Lately I have been doing some side projects as well as contract work and it seems I'm not really producing code at an efficient rate. For one project I estimated that I could wrap …

> Engagement is inversely correlated with CTRs Which is exactly why more CPA ad systems are needed. That's the best way I see to allow everyone to get their interests in line.

You could burn yourself out much faster with a $0 salary over a number of years though.

The risk is higher for younger people.. and yet so many more younger people are successful? Hm.

and by salary you mean - no family/spouse to support.

Decisions...

I disagree. The usage was very different. Oh, and I upvoted you by accident. Damn.

> Most of Myspace's user base (and thus value) was added since the acquisition. Nah, the hot young promiscuous girls were there from early on.

Senior project, of course. Most all of the undergraduate courses focused on analysis . I hated that! Let me design stuff already!

Yeah, had girlfriend cook before... but that will never be "for free". Before that, mom. Now, pre-cooked chicken from the microwave. And beer. Too much beer.

Depends. Does it serve alcohol?

Think of it this way: you don't have nearly as much to lose as you once thought. On the other hand, you'd better start living a good life now, because while you're alive is all you…

Better to live a day as a lion... you know the rest. Maybe I'm not old enough, maybe it's because I don't have a family, but I'd rather do something few others have done than just …

credit card verification? Sounds like a porn site. That's a terribly unmarketable idea.

Unless valleywag changed their post, I see nothing wrong with what they posted there. In fact, the above reply is more inflammatory. That said, the reversal to a payed model seems …

No no no. Fake profiles are still a huge problem. Facebook handled it early on by severely limiting their audience but that solution simply would not work for hotornot. You tell me…

brand dilution.

How is that not exactly what I said?

Your blog is very optimistic. You'll need that:) This is an interesting topic. I'm always trying to learn more about what other people do for publicity. I get really tired of all t…

news.yc is a "social networking" site... I'd try to lose that buzzword, but the concept of making sites that users can communicate over is still pretty solid.

I don't know, I start to change for the worse when I isolate myself from all people while programming for a very long time. Good thing we have the internet these days.

Interesting, but this is just stupid: > Here's a tip. If you want to make money, why not offer something of real value to your visitors like a product or service. Provide content t…

"There are strict taboos against money that isn't earned with sweat from the brow" A relative of mine grew up with many orientals and she too holds this attitude. It seems very str…
