How much traffic did your site(s) get?

People keep asking the OP about his apps, and their answer is very a very vague "the account has 2 droplets which serves 2 mobile apps and does crawling 20-30 sites hourly". My question is what do the apps do? That could easily be

My partner and I sleep alone. We are both light sleepers.

Sleep masks make me sweaty and squish my eyeballs. I opted for tying a silk scarf around my head instead. Luxury.

There is so much less IE8 BS in back end. Front End takes 800% of my time because of variable browser nonsense. Even with JQuery.

I totally relate to your frustration here, but you are being petty in your reaction. If you would like to change the way the language works, hostile personal attacks are more likely to turn people against your cause.

Im no neuroscientist or psychologist, but the stress of being sized up by other monkeys based on superficial first impressions that you know you dont happen to be very good at making, is WAY different than the stress that gets produced when

I was only in India for a month and I am not joking or exaggerating that the constant threat of sexual violence also gave me what people could call PTSD. Even making eye contact with men was perceived as an invitation. I could do nothing ri

Thats true. I hear you on the reporting. I have a bias because I am used to looking at tables of data maybe!

Just some first impressions about your pricing. Seems steep to me for something that I can whip together fairly fast myself (and I imagine most with JS skills could). Maybe I am not your target audience though. Its a great idea nevertheless

It works for me now. Thinking more about it my ff has been acting up lately... it was probably my browser.

1. Dont rush into anything that costs you a ton of money 2. Spend as much time learning about yourself as you do about different career fields 3. Dont take advice from career counsellors or program advisors. In my experience most of the tim

After 5 it becomes unmanageable for me. I typically have a little more than that. My remedy is similar to my data management strategy: If its junk deal with it now. Delete/close the tab now rather than filter through it later. Anything

I think very few people truly do great things all on their own. Go the social happy route. You cant make a difference if you cant connect with people.

Is it really that hard to catch up? I hope not.

Who cares if they showed up as a swat team or as one 'friendly' sheriff. Thats not the point. The point is that we are being surveilled in the most creepy way. Mount your ipad on your wall and start calling it a telescreen.

14" T430s here. I love it and it weighs nothing. It plays excellently with Linux. The battery life is supposed to last 5hours, but only lasts 2-3. I might have a lemon battery though. I still recommend it.

ORIGINAL QUESTION: Is there anything I can do to save my SaaS startup? Its kind of insane to suggest someone jump bail and flee their country without actually knowing their full situation and them as a person.

You are giving this advice not even knowing which country the poster is in!

Forget the ring. Its a thing. Take the extra money and take a pre-wedding trip to Central America! Memories dont get lost down kitchen drains (at least until the alzheimer's kicks in). If my BF wasted thousands of dollars on something

>>If the data is open, there's an opportunity cost of a significant competitive advantage I think I get what you are saying, but if you could elaborate on what you mean by this, it would also be helpful! :)

I am all about Open here. I like that idea, but I am holding off on being too serious about money-implicating stuff for now. Just want to work on validating the concept: will people actually use the site, am I making any design or technical

Thanks. Beta isnt necessary, you are right. Money... not sure yet. Thinking of charging a couple of bucks for people to post events/extra curricular lessons (festivals, summer camp, karate). Also thinking of charging a couple of bucks

Awesome, thanks! Were you on a mobile device? It does/should prompt you to share your location so that it can zoom to your area accordingly. Did it not prompt you? (uh oh)

Terrible advice! Stressing people out typically makes them less competent and more prone to error. Teenage passive aggressive drama rarely works well in the workplace... or life in general.
