Google ads on the content network, only on sites that you add, and start off with foodie sites.

Problem with the search network is that you need to target people who match your offing closely and it's very hard to do that when you don't know if the user 1) has an iPhone, 2) cooks, and 3) wants help deciding what to cook. So a normal 1% clickthrough rate would likely end up much lower than that unless you hit on some awesome uncompetitive keywords that match exactly what your app does, for the right target market.

At least with the content network, you can target foodies, and maybe some pages mention iphones and recipes so you can target those accurately. Some work involved, but that's how I'd do it.

Other thoughts:

You're calling it Random Chef. That doesn't reaaally solve the problem of the user. A casual scanner might think 'throw in random ingredients' or make some similar non-connection to what the app does. Their problem (or solution) isn't 'randomness', it's deciding what to make. So maybe 'menu decision maker' or 'recipe suggestion box' or 'chef's recipe suggestions' or something that a person who is reading a list of app names says 'that's exactly what I need!' because it hints at solving the problem they have.

Another thought: maybe the 'benefit' isn't the decision making, it's the more interesting menu. I know people who will order the same things from the store each week just so they don't have to think about it. That'll get boring after a while, so your app helps to make it less boring. Maybe add a checkbox for 'standard' recipes, and those make up the bulk of the recipes each week so everybody is happy, and throw in a new one once/twice a week just to grow the collection without making them think through each meal every day.

In any case, your idea of 1-month apps is a great one. Nice work!
No, see, you're forgetting the six degrees of separation thing. All it takes is for someone who knows someone who knows someone to help them. They just need some plug-in or whatever to check their DNS against an uncensored one and their geek friends will probably be passing such things around in less than a week. I think someone already made that program actually, so I think the blocks are likely to be ineffective before they start.

That myth that "this will make it hard for the 99%" thing has been trotted out during every single anti-piracy failure ever. (There have been no lasting successes.) Once the "smart cow" opens the barn door for everyone else, it's open. Every single cow can just walk right out and it will be too late when you go to close it. It's like we're playing a game where we flip a fair coin. Heads, I win. Tails, we flip it again. And yet people still think that maybe next time it will work.

Think we can make it up with even harsher punishments? Well, the Great Firewall of China leaks like a sieve. Incidentally, they also use a form of DNS blocking, as I understand it (something like spoofed NXDOMAIN replies).
Show HN: Aptgraph, measure and compare your web applications key metrics
Aptgraph allows you to easily and quickly start tracking key metrics in your
applications. Once you are tracking a metric you can compare it to other metrics
(both yours and others) so you can hopefully learn how your metrics affect each
other. You can also add alerts (ie. if profit < 1000 send me an email).

Aptgraph is designed to be simple and easy to add to your application.
Its free and in beta. To get an idea of what you can do with it, check out the
homepage which has an example of how it works.

http://www.aptgraph.com

This has been a side project for a long time. If anyone has any feedback it
would be great :)

Cheers

Another addition to the edu|tech disruption brewing.

Will be exciting to see whether the disruption comes top-down from the institutions or bottom-up from startups like codecademy/khanacademy.

I'm bullish on the startups at this point, but happy to see the institutions giving it a go.
I got more out of this post than the original post but this post wouldn't have been written if not for the original post. I think the author of the original post just needs to build some of his ideas with the capacity and attenion span that he currently has, and good things will happen, and he'll get the practice he needs.
QCF+Punch: Implementing Street Fighter-style Input
A couple ideas: (1) do what you can to make sure the outcome is in doubt until near the end, and (2) arrange so that the person "in the lead" changes often. Only one person can win, but a lot of people can feel like they were close to winning.
I find this an interesting article in light of the previous "Oh shit I'm 30 and haven't done anything!" article.

There are young engineers who are too gullible and naive. Many VC's eat these folks for lunch like Hollywood eats wannabe movies stars. I met a guy who said that after his first startup he felt like some young kid who came out to act and settled for a role in an adult film, only to have all the proceeds go to the producer and a reputation sullied by is previous 'history.' His startup had a good exit, for the VCs but was considered 'poorly executed' so he took the heat.

