Affordable immigration services that doesn't suck. For example, let's say I am a guy from an Asian or African country. I input all my basic data (nationality, age, qualifications, experience etc), it should analyze and tell me the

I've a colleague who said "I was raised by television". Growing up, I didn't have TV until 9th grade, so I couldn't understand. Then I watched kids of my friends and family - one of the easiest ways to make them qui

All of it is true. But installation wise, WP is way easier than ghost, especially for non programmers.

Yeah, click bait title. Just like that other Pando article on Uber (the title mentions riot, whereas the article has nothing to do with riots). There are blogs that make tons of money though like copyblogger, smashing magazine etc. This doe

Advertisers? They have to pay for the ads, why would they want someone who is not from their target market watching the ads?

Another story - I walk in on my first day (this is a subsidiary of a HUGE company). Nobody remembered that a new guy was supposed to join that day - so no desk or computer for me. First couple of hours I spent reading magazines, then I was

No, I had another offer that I took. I'm an average programmer and was able to do the task easily, but that codebase really scared me. Plus the other job was to build something from ground up and I really liked the CTO, so I took it. T

Are there any SaaS services that take care of hosting, selling, billing etc that small bands can use? May be the SaaS app can take 10% of the sales or something like that (like udemy, but for music)? If there are, what are the reasons the s

If consumers buy directly from artists they love (wherever possible), that can help too. Didn't Louis C.K, Aziz Ansari etc sell their work themselves? May be this will work in music too?

That is not a valid argument. The happy apple fans are consumers , they are not the ones losing their livelihood here, they are just buying a better quality product. I guess meesterdude is not talking about them, he is talking about those

One of your apps is to view Access DB on Macs. I'd have never guessed in a million years that people are still using Access, and that it is possible to build a business on top of it. Goes to show that all these rankings etc don't

Thank You for the answer. wow, that must be a nice feeling to solve their problems :) For someone who is just a programmer, how do I find such problems?

Another request to add to OP's post - could you also add how you got started, especially if it is SaaS? Meaning, how did you get the idea first for your service/product?

The best volunteering opportunities are those where one can learn something new and/or interact with those people which normally they wouldn't. I've washed dishes, worked in a warehouse, written code etc - they were all fun,

Totally agree. For most people, even on HN, it is really hard to identify with all those multi million dollar fundings and billion dollar buy outs. This on the other hand, shows what is possible by one person and how it is not that easy t

Many people truly believe in not doing anything related to their career/job outside of their workplace. They do something totally different instead. One might train for a marathon in her spare time, instead of learning the newest JS

Could you explain why you find Atlas Shrugged mind blowing? I read "we the living" and "The fountainhead" and found them quite annoying. Haven't read Atlas Shrugged, just curious if I am missing something.

Charging money will definitely reduce the number of stupid comments, but that is not totally foolproof either. On Amazon, I've seen many times people leaving bad reviews (after paying for it) not because the product was bad, but becau

1. Make Udemy courses (and sell elsewhere also). There are lots of topics which still don't have good courses on Udemy, even though they claim to have tens of thousands of courses. Example: http://www.businessinsider.com
