This has been an amazing thread but there really is a pattern that is hard to follow for webmasters. In the case of the original site couldn't Google have just de-indexed the "extra" pages but left the the index page alone since it is indeed useful?

Also, how did his site get canned but others like sportslinkup.com, which is an ebay affiliate spam site cloaked as a link directory, have over 7 million indexed pages and 8 million indexed images (all hosted by ebay, not the sports site) and it gets over half a million Google visitors per month (according to compete.com)?!? I think the sports site is even scraping Google for keywords, it's full of examples of what not to do, but it's been sailing along for years with Google approval, or at least no automated detection.

The fine line between sites getting canned and sites getting MASSIVE traffic for essentially the same thing is very confusing.
Creating a Startup Around a Domain Name – An Interview With Get.com
I thought the > on the first page was connected to the email submission thing. I didn't notice it at first. I didn't click it. I only knew to click it after reading another comment here about the little circles and then I saw both < and >, and realised they were clicky.

Suggestion: Make the extra pages much easier to find, make the < and > more discoverable, make the little circles more obvious.

Yes mate, my logic was the same as yours ... I got fed up with being tired in the evenings and decided that my startup deserves the best of me, and my day job deserves just "regular" me

Evenings are for time off with my partner, we play ps3 together and generally relax ... I also spend the evenings reviewing my own code / doing administration and billing and other non brain intensive things ... makes for a good work/life balance

As long as we're running our software on a Von Neumann machine, there will be a need for a language which is just a thin layer on top of it. Considering we already have one, it seems hard to believe that it will go away without a fundamental change in how computers work. (Which is not to say we won't have better languages - just that we will always have the bare-metal one as well)
Really true. I'm currently working on a project where the deadline is fix but the code upon we build is bad :/
As a result, code doesn't get better, more code is being done and refactoring is not top priority.

You're unlikely to learn php AND machine learning in a short amount of time. You should find someone to work with.

Move to a tech hub. If you're not committed enough to do that, you will have a tough time finding someone who'll build a product for you.

And learn to code anyway. You won't turn into a ninja any time soon, but it's another way to prove you're committed and technical partners can't bullshit you.

Most importantly, build your product without the machine learning. Do it manually. Do it in wordpress. It's just marketing content, right? If you're one of the best, you can prove the concept without code, then get someone to automate that.
UEFA imposes three matches ban on Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney, the 25 year old England National Team player has been banned for three matches by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) as the striker given a red card for poking into Montenegro’s player on last Friday. During Montenegro Vs England 2-2 drawn Euro 2012 qualifier on last Friday Rooney poked Dzudovic on his calf sending the player uncontrollable.
I'd argue business owners don't work just 40 hours a week on their business. 60 minimum in my experience, even more in those early days.

Year 1, Building the business,
Year 2, Adapting the business,
Year 3, Improving the business.

That's my take on it.
Who cares if it's technically possible not to store a password in plain text even though it's in an e-mail?

For one, I do. There's a world of difference between handing a http post and storing passwords in the clear in the db.

If they're sending passwords in plaintext they're incompetent and not to be trusted, especially for this kind of service. Ouch.

I pretty much agree, but stand by my point that sending a password in a confirmation email is the lesser of the two evils.
I dont work on a single "Next Big Idea" .. I have several small projects that I am advancing, all of which use A.I. somehow, because that's what I'm interested in, that's what I love.

Some projects are:
Optimal restaurant placement in large cities (based on demand and existing restaurants)

Prediction of mechanical failures in industrial systems (sorry I cant be more specific on this point) .. basically I predict mechanical failures based on MASSIVE amounts of sensor data so a technician can perform preventative maintenance on the equipment. This gives my client a huge competitive advantage because their equipment appears to never break down.

I wrote a sales prediction software for a large food company in Australia that predicts sales based on some important external factors (cant specifically mention them) but it gives them much better inventory management.
I want to make new friends. Let's have a read of the blurb:

>GROOOVY LETS YOU MEET
>NEW FRIENDS COMFORTABLY
>AT YOUR OWN PACE.

That's exactly what I need; nice and gentle and not scary. I am your target users. I'm not looking to date or hook up; I'm not sketchy or skeezy. So, who are these people? Where do they come from? What's the "pool of people"?

