    The Netflix of books...

    I had thought of mentioning that, but different circumstances. Groupon's business model isn't that good. Basically, they get a bunch of retailers to take a massive loss on some products or services in exchange for being listed in Groupon. If a business resists, they pull out the "your...

    How do you bounce back?

    EXECUTION 
    Meditation and practicing gratitude are excellent. Do you exercise regularly? If not, start that. Make sure your diet is good as well. As for your startup: it's time to pivot. I would say most of your issues are dealing with disappointment and failure. This is incredibly common in start ups...

    Opinions on Market Samurai?

    Such as? I came across MS, like many, thanks to SPI. Their urgency and price anchoring seems to be effective. I realize using the keyword planner and Majestic are cheaper, but if there's a good intro tool, I'd like to know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The next gold rush - IoT (internet of things)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is definitely a place to look for opportunities. Whenever some new start-up appears on HN that is "teching up" something, the conversation always turns to security concerns. The challenge is making a system that's secure, but is easy enough for the general population to use. HTTPS stands...

    Is Capitalism Moral?

    I've got mixed emotions about this one. I think most of his points are good, but there's a bit too much ideology here for my liking. Portraying the government as some kind of boogie-man tends to ignore history. A 100% free market will not remain pure for long, human greed will see to that. I...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Learning to code is definitely not stupid given that software is eating the world. But, as has been said, learning to code to be an entrepreneur is not a good idea. If you think you can learn to code (and code well) in a few months, read Peter Norvig's article on the matter. However, if you...

    How to validate an idea

    IDEA 
    The absolute cheapest way possible. Craigslist, landing pages, and Kickstarters are great, but they (can) take time to build traction. If you can find a local group that has your market in there, go there in person with your prototype and show them. If you get a reaction like "shut up and take...

    Hi there! From an author and software developer

    INTRO 
    Welcome! I like this quote a bit: "I wrote Mastering Modern Payments: Using Stripe with Rails because I saw so many people doing so many terrible things with their payment systems, just for lack of knowledge." I think it's an excellent example of how profitable aiming for a fine grain niche...

    I know, competition is a good thing since it means there is a market.

    Thanks for the information! That gives me a few areas to start looking at once I've vetted the idea.

    IDEA 
    My wife and I sometimes find ourselves at the end of the day, looking to make a meal, but not knowing what to make given the ingredients we have. I was considering building an tool that would offer up a selection of recipes given a set of ingredients or a desired time. Over time, if this has...

    Who is FIREBIRDZ?

    INTRO 
    Why do you do these activities? What was the path that led you too them, as opposed to other activities? Have you seen benefits from them? If you have, others will as well. Living a healthy life is an area a lot of people are interested in. Who can you serve with this?

    4 hours of work every day & a lot of moneyz, possible?

    HOT! 
    So, my comment may have been viewed as snarky, and that was not the intent. A key aspect of the 4 Hour Work Week is that it changes the definition of work. A lot of people hold the definition that work is anything you do that other people pay you for. 4HWW breaks that definition down into things...

    I'm assuming you've just read Feriss's book? Make sure you understand exactly what he means by "work".

    Progress Thread: Losing Weight

    HEALTH 
    I can't echo this enough. Around 7 years ago, I started a 2 year weight loss process in which I dropped 100 lbs. I've kept it off. I did this by changing my diet to eating more plants and drinking more water. I did this by weighing myself every week. I was already working out regularly. Once I...
