What exactly is an entrepreneur and is it possible to turn the switch off? I’ll answer the second question first: No. You can’t. You might drop the ball for a long time but you’ll die unsatisfied if you forever stop action towards building something. Now that we got that out of the way, what is an entrepreneur? My friend sent…

Who is Bad: Ashley Madison, the Hackers, or the Clients?
Answer: All three. Ashley Madison built their empire on the nasty foundation of encouraging the destruction of marriages, their clients took the bait like Adam and Eve, and the hackers trespassed. But Jesus died for all of them. What matters most in this story is the theme of internet security. This article covers most of the key points if you…
Ubuntu becomes IBM’s Go-To OS for Mainframes
