How long has freckle been around for? How many hundred blog posts have you written to promote it? How many interviews have you done over the years and plugged it? How many joint ventures and mailing lists has freckle been on? Yeah, if I hus

Why do I need to buy a book to raise my rates? I do anyway. Why did you need to? I'm confused.

You and Patrick have done an exemplary job of leveraging the herd mentality, but some of us are getting tired of the pitch. How many times are you going to try and milk this cow?

I think Larry was being facetious, especially considering the context of the comment.

I needed to read that. Thank you!

Can desperation drive success? I don't know, but I'll find out soon!

Yeah, I found it off-putting and I wasn't as receptive to your message after that. But then again, I did say I'm a special snowflake. It could very well be only me who is off-putting and has the problem.

Thanks. You just saved me a lot of time. BTW: I would pay a small subscription fee to have podcasts (and audiobooks) summarized like you just did.

Ah, that explains it. And yes, unless he lives in North Korea, he can do whatever he wants. My apology to the author of the post. If I knew about the recipe sites I would have never questioned it.

Call me a special little snowflake, but why is he eating in the photo? I have a hard time taking the article seriously with a profile pic like that. Anyone else feel it's a distracting photo, and perhaps even disrespectful to the reader?

Come on, lets be serious. Hardly anyone is going to pay $25 for an app they will use only once. And it's an app. Most people flinch at any price over $2.99. Pricing it at $25 would be a disaster. You can bet the barn on that.

Great interview. I've always found Jason Shen to be an inspirational and positive person. A rarity nowadays!

In regards to bikes in general, the formfactor is nearly perfected and there are designs to accommodate almost anyone. I think the innovations need to be in the public's perception and increased usage of them (and not cars).

Shame on the author for not saying something to the younger workers. Yes, it is exploitation. How could it not be?

Why is Neil Gaimen in the humble bundle? I thought this was to help under-exposed artists, not writers who are already a massive success. I say make room for talented writers who could use the money.

All joking aside, maybe this is what it's about?

The way you were talking up the site, I thought the sale price would be $40,000, not $400. My advice: if you are broke and have no food in the fridge, sell it. If you're doing "okay" financially, keep it. Four hundred isn't enough. I'd be a

I was trying to unload my bitcoins and found various vendors to spend it on. Not so weird.

I was naive. I still had faith in common human decency.

Truthfully, I have purchased about 4-5 things with bitcoins, both digital and physical products, and got stiffed EVERY SINGLE TIME. Yeah, go ahead and downvote me, but it's the truth.

It's about skimming great oceans of APIs that you could spend years studying and learning, but the market will have moved on by then and that's no fun anyway, so you cut and paste from examples and manage to get by without a full picture o
