This does seem partially misguided - Tim Ferriss himself does say that he spends a lot more than 4 hours a week on projects, because he doesn't see that as work, instead they are projects he chooses to do because he enjoys them (similar to the author of this post).

Welcome to Australia...

Would definitely consider staying for longer, possibly even the whole 2 weeks - just depends on what is recommended.

Fantastic - not sure why you were downvoted, this is definitely my favorite solution! Thank you

newsisan | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Emacs starter kit?

Thanks for that, I used org-mode previously so went with this one. Can you briefly explain the literate org-mode addon and your init.org? Thanks

That was not my opinion, it was from the linked thread at the top.

Can I buy it now, and create an account some time in the future and will I still get the lifetime startup plan?

But hurry! This special price is only for the first 500 copies. At number 501, the price will be $49!

Hmm. So how does that add to $45,823?

newsisan | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would a game to teach Bash & *nix be worth-while?

Maybe user chooses how much they pay?

Don't write this on there, but have default at 20, minimum at 1/3/5/10 and obviously no maximum. I'd pay $5 if its good :)

newsisan | 15 years ago | on: Outsmart your brain by knowing when you are wrong

I wildly overestimated (700) due to the emphasis you placed on telling me how much I was likely to underestimate!

Maybe move that section to after the part where you ask the readers to guess?

newsisan | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How would you organize/classify/sort your ideas?

Interesting! Do any of you use criteria and categories to organize ideas? Ie usefulness, time required, etc.

If you are asking what I think you are asking, check out Blank Canvas Script Handler for Chrome. It is like GreaseMonkey for chrome.

Would appreciate if the title was changed to something a bit more descriptive.

Tl;dr - site called Gigapie(.com) allows you to buy and sell companies, but only on their site, you can earn real money if you do well.

"Gigapie lets you virtually trade hottest web companies & make real money. It is fun, safe and lucrative"
