Instead of a direct clone you should try to find your own "twist" on the idea. That way you can still get buzz and be seen as a competitor and not just a knock-off. Finding a good twist is the hard part though. Also, remember that

I have a site with 2k recurring revenue(16 percent profit margins) but it requires support and marketing time(5-10 hours per week). What kind of multiple is normal for something like this?

I'd also like to know this. I'm fascinated by their business model and I see them popping up all over.

I think there is a disconnect between your values and many on HN when it comes to the right of free speech. You see "harm from bad speech" as a major problem in society so you naturally seek to correct it with the strongest tools

Bullies are normally very insecure themselves which is why they shine the spotlight on others. Speaking as a former bully.

You can't create the amount of money you are talking about without severe economic consequences. That should be obvious.

Where does all this "equalizing" money come from? Does it just pop into existence because you want it to?

Just curious, what tech stack do you use?

I really enjoyed your framing of some common issues. Most people don't think there are actually two sides to any political argument and spend the majority of their time laughing at strawmen rather than learning about someone else'

Just curious: Did you scrape the initial dataset or did it come from personal research when looking for an investment?

He has been consistently posting in-depth articles about his code base and business for years. People like him and his wacky business the same way we like Levels.

Random googling turns up 87 colleges that have residency requirements[1]. So you're right that it isn't "most" but it is also not super rare. I'm just saying its a sneaky way for colleges to bump up costs. Most coll

And then with 10-15k for overpriced student housing since most colleges make mandatory for Freshmen and sometimes even Sophomores. Then you might have to pay 1k a year to pay for a parking spot. 2-5k for cafeteria access. Add it all up and

What is parallel-work? Would that be hanging out with friends while you all work remote jobs? That sounds like a very interesting setup.

Then we'll just move to the artificially cheap consumer good from Africa (subsidized by Chinese investment). And the cycle will go round and round!

I think this offers the best explanation for such an unsustainable pricing option. Thanks for the info

$30-$40 makes much more sense. I was just baffled by the $10 per month price point advertised in the article.

I hadn't thought about the lowered prices from non-peak times. Thats a good point. It just seems like the people who would want to pay for a subscription to the movies are inherently people who go multiple times a month. Even a $6 mati

Thats how the theaters make money but I'm talking about how MoviePass is making their money since they are paying the cost of the ticket.

This model introduces disincentives to building value since they don't actually want their subscribers USING the service. They just want them paying for it and forgetting about it like a gym membership. Also at $10 a month wouldn'

I think this is an amazing idea! I played with Basic and Visual Basic when I was younger and it taught me all about logic loops, basic data structures, etc. Putting that type of playground on the web sounds interesting. Have you started yet

We thought about LeapMotion but went with a CV implementation instead. Very cool project!

My friends and I worked on this problem for a hackathon and even managed to get 3 letters that could be recognized! The judges were unimpressed and the win went to a group that copied a project off of instructables.com :)

what is the one for low cost Amazon items? I've been thinking about starting a daily store of weird items but this seems like a good idea also. Like sub $20 gift ideas/wacky items

Good point. I guess i just anthropomorphized the pile of hotdogs the wrong(mirrored) way compared to the researchers.
