Yeah, the 'no excuses' part was more in the vein of "you have no excuses not to learn something."

This is actually a common misconception. No matter how much you donate (or a corporation donates), you'll still end up net negative.

Wait...75 dollars on 33k page views from ad sense? Is that normal?

When my website hit the front page, I got around 60k visits. I was getting about 2k regularly before then. Short blog post about it: http://noexcuselist.com/blog/effects-of-hackernews-and-futur...

As others have said, you should put your email in your profile. I have something you might be interested in, but I have no way of contacting you.

I guess there's a couple of reasons why I haven't gone that route: 1) I'm not technically skilled. I work as a banker, so in order to make some of these changes, I'd have to find someone who can do it who I trust. I'll most likely start sea

Yes, that happens to be the only one I have at the moment. I have 2-3 photography ones that fit under art as well... I was also looking for art history for my own interests, and that seems to be hard to come by too.

Hey, thanks for the link. I've looked pretty hard for sites that teach cooking and they're pretty hard to come by! The cooking for engineers has been the best one that I've seen. Its surprising that there's not better resources. I didn't wa

Thanks for the suggestions. I agree with you on all of those points. I think for the next version, it would be great to have icons and more of a description. As of right now, if you hover over the link, it'll explain what the website is foc

I'm a big fan of Memrise. I think one of the best features is that it uses the community to suggest ways of remembering a word. People remember things differently, so if you have to see a picture of a baby crying with his mouth open to reme

This is basically what I was thinking about doing earlier. "This is actually something I was thinking about. For instance, say someone wants to learn Ruby. They could go to noexcuselist and find a step-by-step process that someone has made

I agree with you on 'picking one' and sticking to it. Maybe I should highlight one source for each that I strongly recommend or something? Also, thanks for the heads up about the Dreamspark link. Looks like windows recently redirected it to

Hey guys, I'm the creator of the site. Thanks for posting it Joel! I've been trying to delicately balance the line between too many links versus not enough links. I created this site in the first place because I had seen tons of these "best

Maybe there is and I just haven't heard about it. I haven't been looking in that area at all. That's a great idea though, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Its great to know that networking and meeting developers at meet ups can lead to partnerships. I will be looking out for these events in my area. I'm working as a IB analyst at the moment, so I'm always a bit worried a

What was your role at Goldman? IB Analyst? Ops? Did that experience help you with starting this business? Did you have programming/web design skills beforehand or did you join up with a technical co-founder? How did you guys meet? Thanks

I would like to know as well. It's hard to find anything going through the usual routes (ventureloop, etc)

Can't find a business co-founder? That's pretty unusual it seems. What kind of work do you expect your business co-founder to do?

I thought this guy was an "executive director"? I think a lowly VP writing something like this wouldn't make nearly the splash he is making right now. A story like this is a nightmare to GS though. They've always prided themselves on valuin

What kind of work will you be doing? I'm in a similar situation (M&A side though), and I'm not sure what kind of value I could bring to a tech firm without the coding skills that are needed in a early stage startup.

This is correct. It would be a huge event if Apple started paying dividends and I'm fairly certain the market would not react kindly to that. The reason is, the market is pricing the Apple stock high due to what they think is coming in the
