I'm not saying you'll be dead in 5 years time if you spend more than 12 hours a day sitting on a chair programming. But it adds up if you're doing that your whole lifetime and neglect healthy food and physical activity. Of course it differs from person to person but I think you see my point.
Regarding stress free comment... I guess it depends on the person in question. Besides, when you finish for the day, you really finish for the day and that's the most important thing. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.
Smart people will put health before entrepreneurship, especially if it prolongs their life and not just in the sense how many years will they have to life.
Strangely enough, this idea has gone through my mind a couple of times, for a completely different reasons though.
Mortality is closely connected with the hours we spend sitting each day. So that's one reason.
The other one is that after working so hard and saving up enough for the rest of your life, you need something that is much more stress-free. And selling something so basic as food is exactly that.
I also run a pretty tight ship on Facebook. Only closest friends and family (13 people in total), visibility to friends only and such things.
Father created Facebook account a week ago to keep up with our favourite sports team. I sent him a friend request but he managed to hide it and didn't find it later. Yesterday he received an email saying something in this style: Do you know these people? A list with 13 people was underneath it and these 13 people were my friends.
Thankfully he knows most of them so it didn't get awkward but still a massive, massive worry for me.
I'll give you a little advice that's been working wonderfully for me so far - don't ever post something that is politically/ethnically/whatever questionable and you'll be fine. Even better than that, it'll play in your favour.
The test might be perfectly adequate to decide whether you should do a PhD.
However, I can't stop thinking that tests where the outcome is based on Mostly A's (or B's or C's or ...) are designed for pre-teen pupils deciding whether they should break up with their this-week boyfriend or have a chocolate or vanilla ice cream.
I have two questions for which I couldn't find the answer:
1 - Will these companies provide data from all users or only US citizens?
2 - Who has access to the data? Only people working on this program at US intelligence or a wider set of people? For instance, can they look up my emails, photos and so on if I am about to be interview for high profile government job?
I was done with Facebook when they introduced that the content from a page you 'Like' doesn't necessarily appear on your timeline. That was a deal breaker for me and many others.
You 'Like' something/someone for one simple reason. You feel that page is interesting to you and you want updates. If you don't want updates from something you like, you write it down in a notebook.
Gone are the days when Facebook was an obsession. People tend to expect more and more from the service (even though it's free) they use but Facebook went in the exact opposite direction - they gave back less of what we want and more of what we don't.
I see more and more companies exclusively on Twitter which is great. Twitter's a great platform for business while I always had this sense that Facebook is more suitable for individuals.
After a week/month/year/half a decade you realise it's taking up a larger percentage of your than you'd like and you make cuts.
I have kept my Facebook account open but I can't remember when was the last time I checked it out of interest. If someone messages me or write on my wall, I get a (non-push) notification on my mobile or email (in the mailbox Newsletters which I check/clean at the end of the week). But that's it, Facebook is (almost) a past for me, just like Myspace.
