Actually the correct analogy to ad blockers would be downloading a free trial/demo and cracking it for own use without paying for it - would you consider that piracy?

Completely agree with you on the points about the risk of brainwashing and impulse buying and people not realising how powerful and dangerous ads can be. I would not go that far and claim all ads are brainwashing and manipulative. Going thi

TV and Web are different channels. I agree that the right analogy is blocking with a cardboard when ads are in show. Is it piracy when crackers remove part of the software that secures it as that annoys people and they only want to use the

The TV ad example is a false analogy. If the page has ads that you don't want to see you can close it(no one forces you to watch it) or go for the toilet break. I agree that people hate ads and people also hate paying for things that c

As someone that has been involved in online publishing for over 10 years I have a strong opinion about ad blockers. In my opinion using ad blockers is borderline piracy. Refusing the content creator his revenue by blocking his ads is little

Or you could have built a list of buyers and survey them on what else they want to learn and have an instant market for your 2nd book since they already like your writing.

I was like this many years ago and managed to fix it. I am strongly considering developing an online course about this and to get some more hands on experience I am happy to help few people for free. If you would like my help please email m

If you want to build a business and not side projects you need business development and marketing. There is a bias(extremely wrong in my opinion) in HN against this and that product is everything but real world business doesn't work like th

I recently finished their ruby foundations and build a basic app with rails and they are both excellent. Very well structured and a pleasant way to learn. They could add more exercises though.
