interesting, how would a self-hosted open source version make money tho in order to support itself and continue to upgrade? Is this even a realistic business model? Seems like this is what Scrapy is doing and what Import.io is doing. Make t

I am so stoked for this match, Lee Sedol is a child prodigy and a legend....I literally felt as excited as I was going in McGregor vs Diaz before the fight. I used to play Go when I was a kid on televised matches in Korea during the 90s and

Well when you compare the average income of an American vs Chinese which haven't reached even Japan's level, I would say Japan would be a better market for SaaS considering they have the money to pay (or should according to income

You know this is what I was thinking. HN is such an arbitary measure to gauge whether it's a vitamin or a painkiller. If one of their other idea suddenly got a ton of upvotes, they might have ended up with a different product. In my ho
