taphangum··on Ask HN: Is there software for building software?

taphangum··on Life Lessons I’ve Learned in 38 Years
I'm sorry to say it. But this is all mostly misguided advice. No context whatsoever
taphangum··on Mr. X by Carl Sagan (insights through cannabis)
Wow, he had some good shit. ;)
taphangum··on What should I do about my lazy partner?
Take this from someone who knows. Get rid of him. ASAP. People like him singlehandedly kill businesses.
taphangum··on Ask HN: I have so many ideas and not enough time
I struggled with this for months until i realized one thing. And trust me on this: Follow the one you're most passionate about.

You WILL NOT be able to sufficiently execute on an idea if you're not passionate about it.

PHP.
taphangum··on Ask PG: Can we see the response to the HN changes?
You don't need to. It's there, therefore it has value. Not at all like HN comments.
taphangum··on Ask PG: Can we see the response to the HN changes?
What are you even talking about? The point of sites like HN is curation.
taphangum··on Ask HN: Scientific studies and books on exercise and diet?
Sir, Read THIS thread: http://velocity.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/diet_performa....

I promise you, you won't regret it.

taphangum··on Starvation = Focus?
You are killing your muscle mass by doing this:

Let me make a few recommendations if i may, that would give you the same result while still allowing you to preserve most of your muscle mass. And possibly lose fat.

- Instead of eating less calories, eat less carbs. (It brings you the same level of focus as you would have if you had been starving yourself. Trust me.)

- Do NOT do any form of anaerobic excercise without having had atleast 250 grams of carbs within that day.

- Drink A LOT of water, pretty obvious but still.

taphangum··on Swoopo Quietly Files for Bankruptcy
Their traffic decreased DRAMATICALLY when competitor, http://bigdeal.com showed up on the scene. That and the sudden uptick in clones is what probably caused their failure.

It's a great example of how bad we are at predicting things.
taphangum··on Ask HN: Review our brand spanking new web designer mockup tool, Clickdummy.com
My advice would be to further explain the 'add pages' concept. It confused me.

Another little gripe is the lack of an instruction video. It'd help.

(Just spend about 6 minutes on the site)

taphangum··on A History of the World in 100 Seconds
Mind..blown.

We are about to experience a boom in global events.

taphangum··on RIP Digg
It seems like tech journalism itself is experiencing a bubble.
taphangum··on RIP Digg
People are still using it. They could probably justify a sale. Albeit a VERY small one.
taphangum··on RIP Digg
Seems like a phase every company has to go through.

First they love you, then they hate you, then you win? Time will tell.

taphangum··on Not A Waste
"The key question here is how much self-bullshitting you want to do versus how many doughnuts you want to sell." <- This.

One of the best comments i've read on HN. What you just said knocks it out of the ballpark.

The thing that is wrong with the lifestyle business though is that at some point the founders intend on stopping their value creation beyond what they need to survive.

It's inherently selfish while the startup is inherently (mostly unintentionally) unselfish.

That's what, i think, the OP was trying to say with his post.

taphangum··on Entreporn, The Fallacy That Wastes Your Life
You're right. By biggest i mean profitability, reveneue, etc. Which is, for a company, an indicator of their 'fitness'. I'm not talking about the loss making whales that had to get bailed out and for whom we are all now paying for..
taphangum··on Entreporn, The Fallacy That Wastes Your Life
It's unrealistic and will never happen.

The market, overtime, always comes back to its natural state. Which is, 'Survival of The Biggest'.
