Fuca··on Ask HN: Launching?
Ranking in Google will bring customers, but and this is very ironic, people visit sites that already have.... people, if you can fake or achieve that the ball will just keep getting bigger.

Fuca··on How do you generate passive income?
This very site is a good example of passive income. If you put ads on it, it will generate by itself 1000's a month.

Fuca··on 10 tips for starting entrepreneurs
Why not the accountant be a family member? I have one that is good, that I trust, and does not charge too much.
Fuca··on Ask HN: Clients are gone, lots of debt, what would you do?
I will get a job, and try to monetize what was left of the business.

Try again when the debt is paid and with some money saved. As someone pointed out: the knowledge of how NOT do it is very valuable.

Fuca··on Microsoft is in talks to acquire Yahoo’s online search business for $20 billion
It is logical. Search is where the money is at.

For me the biggest business mystery in the world is why the adsense/adword model was not exactly copied ASAP by Yahoo, since that was making billions to your direct competitor.

Fuca··on Ask HN: What resources did you use to learn PHP?
Just asked the same thing...Thanks everybody for the help
Fuca··on Ask YC: What would you tell your younger self?
Think for yourself, be yourself. Find the people and activities that match who you are. When the going gets tough, You will only have 2 friends your dad and a dollar.Talk as little as you can.Choose a profession knowing that is what you will do the rest of your life. Your wife will be 80% of your happiness / sadness of your adult life. Do not think you are below or above anyone. Being an employee sucks big time.Dont underestimate perseverance.

And pretty much reread everyday Soroyan short preface of "In the time of your life"

Fuca··on Yang To Step Down As Yahoo CEO
Can someone explain why Yahoo has not simply copied the adsense/adwords of Google wich is where all their profit comes from since they already have the same amount of users worldwide? They developed very slowly and still its notthe same thing.
Fuca··on Tell HN: I'm freee
Some thoughts about being there (back on rat race as now):

- You will feel better right away, what you said about being free its excatly right, and you realize how depressing was being trap on a cubicule kissing ass.

- Money is much easier to get, you realize that a salary is peanuts compared with how much you can do on your own if you make it.

- Live like a cockroach, the thing about not knowing where or if my next check will come make me realize I could live (and save money!) with half of what I made with a weekly salary, and in the past I was under credit card debt for going out meals and worthless stuff.

-You will find out that the urgency and strees to find an income will be a great motivation to make it. That is one of the biggest disadvantages in a job you do not have that feeling and that is probably what really makes the difference on the long run.

-Be honest to yourself and decide what you do ASAP, think it thru and once you decide give it all. Be quick on this on 2 things: to see if the field you choose have future and to move to try another thing fast, make sure you go into vocation whatever it may be.

-Dont fool yourself into laziness, have an area free of distractions and give it all. Family can suck all your time if you do not have clear boundaries and scheduale.

Little bit of my story:

- I was lay off in march, decided to sell some products, realized my bussiness model was not possible on the long run (I was not the owner of what I sell, mostly like an employee), but it gave me half of what I used to make on an office, and much better life, lots of free time.

If I had the same opportunity, I will have an "office" and scheduale, decide on a bussiness for the long run, not just to make money fast, be honest on doing what I liked even if took some time.

Good luck making it.

Fuca··on The Age of Big War Has Passed
Thats my name, laugh all you what but still those building exploded.
Fuca··on The Age of Big War Has Passed
Scott,

War is a hell of a business for the military industry, and that is why there will always be wars.

If you like science and are not afraid of what the truth maybe I dare you to do this: watch on youtube videos of the collapse of the WTC on 9/11 and explain how can fire cause it to explode? Why it turns to dust? Why the second building to collapse starts doing it from the top (can the sky put pressure on a building so it crash itself from the top, instead of on the dent that the plane made)?

I do not know either the answer to this, but as you point out in Gods Debris: "Just because I do not know how a magician makes his tricks does not make it magic", but those buildings exploded.

Thanks for all the laughs, yesterday comic was great.

Regards, Carlos