I've met older engineers who were amazing creative forces to be reckoned with in their 'day' but are now stuck in a bitter, curmudgeonly loop rebelling against new technologies because they 'add no value over the old way which still works fine thank you very much.' They get reviews they don't understand, things like 'stuck in your ways, not a team player, argumentative.'

Flashy loud mouth hipsters reflect badly on young entrepreneurs and bitter engineers reflect badly on older engineers. Its not like you can change that though.

All you can do is take an engineer, listen to their ideas and observe their work, and if they are good it will show. If they are past their sell by date, that will show too. And if they are more air than insight, well that comes out pretty quickly too.

One thing I've come to appreciate is how dangerous a generalization can be.

In fact, as of November 1997, only one of the top four commercial search engines finds itself (returns its own search page in response to its name in the top ten results).

I've forgotten what the web was like pre-google so this is rather shocking. I do remember the giant collection of "keywords" tacked onto the end of pages, often when I was searching for warez[1].

I hear you. Even though I am still in my late 20s, I still need 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Anything less than that and I feel like I was hit with a trunk the next day.

I really wish I could get by on 5-7 hours like so many of my friends do, but after a while I just had to accept I couldn't physically do it.

Yes, but only with highly competitive markets, like the 4-function calculator. cough Think harder...
Absolutely.

And it goes both ways. I would have never thought I needed an app like Path, but I gave it a try when they released Path 2.0 purely because I loved the design. Now it has become one of my most used apps, super easy to keep my GF and brother/sister updated on the more personal things going on day-to-day.

You mean using marijuana to treat insomnia (or sleep disorders in general)? Quite a lot, actually - marijuana is one of the most studied drugs in existence, and its effects on sleep disorders have been documented thoroughly. It depends on the state, but some of the states with medical marijuana laws accept sleep disorders as a valid use.

Personally, I think your app requires too much effort. Aside from the 14 included recipes, it sounds like I have to find and input my own. If I tell people that my problem is I can't figure out what I want to make, and I would love a solution, it means that I would love a solution without having to even create my own recipes. Just push out recipes to me based on my tastes.
We have a few cowork options, and expect some more spaces to open within the next 6 months.

BootHK (http://boot.hk) is my space I opened and is mostly hotdesk space for early startups.
HK Commons is a little more for established companies that are still 2-4 people and growing.
There are also more traditional serviced office type offerings, but that isn't quite as interactive with the general community.

While that's quite funny, it bothers me that he seems to be arguing for SOPA to effectively not cover porn. Why is it that the intellectual property rights of pornographers should not be protected? Why are their rights not as important as the rights of others?
Stanford experimented and seemed to have found a right balance for effective online-learning, now MIT is fine tuning OCW. Exciting news.

Keys needed:

* quality teaching and teachers
* highly relevant courses
* learners in batch
* online office hour weekly
* feedback mechanism, sense of connection
* discussion forums - e.g. reddit

You've gotta question the data and analysis when it seems like every big startup was founded by young people. I'm thinking of Amazon, Ebay, PayPal, Yahoo, Google, Groupon, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Phoney politeness and muddled messages: a guide to euphemisms
To compute sales tax in the US, you need a full address and product type(s). Not even zip code is granular enough to determine the tax rate. It can vary by county, township, inside/outside city limits, and in all these different combinations (literally thousands for the whole country) what items are subject to sales tax varies region by region too. For example, most states don't tax web design service, but there are a few that do. Most states don't tax advertising services, but a few do, and it depends what type of advertising is being bought.

Passing on an address and a total to an API will do the trick 99% of the time, but technically, some of the businesses using that API are going to fail to collect sales tax in some cases where they should.

I am hopeful that if enough state legislatures get serious about taxing internet sales, they'll band together to do some nationwide standardization. That kind of thing can't come down from the federal government; congress has no authority to tell a local municipality it can't levy its own sales tax, but state governments can. Kind of like how they all agreed (is it all? I think one or two didn't) to the Uniform Commercial Code so that the basic laws of sale contracts are the same in every state.
This is similar to the optional programming question at ai-class.org. NLP.

At last, the final piece of the puzzle. With a fee structure in place they can afford employees to grade more intensive assignments. It looks like we might finally get a viable competitor to traditional degrees.

