I actually wrote a piece on this in response to a brainstorm on business models: http://blog.chewxy.com/2013/03/06/startup-business-models-ad... I work in advertising, and I think that is a pretty good guide.

Eventually they do one better, and actually produce content cheaply - aka Demand Media. Flogs and farticle sites are so 2006 though. Now they use markov chain based generators to generate sites based on content scraped off other sites.

The fundamentals change very little, and very slowly (barring a revolution in the theory side of things). I recently decided that my surface-skimming knowledge of lambda calculus was severely lacking, and so I picked up a few books. One of

I created edgeyo, which was a kickstarter before kickstarter. It didn't take off because the model was kickstarter + stock exchange made it extremely complicated to use. Then we found out there were laws everywhere about running a stoc

I regularly delete my forks once I'm done with my pull requests. I used to do keep-ups (fetch from upstream, merge into my own, push into my own)... then it got tiring and out of hand. And I haven't even contributed much to open

If by graphs you mean charts, these are the tools I use: - d3js + nvd3 [0] - if the charts have to be online for consumption of people outside the company. Not so much a fan of using this because I have to do extra work to convert the data
