It seems like we could have gotten all the clicks we wanted, but they wouldn't convert.

A personal anecdote: we tried advertising on Facebook to people aged 30+ who are interested in Catholicism (and other similar keywords) for http://BeadifulRosaries.com/ and had absolutely no luck at all. We spent a lot of time crafting ad

Very cool but likely 1) very hot and 2) very expensive (seriously though, any guitarist will attest to the fact that replacing tubes isn't cheap!).

Some people like it as it keeps their mind on SEO and their keywords. We also offer a weekly option which might be more appropriate for some.

The same thing I said in their comments (dunno if they'll approve my blatant self-promotion): If anyone is interested in automating their fetish for checking their organic SEO rankings, I’d be happy to give you a free spin in my app http:/

Perhaps you could clarify or point me to some more information on this? Even as a (somewhat amateur) jazz musician, musical pivots have always eluded me.

I know HN usually gets silly on the weekends, but this is generally good advice.

When I see these sorts of things, I like to imagine that in 10 years we'll be playing Doom 3 run off Javascript in a browser. You know, march of progress and all.

It merely helped in my situation. If 3.1.3 ran at 100%, 4.0 ran at 40-50% and 4.1 bumped it back up to 60-70% at best (in my experience).

I don't think that is a fair comparison. Going out of your way to buy a new version of Windows (which has clear hardware requirements) and slapping it on old hardware is much different than syncing your phone and following directions for a

I'll admit, I upgraded my 3G to the 4 because of how uselessly slow it was. I wonder if I can get a piece of the class action?

I was mostly referring to the use of email as a medium to reach signed-up but otherwise unengaged users.

Once again Patrick has made me think twice about what I can and should be doing with my webapp customers. These show-and-tell type posts are worth a lot more than face value...

You can see the actual products the have for sale here: http://alchemylabz.eu/products.php . A little Googling on the listed analogues for sale reveals that most people in the usual forums for recreational drug use have long written these

I'll second Idiorm, we use it on http://rothira.com/ for all the simple stuff like saving leads. It's perfectly lightweight for something like that.

In the same vein as Cython if you just wanna speed up your Python code, take a look at Psyco as well. It's a "just-in-time (JIT) compiler" which means I have no clue how it works, but it does.

Believe it or not, I did something similar to this a while back: http://bryanhelmig.com/notorious-b-i-g-crack-commandments-in... In fact, I think this sort of abstraction is a useful way to internalize all that "business advice" you read

On the other hand, I sometimes wonder if I see dumb when all I talk about is my little startups and whatever jazz I'm into today.

That's pretty much me. I can't tell you how to do some arcane task in code, but give me a week and I'll get a working website doing pretty much anything you want. Give me a few months and it will be polished and ready for anything. I know I

Hmmmm, I have 49 domains. That's costing me $400 a year. I'd say a good two dozen are active(ish). They just seem to accumulate...

I agree, the word "feels" correct. The problem is we consent to using PayPal. Check this out: > PayPal, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to close an account at any time for any reason, including but not limited to a violation

> Theft: the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's freely-given consent. We all consent to PayPal's terms when we choose them over some of their competitors.

Cynically stating that PayPal is truly attempting to "steal" from their customers is incorrect. Based on most of what I've read (and I, like everyone here, have read a of PayPal horror stories...), PayPal "stealing" is really just PayPal gi

I agree, a job is much better than a handout. Regardless, infrastructure and education are two things that do help people create jobs and exit poverty. Charity != giving people money.

I would like to see an A/B test where A is no test and B is a traditional A/B test. ;-) My guess is, similar tests favor the "non-test" or quicker result/load, though I bet it would take A LOT of views to irk this out. Google always talk ab

Definitely makes you think about opportunity cost in terms of CS: spend time writing an efficient algorithm or just bust out the ole brute force. Surprisingly, brute force works really well with the excess performance we all have sitting ar
