I don't know about you guys, but this is called Hacker -News-, not Hacker 'Ignore the News'. Just like you said, he'll be in office for a while, so things will die down. Until then embrace the articles and discuss them. Otherwise, introduce

Proof that success (at least in whatever past-life he came from) and wealth do not equate to good taste. I like the library though.

I'm a student and I live in an apartment near the University of Texas campus, working just a few feet from my bed. Freelancing to pay the bills, and my start-up stuff to exhaust whatever surplus I have, which is--thankfully--a lot more late

Congrats on the progress so far. However, I think you really need to focus on making the purchase page more structured towards helping the buyer make a proper decision. Right now it's a sea of text and a row of prices. I'm inclined to ignor

And on a side note: ALWAYS take the blame when something goes wrong, even if it's not your fault. A good client will appreciate that you have the balls to claim the fault is yours which will actually improve your relationship, and bad clien

Find one client at a low rate and please the hell out of them. Then find another client, but increase your rates. Do the same; do anything it takes to get the job done ahead of schedule and to make the client as impressed as possible. Event

It depends if he wants to focus on a more broad market or specifically at people looking to get bigger and weigh more. Overt-raining is a great way to build muscle fast without the use of drugs, focusing on a small amount of reps that make

A great example of a good use of screenshots is HN member pxlpshr's company Salt Lick Labs ( http://saltlicklabs.com/ ). He is only marketing the iPhone apps, but there is a level of polish that makes you want to see more, even though you

The point is to be a sort of Google algorithm for Twitter. This is plenty of data to at least get a very solid idea of who the top Tweeters are based on their connections, influence, and popularity. Also, keep in mind he scraped the TOP Twi

The difference is most of those games realistically cost over $100M to develop, and World of Goo most probably cost under $100,000. Just goes to show how stale the gaming industry is; even when a large-scale game like Mirrors Edge is releas

Excellent! I've met with Philip (I'm redesigning his division's website here at the University of Texas) and he told me about this project. I didn't expect it to be mobilized this soon. Sounds promising. :)

According to my affiliate marketer friends, Myspace is one of the only reliable sources of relatively cheap traffic. Google and Facebook are getting tougher to buy it cheap from.

There's a lot to learn about affiliate marketing at http://wickedfire.com . There are tons of affiliates to converse with and also several affiliate network CEO's who post there. It's not uncommon for many affiliates here to make more than

My partner and I are going to remake http://jobzor.com . We were originally looking to make a job board and internship recruiter as a Facebook App, but it's just not our thing and there is enough competition in the market already for that.

I assume it's less. AdSense was roaring more so back in 06' but has settled and matured now. A lot of publishers who minted earlier on are now looking for better alternatives once more.

His site is so simple that if every action takes you to a new page it almost feels seamless. Most other sites make sure the convenience of taking you where you want in one click is accounted for, but for a site running off of AdSense, more

Your products are shipping out to be great man. I really appreciate the follow on Twitter @stevenkovar. The company's site looks really sharp as well. Simple and to-the-point. Keep it up!

I have a hunch he could spend a day or two sending out personalized emails to each person, be it one paragraph or a page in length. He's in the business of building people to be stronger marketers; he's not doing much a service to them in t

My handwriting has been very neat and tight. I write in cursive and in pencil, since being left-handed is horrible with pens, but people complain about it being too small and too light. Woe is me? :P

That's as much as you make in one day. If he's as picky of an artist as I am, he spends several days on a design. Then there's the fact his skill set is highly specialized, thus providing the luxury of a higher price per project. When you c

This post and the video sickened me. I think everyone had good points, but the panel (people we're supposed to respect?) would yell and change topics when someone made an actual valid point. The one comment about 'Americans need to apprecia
