i think his theory is that HNers and redditors have a more elitist attitude about themselves and their tech skills, but will fall for the same basic traps as their grandma. (or, thats what it sounds like to me)

If you don't control the system it runs on, then you are completely at the mercy of someone else's business. If they go broke, your software goes down. but, couldn't you make this argument about many things? your company's payment gatewa

i think you miss the point. minimal change = more than minimal results.

hence why i said, i didn't do this, but i could have. just pointing out that it can be done.

thats not exactly what i mean. for example, last month, i could've earned about 5000 more points by eating at different restaurants, instead of the ones i actually went to. would've required a bit of planning and a bit of effort. and eat

its not as difficult as you would think, its more a matter of effort and ability. i readily recognize i could have almost double the miles i currently do if i put more energy into it.

huh... interesting post, because i'm in the process of building up miles in order to do the exact same thing. glad to know it works

i don't really want to give it an upvote because its unrelated and it has an affiliate tag. sets a precedent. i might be ok with one or the other, but not both.

i've talked to small business owners about the BBB in the past, just in incidental conversation, and they all used the exact same words to describe it: "protection racket".

money is a tool. once you have it, great. what are you going to do with it? why are you obtaining it?

by noodle 16y ago
depends on what type of post. there's plenty of stuff that doesn't show up here or doesn't do well here that shows up on reddit and does well, and vice versa. the crowd is similar, but different.

agreed, although to note -- the last 3 are likely much better because their plot is so much more set in stone. the middle books meandered because RJ did so much in the first 3 books that he realized he had to let the plot catch up to the a

looks more like a microfinance operation like prosper or lendingclub than actual investment. profits above and beyond repayment go to a nonprofit.

can't we have both? a gentleman hacker farm? a small countryside farm where you can go to bootstrap your own startup. i mean, we've kind of discussed similar in the past and i still actually kind of like the idea.

this sounds like a pretty viable business idea, actually. in the past, i've looked for a simple VPN service provider to help secure non-techie friends' laptop work at a starbucks or whatever. couldn't find anything decent. seems like peo

no. we already theorized that, we didn't know . we didn't have proof. now we do; now we know. the actual tangible differences are likely going to be in funding, research direction, and scope of effort on the topic. who knows what fu

i think that it is meaningfully different from previous definitions. perhaps all sparks of life would require the same stuff that it did on earth, that is unclear. but it shows that the continuation of life doesn't necessarily require th

if you're watching the press conference, they're very adamant that it doesn't prove anything about extraterrestrial life and they aren't able to yet say if life evolved with the arsenic or if it adapted. but they're pointing out that it doe

its more of a commentary on the account plans that github has. compare it to pretty much every other github competitor, and they almost unilaterally provide at least one free private repo.

a lot of corroborating evidence. there were numerous plagiarized articles. i even personally checked out an issue and googled some lines to see where they were taken from. the email in this instance could've been completely faked.

i considered it in the past, and i might make the switch with all the internal crap going on with CI. but my biggest current project is CI-based and making the conversion would be...tough. plus, their docs suck.

fair enough, it was the newest one i could find. this and similar reports from others are the reason i don't use cake, though, and it seems like it would be in their best interest to get some newer information out there. (i made my choices

the path to monthly revenue isn't necessarily a linear one, no. but it doesn't mean that it still isn't a viable metric. take the exact same argument you made here, swap "revenue" and "pageviews", and it still pretty much makes sense.
