    As a kid, I watched Kelly's Heroes whenever it was on TV and loved him in it. It was a joy to see him in so many movies throughout the years. He always elevated everything he was i…

    Perhaps in your area that is happening, but not in mine (NJ). 70% fee is outrageous. 20% would even be difficult to swallow. But there are grocery chains that do the right thing. A…

    This happened to me around 35 as well. It's important to recognize that you're still young in the grand scheme of things. A lot of the other comments recommend making friends, havi…

    That's the must well spoken summary of this issue I've seen to date.

    We interviewed a lot candidates this way and yes all of them were employed full-time. None of the candidates we interviewed worked directly in our specific industry, so as long as …

    Well we didn't market it like that and while technically it is consulting for a period of time, it doesn't have to feel that way. The interview process was similar to any other com…

    We did this at the last startup I founded. While it can be difficult on the paperwork side, it's nothing short of amazing. It helped us find high quality fits for the team AND we a…

    I'd guess his friends bragged about their trades to someone who disclosed it directly or indirectly to the authorities.

    Agreed. I'd also add that other car manufacturers have made tradeoffs on safety issues for decades. So I wonder if it's more about Telsa capitalizing on the hype of self driving ca…

    Many of those frustrations are with people or processes put in place that one can't change. It's why many of us try to rise up the ladder to get some level of "control" in a compan…

    That's great. That's not an easy life (speaking from experience), but certainly can be gratifying. I wish you much success, good luck!

    That's a great point. I guess people are really just looking to play the status game by showing up first.

    For me, it’s also about building something that will last longer than a few years. Seeing something physically taking shape and the pride of your craftsmanship after it is complete…

    It’s hard not to appreciate the cost savings, saved lives, and benefits employees and employers would see from universal healthcare. Has anyone seen any studies on the potential im…

    I think you’re missing the point of what consumers find valuable about Tesla cars. It’s not the body or fancy interiors. The tech is what people want and because of that, cosmetic …

    Agreed. Showing a teenager how much they will make with the career their interested in and then figuring out how much they might afford in student loans is pretty easy to roughly e…

    Took a lot of courage to share that story I'm sure. Thank you. I wish you and your son the best of luck. I hope you're reunited soon.

    For many, it helps build followers and get lots of likes. I’m not sure that was the author’s intention.

    I suppose it could. I guess one would need to look down deep to understand what would make them most happy in the end. Taking the risk of running a business should be part of that …

    The largest problem developers have with bootstrapping a project is that they focus way too much on building vs solving a customer pain point. This leads to bloated MVPs and little…
