What kind of pricing are you thinking of, for say, 20 hours / week remote help in maintaining an existing system for a small shop? (LAMP / AWS stack)

I kept expecting it to turn into some kind of message-retention quiz. The kind that would prove we only absorb 10% of what we're shown, or some other counterintuitainment. Nice typography and highlight hue.

In New York State, try the Freelancers Union. http://www.freelancersunion.org/insurance/index.html I used this a few years ago while working for a startup and I got a full plan (comparable to the average full-time job's plan) for half pri

I'd want to hear about the intricacies of their new audio advertising program. What have they learned about listener preferences through tweaking the length, frequency, and targeting of audio ads? Are they making demographic inferences base

I was introduced to Catan during college and we quickly had a weekly game going. The interplay of luck and skill is intrinsically woven into the gameplay, which kept things very dynamic. The "wheeling/dealing" aspect of the bartering keeps

Well, all I know is I enjoyed the article and that I believe I can find value and knowledge from disparate sources regardless of their topical relevance. I also realize that HN is trying to remain topically focused. To much of the world,

Shot in the dark: Maybe there's a connection between the narrator's struggle and an entrepreneur's struggle. Both seem to enjoy the fight to overcome mediocrity and strive for their goals despite hardships and constraints, but the narrator'

Wow.... for what it's worth, I was laughing out loud. He'd get better traction over at reddit, though.

All I can offer here is a personal observation: Many times in my life when I've asked people for advice in choosing between several options, I've found myself secretly hoping they'd guide me to a certain option... hmm... When I was a teenag

I think they are referring to the fact that students new to programming learn to "always" rely on stringing together pre-existing libraries (namely in Java) rather than gaining experience by creating some functionality, algorithms, etc. fro

I am in a heavy brainstorming phase as of late, thinking and mulling over various "idea areas" that pertain to my domain, software I would use, etc. Not really a set process though... But much to my delight a few days ago, I was with a fr

Wow... really cuts to the heart. I am guilty of some of these "productive procrastinations" as well (including the beloved HN) and find that when I close all not-super-necessary tabs (even gmail), I can focus way more on the famous 20% stuf

Thanks for that. I am so prone to the endless tweaking of design minutiae rather than the much more effective sculpting of functionality and usability. I will try to follow your advice! The part about word choices and font-hue really hit ho

Wow... I saw this movie a few weeks ago when a friend interviewed Nina Paley and she gave him a copy of the DVD. She was lamenting the fact that she couldn't get funding to buy rights to use the great 20s music in the film. What a pleasant
