There seems to be some misunderstanding in these comments in how Google Analytics works: "The Average Time on Page trend line should give you the information you need without resorting to this." Incorrect, if no further events or pages are

Is it odd that I find the exercise to prevent the spam far more interesting than the product itself (not a criticism)? No traditional captchas, no oauth tie-ins... just good-old-fashion machine learning, graph analysis, hellbanning, negativ

$400 for 1/4th rack seems close to what I see at the bottom end of the scale here as well. How many RUs do you have? I have seen DCs doing it per RU for roughly $100 for 1 RU. What is your location? If you happen to be in the same state as

Another method you might consider is milestone based payment. You have a project-as-a-whole cost but have set milestones and when they are met you get paid. This is nice for both parties at the beginning of a relationship to "test the water

There may be an average for your particular niche, however I believe it varies drastically on the whole. Largely depending on the work you do, experience, and your contacts. Also, I believe the rate you charge gets you completely different

Micro startups can make seven figures, even with one person. There are some truly amazing business models out there that I never see many hit upon. HN members, in particular, seem to miss them. However, I expect that there are folks who do

amarco is right on the mark. You are doing great, particularly for your age. Keep at it and I have no doubt you will be amazing. I see this thread pop up from time to time, and I admire your determination. Keep that fire going. I'd love to

This is the single most frustrating thing I experience when I freelance from time to time. It is also the reason I don't use that thread. I am often willing to give decent sized discounts for people who communicate well. I'll take the cut i

I have had the opposite problem and I have yet to find a solution. However, I am looking for a superb UI/UX guy to take over the world with. Even with a 5+ year successful business, it is hard to find that right match of skill, personality,

One that I think is vastly overlooked is being able to really comprehend numerous forms of technical documentation quickly. I was always surprised how some developers take quadruple or more time to work their way through than other devs. I

I am glad so many devs think this way. It is nice to take over your clients at insane rates when they get fed up and re-write your projects in a 1/8 of the time and 1/4th the cost. Please, do not read any solid computer science books. That'

Completely agree with the article. I was an SEO for a top 250 site (~20 million UVS a month) years ago and there are two kinds of SEOs. 99.9% of them are this shitty, scammy, scummy personas we've defined. Absolutely worthless. However ther

Echoing what I have learned myself. If you are an entrepreneur and you haven't read "Nail It then Scale It", do so now. No, really. There are few books I solidly recommend, particularly for business, but this book is the one I have found mo

I am absolutely enthralled with genuine analysis and numbers. All too often when talking with startup founders, you get this fake show of "everything is great" or them trying to sell you. Makes attempts at genuine discussion hard. It is int

Fantastical integration with Reminders for the longer term stuff. It's lovely to have your todo and calendaring information in one simple app. The natural language processing rocks. Like a little assistant. They have an iPhone app in additi

Had iPhones for years. Started working from home (solo) and found it ridiculous to spend ~$100 a month for basically a few hours of talk time and ~250Mb of bandwidth (I was always on wifi). Added up the lifetime cost of the phone (based upo

Point taken. I imagine much depends on the domain and deliverable, as to what that ratio might look like. As someone stated above, not every company is doing ground breaking work which needs the "best and brightest". But some companies migh

One thing this does not account for is that your potential developer pool increases by orders of magnitude with remoting. So, while a team might be more productive co-located, your ability to get much higher quality individuals working for

It is exceedingly easy to find other examples to counter. In fact, one of the easier ways is by looking at software where their license is of a specific type. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AGPL_web_applications

I have no idea if these are true, but I like a person who can self-reflect well. I love folks who are able to attack/correct things they need to. Best of luck!