>Join or create customized
>events. Chat with the people you'll meet, check-in and add
>them as friends. Finish off your event experience by
>writing your first thoughts of each other.

Wait, what? I have no idea who these other people are. Are they all just randoms that sign up to your service? How do I know they're not crazy axe-murderers? Are they taken from Facebook or some such? Do we pay to join? Do we pay to send messages? Let's say I set up and event: Do I just ping people and ask if they want to go? Or does my event get listed and other people say they'd like to turn up? What happens if Bob (a made up name) has been to an event and I HATE HIM? Can I not let him see events I create? Can I filter events Bob goes to?

Is this actually an investor who invests in deals? The domain is hidden behind a Florida privacy service and there's no name(s) attached to the book that's being peddled. Even the PayPal checkout shows only "TPE" as the seller.

Okay, but who are they? What firms? The post appears to be just teasers for getting you to buy the PDF. Even the PDF only has recommendations from anonymous positions at anonymous companies. If they really are VCs they should give the PDF away for free and get their name out there as the honest VCs. However, that goes counter to their assertion that "MOST" of their own dealings use the very trickery that they claim to expose.
The point I was trying to make is that I don't think you become an expert in running a business in the same way you can become an expert in programming or playing the piano. Running a business is too dynamic where the 10,000 hour skills are more static in nature.

The only way to make wordpress fast and responsive is to bypass wordpress entirely.

You don't need to do anything complex - just install wp-super-cache, set a long timeout, and most importantly add the .htaccess rules it generates to bypass wordpress entirely and serve the cached static files directly.

Righto. Fair enough. I just have a general aversion to these sorts of rules, mostly because there are around a ton of exceptions .. to the point where one wonders about it all.

You may have more expertise in this, so deferring it to your good judgment. I was delimiting my stuff to the Gladwell book which attacks " mastery ".
Imitating their parents.
Something that I believe is quite deep in our brains, children can't help it. My daughter imitates how my wife picks up the phone when she answers a call. It is hilarious they are a perfect little mirror for all the things you constantly do. They copy them like a true comedian, overdoing the most significant aspect and dismissing the "context" that make you feel normal while usually doing them.

With game programming there's a definite apogee of "code that needs to be done right," reached as the majority of the game features are integrated and gameplay is proven.

Before you hit that point, you're mostly getting things wrong, so you build it to 80% correct and when it breaks you refactor to 90%, 95%, etc., until you've hit the needed quality bar. (With experience you can get it "righter" on the first pass, of course.)

Once you cross the apex you can start doing a mix of "cowboy coding" and pure low-level maintenance(bugfixes, optimization) to tighten things up for the user, because you have confidence in it being stuff that builds on a stable core. The hacks end up being the lowest-cost solution because the proper thing would effectively be a "99.xx%" refactor, getting more correct than you need and disturbing tons of decent, working code to fix the one problem. The game ships and then you rip it all apart for the next one anyway, so you never need that last bit.

The trick with the code written for the 48 hour game jam games is to set the apogee point much earlier than normal, and live with lower quality implementation where possible(since you have control over game design, it's typically easy to find areas to sacrifice quality). It is very much in the Forth philosophy - do more by doing less.

However, I get the feeling that improved - and especially more domain-specific - languages are the next step, because they allow the early stages of the project to be more correct from the start with less trial-and-error. You would reach more 9's in fewer iterations. This is borne out by the TCP/IP DSL paper ( http://www.oru.se/PageFiles/15389/Yan%20Wang%20Lic%20FinalVe... )

Don't get me wrong, I have got a bit of a bad tab habit that I'm trying to break. It's all too easy to open loads of them, never to read the content. In the meantime they just use resources.

I think having lots of tabs open isn't good for focus, but that's another topic.

What I was getting at, is that I believe we use tabs as bookmark replacements. Which is stupid because bookmarks are cheap. This shows a flaw in the browser.

To me it's the browser UI that let's you down. If bookmark management were better, you might not use the tabs.

Back to the spatial memory, I have a better grasp of tabs when they bunch - ala Opera and Chrome than when they scroll. I get lost in Firefox pretty quickly, the newer tab management features just don't work for me.

