What Every Entrepreneur Needs
Here I am as co-founder of a SaaS company that has actual customers, pays 3 of us a salary and still makes profit and I almost feel like a failure because no-one has valued my hard work at millions of dollars, let alone billions.
This is a great example of what kickstarter should be for - funding things that 'it would be nice if someone did'. Except the actual kickstarter project and rewards aren't exactly what's being pitched. I just like the idea of funding someone to go ahead and take decent pictures to donate to wikipedia. Not sure I like the idea of the separate 'museum'.

What happens if someone aggressively buys the sort of rare (but not ultra rare, significant) collections, and burns them?

Is that enough to drive up the price?
Last Thursday, I built a simple service that took a screenshot of a supplied URL (sitegazer.herokuapp.com). It became very popular on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6612286) and quickly failed to scale. The residual traffic has resulted in about 500 URLs snapped though -- enough to motivate me to continue the project.

DailySiteSnap is actually what I set out to build (SiteGazer was an MVP) because I wanted to track the visual/design progress of my other project, CameraLends.

The payment plans haven't been wired in, so right now all accounts are still free. Please give feedback if you have any! I plan to launch the paid features in the upcoming week.

No. If nothing else, it is an insult to the original (Boston) Tea Party. One might remember that those individuals were protesting irrational decisions made by a king who was far isolated from said subjects.

SEEKING WORK - Chicago/Remote

I'm a product designer/developer. I run my two of my own products, focused around helping freelancers:

https://properapp.com - Contracts for freelancers
http://whatwhenapp.com - Timelines for freelancers

I also help businesses build products for their own customers. I can do front to back design, development, and marketing.

Best suited working with startups (funded), small teams, and solo entrepreneurs. Bonus points if you're a developer, too.

Available for UI design (I design w/ code) and development (I use Meteor).

Example projects that I'd be good for: overhauling an existing product interface, building an MVP, help organize marketing for a new/existing product.

- Rank. It's hard to climb a ladder when you're jumping off of them.

My experience has been the opposite. To move up a rank I've had to shift company. In pretty much every company I have worked in I have moved further away from the top management every year I've stayed.

I suspect this is to do with two factors: I have mostly been working in fast-growing companies; I have had managers who have had difficulty promoting from within — they see the people they have as hired for a role as the best people to do that role and new roles as requiring new people to do them.

I don't mind missing out on a promotion as long as I am considered for a role and the person replacing me is more experienced (so I might learn from them). But sadly, the people coming in have generally been job hoppers with less experience.

I would now consider myself a job hopper (despite having no intention of moving in the foreseeable future) — I've doubled my income and have a more satisfying job. I'd keep doing it if I didn't like my current job as much as I do.

My advice is to jump in two's, a hop and a skip: do one for the career (and the wallet) then quickly jump sideways to one you prefer. You can then stay put for a while until things go stale or pear-shaped and you then plan the next hop-skip.

It has worked well for me.

IF YOU PASS OUR TECHNICAL INTERVIEW AND RECEIVE A JOB OFFER FROM US, WE'LL GIVE YOU $1,000 CASH (even if you don't take the job!) http://news.rapgenius.com/Lemon-introducing-the-rap-genius-g....

We're one of the fastest-growing sites on the internet, we get 25MM unique visitors per month, we've raised $15m from Andreesen Horowitz, and yet our tech team is only seven people. Anyone who joins us is going to have the best of both worlds, you'll work on a product that millions love and use while getting the experience of being a part of a small team and helping define the culture.

WHO WE ARE

We're a tiny, quick-shipping team. Each of us makes product decisions and owns whole features. We're close and we all enjoy spending time together. We’re a small team because we’re picky about who joins us. We have one of the hardest technical interviews in NYC but if you make it, you’re going to be on the best team around. Our house library includes Metaprogramming in Ruby; Godel, Escher, Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid; POODR; and "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?". Loving rap is not a prerequisite for working here, though an appreciation osmoses to everyone after a while.

