If Selenium doesn't work, give Puppeteer a go. It's NodeJS-based though. How do you go about? Pretty simple. Define criteria, run Chrome Headless against it, and check results. Jest is a nice add on in your toolchain! As there are

Backdoors, dude, backdoors. Coupled with governments sharing data, officially and not.

No, dude, you're wrong. 15 an hour doesn't get you a skilled and experienced freelancer / contractor anywhere in the world. Good quality costs. Everywhere. It is cheaper than in the States, but not that much. If you're l

I worked on their UI when they were also offering hiring services via staff.com. Majority of freelance marketplaces use the same creepy tracking software for gigs paid by the hour.

Free enterprise coupled with a decent safety net is exactly what those countries you Americans deem Socialist are like. On top, they rank higher than the US in terms of economic freedoms, while some got more self made billionaires per capit

Bootstrapping is gaining traction. It's just not mainstream yet. And it doesn't sound sexy. https://indiehackers.com is literally HN of bootstrapping.

Argentina. Some really good tech schools, like UTN. Free. Living costs for a student should be about 5 grand a year. Spanish skills needed.

Depends on where. Europe, Asia, Latin America. SMS is dead. Messaging apps rule. Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, WeChat, depending on region.

Contract work outside of the startup world (or for a well funded startup that delivers real value) fits the description. Large companies, too.

Unlike E-Mail and landline phones, unsolicited calls and messages on mobiles and in regular mail are not illegal. Perhaps because both USPS and AT&T make a decent amount of cash off this.

More power to them! MailChimp is more deserving of unicorn status than vast majority of unicorns. It solves real world problems and helps real world businesses communicate with real world market. A happy MailChimp user here!

You and your company are separate entities. Many Germans incorporate abroad and it seems to work. What you have to report to the authorities is your personal income drawn from foreign companies you own or work for.

by wprapido 8y ago
Yeah, you should incorporate. Not only that, keep separate accounts such as hosting, email, payment gateway, etc. Incorporating abroad spares you of a hassle dealing with German bureaucracy as a company. Not as an individual. Same goes for

Hit LinkedIn and UpWork and try your luck. Initially, both projects and pay would suck. But, with more experience (that includes soft skills and business wits) and as your network gets bigger, you'll fare better, will find new sales ch
