I have a funny story about Dropbox which happened two weeks ago. I have a friend who has been running a travel business for about 6 years. During that time, I've hosted her website, email, etc...for $5/month. I've also spent quite a bit

A lottery ticket is your best shot at riches: False. Sadly, this isn't the no-brainer that it should be. ...Consider this: If you take that $150 a year and put it into a 401(k) or IRA at age 30, you'll have $28,000 by age 65, assuming a re

No, that it's easy and obvious and a certain amount of luck has nothing to do with it. EDIT: Or maybe it's just the "We know the best way to do everything" attitude. I admire their success, but not the condescension. I might be the only on

I get his point, and agree with it. In hindsight, I think I was responding more to the underlying theme of nearly every 37signal blog post.

Summary: If you don't make a profit, you're not successful. Enlightening. Hey, guess what? A lot of businesses have run in the negative until they got traction and make a metric ton of money. Congratulations on being profitable from day o

"Please don't start your shell scripts with #!/bin/sh...run it with '/bin/sh foobar', instead of ./foobar." Are you serious?

I know exactly how you feel. I was recently laid off for 5 weeks and worked full-time on my startup. Working from home was so awesome... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=641400 With that said, here are my thoughts. First of all, you're

It might be harsh, but I wish someone would have said it to me, just like that, a long time ago. I wonder what percent of that two percent were thinking exactly the same thing as me. ;)

WTF!? I don't mean to be an insensitive dick, but for the love of God, please do not follow this guy's advice. Instead of huffing, go out and get some fresh pussy asap. Surround yourself with other people, especially girls. Be confident,

"find out if your ISP blocks the incoming ports you need for whatever servers you want to run. Most do." I've heard this a lot, but never encountered it and I've run servers off of DSL, Cable, hell, even off a Sprint Wireless Card... EDIT:

We're trying to do something similar at Flooha. Anyone can create a free website, which they own, using the software of their choosing. We will open it up very soon so that developers can upload their own apps which users can then use to

I think the overhead of paying people to manually update stuff is somewhat under-rated in the article...and what happens when the artist changes their facebook/twitter/myspace/etc... password and you can't get in? How do you convince othe

Totally agree. My son can play every song on expert and I always razzed him about never playing my real drums. So, yesterday I suddenly hear some amazing drummer beating the living shit out of my drums and was in shock that it was him and

You made the right decision. As you said in your blog, it's nearly impossible for someone to tell you the domain name (hab.la) without spelling it out. Olark.com is pretty straigtforward. This is coming from a guy who can speak limited Sp

...and just when I was thinking about buying that black-to-blue sunburst Les Paul I saw recently...I bet the price tag has already been changed. ;) RIP Les, you were a Legend long ago and always will be.

They were talking about this on the Bob & Tom show this morning and apparently he played as recently as June 1, '09 and did so every Monday. They told a story about how Jimmy Buffet sat in and Les was cracking jokes...great stuff. I ho

"Perhaps there are people out there that really hate following step-by-step instructions." Yep, they're called "users". They aren't programmers and don't want to be. They just want something to work. I'm surprised a programmer would rathe

I extrapolated his statement to include things like software addons. Even an experienced web developer gets annoyed by searching, downloading, uploading, configuring permissions etc... It's very similar to what he's griping about. Yes, mat

Having just finished reading 1984, I couldn't help but think of the children as part of the "spies". It's an interesting experiment, but I'm not sure if we want to start positively reinforcing the behavior in children to rat out adults on
