   People obviously still have a romanticized image of dating sites. Having worked for 2 years at an adult dating/advertisement company, let me wake you people up. Badoo's billing struck me as ingenious, but still a sham, like 95% of

    One of my friends wants to learn how to code, and asks me where to start, and what language (PHP? ). I always tell them; well think of something you want to solve first, smaller problem the better. Then google how to work out that problem.

    You hit it right on the nail. Once of I kind of get the hang of a language/framework, I end up copy pasting the heck out of everything until job done, then move on cause I'm bored. Often I move on before I've "mastered&q

    Exactly. I'm grateful that I don't get downvoted for the comment btw. But sorry, this lacks any news or intellectual value whatsoever. Now if a study would emerge that mirrors as a reflective tool are a proven deterrent of riot po

    I usually do this end of the day, just throw in some pseudo code for what I want to accomplish the next day. In the case of Rails I still have to learn about everything, so it is really easy to adhere to this practice :) However it is a bit

    Yes this. Actually the first time I came across a (variation of) this idea, it was years ago and brought up by a co-worker. I have been tinkering with the idea, and also came to the same conclusion, that virality / marketing in general

    You make all the great points, but forget to mention scarcity. The most extreme I've seen is fourtytwo42 [1]. The scarcity combined with an extremely low difficulty in the start is a huge incentive for miners to flock to a new altcoin,
