Great, sounds like you found a perfect product for your use case.

OK, that makes sense. I'm sure you've thought of this, but you are inline with your lead generators terms of service by charging for your product? I'd hate to see you get in trouble since you are getting some social tractio

To add onto this, how much manual intervention is required in creating the list and contacting them? I feel like there's a reason the competition costs so much more. Seems like, even with "AI" involved, there would be qui

Not sure why someone would do this, but even without a plugin you can go to General Settings and set New User Default Role to Author. This would give any new accounts the ability to exploit this.

I've always thought Crock Pot was a brand. It's the Kleenex of slow cookers. I call my slow cooker a crock pot even though it's made by some Target brand.

I googled it. What I found is "the belief that the tech industry isn’t diverse because of a scarcity of available talent".

I guess aren't all files "data files"? When I think data files I think of a file that contains data points (CSV, tabular, etc).

Yup, I was using chrome and was totally lost.

You pay per second of usage and the ACU starts and shuts down automatically. If your DB is only actually accessed a occasionally then you are not paying for 24hrs of usage. I think the auto-scaling is the draw though, not necessarily the

I think a change to the license model to make it subscription based and then the subsequent changes to the software along with a license server would have been just as effective. No need to rewrite everything and figure out the cloud relat

Did you mean COBOL or did he misspell it and that's why he couldn't find one?

SEO, cold email, etc. I'm sure even linkedin would be a good target for something like this since it's a pool of recruiters.

This is going to be dependent on a few factors (market, product, etc.) but I'd rather be an affiliate for a product with a proven track record of conversions unless I really love a product and just want to promote it. If I know a prod

You're on HN though. When I used to do websites I would give options with tiered prices. Something on SquareSpace (or similar) would be a cheaper option but I would let them know why. A custom, scratch built site would be 3-4x more

What are the selling points? It's been a really, really long time since I used one but I feel like side by side work would be constrained by it.

In a LCOL area and putting out 50% of income over 8 years would do it. FIRE people are a lot more aggressive than that.

Do you still have ChromeOS on it?

At the bottom there is a link to the inspiration for this project. It has a much better format. "You can already do this:" "Now you can do this:" which actually shows the differences. Really a simple explanation of wh

Technically you can. You can run a SSD array in RAID5, 6 or 10, and lose a little bit of performance but get the capacity needed.

We've been through most of them. I liked Hello Fresh but that wasn't amazing either. Even though ingredients are mostly prepped the preparation and cooking can be pretty time consuming. Lately we've been working on recipes w

I had pretty much the same experience. I programmed an API to talk to a payment gateway connected to a chase merchant account some years ago. It was not fun. When I setup Stripe I was confused when it was done and there weren't 25 mo

I had no idea either. I use it almost every day.

It'll be interesting to see how they can sell this as anything other than a kit car. Kit cars do not get held to the same standards as a manufactured vehicle, but you have to put it together or pay a shop to do it. Plus, you know, th

DO has bot-checking software too. They just (legitimately) caught some traffic on one of my VPSs and shut off networking, but that was due to having outgoing traffic exceeding 1000 Mb/s.

Or plugins. Then say "Hey, we now have this plugin available for only $x.xx".

This was before full-digital so probably not.

It's one of those languages that a developer can look at and think "Oh, so this is how non-developers see code".

Typically all that is in those boxes is a coupler. A guy I used to know still had service running to his line. He was actually stealing it though. He just kept hooking it back up after they would come remove it.

Any mention of PHP's merits at this point is going to start a flame war. It's pretty easy to be a terrible developer with it. JS/Node can allow you to be just as bad of a developer. The key to being good and getting a good

I installed bash-it. Works well and most of the themes seem to work ok.
