moneyrich4··on Predicting Kickstarter campaigns success within 4 hours of launch [pdf]
so are the first 4 hours the most important? or very important?
moneyrich4··on Ghost Launches to The Public
yea ive made a few templates

i recommend just copything the casper folder and renaming it. (content/themes/casper)

make your own stylesheet and comment theirs out (it, styles, everything). theirs is screen.css.

you can comment out the ghost included {{body_class}} and {{ghost_foot}} by changing them to {{!body_class}} and {{!ghost_foot}}

after that its just 3 files, default.hbs which is a global template (so its like the html head body tags), and then they insert the body at {{body}}

the body comes from index.hbs or post.hbs, which will be index.hbs: 6 article summaries in a list with a page at the bottom. and post.hbs which will just show 1 post.

the data in the post and index hbs files (handlebars templates) has stuff like {{eachpost}} {{post}} which is all you really have to keep out of those files

disagree

the db is sqlite by default, and its stored in content/ with your themes and other stuff (?)

so you just backup your content directory ;d

been using this for a while

things i've noticed so far (.3.0):

- no dash yet

- no view posts by category feature

- no list top 10 most recent posts

- kind of confusing or redundant mvc abstraction

i hacked up a view posts by category and a template swap by hostURL in a few hours but the code is really abstracted. it will probably make sense later when all the features are implemented though.

good:

- easy to install

- love the editor

- love the admin

- templates are handlebars and easy

i've been following this for ~6 months now and am stoked to use it. congrats on your release. can we please have a CMS style feature were we can edit some static pages to go into our blogs! PLZ!

moneyrich4··on UN caused deadly cholera in Haiti, covered it up, lawsuit says
coincidentally if united nations meant organization for uniting man kind under a global government, this could be the best status and legal system to have.

moneyrich4··on Show HN: Turn any website into an API HackMIT 2013
it looks like yql is only for some sites and you need the sites api key, and this is any site "whether they like it or not" and it takes 2 clicks.

cool project thought about doing this myself, gl!.

moneyrich4··on MongoDB Raises $150 Million at $1.2 Billion Valuation
I think it’s a crazy amount, but not necessarily wrong.

Mongo is the most popular NoSQL db

The interweb of the last 5-6 years created a large demand for JavaScript developers; this db (and or NodeJS) allows them to get into DB programming. Now that I think about that its like Windows did for OSes or Word for typing or HTML for web. So the growth potential is pretty large.

I think the best deal on a biz like this they can sign support contracts with an infinite number of customers to support their product, saving the customers money when shit breaks. That alone is a few million a year.

moneyrich4··on The Best Part of Grand Theft Auto V is the Stock-Trading Platform
Oh I hated this game! I was so bad at it and made no profit in the week I had it rented.

Turns out I did about as well in the real stock market. gg.

The game was really fun though

moneyrich4··on Ask HN: Review my product, Peers
thats looking very nice sir, having done something similar i know it its a lot harder to do that it looks. very good job.

a point on these is traction may build really slow and you might have to hang in there for many months, but try to keep at it!

moneyrich4··on Chilling legal memo from Obama DOJ justifies assassination of US citizens
a new gang of people who usually went to school together, that we choose (usually... diebold ... die bold ... risk it all take everything) every 4 years. supposedly we do this every 4 years to balance the power they wield from veering too far left or right and sticking to the countries interest.

moneyrich4··on SteamOS
> Is anyone else skeptical that they can motivate publishers to spend time/money porting their games to the Linux platform?

no.

porting and refactoring tools are so good now you can even port a direct3d app to opengl in 2 days or less, you could use a d3d>opengl wrapper in a day of work.

libraries are also so good at dual platform it requires minimal changes (usually just a new build system).. afaik the biggest change is handling input (theres no directInput on linux - most games use directInput for mouse/kb).

theres also numerous benefits to a closed system economy like an app store - for example even if nobody uses it you are practically exclusive and will get more buys than other places you can sell your app.

moneyrich4··on Ask HN: How can I overcome ennui?
yup. vacation or a 2 week hiatus is good. go play your favorite video game or sport 1x or 2x a week. workout. stop drinking booze.
