More. Please. Hurt me.
TotlolRon | 15 years ago | on: How To Handle Lawyers Threatening You
Ah. That really hurts.
Lawyers are fighting and downvoting is spanking. Naughty boy will not say bad things about honorable professions again. I promise.

> Lawyers exist to fight. That's their job.
Lawyers fight? We are not from the same hood...

TotlolRon | 15 years ago | on: Google "Reading Level" filter
Search for [Donkey].
Advance results bring the Equus africanus asinus from Wikipedia first. Good. Basic results bring Donkey (Shrek) from Wikipedia second. Google might be onto something here .... but wait.... what is it there at number one for the basic reader... humm... "YouTube - Donkey Rapes Man". Hummm... who are our "basic" readers? ... gota think about this feature a little more.... ;) Meanwhile, a classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRm8okHhapU

Ask me daily. I'll confirm once a week.
TotlolRon | 15 years ago | on: How I Screwed Up My Google Acquisition
I don't think you "screwed" anything. You can't force a relationship, and it is a waste of time to think about the email you didn't send. Had you sent it and got no reply, would you feel better? How about the email they didn't send? Maybe they are the ones who "screwed"?

Naaa.
If you have an idea and you learn how to implement it you might find yourself a single founder/creator.
You know what they say about those, right?
"What's wrong with having one founder? To start with, it's a vote of no confidence. It probably means the founder couldn't talk any of his friends into starting the company with him. That's pretty alarming, because his friends are the ones who know him best." -- Paul Graham, 18 mistakes, 2006.

TotlolRon | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What advice messed up your life?
Things along these lines:
As long as you've made something that a few users are ecstatic about, you're on the right track. ... It may take a while, but as long as you keep plugging away, you'll win in the end.
That's not realllllllly how it works in the valley.

Paying customer number one is what makes it a product.
True. But on this net....

> This is unfortunate - that seems like a lot of work for a relatively simple, albeit well-done app.
It takes a lot of work to make things look simple. And even more to make them well-done.

> How much would someone have to pay you to drown X months of development work and your entire userbase in the Deadpool?
Destruction is so much easier than creation. They don't have to pay you, they just need to send the in-house destruction team.

How much does it take to fix a "man barely alive" into something that is "better, stronger, faster"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA
