    This isn't true, there's lots of legitimate ways to bring in passive income if you know the right niches to explore. Look at this screenshot of my Adsense earnings for last month, …

    Ask HN: Why don't we have laptops with adjustable screen height?

    I travel a lot, and like a fairly compact and light laptop in the 14" range. My problem though, it's difficult to sit in a comfortable position. When your desk and chair are at the…

    Fake product reviews are popular as well. They'll do a top 5 write-up where their product, or the one offering the highest paid commissions is first, followed by 4 real products in…

    I agree it's a skill, and hopefully over time you have a better understanding of what ideas are more likely to succeed. However, I don't think anyone out there can guarantee a grea…

    You're basically buying tweets at that point, and I'm completely against the concept. I go the exact opposite route with my community and promise users they'll never have to jump t…

    How would this work though? If their secret message is a coupon code, or URL, they need to check server side the number of times it's been activated, or accessed. Otherwise, it's g…

    How is this a good thing? You want users to visit a promo page, where they're forced to retweet the content before getting access? This sounds awfully familiar to those sites that …

    It's an interesting concept, However, I'm struggling to figure out a situation where it would be useful. There might be something here, just not in it's current state, and for that…

    He just misinterpreted the previous comments. When developers were saying 20% of their time goes to managing clients and 80% to coding, he thought they were implying stirring up bu…

    Agreed. How involved is he going to be outside of finding clients? Who's going to be the one going to meetings, drafting up invoices, working the phones, and constantly relaying up…

    Agreed. Go buy a cheap template, and set it up in an afternoon. If the site begins to gain traction and has potential, then invest in something a little more customized. This only …

    I stumbled into a lucky situation maybe 5 years ago. I posted a topic on a development forum mentioning my services and linking to a couple of examples. I received a few responses,…

    Try releasing early. When I work on personal projects and drag them out to perfection or until they have every feature I originally envisioned, they never get finished. I redesign …

    Click on show larger plans , which go up to 20 million monthly page views at $299/mo. I'd need roughly 60 million page views, so $900/mo, although they'd probably cut a wonderful d…

    I run a couple of sites that generate 2 million page views a day. Using their prices, I'll be spending more on font subscriptions than the two dedicated servers I'm running. It's a…

    When I said I haven't looked for a free host in a decade, and don't know what kind of competition has appeared since then, that wasn't advice to pursue a business. The debate was w…

    Also, part of the gap is finding a payment method for $3/mo. Kids don't have credit cards of paypal accounts. Lots of parents don't want to sign-up for this mysterious thing called…

    Thanks for the video. One interesting point, they're determining the price based on their knowledge of wine, and how much a wine of that variety, grown in that particular region sh…

    Seems about right. I don't imagine your average radio station is generating a fortune.

    Agreed. If you want static text pages, go back to the 90s. We didn't feel very connected then, and there wasn't a big sense of community. It was mostly people publishing static pag…

    Plan B is important with AirBnB. I'm staying in an apartment right now I found on there (Prague as well), and it worked out well. However, like you said renting an apartment from a…

    Here's the plan... Pretend you invested $3k in servers and SSDs. Add these services to your site, and try to find your first customer. The bad news, you'll never find them. The goo…
