For the deals I've offered, it was always sales - variable cost of sales. I sell credit reports. So just take out the vendor cost of the reports. I am happy to eat credit card fees, server fees, any other fixed costs for running the b

I have a standing offer to anybody to pay them 100% of the profits off of anything they create for 12 months for my product. I've offered higher amounts as well (200% of profits, 120% of sales) in order to incentivize people to try. In

Thanks, FWIW the link I linked to was an implementation I did a week or so ago. I'm actually using a similar browser based curve implementation (I'm using the bezier rendering thing instead of a quadratic) -- https://gi

Is there any sort of smoothing going on? the rendered curve looks really slick and super nice. I had some trouble with making signatures look nice on a library I used (mouse drawn signatures looked really choppy and jagged) so I had to do a

I can't figure out the sendgrid pricing at all. 10/mo for 40k emails and 80/mo for 100k emails doesn't fit a normal model of reducing price for incremental usage and there's no clear explanation for it. I use sendg

congrats, team. idonethis has been useful to me, particularly as a lightweight tool for giving remote teams a way to keep each other in the loop about what everyone else is doing.

my response was flippant and uncalled for. the list is generally great, but for some reason the few times i've seen seemingly moral judgments it makes me bristle. "augment the human condition", "a huge number of people&q

even more fun is that you should be simultaneously 1. Getting to ramen profitability with a team of 2 – 4 within six months to a year, AND 2. augmenting the human condition for a huge number of people in a meaningful way. Well shit... if

"people have done it" doesn't mean that its a good lesson (or a lesson at all) i think @beachstartup's point is that the problem with treating this as a "lesson" is that you're imposing a value judgment on

you're missing the point: maybe email is not good for privacy. the article is about not using email. no tool is perfect. you know what would be great? if hammers cured cancer. they don't though, so we just use them to hammer nails

email is a tool. you can use it for what it works for. it doesn't have to be used for all communication. assume a world where all your emails are archived in publicly accessible databases. you've lost privacy, but could it still b

wow cool. NY was surprisingly low on the entrepreneurship index to me. My guess is: * really high absolute entrepreneurship activity, but really high population * i'm biased b/c i erroneously think of NYC as New York State

I'd also love anything other than anecdotal evidence from Mormons that UT or Mormons produce a disproportionately large number of businesses or entrepreneurs -- I'll happily bet on CA, NY, and FL for state entrepreneurship rates.

love this. some of the discussion notes here seem to center on whether the requirements of serving mormon missions is a driver for entrepreneurship, but i think the obvious real story here is that 2 years of truly focused, single minded ded

This is an awesome hiring approach. If the only reason people join is because they want to ride your rising stock, they're probably a brutal hire. In some sales technique philosophies, sales people try to give prospects reasons to NOT

1. The "unethical or lazy" is what the counterparty says to feel better about their own lives when they're failing. It's human nature to want to believe you're pursuing the best path. 2. I don't understand why

I respond and give feedback on their pitch. I find that most recruiters just copy paste things and usually I think, " even if i was in the market for a job, this would turn me off ". So I tell them what I think they should do to

its possible. just find a counterparty who wants to take the other side of the bet. people short unshortable assets in finance all the time by getting the bank or a marketmaker to take the other side in an "over-the-counter" (OTC
