30% might work in software, but it's is a very deep discount for most physical retailers. If the product has a 50% margin (sells for $100, costs $50 to source) then your retailer m…

Get yourself into a mastermind group with 2-5 others in a similar situation - solo founders, bootstrappers, etc. You can start with just 1 other person then add more. Have a regula…

This! +1 for not letting yourself be pressured by the queue.

Republicans?

The front page is also broken on Safari (7.1.5). The video won't run and when I right click it my browser crashes.

Also - read the "War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. Excellent book about resistance to hitting our goals. Indecision is simply resistance against what you know you should be doing -…

Create a study group or get yourself an accountability buddy or coach who you check in with on a weekly basis. Could even be a friend who's not involved but whom you commit to emai…

To be fair, monkeys eating a bunch of processed lab grade crap is probably a better approximation for the modern human than an optimal diet.

Agreed. This is just empty PR. If the guy was that concerned about privacy he wouldn't sell to the company with one of the worst reputations for privacy. He made the choice and tha…

This!

Not exactly political, but the man has a point. Better explanation here linked from Slashdot here (the actual mailing list site is down.) http://www.muktware.com/5276/linus-torvald…

Is ebay one of those companies? http://www.ebay.com/new Or are they maybe close but not close enough to call out considering the size of their legal department? To be honest, not b…

"...given the contract’s length and its role in the film... a lesser studio or artist might have been tempted to go with several pages of lorum ipsum" So he's basically praising po…

Lol - had to read it out loud.

For all the posts saying Linus is wrong, which he may well be technically, consider this from a layman's perspective. Ortiz recently: "At no time did this office ever seek ... maxi…

I live in London and I have my location set to Recife, Brazil. That way I get 'sunset' around 9pm in the winter - late enough to let me continue working on a bright screen, but ear…

As with most departments, legal works on a continuum. Some coders push buggy code and some coders polish their bits endlessly. The good ones write code that meet the requirements i…

Thanks for posting this. Standard documents are great. Even if you don't get to use them they provide a point of reference for negotiating terms.

Very interesting stuff. Got interested in permaculture a couple years ago, and this seems a great complement in many ways. Obviously much more sustainable than how most people get …

I saw a talk about node.js by Mike Amundsen the other day - he did all his work using http://c9.io/ etc The IDE seemed a bit flaky, but quite powerful - the concept certainly seems…

Or better yet, tap out your Bump login and password with the phone!

Yup 1) I don't get it, so I'm unlikely to think it's brilliant without trying. (So now I need a laptop to upload photos from my mobile?...) 2) I wouldn't download this to try Bump …

I like it. Looks slick and as a native iOs dev I'd strongly consider it when I want to work with more complex web views for rapid iteration. A lot of PhoneGap/Web View apps are sec…
