Google's sitespeed tool only has a, usually quite small, 'sample' of your speed time.

Increasingly you get led down an endless paper trail of showing documentation, code reviews & ccra is now in the business of sicking auditors on claims to aggressively deny them. Wasted time & headaches.

Many people miss a main point of Objectivism that sacrificing & helping others makes a person happy too. Hence you should do so in pursuing your best interests.

I think it gets left out as many feel they're coerced to do it now.

I bought the ebook version of Running Lean... it had quite a few diagrams that are quite useless in that form. I imagine business books with lots of diagrams. This might suffer from the ebook format too.

Lean startup SaaS tools bundling for cost is an idea I'm vetting now: leanmeanbundlemachine.com

Having read some of the comments already I vote heartily for radiant heating floors, green tech which does not cause more maintenance proceedures/confusion for next buyer, proper amounts of electrical plugs (id put them in the floor in the main living areas or at least at the very base of the floor molds. Lots of houses have ethernet cabling... I think you're safe with that. Air exchanges aren't sexy, but awesome.

hack summer - partly screened in deck/porch from mosquitos are wonderful.

Hey cellis, thanks. What I see in cases where we come up higher in SERPs is that the crawler just hasn't found the best content in google groups yet, if ever. I scratch my head over that one too, but ours is not to reason why. I don't see the index pointing to the same content in the landing pages typically either with my queries.

UI: LOL, yeah, it's a toss up here whether to make it prettier or keep it a bit old school.

as replied up the thread...

[I run osdir.com] Just to be clear we're not scraping content nor SEOing to death. We've been running our mailing list archive for almost 8 years.

To quote Matt_Cutts somewhere else in this thread: 'because USENET/mailing lists don't always have a centralized/canonical location on the web, which makes dupe content more of a potential issue. It's not the usual "Website X copied my website" scenario.'

If you dislike us that's cool, but just know we're not showing in your SERPs because of scraping & SEO trickery. A lot of people, maybe not you, really are finding their answer there. There's a lot of solid answers in inboxes.

what can I use to create the rock garden border they have in the reception: http://picasaweb.google.com/spolsky/FogCreekSNewOffice#52853...

youtube scaled on serverbeach. 'nuff said frankly.

I however would do AWS without question. (already on AWS, was on serverbeach - loved them though)

I'm looking for someone who creates cool apps to develop them in my company. If they're a hit we spin them out.

Interesting. I am willing to do exactly this if more feedback comes in supporting it vs what I'm currently proposing. Thanks Tony.

Gotcha. I'm hoping to flesh our more details from feedback.

My feeling and experience has been that you have to iterate through enough ideas until you find one that actually works. Good ideas fail too.

I'm adding info from feedback. This is a new idea for me so it's difficult to anticipate what people want to know.

Also, I'm not exactly stupid, just willing to take a risk.

LOL no. Just someone who hasn't a lot of pre-conceived ideas of what is/isn't possible. We have those already. LOL

What do you get out of it?: Great products/apps What do you require of said hacker?: Build Interesting Stuff Do want partial ownership or just someone to bounce ideas off of?: Partial Ownership. What do you mean by in-residence combined with we-don't-care-where-you-live? It means you're a part of our existing company charged with acting & creating like an entrepreneur. Basically you get a salary to work on your cool ideas.

Indeed. Finishing is a key characteristic.

Answer (not YC provided): nginx passes IPs in X-Real-IP HTTP header. If your bot trap is not customizable, you can set up mod_rpaf Apache module on app instance.

My ec2 instances are up.

Avoid any chair with arm rests which stick out to far foward and don't allow you to get close enough to your keyboard without having to lift your shoulders/elbows.

Being unsure of the specs I bought an Air at a local big box store so I could bring it back later if I was unhappy. I did. -no power-

What do the high profile sites sell for? 10x monthly revenue or more than that?

As someone who visits infrequently I've only seen 10x monthlies which seems ridiculous for a high profile site.

I would define a high profile site as any with a long existence, tons of traffice - but still off the radar, & consistent revenue... or some super flash in the pan breakthrough site like twitter (new & no rev).

I learning that rhel or centos are the way to go.

I've had -remote- machines running debian, ubuntu, or fedora & all do not upgrade well at all remotely. Frankly, if your distro doesn't have a "foo upgrade" that works, run away!

Stick to the budget. Never rely on hope when it comes to paying current bills.

Seriously, call serverbeach or get an AWS account.

"You might want to try to get a bank account or CC in the states, and fund it personally, and just not get the business deduction for it. I did that with Amazon's services, before they accepted credit cards."

How did you manage to do this?!?!? A friend in the US?

Yahoo Publisher Network. Adsense from yahoo. Their contextual ads are supposedly not as good as goog's but the eCPMs are reported to be much better.

I still bet you all end up working on building the next facebook despite, as I write this, DHH has the most votes. LOL