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

We started Rap Genius in 2009 to explain the meaning of rap lyrics, but the big vision goes beyond music and touches all of text – whether it's the Bill of Rights (http://news.rapgenius.com/United-states-congress-the-us-cons...), the Bible (http://news.rapgenius.com/God-10-commandments-lyrics), “The Waste Land” (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Ts-eliot-the-waste-land-lyrics), or the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling (http://news.rapgenius.com/The-supreme-court-of-the-united-st...), it's all on Rap Genius (or Poetry Genius, or News Genius, or... you get the idea). One of our favorite recent examples is Junot Diaz's amazing annotations on an excerpt from his own The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Junot-diaz-the-brief-wondrous-li...).

One might say that being polite and not insulting people are traits of merit.
Do we need to buy credits inorder to place a bid?
That would be true if the vast majority of people could have their emotional reactions but still make decisions based on pure merit.

How many people do you know like that? Do you think this describes the majority of the people in the FOSS world?
Awesome. I downloaded the project but was having trouble creating a user. I want to know more about your project.

I found out that http://openbsd.org is not the same as http://www.openbsd.org (one is much lower bandwidth) and apparently it's intentional that one doesn't redirect to the other. And that's not even to mention the website not using a static generator or CSS (despite http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/ actually being modern and good looking). From what I understand is the reason it's not changed is because it'd be too much work because it's duplicated everywhere, but they won't accept contributions to change it.

I love OpenBSD as a piece of software, but I don't understand it's developers or community at all.

How I made our company's website top#14 growing in the publishing industry (Oct)
How I made our company's website top#14 growing in the publishing industry (Oct 2013).
I was hired as the marketing manager at an online publishing company to make the website more visible (SEO) and with more Unique Visitors.
My education: MBA My experience: 9 years in Management (5 yrs in Marketing and Marketing Analysis)
Obviously, if you want to get consistent real visitors, it will take some time. Even if you get lucky to be in the top list of Hacker News or Reddit or... for a while, it is still a temporary improvement which won't do any good for a company. On the other hand, all the partners at the company were considering to enter a new market since their investment were almost gone!
So I had no money to spend (on ads or promotions), no time to incrementally implement some basic steps, and no support from other websites to help us.
First, I made a mistake!! I spent 10$ for a Gag (fiverr) to get more semi-real visitors out of my own pocket, knowing that it might buy me some time to implement more long-term strategies. It turned out that one of our sponsors that had access to our Google Analytics has found out about it and left us in 1 week. Also, the gag didn't really change any important metrics on our website.
Then, I did this in summary:
i know i am saying i wish more projects like this were written in django - that is it
(1) I cleaned the website from minor and major issues like deleting links that were not working properly, deleting any plugin that was too much for our readers, used simple URLs for each article, set up all SEO metrics including Focus keywords and SEO description (even alt. description for pictures) even for articles from 6 months ago.
(2) Asked all our 60 authors to use their Google Plus ID in our profiles and change their Google Plus profile under "contributor" section to get Google Authorship for all of them (which only 30% of them did that)
(3) Did an overall analysis everyday to get Trending Topics from Google Trends and also alternative words for each hot topic and asked the Content Manager to replace some words from the published contents based on my daily analysis.
I had a conversation a few years ago with the brother of a guy who owns a small chain of comic book stores in my area. I told him I might look at selling off my small collection of a few hundred comics. He waived me off of it.

"My brother has a sizable warehouse full of old comics. It's just yet more inventory he needs to move. You'll be lucky to get $1 a book."

It sounds like things are even more dire these days.

The collectible market comes and goes, I'll just wait till it comes back around in 20 or 30 years I guess.

Well dang. Now I have to find another go-to Linux distro.
It's a little ironic to see this guy complaining about people insulting him. In porting Google Chrome to Linux we encountered a bug running under kwin, and my colleagues tracked the issue down to a bug in kwin and even wrote a patch that fixed the bug only to be met by rudeness from him.

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15698#c3...

