The biggest barrier is making the choice to learn a new skill - which has been a huge barrier for humans since the beginning of time. For example, learning Spanish would be a huge asset where I'm from (Texas). Hardly anybody does it, h

I have at least 10 friends who are in the technology industry but don't know how to program. Every single one of them have been saying for years how they want to learn. None of them have. It takes more sacrifice than you think to learn

Cool. You should put the license somewhere on the site. (If it's there, I didn't see it.)

by 6thSigma 13y ago
Nice, thanks for the answer. Edit: So what is the license for this anyways? If I buy this, can I package it up and resell it? Can I use it for multiple clients?

Why should I spend $99 on this when I could spend $15 for a similar theme on ThemeForest or a site like that? (Not being snarky, I've never bought a theme on any of those sites and don't really know about how the licenses and stuf

Thanks! Ya, I definitely want to make the site more consumer focused. I get a lot of interest from the producer side but not as much from the consumer side.

Thanks! Nope, claiming is free. My monetization plan is charging for featured rankings on the home page and search results. I need to build a larger consumer audience before I could justify charging for that though.

This is awesome. I worked a bit on a recommendation system and it was so much more complex than I originally anticipated.

Have any projects been purchased yet? If so, you should market the hell out of that fact.

Has there ever been a bubble in low liquidity assets like startup equity? I would think high liquidity is a huge piece of a bubble.

My app was on the 'Trending' section of Google Play a couple of months ago and in comparison I received about 1,200 downloads. Trending is only featured for 24 hours and does not have as good of a placement on the store, however.

Always go native. Cross platform frameworks are still not very good especially in the design department.

Flagging does seem very powerful and I've seen quite a few 'Show HN' and similar posts flagged off of the front page for seemingly no reason. I assume bitter/jealous people are doing the flagging but who knows.

My dad recently went to the doctor for his hearing and ended up getting a hearing aid. We had joked for a few years that he needed one - but were kind of surprised when it turns out he actually did. He told all of his friends and family abo

Yeah, I get what you're saying. This is what I was thinking: Say Person A and Person B are working on a slide that has the text "Hello World" centered on a white background. Person A makes a change to the slide by changing th
