This is a novel concept. There's an emotional satisfaction that you get out of this. If you ran the ROI numbers on the advertising it probably wouldn't play out, but if you wanted to brag at a cocktail party that you had your company advert

Do you think that if someone told you that you wouldn't have built BCC? What I'm really asking is can you make everything reoccurring or are their certain markets that won't tolerate it.

No, I am correct. When I was calculating the height of the paper, not the thickness.

The point I was making is that what Marx believed is called Marxism and not socialism. They differ in a number of ways. 1.One is the Marxism is derived from the Hegelian German tradition of a dialectical view of social change. 2.Marxism arg

I was talking with a German about what he thought America's national rallying cry was. He said, "In America, everyone is an aristocrat" He pointed out that we all drive big cars and in Germany you can't drive a big car without means. He als

The term sharecropper has two meanings. The first one is the modern day practice. "He's a sharecropper because he uses share cropping in his business" refers to the modern day agricultural practice. Whatever economic system they use is irre

The idea behind "google me" is that YOU are the only person that shows up. You've got to work to get there. Once you've gotten there though, it's a nice place to be. Without trying very hard I was about to take my blog from 30th to 2nd when

When learning to ride a bike brakes and shifters are really irrelevant. You're going to crash anyway. As for how I learned to ride, my dad took me to a hill, sat me on the bike and pushed me down. I learned how to ride pretty quick...well u

Yes. You see when you get lawyers involved it communicates, "I'm serious." Until this point, you're just another person complaining about something like putting up an ugly picture of you.

That was my original intention, but we designed for the general case instead of the specific. I think we will add this in eventually.

I worked with a designer on this and the project had a few goals, but the last of them was to make money. 1. I wanted to learn ruby + sinatra. This was just to see what I could build acting as the programmer + sys admin. 2. The designer and

It does the same on my HPtouchpad. We'll be fixing that. We have that on our todo list. Honestly, nothing else yet. The designer put the text in there. Trust me my algo is nothing like developing an algo for netflix recommendation or google

the real question is if real programmers would hate you even if it was programmed by a real programmer. Everyone thinks everyone else makes poor design decisions.

You may very well be right about the future. You shouldn't try to get paid to do something that someone will do for free or cheap all day long. However, that doesn't mean you can't create value by being a musician, artist, programmer or des

It's weird to me that you WOULDN"T feel secure doing that. I grew up in a rural community where you left your car keys in the car and the door unlocked. It wasn't uncommon to see $100,000+ pieces of farm equipment sitting out in the field w

I think we need a class in school called 'Identifying and Creating Value in the 21st Century (like your great great grandparents did)." Let's be honest, that's where the jobs are going to come from and where they are going to go. The point

^I think that profit should be the reward for value, and that value comes as the result of hard work. This is factually incorrect. You are correct that profit IS the reward for creating value. However, from your previous posts I'm under the

Zed, that's what he wanted. As I suggested there are alternatives to prevent someone from changing even one word.

To be fair, I assumed the same thing that the parent did. The reaction came from "The guy just said he doesn't want to allow forks or changes" so what does it matter if github has a feature that allows it. The button isn't a licensing agree

^Start a CV, and be prepared to lose my house if I can't pay back the investor. This makes it sound like a loan not an investment. If you have to pay him back, why not just go get a loan?

Here's how I'd think about it... 1. If someone is already charging for it and they have customers, they've already done the hard work. Now you can copy them. 2. You need to solve a problem better than anyone else. There are lots of cars, bu

I'm not sure I completely agree with this argument, but I think it is worth putting out there. It doesn't matter if a single article gets killed. We have too much information already, so not seeing a single article will probably mean very
