I love this idea but don't like the idea of paying. How about instead of paying money for the meal, have an option where you can host the hosts in return at your place.

May be this doesn't belong in this app or may be it does..

It works the other way around. Be who you are first.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Thanks!

I read somewhere that the challenge with posting your projects with Kickstarter is getting the attention of people and hence most of them do not reach their funding goal.

Thank you for sharing this info, very valuable.

very nice. is there a sdk from Polar? How do you go about writing such apps that talk to HRM?

Thanks

How is Lua to teach to 7-year olds? Any body has any experiences to share?

where are you hosting that the cost is only $5/month?

You are right, Universities provide that "appeal" but going forward, that won't matter anymore. Things just will change as people start realizing that that is shallow and start placing importance on gaining knowledge itself. The appeal then would be, how much you know, your expertise rather than where you went to school at. It is evolving and will continue to accelerate and the state of the economy will act as a catalyst. IMO.

Great products and Great marketing happen when there is no politicking and infighting that sometimes corrupts big companies. And that, according to the author, is achieved by secrecy.

Considering this, I think it is a good move, "He said the decision, ultimately, was to help prevent his company from following the path of Solyndra, which exhausted nearly all of its loan money on a high-tech solar manufacturing plant in Freemont, California. "

#2: Is Groupon Now doing this?

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

Words to live by. Here’s to a life well lived, Steve Jobs.

Perhaps, Destiny.

Edit: I mean, Is that goal what you want.. Really want to do?. If you were to die in 1 week, would you feel that you missed out on accomplishing your goal?

>A useful service would be to find customers who are willing to pay full retail price for your products.

The intent is that once you try and if the businesses treats the customer well, they would pay full price the next time. It is the businesses who don't understand this, that don't end up reaping the benefits.

Nobody discovers them because they offer dud deals like "Buy 1 get 1 Free" when you buy 2 drinks at full price etc.

Groupon ensures that the deals are good

what are some good frameworks to build html5 apps currently?

I was told by my financial advisor to buy CSCO because of its sound fundamentals, BUT after this, I will stay away from them, it is the least I can do.

How are they getting us to "share more", as the title says?

The article gives several examples of how things have changed from a few decades ago. Likewise, a few decades from now, things would be different as well.

This too shall pass.

The problem seems to be poor communication in English and lack of a grasp of educational basics such as reading comprehension. These are problems to be addressed at the high school level.

I attribute these squarely to the teaching methodology which is mostly memorization with no encouragement to creativity whatsoever. On top of this, the teachers in most schools are utterly incompetent and hence lack enthusiasm.

One solution may be to start private institutions that teach or increase the proficiency in such language skills (like how NIIT and Aptech did to computer education when schools couldn't do it).

Can you elaborate a bit? What kind of small businesses are you thinking?

How saturated is this market? Is there room for more? Are there niches?

In addition to all the great advice here, I would suggest you learn Meditation and practice it everyday, it will take just 20 minutes. While I don't guarantee anything in the short run, you will see benefits in the long run with regards to issues of this nature.

Is scraping data from the stores' site legal? Even if it is, is it a viable approach?

Edit: Is there a way you could work with the stores to get the deals directly?

How do you go about finding such projects in hard science? Is there a gigs board or is it through networking mainly?

Love the idea. I know some folks that sell home-cooked foods. This happens in ethnic communities. So that can be an option.

Also reviews are super important to decide.

Well, I want to invest that money in either gold bullions or in myself.

When you say, "if you're able to roll your IRA into a 401(k), depending on the trustee you could loan yourself half of it in cash",

do you mean, I could loan myself half of it without penalties. How does this work?

I like the concept of "niche" stores that happen to sell books. Case in point, here in Portland, we have a New Age bookstore that sells all kinds of stuff from books, cds, dvds, clothing, all kinds of accessories and conducts events for the community, and of course has knowledgeable and passionate staff and so it has become like the hub for the New Age folks. It's doing very well too.

I wonder if this is the way to go for other niches too.

Groupon refuses to inspire me. I am amazed at their growth, their adapting from ThePoint and their billion dollar valuations but I just don't see it as a viable business model Case in point, the two times I have bought such deals it was from Living Social even though I track Groupon every day.

So back to the original question, what inspires me is not one particular start up but all the open source contributions that are enabling these start ups including mine. It just wouldn't be possible for someone like me (full-time Windows dev) to bring my ideas to reality if not for the Ruby on Rails framework, jquery and the countless number of plugins.
