Who determines what is priced 'too highly'? Also, do people have a right to content/things created and sold by others? Whatever happened to going without? If we were talking about clean water, I can get behind saying every person has a right to it.. but with rights comes duties.. though when it comes to the latest TV shows and other things I must admit I'm a little indifferent. An example is here in Australia for the longest time for seemingly arbitrary reasons we've always been very 'behind' America when it comes to showing new episodes of TV shows so many people say that's the reason why they 'pirate' TV shows. Why can't they just wait? Once again, if it was water there is a certain amount of possible time they could wait but when it's the latest episode of House..

Ultimately I would say piracy usually breaks down to people wanting things for free. If we stop looking in our inside circles (Enthusiasts, developers, etc—the 'enlightened') and then look outside at the mythical average man, or, the masses.

Recently someone in my Facebook feed made a comment about loving BitTorrent (Hey, at least he and others are moving on from Limewire) because he could get movies for free. This comment had a few 'lol awsome' words in it. Also, think of how people latch onto "GET RICH QUICK" schemes, late-night ads promising amazing abs at minimal work, etc.

Hell, consider myself too. Back in high school I would pirate a lot of games and finish them. Why? Because I wanted them and didn't always have the money. Note: Throughout my life I've also purchased a ton of games starting back with Hocus Pocus, Raptor and Warcraft. ;) I've long since stopped and now if I want to play a videogame I will either buy it or go without. Take Portal 2 for example, I've been more carefully budgeting my money and am yet to buy it. I haven't died, yet!

I'm surprised to see no one has mentioned Quora on there. Their approach to making anonymity variable based on topic and context, while at the same time requiring real-identity backing it, works well. Users are able to hide their identity as needed while the site can still maintain accountability.

Haha. What do I have to say? I think these people are largely spoiled asses who have no clue about poverty, economics, or even hard work. I think they look at a world that doesn't put quite as much wealth into their pockets as they wish and they see other people with more wealth and they whine about it. I think these people imagine that with more regulation and an even more redistributionist tax system that the world would be just oh so much better and "fairer" and they would get the comfort and riches that they justifiably deserve.

I don't believe that. I think regulation, excessive taxation, and excessive government spending are at the core of our problems, and even a major contributor to the growing disparity of wealth. I think we would be better off with a smaller government, less taxation, and greater individual personal responsibility. I think we'd be better off with a degree of regulation that encouraged individual saving, entrepreneurism, and self-reliance. I don't think people understand how so much of our labor laws and regulations actually increase the power and entrenchment of big corporations. I'd rather see a world where the average worker has little debt (other than real-estate), tends towards freelancing or self-employment, has much more control of their own career advancement, and works as many hours as they want depending on their personal choice of balance of income vs. free time. And I see the "occupy wallstreet" / "99%" demonstrators and their incoherent whining as being actively detrimental toward progress in that direction.

That said, I still support their right to protest peacefully.
> support people are not your janitors. Quit expecting us to spend hours digging through arcane documentation, followed by further hours troubleshooting things that you left half-finished

I am amazed once again at some people's ability to take free stuff and complain that it isn't making them money fast enough.

Just take a few seconds to think about the value we all get out of the deep and broad Free Software stacks. Finding bugs and fixing docs is a part of that process. You're not entitled to any of it, but you're welcome to participate and partake of the fruits.
Whenever you manage to make a specification "simpler" when there are in fact a lot of implementation details you're giving away the chance to modify the behavior of the stuff that is implied.

E.g. think why Google just doesn't buy Oracle servers instead of developing all their software infrastructure -- they wouldn't be able to provide the service they do and they wouldn't earn anything. Whenever you decide that you "don't care" you didn't really remove complexity, you just decided to accept the way the system behaves by default with all the limitations that come from that.

Idealists think that a lot of the details can be "abstracted away" just because they'd rather not think about them, but they are still there and they make the difference.
Wish I could say something like inspiration, grand visions, or something someone a lot cooler would say, but it's my shitty day job. The shitter the day goes at work, the more I am motivated. The more I realize I am smarter than my boss' boss, that most of these people are sheep and I have nothing to show for it, the more I'm driven.

It has gotten so bad that I often look forward to meetings that will make me feel insignificant among a lot more significant yet stupid people who are brown nosing each other to death (corp America). I have on occasion thanked the almighty for putting me in such a shit hole and thus giving me the desire to improve my situation. Satisfaction must be the death of all motivation, because the dissatisfied me is the driven me.

Curious what you guys think of this, since Facebook and the loss of privacy get discussed a lot here on HN.

Basically, I noticed that the life that we seem to be heading towards (where due to face recognition everyone we meet on the street will know who we are and where we live) is not that different from small-town life that people used to have. That wasn't so bad (though it was restrictive), so maybe this brave new world won't be as bad as people fear.

On the other hand, this is on a much larger scale, so the consequences are as yet unknown.
Why so cautious? Are you not hiring programmers at-will? If Im not performing on par with a team, Id leave no hard feelings. The reason I applied is im highly interested in building tools for educators, and currently run a business that sells such tools.
"Device drivers are the spawn of the devil to me and completely unnecessary (thank you Microsoft)."

We sort of had this before Windows. When you bought a printer you had to make sure it had an Epson FX mode to support Wordstar, Diablo 630 to print you invoices and IBM Proprinter to print your mainframe reports. It was a bloody mess.

