I think I must be missing something here. Don't people set their screens to higher resolutions because they want to see more stuff on their screen. I always assume that people set their resolutions such that they can read normal-sized (12

It doesn't seem like anyone's problems are really being solved. I accomplish all of this with Hacker News, Delicious, Digg, and my own browser bookmarks. If I tried to become involved in every company whose products I use, I would not have

I got two engineering degrees (ME and EE), and you know what I learned? I learned that engineering is an amazing field and a boring career (for me anyway)! So, I started doing something else. I now own two companies and in the 6 months sinc

That looks like an excellent idea and very well executed. I really liked that it literally only took 1 click to vote (as opposed to usual where you have to click the radio input, and then click a submit button). I have two suggestions for i

I was in your exact same boat, though I stopped just shy of multivariate calculus in High School, and after the first 2 calc classes, took statistics and whatnot. Anyway, I would suggest staying in high school and enjoying it. I ended up on

Ayn Rand's philosophy is that of a free economy that stresses the importance of the individual. A democracy is a political institution that stresses the rule of the majority. Rand idealized the self-sustaining individual. A democracy by def

I think that according to Rand, fairness is a moot point when it comes to this situation. She is saying that if you are capable of achieving wealth, then you will achieve it no matter where you start from in our society. She also explains t

Yes you are crazy. And yes, I say do it. It seems the vast majority of the time, that the less crazy an idea is, the less it's worth doing. Also, I'm an entrepreneur in Ann Arbor, MI, which could be an option for a closer stop if you want t

I don't think you would enjoy reading Rand (either you haven't yet read any of her work and are going based solely on what you read in this thread, or you just completely didn't understand her work). As she argues, money is a means of tradi

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely be sure to resubmit it down the road on a Friday afternoon (I also have to remember to keep in mind the time difference between me [EST] and the vast majority of Hacker Newsers). And, yes, that is ex

Ayn Rand was able to name so much of what I've felt growing up. While she may have used the literary technique of exaggeration to heighten the contrast between her philosophical views of moral vs. immoral, I don't think she took it "too far

I'm also finishing Atlas Shrugged finally this week, having just finished The Fountainhead. Next on my list is Anthem, then I think I'll go back to some non-fiction for the next couple books... like Outliers and Capital and Freedom.

This looks really cool, I would definitely be one of your target market if I still worked at my job (which I quit half a year ago to focus on my own startup). I now use Apple iWork 09 almost exclusively, so as soon as you come out with a Nu

This really isn't a tough market to get into, as long as you have the experience and portfolio to back up your skills. As many people as are in it right now, the market is still booming. I do a lot of sub-contracting (I'm better at B2B sale

I am in a very similar situation as you are. We have a very niche product that we sell to higher-ed. We sell it as a subscription model, which we allow them to pay X years upfront with a contract so that it more closely resembles a fixed-co

Agreed that personal contacts and relationships are your best bet. Beyond that, we use Google Alerts to RSS feed + LeadNuke for a continuous stream of new client leads. (disclosure: I developed LeadNuke expressly for this purpose)

This is definitely a first. Is 0 comments a good thing or bad? Usually this site is great for its constructive criticism.

This is great. I have already setup my couple-page-long capistrano scripts to setup my slices, but this would have definitely prevented me from needing to do that. I'd also like to see a munin package install (with Rails-specific plugins).

I'd recommend keeping "kick-ass" on the homepage if it reflects your, and thus your company's, attitude.
