edwardliu··on Psychology of Clickbait
Movie trailers are baits too. Every product/service has a "clickbait" why can't articles have them too?

Magazines with hot women on the covers are buy-baits too.

The point of writing stories is so that people read them. If as long as the content is satisfactory, clickbaits are more than logical.

People are just used to traditional news concluding everything in the title. What if we've always only clickbait titles? Would you feel the same way? Our next generation will probably see this as a norm.

edwardliu··on Business Ideas for 2014
A lot of these ideas are great. Perhaps executable for other countries as well. Thanks Scott!
edwardliu··on Ask HN: How did you finance your start-up?
With the money I saved up on my first job. I'm usually quite Lean. I found a co-founder who owned a developer team. I gave him a small percentage and some "salary" to get it started.

Also, I'd never ask for money until my startup already has traction.

edwardliu··on A universal income is not such a silly idea
This is the best timing for this. When the cost of things are driven down anymore, universal income makes more sense than ever.

After all, there's no truth in "having" to work. I think there should be the freedom to choose if you'd like to work or not.

I've always pondered why people think you "need" to work. You "need" a job.

I like working, and have a job, but I know many people are fine getting by, and it stresses them out for having to work everyday, which I think is perfectly fine.

Well also true. we are trying to just get more users to get feedback, but I guess making it unlocked by signup would give us more "serious" users.

Actually, we are not planning to charge for the guide. The goal of the guide is to help startups. Startups don't have extra money to spend, so we're not hoping to make money off them anyways. We'll have other premium features in the future to make some dough :)
