"There is probably a minute number of cases where someone wants mass assignment changes to include the parent's id of that record" So it sounds like you aren't using mass assignment to change parent ids either. Most people don't. Most peopl

There's another way of looking at pricing that comes up more and more in my thoughts on starting a new business/product. I've been calling it "pricing in reverse". I'll blog about it soon in more detail, but the gist is... As a new startup

I've taken a speed reading course through Groupon (Iris) and it has increased the amount of books I consume by 100x. Good for Amazon. :) Speed reading might be broken into two parts. There's the part where you train your brain+eyes to consu

"the opposite is also true" - Derek Sivers Test. It'd probably be best to serve a company to be able to test whether or not it serves you best to force customers into a hand held sales process or let everything remain DIY. I've created a to

Not having a demo or problem statement is tough probably? And you might find some great stuff using your lure like you are doing. But I can't help feel you might have more fun and possibly better effectiveness if go the trite "scratch your

I highly recommend the book Nail it Then scale it. http://www.amazon.com/Nail-then-Scale-Entrepreneurs-ebook/dp... There's some interesting discussion in there about cold emails and cold calls. It proposes that you should be emailing/call

This isn't exactly relevant to the article, but somehow shares some of the spirit of what happens to us as we educate/inform ourselves more: "this very real thing that runs rampant in educated people. It’s called 'impostor syndrome.' The cl

One thing I've noticed is that Google likes to use RC4_128 as their encryption method for SSL. Most people just pick AES_256_CBC like 37s has. RC4_128 is so much faster in tests we've run. Of course, there's a possible security trade off, s

Thanks for the Thesis mention. I had posted this not intending to debate, I just am pretty naive to most things Wordpress related still. I remember the Thesis controversy getting started, but I tuned anything out about it since then, and di

Jamie and his wife's enthusiasm for life is infectious. That is an awesome family. I spent an hour going through his videos last night. I can't believe how much energy that guy has to do everything in his life.

Another couple things: - Make the subject and context of your email, "I could really use your advice". Ask these contacts for help and advice on what they would do in this situation. A guy at cars.com might know that they won't buy this sit

Thanks a ton for this info. It helps add to my knowledge of what's going on there. What's also sad, is that seeing a psychiatrist has it's own dilemmas attached to it. "If I see a psychiatrist, what will my friends think of me?", "If I see

The number one thing I would improve is add some kind of alert system when someone replies to one of your comments or posts. Email me. Or put some kind of alert icon somewhere on the orange bar that someone has replied to something I'm invo
