I'm not gonna pretend to guess what the possibilities will be. But when computers went to costing just a few hundred dollars and fitting in your pocket, there was an explosion of startups and ideas that no one could've dreamt of a

You're 800% more likely to get robbed in Colma than in the average US city (based on per capita crime stats). I always found that as the fun fact nobody mentions about Colma. It's usually just graveyard talk.

OpenHunt tried solving a problem for the content makers without providing any additional benefit to the content consumers. It's a nice, heart-warming mission. But in the end of the day, content is king, that's what consumers want.

Haven't been keeping up to date with the developments lately. Does anyone know what's the status on master-master replication? That's the one feature I need before I can switch over from MySQL.

I'd do both. Post it first to your blog. Spread it on twitter/facebook/email list with a link to your blog. Then after a few days copy it onto other platforms. Like Medium (with a link back to the original) and LinkedIn Pulse

Steve Blank and Eric Ries have great books on the subject. But if you want a step-by-step process, I'd read Ash Maurya's Running Lean. We pretty much followed it to a T and ended up with a validated solution that now has hundreds

The economics don't make sense by just simply pouring more money into the problem. If they need to hire an additional employee to support that $60k ARR they'll be heading into the red in terms of net profits. They also probably fi
