Specifically about hosting: http://asmallorange.com/hosting/shared/ $35 for a whole year of hosting. That's not bad at all and I've used them in the past and they are very good.

I can confirm that this is happening. Usually I'll get a couple search terms on the first page that go up or down any given week. Most of the search terms I monitor have had lots of flux in the last few weeks.

Is there a reason you don't want to go with NameCheap? All around they seem to be quality. I've used them for 2 or 3 years now and they are great.

Sounds like you havent either.... That's like telling the director of the FBI he knows nothing about law enforcement because he wont reveal facts that he has a professional obligation to not reveal.

The word you are looking for is opportunity cost. Put simply they have an opportunity to make more money some where else. However, different investors have different risk profiles and prefrences and that investment may appeal to a certain c

I disagree. They could have gone and shot a bunch of dogs and posted pictures on the internet. By your measurement 'many more people are already talking about them...'. Is this example extreme? Sure, but the point is that the measurement i

Yes, please add it to your website. Or even better to your HN profile page. I'm in Iowa too and I wanted to give you some non-public, very specific (and hopefully helpful) feedback.

Fuel Consumption Monitor: Many cars offer something like this (particularly hybrids) and it's almost standard now. A friends car does this and the sweet spot is 63-64 MPH. Typically you can drive 62 and not get pulled over, but 64 is push

Talk to women and small businesses. Ask them what they feel like they pay way to much for, what their biggest problem this week is. These two markets are so underserved it is ridiculous.

It solves a problem very well, many would say a little too well. What happens is that once this problem is solved a little too well in that it does the following: 1. Provides no way of reversing transactions. 2. Has a large enough mass that

It seems it would be pretty easy to just 'rent' computers to do this. Even better if they are in the united states. It's essentially software that notices when you are idle and opens up Youtube videos, and other web media to inflate viewers

I think you're being a bit too liberal in your understanding of the word 'anything'. I am all for free speech, but there is a long list of things like child porn, state secrets, copyrighted material, etc that I think we would all agree is n

I have been pulled over 3 times and gotten 2 warnings (one written, one not) and a ticket for not having my insurance card on me (that was later dismissed). The first time I was going 75 in a 55, the second time I was going 45 in 30 and the

Patrick's point is that he's building a piece of software that only appeals to a certain type of person and that the software makes that certain type of person feel like they have a chance. Essentially, it's a false promise. Entering your t

I moved into a rental house and we had a stack of these that we'd just throw on the counter and take them whenever. As far as I know each one had been used by at least 2 generations of renters before me. It must have been odd.."Wow, this ve

People from the finance side use MM to mean million, which as you note is really 1,000 X 1,000. The other side you see it is in CPM which is cost per m (being thousand). So people with this background tend to adopt the MM = million because

This would be awesome. I bought a theme off of themeforest the other day and they essentially wrote a mini-cms in js that would have been way to much work to tear apart and turn it into a static site. This morning, I'm working on adding a g

I had to go through this exact same process in High School. I almost shot my self. I ended up getting a D- on the paper. The process is so deeply flawed here is one example. I have my sources, my note cards, and my outline. Each note card h

I really like number 1 and 2. Those both would be awesome examples of getting stuff done in a college setting. Thanks for pointing this out, as I've said earlier, I'm not sure we really disagree that much.

I don't think we really disagree that much. I admit that last phrase was a bit over the top. But, I do believe that long term industrial education will slowly die out. Probably a lot slower than I think. There's nothing that special about m

This is an awesome, insightful comment and really highlights what I'm getting at. You're right that they both have weaknesses. What I'm saying is I'm willing to go all in on the person who figured out much of it by himself using whatever he

I don't doubt that a degree can take much more time or work. In fact I'm sure it probably does, which is all the more reason to NOT go that route. That's awesome that you want to push things forward. We need that, but what I'm saying is tha

Those things are all mostly true. But, Here's what I'm saying is that you can spend 2 - 4 years going to school to learn about big 0, or red-black trees or whatever. That's fine. Or you could spend 2 - 4 years hacking 3/4 to 1/2 time and ha

Why is that? You're not adding much to this conversation just by saying "That's an awful way of thinking." Why is it so awful that I realize that technology and business can be learned much faster, much cheaper, and more indepth by actually

What does the degree add exactly, particularly in regard to something that can't be measured by another metric? I can't think of any key indicator of why I would want to hire someone that can't be demonstrated in some other way besides a de

Udacity isn't a brand yet. Someday something like it or it will be. Then it won't matter. I respect people who are resourceful and get stuff done. If you choose to go to college and wait out the great recession, I'll look down on you no mat
