Actually, given that it's a log of what you have read, I'm going to assume it is pronounced red-it.

Amen. I've actually read people explicitly state that entrepreneur's are "different" (with a definitely implied better) and that they should only associate with their own kind, or risk being brought down by the "normals." That shit pisses m

The funny thing is that Taubes book basically recommends you do away with those things anyway: who likes burgers without the bun? fries are out, shakes are out, tacos without the shell? no thanks, etc, etc. Where he differs, he has a lot mo

Honestly, you might just want to stick with the notes. The book is full of good information, don't get me wrong, but it's a tough read. It's dense and slow-going, but thorough. These notes contain everything you practically need to know, so

What do "they" do with the energy? Reproduce? Nothing? Do they die without it? The article leaves much unexplained.

Or maybe a daycare worker, taking care of someone else's children, instead of her own...? You think that taking care of and raising your child is inherently unproductive?

Good to see a study on this, but not surprising at all. Most of them think they are "better" than the masses, and don't have to follow the rules. "Life's a game and it's not fair. I break the rules so I don't care."

To you, perhaps. The bigger point is you're able to replace that functionality on Android.

so tricks taught at used car dealerships are the height of sales? I don't doubt you'd learn a lot, but if that's the best you can do, sales might deserve its reputation.

As bioweek said, I've wanted to try this for some time. If I could get past step 1 and 2, I'd be happy to do this. Also, could you give us more detail on your ongoing analysis process? I'm very interested.

Angel investing without connections probably won't work, anyway. Most people are looking for more than money.

You'd have been SCREAMING stock market at him? It went down to... 7k? So if he had invested in an index fund he'd have made 33%... another 8k? I don't think that qualifies as GRQ, but ok Note: not saying it's a bad idea, but he's asking fo

Really? With only 24k a month, and no real track record? YC works because you get Paul Graham and co, plus 5k a person... what's he going to get?

by Psyonic 17y ago
24k a month is near 300k a year... doing pretty damn well, if you can keep it up, but like you said, nowhere near very rich. The very rich get richer because, like Mark Cuban says, when they invest in a company, the CEO gives them a call a

Giles definitely gets posted on HN far too often, but ignoring that, checking your stats on affiliate programs is hardly an improvement. I know a guy who has to check his stats every hour, and it's just as debilitating as any social site. W

Doesn't work with firefox 3.5? It's recommending Safari to me, which I'd rather not use. Think 3.6 beta would work?

"I claim this piece of land for my own. Oh, look! There are people living on it already. I guess I get to enslave, rape, torture them." Actually, you can say EXACTLY that. The very idea of private property is founded on that principle. When

People comment on good lucks all the time, and it's largely inherited. You can work out, eat right, etc, but you can't change your bone structure (without surgery, at least).

Avoid being honest? And what does that have to do with his price point comment? You can be honest and still charge someone more than something costs... I'd say it's almost dishonest not to. It's called charging for your time/work,etc?

His defense that software patents are the same as all patents is a bit weak, I feel.

But if you pay $30 for it, you'll follow it... right? Since EVERYONE who has paid for diet books, camps, seminars, etc is skinny, right?

I do lose at least a bit of trust in anyone with affiliate links or ads, at least as far as their opinion of those products/companies are concerned. Who wants reviews of anything when the review is clouded by money? I'd much rather pay dire

This doesn't work as well as you might think, at least not for everyone. I've paid for programs, and still basically taken the same attitude towards them I would have had I got them for free. Granted, if everything I own was on the line, it
