The HN title is misleading. From the site: What you’re watching above is the first few sections of the course. You have to be a paid member to get access to the FULL course.

For my area it's the same types of deals - stores, restaurants and services. It's either restaurants at 50% off or nail salons, lawn services, maid services, painters, etc. How many of those do you need? If you bought the deal from the pain

Does Skype route other people's calls through your system or transfer data off your computer to provide service to other customers? The Spotify model is very different than Skype. Edit: I had no idea Skype worked like that as well. And I ha

It was fun until someone joins your game and sabotages is by stacking blocks straight to the top. It happened in all the games I played. Nice app though.

Without the context the quote seems very egotistical. With the context I think it makes perfect sense. Your comment draws a completely different picture. I can’t juggle. I definitely can’t juggle multiple clients and serve them well on the

"...dressing well but babbling like a retard." Rewritten: "...dressing well but babbling on without end." Looking good but speaking poorly is the message he's trying to get across, not being mentally challenged.

Babbling isn't the issue - retard is. I don't think anyone likes being called a slur or derogatory term. The Christian aspect is just referring to treating others the way you would wish to be treated. It's pretty simple, no deep religious c

Let's think about it this way. AT&T is now charging $2 a month to have landline service. They will waive the fee for customers who use more than $2 a month in long distance charges. It's not a customer friendly policy, as it just serves

While I disagree with why these are on your negative list - “branding”, “beautiful”, “passion”, “making a difference”, “modern”, “clean”. "Making a difference" can read pretty darn close to "Return on investment", etc. I actually stopped re

Don’t spend much time building any of these projects. Get the to minimum list of requirements you’d like each site to have and move onto the next one. Do them over the weekend and don’t let them stagnate for too long. I would revise this:

I've never experienced or read about ADD/ADHD medication having the effect of dumbing down anyone. Normally the medications for ADD fall into the stimulant categories which on the ADD mind have the effect of slowing down thought to allow it

You're right, there is a difference between not being able to maintain focus and getting bored easily. Though that is often difficult to discern when you're in the middle of dealing with it. I'm also a motivated self-teacher, but ADD gets i

Oh yeah - and I forgot to mention state health exchanges coming in 2014. One question I'm really curious about - how do you plan to make money? Are you going to try to achieve agent/broker status? Sell ads to different insurers? Or just wai

Banks have spreadsheet level account information - debits, credits, categories and labels. Not a very broad set of information to parse. Most banks offered several common formats for this data and it was readily available online - albeit wi

I believe the analysis of item #3 is incorrect. The explanation of not actually owning the product, while correct, is not the rationale for this section of the document. Can anyone with legal knowledge back me up on this? 3. Licensing: Th

You work on all types of projects so you can test out the world and see where you fit. Add in liberal arts to the project-centric professional, vocational and technical approaches and that could be a very balanced and exploratory approach.

So first, I don't get the analogy of Sequoia as a friend in this scenario. Especially when the project house is a data mining application. Second, I found it difficult to enjoy the ride when the product, as released, was buggy and difficult

We have a vested interest in their product because we were supposed to be it's users. Our optimism has been replaced with pessimism when they were honest about what their product does and why they created it(data mining). We're not mean spi

It's been clear from the first article about Color that the investment was not about a photo sharing application, but about the underlying technology. The recent information that they are applying for six patents supports this.

First, the domain of knowledge to create a photo sharing app is far different than the domain of knowledge required to compete with Google over self-driving cars or solar energy systems to power homes across the country . Both of those e
