I wake up at 5 am every morning and code until 10 am on my startup then do work from 10 until 6. I also spend the last 2 hours before bed planning and doing any other startup task to make the 5 hours I spend in the morning working more pro

I dont know (or care) if they are making a phone but I think it makes sense for them to. In the new yorker article Zuckerberg said he "imagines Facebook as, eventually, a layer underneath almost every electronic device." and phones are and

I am a part time single founder of www.socialadmanager.com and a part-time co-founder (adult site). I have found that it helps not only in terms of working on the product at a faster pace but things just get done at a must faster pace in g

Good job. This looks cool. I made something like this for dell once called FTR (First Time Resolution). FTR is a metic that describes how many times (on avg) a user has to call in before their issue is resolved. I think if you added tha

I dont think that it has reached its "Final Stage". I do feel that its currently over hyped and will have to evolve in order to compete w/ traditional casual games now that the free distribution they were receiving has disappeared. I neve

Another issue here is that IMHO all the best teams are formed organically (e.g.: Google Guys @ Stanford / FB Guys @ Harvard etc...) and not out of a direct inent to form a startup. As we all know running a startup w/ a co-founder is like b

I think that there is something wrong with that. I have found that business co-founders are a dime a dozen but tech co-founders are extremely hard to find and in high demand. Oddly enough this creates the same situation that you find on t

I have and currently work for adult companies (AFF / Stockroom / AEBN etc...) and this problem is even bigger then this article explains. Several companies have closed their doors. One interesting thing I have found is that niche / fetish

totally off topic: I just saw the company you work for. I developed the mentality that I have while doing a 14 month bid. I did pretty much the same thing you do only I didn't have permission.

Why is that dumb? What's wrong with a fight? IMHO a fight is better than waking up knowing you are a coward.

Your site is really well done but this seems like more of a feature than a stand alone product. What is the most compelling reason a user would have to use this and not an existing sharing service?

You should read a book called "Blue ocean strategy"; it is about this exact thing. The core part of any disruption in my opinion is to eliminate the value cost trade off. Companies usually compete on 2 grounds; lower price or increased ut

"As long as the site isn't true-blue porn, I wouldn't sweat it. In other words: if the site caters to people looking to hook-up, no big deal. If the site caters to people looking to pleasure themselves, this is perhaps a problem." In my opi

You are very correct and most people feel the way you do even if they wont admit it. I have worked at sever large hookup and dating sites and all the problems are the same. The main one called the 90/10 rule is the root of all their probl

Well, sort of. What I really mean is that I work on apps that are simple on the front end and require lots of heavy lifting (example: Sentiment Extraction from Unstructured Text using Tabu Search-Enhanced Markov Blanket.) on the backend. I

I am working on this problem right now.

I am the exact opposite of you. I can put up entire projects myself (design, code etc...) but when it comes to heavy lifting I try and out source it because even though I can do it, it would take as much time as putting up a whole mobile w

The fact that you got down voted and he has 12 up votes (currently) has really kind of changed how I see the hacker news community. Socially I always knew i didn't "fit in" with the people on this site but the one thing that connected us a

Don't look for ideas, find problems (that more people than just you have) and solve them.

For me its based on progress; if a project is going well and I am constantly being presented with new challenges it does not get boring. If that is not the case then (e.g.: not growing and no progress) then i quit. Quitting is not always

We sent them an email after we pushed the change live. If I could do it over again I would send them an email a week in advance and funnel all the complaints to our support team. The biggest mistake was having nowhere for them to complain

I co-founded a startup called NetWinner. It was a casino style online game that allowed users to win prizes. Everything was absolutely free and users never paid. They just watched ads while they played the game and they could instantly w