I don't see why you can't have a mix of live tabs, and frozen tabs.

After using Gmail for years - I'm going back to a desktop client rather reluctantly, just because it doesn't use much in the way of system resources while idling.

I was a fan of tabs initially, but in some ways I've gone off them. I'd like the window manager to look after multiple windows better, rather than use tabs.

I'd love to see some radical development in the browser UI.

The unsaid thing about freedoms is you cannot exercise them unless you have the means to do so. If you don't have that, the only value freedoms afford you is aspirational.

Given that the potential to do something is worth a whole lot less than the activity itself, it's easy to see why FOSS is in is current state and will remain that way for a long time.
I didn't find that setting screen. Definitely didn't see that in Settings/iCloud. I wonder how you get to that... I only had a chance to briefly look at my roommate's 3GS on iOS 5; won't be on iOS 5 myself until my 4S arrives later today.
I didn't quit my full time job but I got fired and ironically (although it still sucks to be fired) I am happy that they let me go because now I can work full time on my independent projects. I am poor at the moment as well and live with my parents, although I have a feeling that some of my projects are going to work out and when that happens, I will be much happier to work for myself rather than at another company.

If you really REALLY are unhappy with your decision to quit your job, then why don't you just find another full time job? Sure, it wont be the same as the one you quit... it will have pros and cons for sure. You could even possibly try to go back to your old job and see what they say. Couldn't hurt to ask if you left them on good terms.

What I didn't like about Require.js is having to wrap so many portions of my code into callback functions and not being able to merge and minify code on the fly.

We ended up using Browserify instead. It's a Node.js module that lets you use CommonJS-style require in your client-side code. Browserify scans your code for all requires, figures out in which order the dependencies should be loaded and merges the code. Optionally, it lets you compile CoffeeScript on the fly or use filters, such as UglifyJS (to minify the output). Another great advantage, IMO, is that Browserify can package most Node.js modules for client-side use. Instead of downloading & distributing JS libs, you can manage them as modules via NPM and require them as you would in Node.js apps. Browserify will grab the code from the module and package it for you.

However, if you can't use Node.js on your server, Require.js is definitely the way to go.

I just have a small quibble about the statement "3 years to be exact". Having built several companies over the years, no time line is exact. That doesn't mean it's not a good estimate, just that the cliche may be taken literally.

However, how does this fit into the "fail often, fail quickly" advice I have seen so often in this forum? Does quickly mean 3 years? Just a thought...
Ubuntu has put hard money into an alternative to Gnome3, yet they chose not to put effort into Gnome2 either. Which suggests that perhaps Gnome2 has been abandoned for good reasons, even if you don't agree with them.

If you're not paying for their time (or willing to put your own time in), you don't get to chose how the people who are putting the effort in spend their programming time.

With free software, you have the option to do whatever you like to it, but no-one has the obligation to work on it on your behalf.

I think it also has to be mentioned that you actually need to be able to extrapolate that with existing growth.

i.e. have enough realistic potential numbers to make it happen without having to rely on the hockey stick growth model. "Oh yeah this month we made $300 profit, but with hockey stick growth, we'll be making $50K in 12 months"
Everything has had SSI. In fact the way that the BBC used to make their web site in PERL on Apache used SSI for their "Most Read" section.

ESI is different... Edge Side rather than Server Side.

The benefit is that you don't need one server capable of doing everything. You can have a separate web service capable of returning the "Most Read" section on different technology, different machines, elsewhere on the network... and ESI will interleave the output of these web services at the edge of the network.

Varnish supports ESI, and as one of the main reasons to use Varnish is caching you can reasonably expect (and be correct) that Varnish will cache ESI sections.

So Varnish will receive a document, cache the whole of it, and use an entirely different cache policy on a section of it.

It's all swings and roundabouts. I just have a strong preference towards not making any part of the solution complex by trying to make it do anything more than it need do, especially when other layers can be added that do that specific thing (caching in this instance) better.

> Three years. Sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more.

3 years is pretty quick in terms of success, in terms of failure it is an eternity. It all depends on what you perceive the trend to be. If the trend 'flatlines' then you can draw a negative conclusion much earlier. After a year or less you can probably predict quite accurately what the future will look like.
