I make no where near $100/hour, but I usually feel my money is wasted when I eat a restaurant - rarely does the quality justify the price - even for a $20 meal.

25% sounds about right.

I understand what you are saying, but in my traditional work environment (day job) I have to wait till I get home to do anything with an idea.

Once I fasted for 3 days, only drinking water. By day two I was pretty weak, afterwards I recovered pretty quickly. The point being, it shouldn't be to difficult to do if you aren't going to need to be too active.

Does it really matter who did this?

The future of the internet is changed as a result of this event, thats the true meat of this situation.

thats what I thought of when I saw this.

20k would be great, I could cover my rent and have a few hundred dollars a month left over. Thats not a lot, but its enough to assure I can continue to live an not have to worry about what would happen if my job vanished, or an emergency came up that prevented me or my girlfriend from working.

The more secure place to store notes is in a notebook you carry around with you all the time.

Older people start thinking what they see is true, my dad always says stuff that is true to him, but not so true for me as I have less life experience.

I was at a tech Meet Up in DC a couple of years ago and there was an investor there who said he was from In-Q-Tel.

Alternatively the majority of HN readers make their livings doing the things Lanier is criticizing.

That video feels very manufactured.

Yeah, lets give the super rich more and take from everyone else.

Should we really be surprised that a company built on sketchy behaviour continues its sketchy behaviour?

I was in a rut a few months ago, at some point I decided to try this out, it helped 'change' my mind.

I remember reading this article in high school for a biology assignment, the graphics helped a lot.

I agree, doing more than other people in the same situation as you will lead to more success.

Not to suggest breaking the law, but pirated music, movies and books are not locked into any device or ecosystem.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but you could build 1 Wordpress site a month for a North American client and likely make more money than that.

thanks for the feedback, thats a great answer and addresses most of the concerns that I had.

By hacky I meant that RESTful with VB.NET isn't the default way of doing things.

I've had a good experience with Godaddy, there was a lot of bad press a few months ago, but I've had no serious problems in 4 years. I have 5 or 6 different sites hosted with them.

My uncle once told me "You're a genius. Keep doing what you've been doing".

Not very lean of you :P JK

Being new to freelance I find it often takes awhile from the time someone says they want work done to the point of actually needing that work done. Point being, line up a few projects so you have things to do between waiting for projects to mature.

Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Based on this article 12% of the 400 richest people have been in the tech space and are 'scary' smart. 12% seems like the upper range of a bell curve. This is link bait.
