I think the authors main point is the degree of indifference involved in making something happen. There's a quote I heard Robert Greene give where he said "I'm a firm believer that most people simply prefer to do nothing". The bad side of t

I consider myself an "average" person teaching himself to code and the first thing I did was make a commitment to aggressively imbue the activity into my lifestyle for the 'I need to learn to think like a programmer" reasons you mentioned.

A lot of the conspiracy stuff is based on cult psychology intended to make a buck or simply get the demagogues rocks off with clapping followers. Alex Jones makes his money off being a sensationalist, and mixing truth in with all his subjec

I'm creating a fake account right now for test purposes and apparently you can sell stuff for $0. You can easily test it without actually doing anything "real". As a seller my only issue is the sales link has a Gumroad logo that is kind of

The reason movies get shown in movie theaters is because they help sell popcorn.Helping (local non"AMC" or "Regal" ) theaters make more money via a different film funnel could probably contribute. Maybe finding a mechanism where average peo

I am teaching myself Javascript (and programming) using "Javascript By Example". I like it a lot. However, it doesn't include libraries and DOM/BOM is taught secondary.

I think the notion that the fundamental problem is that "smart" people don't want to be teachers is wrong. I think the real problem is that education simply, for lack of a better way to phrase it, has become more about careerism and a "hust

I use letscrate [dot com] for this. I like the fact that log in is not required and files can can be dragged/dropped. Their UI is a great hook and lure for potentially paying customers.

There's no such thing as a stupid person, just people who are intuitively "smart" in their own interest based on time, place and circumstance. Which is what I think the underline point of the article was, albeit written in a manner with emp

I figure some of these app companies buy there own in app purchases so they can work themselves up into the top grossing (or other) list in the Apple Store and sell more. The feedback loop then becomes the "business model".

I wasn't thinking of hiding the comments to protect the startups public image. I was thinking of protecting the reviewers so they feel they can let loose without any hedging about it.

I used startuplift and made useful changes on my site based on the feedback. It would be cool if they had a private feedback section where reviewers are (empathetically) encouraged to just tear into submissions. Then peel back with the "con

From what I've come to understand the press cases regarding liver problems came from consumers of leave-based manufactured kava pill "products" instead of direct root-based kava consumption. The botany of the leaves is different than the ro
