Pakistan was created for political reasons to keep India busy and to make sure USSR don't get such huge country as its ally. It is now 75 years and Pakistan is still used by USA, Russia, China, UK and even smaller countries like Sri La

Yes. They only do bank to bank. But there is definitely a business model here. If you can offer subscription model and can do bank to bank transfer with 0.5% fees, you will disrupt the whole subscription industry relying on visa/Master

Reddit is pretty much built on argument and war of words. They send you instant alert if someone replies to you via 3 channels and want you to check that reply with constant highlighting of new mesages. They want you to keep track of your k

> Reddit is grossly overmoderated I think bigger problem is poor moderation. Most of the mods are driven by some agenda and even propaganda. Instead of focusing on quality, they focus on how their subreddit content can be aligned to thei

This. It will definitely hurt us financially as we have around 10 domains with 20 email ids. We can't delete them due to older emails but can't complain as Google did allowed free account for 10 years. I hope there is a service Mi

Are Skype and Whatsapp even comparable? Whatsapp was competing with SMS (at least in developing countries) and it had a killer feature of making groups. Anyone who had a phone moved to WhatsApp overnight as they didn't wanted to pay fo

But I can't send email reminders with Notion, right? Also I think we can't make weekly reports in Notion. I am thinking of using Microsoft Teams or will try to create a simple app by myself as last option.

Do you think SO can handle 10% of its current traffic if built using Ruby on Rails? I am building it for a region only so I know it can never get traffic comparable to SO.

There are plenty of contractors in India making $8-10k a month so there must be thousands in EU making $11k a month or more due to proximity and language advantage. Check freelancing sites to get some idea. Plenty of guys getting long term
