   Drum & Bass is my main love, so I listen to my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/pandadnb But I've getting back into grime, garage and acid house lately through Rinse FM: http://rinse.fm/player

   It's an outdated system which is not relevant anymore. Luckily you and many people like you are increasingly duscovering this life does not equate to happiness and in many cases actively avoids reaching happiness (e.g. 9-5, office hier

    Thanks ezl. What do you consider profits though? I have no costs except for a cheap Linode VPS (and my own salary?).

    Yes. This is from the last two posts: 31.64% Macintosh 24.01% iOS 22.29% Windows 13.93% Android 6.95% Linux That's ~55% on Apple browsers and at least 65% on Webkit (if you assume everyone on Mac, iOS and Android is on Chrome/S

    Thanks so much for the feedback and I agree completely. I need to tell about the product. I will relaunch it in the next 7 days.

    You might be suffering from the fact that HN seems predominantly OSX-based and your app is for Windows 8. From my stats, only 1/5 of HN is on Windows.

    Not yet, I'm finishing the launch version this week and will start posting it around then. Thanks for the tip :)

    Exactly. I'd pay 20 baht (USD 0.60 or EUR 0.40) for 4 bananas from a street vendor or market. I'd pay 10x that in the super market. Super markets here are for the high society, tourists and expats. It's not going to be cheap

    Re: apartments, that's simply not true. A 1-br apartments in Bangkok is not $1300 - 2000 per month. You might be paying foreigner/expat prices and getting heavily scammed. I found a 1-br apartment 5 mins away from the BTS (public

    Exactly. The culture of the judicial system works in a wholly different way in developing nations than in the West. They don't practice laws like we do. When you cause trouble in Thailand, they'll find any law you might have broke

    You're absolutely right on most of those points. With regards to the racism: I did experience it when I entered night clubs, and it felt weird I had to pay an entrance fee and the Thais did not. But on the other hand, I know foreigners

    They are quite used to me moving around a lot and just want to see me happy. I am now in Saigon and my next stop is probably Phnom Penh and then celebrate NYE in Hong Kong. Berlin is awesome! What are you working on?

    by pieterhg 13y ago

    Yes, the law is not ready for this set-up yet. But as you mention, unless you cause trouble, it's not really in the Thai's interest to enforce that you might officially be breaking the law by working (even if it's for yoursel

    Yes, from what I've heard, most do learn it in school but they don't practice it. So most can speak very rudimentary English but that's about it. The university-educated and higher society do speak English a lot better. In a

    You can get a 3G data card for $20/m from TRUE. That gives you fast 3G in all major city areas, and free ridiculously fast Wi-Fi all-over Bangkok. I'd upload 2GB videos for my YouTube channel daily on those connections. If there w
