses without explaining what the site is about is really lame and is a…

    Wanting to change the world is a great thing. If you're already profitable, you're in a great position. But please don't dismiss somebody for being a bit focused on how your busine…

    Devoting such a significant percentage of your time and resources to what likely amounts to less than 1% of your users doesn't sound like a wise business decision in most circumsta…

    It really depends on what you're interested in because there are a ton of neat things to check out in NYC, but often the most interesting and entertaining one is the Web Performanc…

    I'm not suggesting you use Drupal without a good reason, but if you're worrying about hypothetical scaling concerns before you've ever even touched PHP or Rails in your life, you'r…

    I'm surprised that a community of internet entrepreneurs is so disinterested in advertising considering how many of your own sites are dependent on it. I actually like looking at a…

    In what is ostensibly an effort to prevent exploitation, the government has legally created a situation where an internship is almost completely worthless to the intern. Whether or…
