Is pickup/delivery $10 per load or $10 per pickup/delivery? What happens if the host ruins my clothes (because, for example, they didn't follow the included instructions)?

He said it's $7 where he lives; he didn't say he lives in New York.

I think his complaint is that the paid version only stops the person paying from seeing ads. A subscriber, for example, can't share their photos with a family member without them being interrupted by ads while viewing them.

Employers may not fire even at-will employees for illegal reasons, and firing someone because they are pregnant is illegal.

That would only be ironic if your goal was to save gas. But your goal in using such a service would be to save time, which you would be.

The live part would be really useful if the police decide to confiscate your phone before you have a chance to edit and upload anything.

I still see "Hacker School" in three different places on the apply page.

So you're mailing a bunch of flyers to people you know don't recycle? The project is cool but that struck me as particularly ironic, assuming your intention is to help minimize waste.

If asking the company to respect the value of your time is going to cost you the opportunity of working for said company than I wouldn't consider it a big loss. Chances are if they don't respect the value of your time now they wo

I don't think that means it's fundamentally unprofitable. It's a pretty standard strategy to grow the market by subsidizing early adopters. They can try to raise prices over time or benefit from economics of scale. Perhaps

Your employees probably aren't passionate about it either, unless they have significant skin in the game (equity). If the calls being outsourced are sales calls, you could pay a commission. That would lead to more motivated sellers at

Would there be enough incentive for customers to pay? In a word, no. Companies will often pay a lot to survey their customers. Getting the customers to pay to be surveyed sounds like a very tall request. And any incentive of value the com

The same kind of process works for pure dev jobs. So, you’re a Rails shop? Take a Rails application you’ve actually built and deployed. Carve out some functional areas from the application: remove the search feature, or the customer order

This is very true. The article also didn't take into account that some people need different amounts of sleep each night to function properly. There's a big difference between needing 6 hours and needing 10 hours.

It's still pretty standard to mine hands that you didn't personally participate in. Lots of players mine nonstop. You're right that you're probably crossing the line when you buy/share other people's datasets

I think I played a little over a million hands online and probably have a dataset with millions more on top of that. If you want it, I can probably find it and send it to you. Email is in my profile.

Unless I've misunderstood you, it's really not considered bad form at all. It's considered pretty standard amongst professional poker players that most everyone (at least the professionals) are all using some form of HUD (he

I don't watch much on YouTube so they may already do some of this but it seems to me like this would be an easy problem to solve if they so desired. Add a rating system where the content creators rate themselves and an easy way for vie

The title seems off. They haven't been caught yet. Burning man officials simply said they will find and cancel the tickets. That seems like something they might say regardless of whether they actually could do so. Can anyone explain to

Usually with side projects I bite off more than I can chew and never ship them. This time I tackled something a bit smaller, but hopefully useful. This adds a management command to Django that will automatically generate views, admin, url

I agree with all of that. I think this site has a lot of value as an aggregator. It doesn't solve the Popcorn Time problem though because it doesn't make legally streaming movies easy. It just makes them easier to find them. T

The site looks beautiful and the load time is terrific. You probably shouldn't have invoked Popcorn Time in comparison though because the value prop is totally different. This isn't streaming - it's aggregating. This isn&#

On the home page you have a question "How much does it cost?" and then ramble on without answering the question. That seems odd considering you do have a pricing page.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. In case you're not, here's an example, from Germany, to disprove that all calendars start on Sunday and end on Saturday. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar

I just read the article and looked at the image and it's still really unclear. It looks like you lost all your traffic immediately prior to switching to the subdomain and nothing in the article said otherwise.

Just because nobody alerted the authorities doesn't mean nobody else saw it.
