Your points are very real world and interesting tixocloud, but at this stage I'm looking at some different options.

I've found a very interesting paper Trends in The Study of Cloud Computing: http://www.iiis.org/CDs2014/CD2014IMC/ICSIT_2014/PapersPdf/H.... I'm looking to do some work around the following topic: Findings of an exploratory study into the mechanisms at play when organisational processes are modified due to the introduction of cloud computing, and the implications such changes could represent for strategy.

I would like to have more opinions about the impact of cloud in value chain, corporate strategy, competitive advantage, SME/large corporation digital gap reduction. Any takers?


Reading a book and joining a startup would give you a very different opportunities and knowledge compared to a MBA in a top business school. In any case, if you have a technical background isn't easy to change into a Business role in a startup. I compare it as a self learn developer, it can achieve a great level but in my opinion won't match in average someone with a similar profile and with a theoretical background.


This is very good. In any case I want a tutorial if possible. Something with exercises.


I liked the very very good UI/UX, good job!

What are the technologies involved ?


It's a typical Rails 3 apps, Nokogiri used for scraping, PostgreSQL db (migrated from SQLite originally), jQuery+ui for the aucomplete (lazy, yay!), and that's about it :)


If you don't mind me asking...where (and maybe how) are you pulling the super high quality images for each movie page background?


The http://www.themoviedb.org/ are doing an amazing job. Using their V3 API right now, it's very nicely designed.


Impressive. Your autocomplete suggestions are high quality, even in foreign languages. May I ask how you are ranking suggestions results? It can't simply be the TMDB api, right?


Right now our search/suggestions is a direct API request to TMDb. Yes, they are that good (props to Fanhattan).

Re: foreign languages, they store very tidy information about all the available titles (basically a mapping from ISO 3166-1 to the title), cf. http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/api/movie-alternative-titles

Thanks for the feedback!


Thanks for sharing!

I think you view is very good, in any case my question was more about businesses not investments. I respect your point of view and understand that way of thinking.

I was curious to see what kind of advices a *llionaire could give.


While not there yet, if projections hold up, I could tell you the same thing again in ~5 years.

I misunderstood the question - but if your goal is to become a millionaire (and you are in your mid-twenties) and you keep chipping away at things like 401k, ROTH etc you will have a great back up plan, with the magic of compounded interest, should the business attempts not work out.


For the HNs who are rich. If you have to start it from the beginning.

What would be a good startup to you start, service/product ?


Great work with your site matt!

When do you update the file containing all the registered .com domain names. How do you handle the registered domains after you create the file?


He was embarassed to shoot it sooner.


This is key, after the idea you have the execution. A brilliant execution can only be achieve with a strong team. You can't excel in every quadrant, the thinking pattern and execution of an Hacker isn't the same of an Hustler. This is a great proof that the personalities you like less are the ones you need most.
