    I agree with you, somewhat: there is not much of a server component to this game and we should get to play it forever and ever, and it is frustrating that we didn't know for sure a…

    I'd renew for a month to refresh the less usual commands in a heartbeat if it was $2-3 bucks! $25 is hard to swallow. I do feel like I got my $25 worth at the time though. It was a…

    Same here. I bought when it had just launched, wasn't complete yet and there was no mention of the license not being perpetual. Disappointing, but I did get a lot of value from it …

    Gotcha. The gap between hobby-grade solutions and business-grade solutions blows my mind every time.

    Possibly not, right? If you don't sort but instead use the machine to do the inventory of your bins, then you could have your software tell you which bins you are going to need to …

    Ditto. I think that's definitely what would sell at the best value. Coincidentally, it kind of simplifies the sorting problem too. Just do like Amazon and don't sort! Instead, use …

    Second that! Vultr offers OpenVPN as a one click app, it's super easy to get it running on a $5 vps.

    This is a hard problem to solve perfectly. I'm still stuck at the ID verification step, after sending in my documents. Never heard back. I'm the perfect corner case though, having …

    I used a sole proprietorship until the money started getting more substantial; that may not be a good idea if your business has large risks though.

    Some other resources that have served me well - not for incorporation per se, but the next few steps in setting up a healthy corporation: - Docracy.com has some good templates (con…

    I have no doubt things will keep chugging along, but the time and energy wasted through customs for the commuter working in Spain would be a major pain.

    My post was not bringing much to the discussion - I edited it to clarify my thinking. As British as the people of Gibraltar may feel, I don't think their patriotism will prevail ov…

    Gibraltar may want out too, they voted almost unanimously to remain and they probably won't want to be locked into their detroit by a UE border

    From my experience so far, sending an email to Charley is essentially the same as finding the info online since he answers so quickly! Great onboarding, I was really impressed!

    Plaid provides a better verification and authentication flow. Users authenticate with bank username and password rather than routing and account number so they don't have to hunt t…

    How would you work out the visas and taxes though?

    Yep, enterprise apps definitely fall under the "serious" umbrella :). If a middle tier is a foreseeable requirement then this architecture does lose a lot of its charm. I do think …

    For really small projects, a proper backend is not always necessary and talking directly to the db can speed up development. I wouldn't dare do that for anything serious though. Co…

    We need to educate ourselves. Such a startup weekend would be a wonderful occasion. Why organizers do not draw up a simple legal checklist is beyond me. Just drafting a paper signe…

    I've finally broken mine's digitizer, after two years of other serious falls and baths that had left it in perfect working condition. It might be for the best, considering each And…

    I never noticed because I'm actually using stripe.js to do the payment, and was only using the various validations from jquery.payment in a couple angular directives. I realized st…