(To be clear, it's fine with me if someone disagrees with some other software's UI decisions, but it's another thing to call those other people "stupid" when those decisions are to make use of an API you explicitly implemented, or call their code "broken" when the bug is demonstrably yours. Quoted words are his.)
Bringing up the SSC should be done carefully. It's true that Congress killed the project after a lot of money had been spent, land acquired, facilities built, and people relocated. On the flip side, the management of the project was far from perfect, and it was expected to go far over budget.

If you want to further particle physics these days, campaign for funding the ILC [1]. The Japanese are very interested in hosting and supporting the effort. While the energy is smaller (500 GeV - 1 TeV), the energy per particle (protons are made of three quarks; most collisions at LHC are between gluons) is comparable or greater. Lepton-antilepton colliders are what you really want to do precision science; protons are only used because they're energetically advantageous.

> Perhaps it's high time we drop the charade of "meritocracy" and admit that software projects, FOSS or otherwise, are run by humans with human emotions and human reactions, and that for better or worse, the majority of the developer community makes decisions based more on emotion than on a dispassionate evaluation of a project's merits.

A thousand times this. Being a participant in various FOSS things and other projects I have come to learn that the idea of a meritocracy is a thought terminating cliche. It is perpetuated by the nerd culture around FOSS that can program beautiful stuff day in and day out but has a chronic deficiency in social ability.

I know it's kind of a worn-out point by now and I will probably gather downvotes for it, but that's the sad truth of the matter. As nerds, we like to reduce our reality to technicalities, those pesky old meat space constraints only hold us back! And that works well for a couple of years when one quarter of the community awakens to their social core, realizing the community around them in horror while another quarter of the community doubles down and goes borderline sociopathic. Then those two sides fight a bitter fight and the whole community suffers.

To me, all this comes down to one problem: centralization. If you don't reduce your scope and humble your ambition, you will fall by it. Happens. Every. Time. Canonical always aspired to be the Linux distro but to achieve that, it had to accept a cost to the community in form of collateral damage.

It's human constraints holding back FOSS. Ambition in the misguided few (sadly, mostly people who aspire to and assume leadership positions), carelessness and sheep behavior in the idealistic many.

There is no technical solution to this and technical solutions is what the majority of FOSS participants come in for. Only to find that - surprise! - the FOSS community has the same meat space constraints as every other goddamn thing on this planet. Until we put more emphasis on not letting social skills atrophy in this atrophy-enabling climate, this history will simply keep on repeating itself.

Google's outgunned - but you're right, not helpless.
(4) Did a competitor analysis every week to find market benchmarks and check if any growth in our number of visitors was caused by the Market itself. This segmentation helped us to know which article is "really" getting more traffic because of its content. (which the #1 article by this analysis turned out to be about Bitcoins, just FYI) Then we asked our authors who wrote those top articles to continue their topics...

(5) Based on the Competitive Analysis every week, I emailed several websites (mostly startups) to partner with us (I only emailed companies with our range of Alexa Web Ranking) with a customized email and a unique strategy with each one of them. (with each analysis, I found out what they are looking for and how we can help them). Then started to set up win-win contracts (informal) with them that was basically going to help us both grow our business. In 3 months, I found about 20 Partners.
(6) Asked all partners to use BackLinks and also favorite our tweets or even retweet them to their own audience. Also asked them to write for us as a guest writer and promote their own articles via our website. In return, we would publish them and promote them ourselves.
(7) using proper @s for our Twitter Audience and potential followers to personally suggest them some articles. Some times without even including any weblink to get their attention that we are not spams.
(8) Responded to any interaction in all our Social Media account the moment they appeared in my notification bar. Except for 5-6 hours per day that I was sleeping.
And this is my achievements: - Alexa Ranking improved 310% in the first month. (United States rankings) - We appeared in the 2nd page in Google Search Engine for our 3 focus keywords after 2 months (we were not even in the first 5 pages) - Our Klout score went up from 40 to 60 - We got 400 real followers in twitter in 2 months which their response rate is 10%. (The other 1600 followers that has followed us before I joined have a response rate of 0.4%. - we got 20 partners and backlinks everyday - we got 2 new sponsors - .... We got Microsoft and SAP as our partner!! (MS VCs)
And now people who knew I was responsible for this are asking me to work for them!