You need to hire a programmer, well look, this guy took intro CS, algorithms, compilers, software engineering, Java etc... from MITx.
A good example of why my suspicions are raised when I see someone getting nostalgic for the "good old days" of the Internet.
The fun part about CS is that it's widely use and is thus a great success. The sad part is that it's nearly impossible to change the language without breaking the backward compatibility.

Yes, but most of time time, I don't install apps in the first place that aren't aesthetically "adequate" for consuming scarce attention.

If you consider that your time is a scarce resource, why would anyone spend time using apps that didn't look/feel great? Unless they were objected to for their job -- but even then, there almost has to be some alternative.
I have to say, this is one of the goals were wanted to achieve when I made SleepBot (Android). Sleep is such a big issue especially for us programmers. We often not aware of how much sleep we actually lose everyday and how much performance it kills.

I didn't bother reading the Slashdot article because I expect that it really is misleading, but in response to your second & third points, I examined the link someone else first posted to HN:

Lamar Smith (R TX-21) Support: $277,350 Oppose: $41,000

I see some other Judiciary Committee members up near the top with similar very high support/oppose ratios and I think it's been fairly supportive of the bill overall. Then I looked up some of the more notable opponents: Pelosi & Issa. They have 2-1 and 10-1 ratios (support/oppose) in spite of being opponents.

I think looking at the list of industries that are SOPA supporters is more interesting. Exactly why do some of those industries want to support SOPA? Here the oddballs industries on the list: auto repair, animal feed & health products, confectionery processors & manufacturers, optical services (glasses & contact lenses), & tobacco & tobacco products. Why are they on there? My best guess is that lobbyists are involved somehow.
Yes. Especially if you include platform faux-pas in "aesthetics". One of the worst offenders is when someone makes something "cross platform" while ignoring all the conventions of all platforms except their primary dev platform. Generally speaking, those lead to an immediate uninstall, since they're so awful to do anything with.
This is amazingly clever. Congratulations on the win! Would you consider posting something about the process you took?
I emigrated from Hong Kong when I was 9. I wouldn't mind returning to work as many of my relatives live there, but only if you are willing to pay wages on par with what I'd get in Australia...

I looked for programming jobs there and interned for 2 months. They do treat you like a slave and pay only $10,000 HKD a month. (around $300 a week).

I am an enthusiastic (and high scoring) software engineering student in Sydney. So yeah, if anyone wants to hire me to work in HK, see my profile for contact details.

I hope all interviewers are not like you. Not every web developer comes with a rigorous CS background. Some very excellent web developers I know come from various backgrounds and are good at what they do because they understand web development itself really well even though they may not know low level compiler and OS stuff.

It's always better to align the interview with the job (and future tasks they may be involved in), not some idealized CS background that you think everyone should have.

I understand the present day practical reason why she thinks that phone calls matter more, I really do, however phone calls are a time inefficient way of accomplishing that result. There are just so many things people could be doing with their lives, including communicating opinion about other political issues, that we should allow all of them to be done as efficiently as possible. An online petition is more efficient. The key is trust. What we really need is some sort of highly automatable, electronic way of voting or expressing political positions in a way that is trustable. We shouldn't not trust some expression of political intent merely because it's fast/efficient, that's almost ridiculous, instead we should only not trust it if it is forged or shilled.

People are seeking for the financial advice and payday loans
As both a tech and finance geek, one thing that drives me crazy is when someone uses the phrase "I made $X" to describe top-line revenue and NOT their profits. This occurs really frequently due to either people not being informed, or because they are trying to make their company sound as large and successful as possible.
I disagree with the author when he says that "RPG, in the context of video games basically means quest based game with turn based combat." IMO, this is extremely narrow-minded, and entirely sidesteps the most important part of the RPG acronym: the R and P, standing for role-playing.

That said, just role-playing is not enough to make an RPG (otherwise, all games would be RPG's!). To say Zelda is anything other than an RPG is narrow-mindedness at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.

If you've got net access (or even if you don't), it seems almost plausible that you could just identify the book/page in question and use a lookup table of coordinates.

I don't know how many variations on the /Where's Wa[a-z]+\?/ theme have actually been produced, though, so maybe it wouldn't be easier.

Then again, if you can upload unknowns, wait until you've got enough samples to generate confidence, and then store the result, it'd scale/perform much better :)
