Interesting question. I tried to introspect a bit about the reason and I'm still not really sure. Maybe an American cultural influence of things like salaries being taboo.

It means I didn't want to get too specific about the amount involved. But I can see there's lots of interest in this question. I wonder actually if something like https://www.levels.fyi could be built or exists but for

Try the following: 1. Have at least 3 ideally 5 text-heavy pages on your site. 500 words minimum each. Tell your backstory, explain the advantages of your product, create an FAQ, ... 2. Make sure the site has a navigation bar somewhere with

I had trouble getting AdSense "interested" also. Depending on what Adsense is telling you I'd have varying suggestions if ads were still the way you wanted to go. The best ways I know to monetize something for consumers: ads,

My original domain was www.thetimezoneconverter.com. I can't remember what my original search was 10 years ago but I tried out a number of queries on Google Trends to see which variation of "time zone", "time zone calcul

Thanks! My dream actually is to do it full-time but there's only so much I can reduce my personal burn rate by. I also sent you a direct message.

Git is one of those bizarre products that has remained a leader in its category for almost a decade while being extremely difficult to use, even for experts. Another one of these products is Apache. Why is this? At least from my naive point

I tried a couple of searches and skimmed through your homepage and blog, but I couldn't find any information about the premium options. Could you share a link?

I hope he is able to profit from his story with book and/or movie rights. It's a fascinating story and I bet would make a great movie a la Captain Phillips or 127 Hours.

Unfortunately the statement is not true. One good reason to use short timezone codes like EST, CST, PST is that most people prefer them. One of the first surprising things you learn after launching a timezone conversion website https:&#x2F

Why doesn't the US have universal laws that cover price transparency in general? There are so many industries that get into shady territory: rental cars ("facility use fees"), hotels ("resort fees"), internet access

Incase it benefits others, I did a brief survey of static site generators and while Pelican looked great it had more functionality than I needed. I ended up using staticjinja instead. And after sticking with it for over a year now, I'd

Congrats on an amazing launch! You might though consider a new name before going to the App Store? Telling someone who doesn't read HN about your app would be very difficult because "mime" and "stream" aren't w

I wonder if a new product that would be similar to UserVoice or Fixya could help for this problem. Imagine a site that has elements from the above mentioned and also StackExchange or even the Apple Discussion boards. The input would be peop

It's not hard to reach a living person who works at Apple. The next step should have been reproducing it for that person. It's not clear that the finders in this story did that - it seems they might have been trying to find out ab

I still don't get why reporters or publications seem to refuse to link to the most obvious and central key piece of material to an article. Article on a new law being passed... no link to the raw text of the law. Article about a new sc
