This is all just rubbish so that they can find more eyeballs to stick into the service. They've reached almost everyone, so the next logical step is to bring Internet to the only audience they can't yet reach.

You can't be serious? Besides the obvious physical differences, there are biological differences as well. An egg is not a slow roasted chicken.

This is gross. I'm a vegetarian, so I'm biased, but am I the only one that thinks moving from animal sourced protein to slow roasted crickets sounds obscene?

It's a tenet of buddhism. I'm just re-stating it.

I didn't think everyone would agree with you on that.

I didn't pay my loans, the army did, after I returned from Afghanistan.

Which proves my point exactly.

That's not true. The government offers grants and loans for those with low incomes. I should know, that's how I paid for school. Skillsets and education must be earned; they are not granted. You're still failing to provide ev

I'm not sure where you're getting that, but if you read the rest of my comments on this thread I think you'll get a different impression.

Increase wages why? Corporations are not charities, and they have never purported that they are. How is a corporation responsible for someone else's lack of education or skillset?

You're right. Been there done that. During a period in my twenties, I had lost my job, had a negative bank balance, and two kids to feed. I was on foodstamps while I worked at the Olive Garden making very little while spending far too

In capitalism, pay is a result of supply and demand. The truth is that working at McDonald's requires very little skill, and because of that, offers very little pay. I thought they paid a great wage when I worked there during high scho

Beyond that, most people just don't have what it takes to do anything else. We romanticism entrepreneurship often, and for good reason. It takes a lot more than wanting to be free of 9-5 bondage in order to be successful, and that&#x27

I have three things to say about this: 1. Many people are horrified by the thought of not being a simple worker bee. They say they want change, but they don't. They want the security of someone else taking care of them. The reason weal

"Plus a general dislike towards the Samwer brothers." This is why I won't use them until customers beg me to.

The beauty of stripe is that you CAN keep users on your site and process payments via a great API. Hosted payments would defeat the purpose.

by nhangen 13y ago
Really excited about this because Stripe is the most popular gateway for our WordPress plugin and this opens new doors for many of our customers in the UK that don't wan't to use Paypal. Would love to see them continue spreading E

Amy doesn't remember but her and I have had many conversations at various conferences. I know many of her peers, and I know several people that have taken her course. Her husband and I discussed my sunburn at lessconf. I know that she&

And I'm not saying anything negative about your launch. I'm saying that as you spend more time building a reputation as someone that can help people with a 'SaaS Compass,' you will have better results selling products li

Read my comment again: 'The problem with courses like the one the OP took is not that they offer bad advice, but they get people thinking about what they can sell instead of a) what problems they can solve and b) what problems they hav

by nhangen 13y ago
Hey Amy, I'm referring to the expertise required to solve a given problem. There's a difference between selling a software product and an info product, and I'm sure you would agree. For example, you have the authority to teac

"I didn’t stop to think if I had the authority to actually sell the product." This, IMO, is the line that best encapsulates the launch's performance. The problem with courses like the one the OP took is not that they offer ba

Exactly what I thought. Some strange hybrid between the two.

I think that's a reasonable assumption. My impression of Nike+ is that they could be great products, but Nike seems to lack the interest/agility necessary to iterate and move them forward. It's almost as if they are doing it

Yep, as others have said, Nike Fuelband (I own one, as does my wife), Jawbone, a variety of iOS and Android apps. Tons of new Kickstarter projects, etc.
356.
by nhangen 13y ago
That's a good point. I don't have one, but I do wear a Nike Fuel Band, which I like a lot. My complaint, and we've seen this on Kickstarter, is that anyone can make one of these things.

How much have they raised so far? According Crunchbase, around 96 million. http://www.crunchbase.com/company/fitbit This means they need to exit at a 'cool billion' or IPO in order to provide the return thei

Congress has been investigating, but has been denied access to evidence because it is classified.

What's worse with Braintree is that they won't even touch Crowdfunding with a 10ft pole.
