All successes lead to failures, and all failures lead to successes. No one moment in life can be completely disjointed from any other. The only finality is when life ends, and even that can be philosophically extended through the effect one has on those to come.

True dat!

Life isn't solvable, only livable. Some later "successes" require previous "failures". It's part of the whole life.

Some "successes" may lead to "failures" too.

elt0n commented on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses? · Posted by u/mdoliwa

Back in August I launched https://IndieHackers.com, a site where the founders of profitable online businesses share their stories and revenue transparently. I actually got the idea after reading lots of threads like this one on HN :D

Indie Hackers is my full-time job now. Is it "successful"? I think so! I've done over 90 interviews, and they've been read over one million times in the past 5 months, largely by you guys! I also made $2239 in December and hope to grow revenue another 50% in January. (As I do every month, I just blogged about that here: https://IndieHackers.com/blog)

I'm working on a podcast as well that I'm really excited about, as I've found it's a bit easier to get famous founders to agree to that format and to speak transparently about behind the scenes details.

I love IndieHackers!

this is an absurd agreement, i have never heard of something like this in germany. Is this common in other countries?

elt0n · 9 years ago

Seems to be the case in France as well, i.e, devs don't own their side projects.

The hope that one of my side projects will some day succeed, and I can leave my 9-5 is the only thing that drives me. If I said, "welp, legal" i'd die inside. Some people have church, I have side projects.

Ditto.

Are the player buttons supposed to work?

elt0n · 9 years ago

I'm thinking there's not enough bandwidth and the files can't load.

"In my view, the fact that niceness beats physical beauty is evidence of the existence of God."

Wait, what? Isn't this a highly subjective and religious claim that comes out of nowhere and isn't relevant to the article? Or is that a commonly used expression I am unaware of?

but gps is a must if you want accuracy.

elt0n · 10 years ago

But why does it need a GPS when the watch still requires a bluetooth connection to a phone, which already has GPS? Unless it doesn't need a phone anymore?
