TL;DR In the broader economy: "Almost every asset is overvalued," For those of you that followed the hashtag #2014GC last week you saw this: "The quantitative easing and the excess money and the low interest rates have…
The fellowship, and Hackers program looks promising. However, it appears to leave out a position for the OP's brother. As he mentioned there are many people with deep insight into a problem, but lack the technical…
If you're looking for something to contribute to, TheOdinProject looks like a fun project. I saw them on HN a few weeks ago (March 25th). https://github.com/TheOdinProject
There's ~3 hospitals in the USA that have transparent pricing. If you're interested in disrupting healthcare the founder of The Surgery Center of Oklahoma has a blog on pricing transparency.…
The speed is what's impressive. One can build a structure in California for a similar price. It seems people often over estimate the hard costs of construction in the first world. It's cheaper than people think. In…
Instead of spending money on a dev boot camp maybe try going through The Odin Project, and beefing up your github. Then maybe join TreeHouse temporarily just to have them help you find a job.…
It's disappointing when the rich complain about the poors. If you're rich stop complaining about ObamaCare and build a better a better product/service. Billionaires, gather a few of your friends in a room & build a…
Yeah, the $3T the FED printed is accomplishing its purpose of keeping asset values inflated. That being said, remember when everybody said Facebook was overvalued, every time they had a funding round? Well, they never…

Fintech entrepreneurs: If you want to help solve the underfunded pension crisis in the world, and/or help increase the wealth of the bottom 95% work on building a product that allows non-accredited investors to crowd…
Maybe we should also pay people to study math as well. [$10] for each Khan Academy lesson they pass. It'd cost ~$2,500 to educate one person on the entire math curriculum. I think it's plausible, in the future, we will…
For those of you that didn't realize "Tiny House" was a thing, here's a fb list I created of Tiny Houses: https://www.facebook.com/lists/4064803732495 ph0rque, your AutoMicroFarm side project looks interesting. It's a…

How would you parse lists and tables from a website? e.g. parsing an online schedule in order to use the data in a responsive mobile or native app? Random site example: peoplewhodance.net/events/NYE/schedule.html
Revenue Multiple would make a more useful chart to me. Broadcast.com had $60M in revenue when they sold. Knowing they sold at ~98x revenue seems more useful to me when pricing a stock.

"...the poor man’s $550 fridge from IKEA"? I'm sorry, but if one is poor they are not buying $550 fridges from IKEA. They're buying $100 fridges off of Craigslist.
The time is already here. Anyone can now buy panels at ~$0.50 per watt, from Alibaba. To power a 10,000 watt home costs ~$5,000 in panels. Add $1,000 for an inverter and misc, add another $4,000 for installation labor…
