I'm interested in a bit more about your choices with respect to the implementation of project. Is it a CMS? Wordpress? Did you code it yourself? Flat HTML? Is there anything dynamic about it or did you just put a bunch of stuff up on a

"Hipster" is the word that came to my mind. "Too cool for the internet" Oh well. I like them.

I thought his question was perfectly legitimate and interesting. I look for people like me who've succeeded for inspiration and ideas. The black experience in the United States is likely quite different than the white one. Ever watched a Ty

Maybe there's an economic barrier to that realization? Adults who realize the power of programming were likely children with access to a computer growing up. In Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" he tells the story of Bill Gates and Bill Joy - t

Indeed. I'd imagine that the image of the tweet on Reddit was seen by someone at NYT then created with the hopes of pulling viewers because it was clearly a hot button topic. The opposite of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Journalists look to

As an experiment, I thought I'd block FoxNews from my results to see if it would stop coming up in my "google news" aggregator. Sadly, it does not. Would have been neat though.

To be fair, I think he's a fake guy. Look at the start of the "article" it has all the weasel words that you'd expect to see in a dodgy email forward. "I once heard a story of a an unnamed manager at an unnamed company who..." Go to Snopes

Hmm... and when they check your credentials? I'm not sure it's as easy as getting around the age-verification on porn sites (are you 18? yes / no) Maybe there are investment conglomerates out there - or group buy in / mutual clubs where I

I can't recommend niches for a number of reasons. Firstly, I strongly believe that all of the niches you can find make money. Seriously, you see the same ones on every affiliate site and if they didn't work, they wouldn't keep putting them

Sadly, it seems to use their interface you've got to be Accredited. (I've logged in and tried) So I can't actually buy stock in their system. It's not quite as easy as popping on and plunking in a credit card number. Not that shares are lik

Adzoogle, Neverblue - but they'll deny your application if you don't have serious publishing experience. I'm making an assumption that if you don't even know their names you're not going to have enough experience to get approved. Your best
