because it seems like half the time, companies are partially bought for the talent...so if you can get a much better developer it helps adds to the valuation. but yeah quite often it seems like these companies with thousands of developers..

yeah but then all you have to do is get hit by a virus specifically designed for that one password manager and you lose everything

wow that's a whole other level of fraud.

NYC is a bad example, the real estate costs really sky rocketed over the past 25 years or so...so it's very possible that someone could have gotten one of those buildings on a $40K/yr teacher's salary. Good luck doing that in this day and a

yeah you'd think they'd want the CEO to be able to 100% focus on their startup If for example the CEO's wife lost her job...$150K is suddenly not that much for a family. Do you really want your CEO to do consulting on the side to pay the bi

you really need to set your expectations lower...give it at least 24 hours to hear back from them

why should Google get involved? seems like an overreach.
38.
by vaksel 14y ago
yes...but I'd bet they have a lot more recourse if they are a major Google customer...if a bug lowers your rankings..tough...but if you are a customer it'll get resolved.

my guess is that their research shows that at those prices they make the most money and by them I mean Amazon...not the author. A <$10 kindle purchase for Amazon...means that the person will spend extra to bring the cart up to $25 to ge

yes...but all those stories would have boosted GoDaddy by quite a bit in rankings in Google My guess is that this change is temporary and that someone at GoDaddy is calling their Google rep...and we'll see a fix shortly. GoDaddy actually us

could you write up a blog post for the author's experience with the publisher(i.e. reports/promos they did, your earnings per book etc).

well his revenue isn't over...most of that is fixed cost...his variable cost is very little. So a year from now, that same book will still bring in similar revenues(he just has to keep up with the promos). Meanwhile he can write 4 more book

noone picks numbers out of thin air. they do a/b testing to see what gets the most revenue. Usually at $9...you only sell twice as much as you do at $30...so you actually lose money. That's because to most people $30 or $9 makes very little

yeah agreed...I mean Yahoo bought Flickr for 35 million...so how is Instagram worth 28x that.

Musk started Space X at 30...and I seriously doubt Zuckerberg will be doing anything on that level in the next 3 years.

yeah you shouldn't need to have friends inside Google to get basic customer service

Youtube is a whole different kind of animal though.

by vaksel 15y ago
this only makes sense if its recurring income(i.e. subscriptions) and if you aren't depending on any other service for that income. if your $5K/mo comes mostly from Google traffic you can lose everything overnight. i.e. I have a friend who

i'd say manually, since part of their job is to put the resumes together.

supporting opposition to bills like this is only the first step. there needs to be a campaign to make them pass a law or even an amendment to the constitution to prevent them from trying to slip by when noone is looking they only need to ge

how do we know he did it just by following the program...and not by hiring a personal trainer and a personal chef...or by simply doing 4 hours of exercise every day? since the other co-founder is a personal trainer...I'd imagine it was a bi

business credit card...but I'd imagine, as long as the credit card # is different, the name itself shouldn't matter

There are hundreds of alternatives...none of them seem to get any major traction. Most of it is due to the fact that only a tiny portion of people are actually affected...and because these alternatives offer much lower quality of advertiser

by vaksel 15y ago
alternatively, Google can be slapped with a class action lawsuit I know their emails always say "we've refunded your money to the advertiser"...but has anyone seen proof of this? Any of you that advertise with Adwords Content...ever see a r

I had a similar thing happen to me...to a point. It was with adwords...it was back when I was just getting started and I did affiliate marketing. I promoted this weight loss clickbank book...it didn't pan out, so I paused the ads. My mistak

it takes a while for carfax to receive info...so you flip it the moment you get it out of the body shop, you shouldn't be affected by it but a lot of times the crashes don't affect the value that much...not many people actually use carfax.

only if you use the car exclusively for the business, and have a separate car that you use for your personal stuff. + I heard that deducting car leases is a huge red flag for the IRS.
58.
by vaksel 15y ago
leasing costs way more. cars lose the most value in the first 3 years. So in those 3 years, you'll lose 50% of the car's value. Since leasing is basically just covering the cost of depreciation...you end up on the hook for the biggest loss

I think that's been true in the past, but it's going to change as more and more college students end up moving back in with their parents after college.

I guess i should have mentioned that this relies on you actually having a good relationship with your kids. So try to avoid beating them for fun...and you'll be fine. I'm not talking about relying on your kids to pay your bills etc...but mo
