The correct term is advertorial. It is when the editori staff does an advertisement disguised as an article. It works wonders, more so when it comes from the NYT. This company is now front and center. Well done to your marketers. You will g

Yes, Google is still very engineering oriented. No questions about that. It is also one of their issues. They struggle to market products. Facebook on the other hand, is good at marketing products, and is also good at engineering (not as go

I had a tough time growing up due to this "virtue". I was always looking for ways to simplify and automate. I even had my computer connected to my alarm clock. So that a basic program I had running on it would automatically wake me up depen

The naming conventions are a bit strange. I'm used to bootstrap and others that have similar namig conventions. Still a nice framework. Will try it out.

I tried blue and dark grey. But the. I couldn't decide on the color.

Weird thing is that since being a nerd is in these days, peoe have complimented my style. If they only knew I lack it.

Yes. But I'm the good kind of lazy. I choose to spend my time working on solutions to big problems, rather than working on what shirt to wear tomorrow. I do use different brands with different cuts and styles. Mostly because I grab whatever

I dress the same every day. Black t-shirt with no logo, jeans, and sneakers. If its cold, I put on my black hoodie. That's all you will see. Nice ocassions? My wife takes care of that. Otherwise, it's my uniform. Clothing costs have gone do

You should stop using a CV, and build an online portfolio. Then start marketing like an online business, rather than like a local contractor. You can get work the next week if you simply stop focusing on your bad luck. Start by advertising

Nope. Google can't really be trusted.

I'm building a search engine with it (nuuton.com). Like you, I come from a C & Python background. And like you, it also made my mind click. Since search is so widespread, I use it for everything. From the actual website, to the crawlers

Yes, I would, I have, and will do it again. Being a felon is not a standard definition. People can go to jail for very different things. Of course, I won't work with anyone who committed a violent crime, but I will consider people who have

Its nerd central. Which means that you will come into contact with a lot of people who are like you. It makes the place unique, because there is simply no other place in the world where that happens. Well, maybe in akihabara or the chinese

The service seems very useful, and executed well. The name sucks. I don't know how to pronounce it.

That's too much stuff at once. This coming from the guy who has like a million startups. Your issue is that everything is unrelated. You can't combine work loads (that's the secret). When you are able to combine work loads, stuff gets simpl

Oh ok. It was a bit confusing. I think this looks like a good project for people to check out. By no way was I being pedantic. It is good to have informed beginners. It does make. Big improvement. Marketing is a lot about testing.

You mention it takes 8 months in this post, yet in the website it says 8 weeks. Which one is it? It also is an awful short time to learn of the subjects you mention. Copywriting itself takes years to learn properly.

Yes. I'm a father and own multiple businesses/startups. All you need is to get organized.

I can see the headline now: I rented my apartment in airbnb and now can't evict the renter. It's been a year.

I wonder what will happen when someone declines to leave the rented space. Do they have any law protecting them? Do the property owners have a law that protects them from this? It would be interesting to see how a magistrate would interpret

Find somebody to work with. I sometimes have this issue, and having someone on the phone or skype with me allows me to talk things through with them. I can go fro stuck to super productive in minutes.

I'm working on that. The standard API is currently being designed.

Its not worth it. You don't have anything here to win. They will learn with your businesses, and most likely deliver shitty work. But hey, its free! Never, ever bring in a programmer without pay. It is a recipe for disaster.

Fair? That will get you sued. Sit down with them, and ask for what you want. Next time, don't lend under those terms. It doesn't make sense, and you are opening yourself to a lawsuit. Hopefully, you have a good enough relationship with them
