I talked to an MS recruiter a couple years ago who said they hired more graduates from Waterloo than any other school.

Something missing from the list is how vibrant it is: it's a hard-working student body + people who attend the school for tech + local companies. -Waterloo grad

There's no reason why customer support can't scale. That's just another kind of scaling problem. I think the explanation is actually that it's too expensive and Google has done quite well not offering that level of service.

Look on Craigslist and Kijiji in North American cities and reach out to people looking for websites. Charge people $500-1000. Repeat monthly.

That's the headline number from the statement of claim, not how much they're entitled to. You can write whatever number you want in a statement of claim, and they did!

Although helpful for US lawsuits, the article is about Canadian law so none of this would apply.

I attended an event in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada in the summer with about 50 local developers. At the end they had an informal few minutes where people who are hiring can stand up and pitch. There were a half dozen people from medium to lar

You might enjoy the free legal data service offered in Canada that has most of the cases that you can find on Westlaw/Lexis: canlii.org. It could be more open, but it's free and works well.

It also wouldn't have $0 ROI because there are people who will pay for advanced services built around the law-making process. Here's an example of a service built on Ontario laws (disclosure: I made it): www.ontariomonitor.ca. It emails peo

Contract programming? Try advertising on Kijiji/Craigstlist. There's always people out there who will pay you to make a website. Takes away the risk of not making anything from the site.

Not really a defensive reply, because I don't live in the US, but across the border in Canada we have a very similar culture and very safe public transportation. I grew up in downtown-ish Toronto and never saw a crime. There are crimes, jus

Not just complexity, but vagueness. Good luck writing a program that calculates what's "reasonable". Was the construction work a "repair" or an "upgrade"? How about determining what would be a reasonable amount for someone to pay if they we

Your neighbour to the north does this. It leads to vague advertising that tells you about some problem and encourages you to ask your doctor about it. Doesn't seem to have been the end of the world.

That's almost exactly the distance between Shinjuku (Tokyo) and Sendai, Japan. $40 cheaper + an hour faster by train. I think that's the alternative. High speed rail. If you happen to live by Omiya's station (about 30mi closer to Sendai), y

This is a service that I've seen before. Not yours of course, but others like it. Why would I use yours as opposed to the others out there? All I see is that your product is "easy". It's probably a great service, but you've got to let peopl

Good way to get attention to your service, and I did check it out, but, uh, pricing? Would have considered service but unknown cost made me head back to HN.