The Windows printer driver model isn't great and MS appear to recognise this, but things were a lot harder when every application did it's own thing.

Wait a minute, are you talking about people who spent 10,000 hours really trying to get better at their craft, and not just doing their work? It's like natural languages, where you can be immersed 20 years in a country and talk no better than you did 2 months after your arrival.
I think you misunderstood what I was arguing. I am not against someone making _good_ software for money. One only needs to take a look at Humble Bundle that prominently show people will pay for software. 148,194 people have paid a total of $690,575 for a package that is delivered in the way a user wants: No DRM, download straight from the website, heck even integrate with Steam.

There is nothing stopping those 148,194 people from going and pirating those games, but they haven't because people will pay for a product.

Positive some of those people won't even play the games but donated just to support the idea. (I am one of those).
Let's just remember that all the money saved non rehiring people is not lost, it is probably going to increase investments/savings.

And with that, the reality of unemployed people is a bit different. The point, in fact, is finding out why those more savings are not creating new jobs throughout investments.

The way I see it, we are in a period where demand is really difficult to predict and understand. Which brings to more bad investments than usual, which then brings less jobs...

It is a really complex problem, it can't be solved by a web app. Especially it can't be solved with low paid jobs.

Is Dropbox Really The World's 5th Most Valuable Startup?
Say what you will about the trolls; these guys have it figured out. They're targeting people with enough cash to make it go away, but not enough to mount a proper defence. Prior art doesn't enter the picture, as the trolls' targets are unlikely to retain counsel. When it costs as much to retain a lawyer as it does to make the issue go away, it's perfectly rational for the small business owner to pay up and move on. Tragedy of the commons at its finest. It's cynical, reprehensible, and evil, but it's a pretty solid business model.

So many independant stations are struggling trying to sell gas. If there was a market, and an easy system for someone to buy then it would do really well.
> Many felt the software should be bundled with the machine and the current distribution method was Gates' problem. Others questioned the cost of developing software.

So the rebuttals were "it's hard to get" and "it shouldn't cost that much." Man, I heard that somewhere recently...
While I don't know of any specific projects, I have dealt with the problem myself. I can't tell you how many operations applications tried to integrate with BMS, or mapping data from disparate subsidiary systems during an SAP implementation.

At first glance, I think there is probably something to the idea of modular mapping between popular systems. The idea of disrupting the service providers that "assist" with software transitions for huge dollars is compelling. However, if I understand what you are saying, GL mapping is a tedious process that requires both extensive understanding of financial statements (generally) and specific knowledge of the company's current practices (especially if they are public).

Methinks the real value is in automating the mapping, but there is just no way that could happen, without spending just as much time double checking the logic...which means they could have done it manually. IDK...

Best of luck. Go make a 100 million on the idea and prove me wrong :)
That's how programming started for a lot of us. Start playing with transistors, then discover 555s, 741s and discrete logic. Eventually discover micro controllers and start coding in assembly and the C. 10 years down, find yourself managing a large team of developers and you absolutely hate it :)

Microsoft Board criticizes CEO Steve Ballmer for weakened smartphones, Windows
The problem is that writing the code yourself is nice, while tracing/solving bugs in the code of others and fixing docs sucks. Too many free software authors do the nice work and rely on others to do the dirty work. They write code, release it and claim victory, while their code is only barely usable. The problem is that something barely usable is better than something nonexistent, so it gets used and we are stuck with a suboptimal solution. In this respect, free software development constantly gets stuck in a local maximum.
Um… it’s about time, right?
Of course - only sue politicians, the media and anyone else with political influence. Give them 2 options:

1. Pay - where all proceeds will be used to acquire more frivolous patents and lawyers to sue them again

2. Change the law to ban all software patents

I absolutely agree about Range Anxiety if you have only one car, but if you've got a nice gas-powered Audi now, and a diesel F-350 work truck, it's pretty reasonable to get a pure-electric car to leave at the office for daily trips, and maybe to use for commuting. There's no practical way to drive more than 300 miles in the Bay Area per day (unless you just drive it around in circles); I rarely do more than 200.

Ask HN: How to best monetize a website with 1M hits per year?
I'm in the process of buying an information site about parenting, which is one of the largest sites of its kind in Sweden.

Today the site makes about $30,000 in advertising per year from a third party, and that is also the asking price for the site.

I've seen all the numbers and it pans out nicely.

My question is, how do you best monetize a site with 1 million hits per year?

I understand that a lot depends on the market probably, but I'm new to online business and was wondering if there are some general guidelines or best practices.

Thanks!

I think he is probably just very pessimistic. The problem here is that he and many others are preaching to the choir here, namely: us.

At $30 CPM, that sounds pretty amazing already. My guess is that you could only make more by selling things directly on the site.

Another recurring theme seems to be that these people were not shooting for their time's podium, they all seem to be going in a direction that none of their peers were even considering, maybe because they were trying to please themselves only and working for their own self defined standard. Or maybe this could all be filed under honesty, because when you are desperately true to your work you ignore what the rules are.
I was ignorant towards this issue and don't know much about electric cars. But the electricity has to be produced somewhere, right? Transporting electricity isn't free either.

One of the arguments is that by switching the power source to electricity, we can focus on improving our methods of generating electricity, and everything dependent on it will benefit. For example, if we were able to create cars that could got 1000 miles on a gallon of gas, how long would it take to phase out all existing cars?
