Ironically, I
only make Google money through YouTube when I'm
not a registered user, because when I am I have AdBlock on and it's only when I'm in an incognito mode or different browser/profile that the ads get shown.
So yeah, users not necessarily the most relevant metric there. Which, upon reflection, makes YouTube even more of a steal than it looks in the chart.
Did you even watch any of the videos? They're like 10 seconds and not edited. If you're not spending more than 10 seconds on your actual activity... I... don't even.
Wow, you made a new account just for this?
I think what Give It 100 does is that they take away a lot of the overhead from documenting so that you can focus more on the doing. Like, it lets you be publicly accountable for your progress in a simple and enjoyable way, without needing like... a youtube account?
If you want to make the challenge even more intense, you can try a service like Beeminder that'll charge you if you don't commit every day. It can hook into Github, I believe.

The founders actually use this themselves, making a mandatory UVI (user-visible improvement) every day, inspired by pg's advice "startups rarely die mid-keystroke... so keep typing!" See here for more on that: http://blog.beeminder.com/rails/
Gwern posts articles, but not in blog format. If you look on the sidebar for this page, for example, you'll see it was originally published in 2011, and just recently modified.
This is the closest thing to what you're looking for:

This is just how Medium is. Of debatable merit.
My prior on that is extremely low, so my guess is that's like, of the posts that make front-page? Or of the top posts. What this really reflects, therefore, is something more like how up-votey people are.
> "Dogs" occurs more times in titles in r/aww than "cats" or "kittens"
That can be a fact.
> Despite their internet popularity cats are not submitted nearly as many times on this cuddly SubReddit.
Or dogs are rare enough that they're worth naming, because cats are default. Seriously, run whatever calculations you want, but be careful about what conclusions you draw from the numbers.
Huh? He wasn't married before. But yeah, he left his girlfriend to keep her safe. Apparently she knew absolutely nothing until he blew the whistle.
Typed "fav". Hit Tab. Did not complete. Wat.
I typically dance to music that makes me feel cool while walking to job interviews. So far it has worked really well.
Worth testing, but in my experience stock photos of people make websites look cheesy and fake. Untrustworthy, even. Like one of those fake sites to gather extra domain traffic.
Yeah man, add more syllables
Then it'll be billable
Send me an invoice and it'll be fillable
With more rhymes available
You'll need to make it scaleable,
'cause when a saas is failable
it'll be hard to pitch it
your users will ditch it
instead of pitching in to help
they'll be bitchingin' for help
sucking all your time away from development
yup, it's a crime, when you see where it hella went
I got deliberate rhymes inside the lines
I'm not illiterate, but words blow my mind
I'm here killin' it, but I'm not just killin' time
Because I'm willin' it: this creation is mine.
The scales still have a way to go. Sure, it's sometimes more acceptable to make sweeping negative generalities about men than women, because we're more tuned in to misogyny than misandry, but the reality remains that women still have serious issues to contend with, including by not limited to:
- lack of representation in media (look up the Bechdel test)
- street harassment
- pay discrepancies
- discrimination in hiring processes, etc
And even calling women "sweet" isn't always appreciated. See http://rookiemag.com/2013/04/no-more-nice-girls/
I get that this reads funny, but I think it's fairly clear what he means...like, reworded it might say:
"I essentially have a BSc and MSc, through self-studying, but the only degree I got from an academic institution was my PhD."
I would assume the main reason is to share Kindle books.
I'd definitely at least try it out. I don't have a lot of bones to pick with gmail but an awesome UI can often convert me.
I highly recommend Cal Newport's (e)book, So Good They Can't Ignore You, which tackles the issue that passion is not always enough to succeed. I think it would help you make your mark.
I think when I bought an Arduino, this is really what I wanted.
