how can you get rid of it? I can always increase the price.

Samo is Slovenian version of Sam. "samo" means "only"/"just" but pronounced a bit differently than Samo.

You can help us help you by a) becoming available in more countries b) Atlas LLC

Any idea when forming a LLC in Delaware becomes available?

yes

This is a good idea for a little bit later. First you need to understand what to write about. What are the keywords, what are they looking for, etc.

First, check your core hypotheses.

1. How do you know that? For example. I love custom made chess pieces. I'd never buy (or use) an app to browse different chess boards/pieces etc. I need to touch them, talk to a person that made them, etc.

2. Can you find 3 people who want this (i.e. give you money) ?

If yes: What do they say? Why do they want(love?) this app? Where did you find them? How many others like them are out there?

If no: Ask them why they don't like it.

Anyway, if you want to talk more about it contact me. I'd love to help.

Don't listen to "some people". Do what's best for your customers.

If you had a cure for cancer, would you promote it?

That's exactly how you make a sales pitch. It doesn't matter what year it is, it matters who the customer is.

Join 30x500 or TheFoundation. They'll teach you how to find plenty of ideas. And also how to get them off the ground without a VC.

Perhaps this:

"The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause."

Similarly to the first world vs the third world countries today ?

I am not "denigrating success". I simply don't agree they are (or ever going to be) successful as a businesses.

I agree, paradigm shift was not the best phrase to explain my point.

Any data of how many founders who fail go start the second startup? I think that probably 90+% startups fail but founders failure rate is probably much lower. For me definition of founder failure would be giving up and going back to big company and not trying again.

I really like this evolutionary-way of writing. Small little improvements and changes until it sounds better and fits better to the rest of the paragraph/text/code. I found out that if i am disciplined enough when writing code this way the result is much much better. When i was working in corporate world there was always some distraction (boss, time constraints , ...) to break this flow resulting in not so good code.

Maybe there is some natural limit(2.718...) and we shall never reach {profitability,semantic web,...} :)

I like the idea but it has some problems. I played 2 games and in both of them it left pieces undefended. And when delivered checkmate he ate my defended queen with king :)

My thoughts exactly but i am having tough time conveying that to others. I am not sure if it is inherent human "thing" to like titles or it will slowly fade away like having finished high/elementary school.

It really depends on your ability to time manage and keep focus. I know i can not do it. Its much easier for me to work for 16h and sleep till i am rested and then work some more than to follow strict schedule. Focusing on two projects (one being interesting and the other usually dull) is also very hard. There is also commute time ...

when you think about it its just a trade or investment. I have some money to survive a few months and i'll trade it for interesting work and a "quasi-slim" shot at financial independence. When/if i run out i will have to go back to pointless meetings so its a pretty big motivator and that can not be bad :)
