I understand that the court offered to allow an explanation for the "NO LIMIT" response, but that is not where I was going with the lack of explicitness with the "NO LIMIT" response. What is troubling about it is that contracts can be alter

I do find it slightly troubling that a single utterance of "NO LIMIT" is enough to alter a contract. "NO LIMIT" is not very explicit in what it refers to. A contract signed and in place was able to be refined without additional signatures n

Be careful not to confuse wisdom with genius. As a teenager, I picked up a lot of important anecdotes and slices of wisdom from a friend's father who was just a mailman. That said, I don't expect to consult him on any topic of importance to

I had a hard time reading this and I suspect I'm not the only one. What particularly struck a nerve with me was the absolutely out of left field mention of Columbine as if it somehow amplifies the impact of public schools being bad (paraphr

Ok, so I was predominantly future thinking style (as probably most of HN). But the biggest error I see that it suggest I am inclined toward spontaneity and impulsiveness. I can see where this comes from - I marked that I do not methodically

Flagging this and I (publicly) invite everyone to do the same. Anonymously bashing someone with your only real argument being that he is arrogant is ridiculous. You have zero credibility and for all we know you are bitter for not getting se

Before you start trying to get your friends to learn how to program, make sure they are interested in it first. I know several people that got into programming, hated it, but stayed involved anyway solely for the money -- They rarely like t

I think you've missed the point. The topic outlines the person in question is interviewing for a coding job. If you come into an office looking for a coding job, but have never attempted to program before, you have not shown any level of co

For friends and family? I do any favor they ask for. I am not so self-righteous that I refuse my friends/family favors.

It does seem like a strange design choice, as it would if you used anything other than jQuery. jQuery is the standard in terms of javascript frameworks. Knowing this, why build something in a non-typical framework?

1) This is a giant wall of text that I don't want to read. 2) First item under work experience "Summer Intern, Senior Technician"... This sounds like you were interning as a senior technician. Not believable. It wasn't until I saw you worke

Are you American? There may be a cultural gap somewhere. When women (or couples) are having a baby, they have a baby shower. This is a get together to celebrate and typically the party-goers bring a gift for the parents-to-be and their baby

Agree that profit margins can be very thin, but in this case the Fiero guy is probably doing pretty well. If the Fiero parts guy is primarily selling to end users (which it looks like he does), his profit is probably closer to 33% per item.

Now that you've built in the live editor, there are just a few more steps that I would do. 1: Create a free option. 1 page, include email optin, limited to 2-500 views/month 2: If you're not hosting these pages and allowing them to be calle

I think before you start to focus on a pro version, you should get this version ready for attracting an audience. Your home page is way too cluttered. I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go, I have no idea what the random text bo

Your not wanting to get ripped off (hiring a questionable employee) perfectly demonstrates the problem posed in the original question. Salary negotiation is inherently adversarial. It will remain that way until employers start offering pote

Groupon also takes ~50% of the total selling price. So you are really looking at 250 yen; Around half the break-even point by your estimates.

There is way too much stuff on the Tour and Features page. Features is especially bad. I think it is great to have that kind of indepth information, but probably on a deeper page. A prominent link from the homepage should give a higher leve

I'd be interested in being able to select adding it to my instant play queue or my regular queue. Or even better would be setting my instant queue as the default, but if it's not available for streaming, adding it to my regular queue.

I can't believe Marissa Mayer is getting any hate here. She talked at Stanford and her genius was evident. She is intimidatingly smart and has business sense most people can only dream of. The fact that she has been doing it for 11 years

Interesting idea, the first thing that jumped out at me was that you might want to consider making a page that US users redirect to. In your sample, you have the date listed as 31-7-1965. This is not how Americans display dates. Americans u

If your entire business model is such that you can basically force people to use affiliate links, it isn't too bad. Assuming 1000 piggy banks at $10/week allowance puts your monthly take at 40k. Virtually all of that money eventually gets s

Great idea, can't praise it enough. I'm wondering if you would actually make more money by only having free accounts. You already stand to make a ton of money from affiliate commissions AND heavy cash on hand. The value of a customer is way

I think you're definitely over-thinking this. The average user doesn't record all the time so they would be missing all kinds of great video opportunities. With your software, they're still not recording all the time but now they don't mi

I'll take the bet, though it ultimately proves nothing. Just because you learn whatever proper technique is needed (if any) for vertical jump and can kind of emulate it the same day does not mean you've realized long term gains. It only mea
