Having taken a class from Might in the Spring (not this one, but Programming Language Analysis), I can assure you that he is still very much interested in those topics. I can't really speak to this particular class, however.

Wget does exist for Windows, but your point still stands. Most people don't know what a browser is, it's just "the internet."

Note comment above (using adwords to churn with 0% margin, but winning the contest for the $100k). Profit might be a better indicator, but obviously much harder to measure.

Pretty good idea. To go full circle, the info product should be "How to Win the $100k shopify contest!"

Yes, but that was smaller/smaller. This is bigger/bigger, so it's not necessarily proof that it would be allowed.

Even if that was the case, people want things as cheap as they can get them, so even if they CAN vote with their dollars, they won't do it at an unnecessary cost to themselves.

Your mentor really put your health above your relationship with God? I take it Job went about things the wrong way?

No way to vote for things you like more than others. Will degrade into a least common denominator system quickly.

Exactly our point. He's going to great lengths to avoid any debt, which in this society is a bit masochistic. A little debt for your future isn't going to kill you.

Love your wife and your children. Help out a friend. Clear your elderly neighbor's driveway in the winter. Sure, the effect is tiny, but you've got to start somewhere.

No, I didn't mean that at all. Loans exist for a reason. If he wants to be ultra-frugal, that's fine, but it's not necessary. Do you really believe taking a loan out for something as important as school is that terrible?

You're being downvoted, but I think you bring up an interesting contrarian position that I'm surprised so many here disagree with. Couldn't he be working on a startup, instead of living off rice in an ant-filled van?

No doubt he'll cite "The Game." It's the new bible, don't you know?

Good links, and I'm not at all surprised that you've put a lot of thought into it. Of all the writers that appear here on a regular basis, you have the highest signal/bullshit ratio I've seen. When you say you're giving back, I believe yo

Article is from 2005, and while I don't claim to be an expert, I've never heard of their new tequila Corazón. Maybe not as simple as they say.
