No biggie... do some contract work for a week and pay for it with that money. If you know how to put together a project that has seven servers, busting out a marketing site or two should take you almost no time.

Don't take me the wrong way here but it sounds like you're trying to get blood out of a stone. I have no doubt that you can find cheaper hosting, but you're probably better off just getting some outside money for the project

From what I've seen recently "Data Scientists" are really just analysts now. 4-5 years ago it would have been expected that a data scientist would be the cross between a statistician and a senior developer, now they're j

My first business: I wanted to play in bands but could never keep a group together so I started throwing concerts for all of my friends bands (promoting). Turned into a pretty good gig after a while. A: I did not intend to build it at all.

Thats pretty crazy, and I suppose a good thing. Dogfish head makes great products, and Sam Adams is one of a few Crafter brewers with a good Distribution across the country.

Here's my $0.02: You don't need to be good at "monetizing" to just ask people how you can improve. Throw a little survey box in the corner, and the people that use this thing enough will let you know what would make thei

Congrats. Thats awesome. Just guessing that real estate is going to be a consideration for this venture. Where (geographically) do you plan on operating? Is there any advantage to doing this in areas like Los Angeles/ Mexico City that

depends on the culture and on the goals of the company. Testing is an important best practice, but all "best practices" exist to enable the company to be successful. In your case it sounds like the work is focused on prototype pro

1. Above the fold you have 4 main CTAs and 2 search bars cut those numbers in half. 2. Regarding the filtering methods(search, tags, or start my search) pick one. If you don't know which one A/b test. 3. the highlighted navigation

I'm not using that as a proxy for ALL decision making. I'm representing that making decisions that concern technology would be better performed by people that understand technology. Implicitly our political class might not be good
