I honestly think this site is fabulous. DISCLOSURE: It is not my site. Although I think the idea is less novel than others, I think the presentation is great. I haven't seen as smooth a UI/UX in a while. Overall, I think the site is pretty

I said this the first time this site was posted. It is brilliant and helpful. It is actually the first helpful site I have found here on HN for my personal life.

I talk to a few close friends to get some ideas, but I don't rely on their excitement to give me an indication of how worthy an idea it is. Validation comes from actually getting it done and having people pay/use it.

OP here. I actually haven't done any until recently. I just sold a musician FB likes at 100%+ cost I paid to get them. Might pay the bills..

You might try once a month. Do a poll and see how people would react. you have been so honest thus far, I think continuing to say that it will be very difficult to continue with the existing profit margin will allow subscribers to take a hi

I do not think college will help you. Put the effort into teaching yourself C/C++, PHP, and Python. You can get the books you would have to read while in school anyway. Then, build a resume of products you have developed. If you have been a

Hi, first of all, I sympathize and understand exactly where you are coming from...actually in more ways than you may imagine. I have to agree that the major is not always the end-all. In fact, many programmers I know tell me that school tau

My takeaway from the article is that yoga, like any other physical activity, can be dangerous when one does not know how to do it properly, but more importantly, has too large an ego to know when to quit/pause. I've been doing yoga for only

This totally ignores the fact that people who go to college are more likely to be ambitious and career oriented / smarter. It totally skews all of these results..

Well because you are just helping customers implement certain small features, I'd say you might have a niche consulting position here. Market it like that 1 feature = $X, any 2 features = $Y, and 3 or more features implemented = $Z From you

I guess I'll just use December to summarize the entire year. As a non-technical co-founder I helped acquire 5-figure investment from a billion-dollar hedge fund, organize a team to form another bootstrapped one and came very close to closin

Who cares. The genius part about Hacker News is that it is democratic (mostly). If it is a good thread/discussion then the people want to keep it even if it is off topic. My two cents anyway...

Jimmy, let me clarify. When I say making sure that US citizens are always in the know, I mean that the resources are almost always available for those who would like to be in the know. With regard to your comment about having informed opini

I'm not so sure we even need a congress anymore. Honestly...hear me out. The purpose of congress is to provide representation for American citizens who could not travel to Washington D.C. to vote on the bills and amendments that congressmen

I think this business model is similar to that of the self-publishing model. The two main parties in any published work are 1) the author and 2) the reader. The publisher, agent, distributor (book store) etc. are all intermediaries that hav

I just started on the same path as you (although I am not a designer). You have a distinct advantage so you're good to go. I used this resource initially despite the date (pre-HTML5) http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp I would also

Hey Jason, I'd like to help you out. This seems like a really cool idea. I lived in Europe and traveled extensively while living there. Can you send me an email? It is in my profile..
