I could never imagine taking a course on Entrepreneurship. It's something you learn by doing. At least it is for me. There's also so many good books out there...
Being good at math is like a superpower (at least it seems that way to a creative/language minded guy like me). Math requires schooling more than entrepreneurship.
Go with the math, and while you're getting really good at it, you'll come up with an awesome business idea that will help guys like me learn math faster.
Again, I've got to say you need to differentiate to survive. There have been several HN clones in the past year or so (remember lamernews.com?) but none of them differentiated enough.
Please don't make the same mistake. Like Steve Jobs said: "Be Different".
A quick but of advice: give the site some personality - visually, I mean. It will make a difference. People will respond to it better and respect it more.
If it looks like an HN clone, that's how people will treat it. Differentiate.
Reading her list reminds me of when I worked in a record store back when I was a teenager.
One thing I quickly learned is when a grandma asked what album/artist do I recommend for her grandson, she wasn't asking for MY recommendation (i.e. Zodiak Mindwarp and the Love Machine or whatever the heck I was listening to).
// Cars have come a long way, and their impact on the environment will be just about none by the time we could get a ring of walkable suburbs built just outside the perimeter.
Your comment is uninformed. Cars lead to ever-expanding roads, which results in:
- Deforestation
- Poisoning of ground water sources (your soon to be drinking water) due to chlorides in rock salt used on snowy and icy roads, as well as the oils, grime and toxins that are released off the roads when it rains
- More air pollution (you think everyone can afford a Prius?)
- More taxes for YOU, regardless of whether you live in the suburbs or not. New suburbs require garbage trucks to go farther out to service the new areas, as do fire trucks, police and rescue. The power grid, plumbing etc has to be extended as well
- More taxes for YOU AGAIN, because now these roads need to be maintained and fixed regularly
- A greater reliance on cars, more accidents, more death to domestic animals and wildlife alike
- More suburbs, more roads and more driving results in higher blood pressure, road rage, higher risk of depression, flu and even heart attacks
And the list of harmful effects go on. Cars aren't just killing our cities, they are emptying our pocketbooks and compromising our physical and psychological health.
Zero to Superhero: http://zerotosuperhero.com took me four and a half years to research, write then format and self-publish, so I know how much work it can be.
In Ontario and in other cold wintery places, many homeless cats starve and freeze to death during the winter months.
How can we let that happen? Well, pet owners let that happen when they don't spay or neuter their beloved cats.
Something to consider.
