Sorry, but you get no sympathy from me. You are a financial supporter of pro-SOPA Godaddy and it bit you in the ass.

I'm just glad I haven't done business with you.

I could never imagine taking a course on Entrepreneurship. It's something you learn by doing. At least it is for me. There's also so many good books out there...

Being good at math is like a superpower (at least it seems that way to a creative/language minded guy like me). Math requires schooling more than entrepreneurship.

Go with the math, and while you're getting really good at it, you'll come up with an awesome business idea that will help guys like me learn math faster.

Go with the math.

Again, I've got to say you need to differentiate to survive. There have been several HN clones in the past year or so (remember lamernews.com?) but none of them differentiated enough.

Please don't make the same mistake. Like Steve Jobs said: "Be Different".

A quick but of advice: give the site some personality - visually, I mean. It will make a difference. People will respond to it better and respect it more.

If it looks like an HN clone, that's how people will treat it. Differentiate.

Reading her list reminds me of when I worked in a record store back when I was a teenager.

One thing I quickly learned is when a grandma asked what album/artist do I recommend for her grandson, she wasn't asking for MY recommendation (i.e. Zodiak Mindwarp and the Love Machine or whatever the heck I was listening to).

The correct answer was almost always Rick Astley.

// Cars have come a long way, and their impact on the environment will be just about none by the time we could get a ring of walkable suburbs built just outside the perimeter.

Your comment is uninformed. Cars lead to ever-expanding roads, which results in:

- Deforestation

- Poisoning of ground water sources (your soon to be drinking water) due to chlorides in rock salt used on snowy and icy roads, as well as the oils, grime and toxins that are released off the roads when it rains

- More air pollution (you think everyone can afford a Prius?)

- More taxes for YOU, regardless of whether you live in the suburbs or not. New suburbs require garbage trucks to go farther out to service the new areas, as do fire trucks, police and rescue. The power grid, plumbing etc has to be extended as well

- More taxes for YOU AGAIN, because now these roads need to be maintained and fixed regularly

- A greater reliance on cars, more accidents, more death to domestic animals and wildlife alike

- More suburbs, more roads and more driving results in higher blood pressure, road rage, higher risk of depression, flu and even heart attacks

And the list of harmful effects go on. Cars aren't just killing our cities, they are emptying our pocketbooks and compromising our physical and psychological health.

Cars are essentially what is causing urban sprawl and the rapid annihilation of nature.

It would also seem city planners design municipalities for cars first, not people. But it's bad planning for everyone, and even bad for business: http://allsprawldown.com/activism/a-big-reason-canadians-are...

Perhaps, but Daniel Duchaine recommended it first, back in 1996 in his book Body Opus.

Actually, his recommendation was swimming in cold water, which would probably be much more effective.

Not only that, but with Reddit being a political force to be reckoned with, it may become a target of the US government.

If the MegaUpload owners are Muslim, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

(Horrify me, yes, but not surprise me).

Zero to Superhero: http://zerotosuperhero.com took me four and a half years to research, write then format and self-publish, so I know how much work it can be.

Then again, my second book Economtricks: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/economtricks/6123536 took only a year and a half, and every aspect of it went smoothly.

So maybe there's something to be said about having gone through the process once, it gets easier.
