I'll tackle the Firemen. You could do, "10 Things Your City Doesn't want you to know about funding" to score political points. You could also do "10 Products That Will Save your Life" to sell products. What I've seen on Facebook is that wh

I view shipping as putting it out the door. You can ship a blog post that connects with others, and not have an economic transaction. Again, shipping is hitting the post button. You can ship on an e-mail you spent 12 hours researching to h

I get your point. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the danger or being just a consumer, not a producer. This is actually the best comment of the whole thread. It's just as dangerous to sit on hacker news or read about other people all da

I think we're saying somewhat similar things, in a different words. Thanks for the great discussion!

Doesn't shipping do that? It causes you to interact with tons of different people, either directly with your work or in the process of shipping your work.

So what would you suggest instead then? We could sit here and think of all the reasons why that isn't true. You need to not get hit by the bus, not be a moron, have lungs, etc. Obviously, if you get hit by the bus its game over and it doe

I spent the last 2 or 3 years, wondering what made people successful. I've since read about all the popele who I find successful. Here's the conclusion I've come to. 1. They ship things. 2. They work on something everyday. If you do those

Geography is becoming increasing irrelevant. I live in a small 855 person town in the middle of America. I just found an awesome job, working with an awesome company doing really interesting work. Don't use the place as an excuse.

There are two use cases. 1. I want to own my own name: "Noah Clark" noahc.net was available and the best I could do. In that case it makes sense to go with .net or .org as in sivers.org. Erica of Erica.biz is a big fan of the .biz domain n

I think a large part of this has to do with programming language choice. I suspect there is a large group of ruby hackers out there who can only use Amazon, and not GAE.

I like the sentiment, but I just want to share pictures from my latest beer pong victory man! The point is that humans are horrible at risk modeling, particularly teen agers and those in early adulthood. We as a society seem to be heading t

I had a similar experience. Where I just jumped. The one thing I would have done differently is not tried to do 1 million projects, and I wish I would have learned I was more extraverted than what I thought I was early. It would have save

Equity is worth 80 Million. He was able to take control with $25 million when the share price was ~2.5x of what it is today. So for $10 million you could take control. Why couldn't you spend $10 million and then declare bankruptcy cancel

I saw the 25 million deal that went through at $2.25 a share which was just below market rates. Assuming things are worse and you could again get just below market rates would it be unreasonable to assume you could get it at .75 a share or

Here is what worked for me: 1. Become active in the community you want to get involved in. If it's startups, you're at the right place. Start to build a reputation. Start to make connections. Honestly, I thought I had to become the next

Does anyone know what it would cost to buy borders or how you would start to evaluate a private equity buyout?

I would add wordpress to your CMS list. It's more than just a blogging platform and has a ton of plugins and themes available. It might even be possible to build what the OP is looking to build in wordpress using themes + plugins.

Websites are composed of two parts the frontend and the backend. There are various tools to make each part easier. The front end is composed of html, css, and javascript. As far as the html and css go, you can get started very quickly with

First of all. What are your goals? Is this play money or is this real money that you'll need down the road? If it's play money, then invest in whatever you want. I've had really good luck by buying stocks of consumer goods that for some

I am some what of a jack of all trades. I'm not a programmer, but I know how to program. I can make things work in a hacked sort of manner. Just spending two weeks working through a basic book on python would fix this problem. I've hire

It might make more sense to try and get more paying users for a small amount of apps, than more apps for a small amount of users.

Another way to look at this would be 'doing stuff that matters' or 'doing what only I can do' or maybe 'doing stuff no one told me to do' I think the biggest difference is that the garbage man is doing what he is told to do whereas the famo

You may get better response, if you google 'graphic designers forum' and list the ones you've posted to and then ask if you've missed any.

I also had an Iranian friend. I would agree with being unreasonable. I have an undying belief in people. If someone says they are going to change the world I believe them. No one else will.
