Hi, I don't know python at all but I'm assuming you know enough to do a fetch from a URL. If that's the case, why not use YQL? http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/two-minute-tutor…

Sure. Send me an email at daniel@mindquilt.com and I'll send you my phone number.

That sounds like a great deal. Assuming you make the same amount of money and it wasn't an aberration... 2months X 4 weeks X 4K per week = 32K. Minus operating expenses for 2 month…

Wow. Thanks for reply! I'll work on a new draft now and replace the body later after getting more feedback. Thanks for your two minutes!

Hi HN, We’re a four person company started in February. We’ve been in private beta and are now moving to public beta. The basic idea is a whitelabel Q&A application used in compani…

Ugg, don't do what we did. We basically turned on the PR waaaaaaaaaay to soon. Get out your pen and paper, draw some screenshots, identify who your customers are. The thing here is…

Just go to Steveblank.com Seriously, figure out if there is a market before doing any work or spending any money. Just because things like istockphoto and cobras exists doesn't mea…

You said that you have only spent 30 Gbp so far in one of your comments. Spend another 30gbp and buy four steps to the epiphany by Steve Blank. Then I would go out and find some ph…

Well I planned on posting a rate my startup question this weekend since we're just starting a hackathon tomorrow to squash some bugs, but the way we think we're going is a online i…

To the question on hand: I'm from Texas and I have no idea what you are talking about when you say footfalls (insert joke about Texans here) I would consider your target audience. …

If you like SciFi, I really recommend Ian M. Banks and his Culture Series. Here is a link to the "first" in the series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_Phlebas Basically to g…

I think your app suffers from the same problem my startup app has, which is the empty canvas problem. So basically your app seems to allude to a lot of power and functionality, whi…

If you are a company outside of the EU (like the US) make sure you mention that you are VAT exempt so they don't charge you for that.

Agreed. But note that it's more like a textbook rather than an inspirational read. Don't expect to "finish" over a few bathroom breaks (unlike rework (which is great also (but more…

I really like Drunk and Retired. It's done by Michael Cote at Redmonk and Charles Lowell at the Frontside. Can get a little offtopic sometimes (like tangents about Austin traffic) …

If you back those out (assuming that they had equal subscription so could be a random variable), what were the next two reasons?

Also if you explain that you are an American company (if you are), they will waive the VAT which bring down the cost per month to 44 usd or something.

A fast evolving tax situation. With the new laws regarding pfas, a lot of my friends have been trying to restructure. Ro used to have a great structure called the microenterprise. …

As stated in the other comments, there's really not enough information. I would lean towards #2 because of what Mark Suster calls, learn before you earn. #1 you're going to have to…

actually, if you know java fairly well, I can introduce you to some EU contacts that could make the move possible for you next month :) If you (or anyone who wants to work in Germa…
