Isn't this exactly how Freelancer/odesk/whatever work now?

#32"Subscribe to news without paying $30/month per website" I don't think there is a legal way of actually doing this.
Well, a "Spotify for news" could be made. I know of several attempts.
https://blendle.com/ seems to be the most promising one from what I've seen

#33These customers/RFPs are way below market rate for software development. Given the reality of working with clients, these proposals are likely to result in developers taking a bath.
This isn't developing a product and giving it to a client. This is for developers to see clients saying "I would pay $X/mo for Y," developers to build it and then be able to charge those clients for it.
Anyone who's pre-launched a SaaS knows you're lucky to get 50% of people who said they would buy to actually buy. People lie all the time. But this is a good gauge. Think an app that does Y is worth $50/mo but there's a dozen people saying they'll pay $100/mo for it? Great! A dozen people saying they'll pay $10/mo for it? Not so great.

#34Just not enough money...
Re: Show HN: Get Paid to Build Your Next Side Project
#35> GET PAID TO BUILD YOUR NEXT PROJECT > Choose a problem below to get started. Get paid to build _my_ next project or _your_ next project? This is clearly a two-sided platform, but the messaging seems conflated: the headline speaks to builders and the instructions speak to end customers.
It appears to me that this is a tool to identify a market / need that is not being met.
There are people who simply want a product/service, no desire for ownership. They post what they'd be will to pay for it, as a customer, and you decide if it is worth your time to build it.
Anyone? Am I understanding this correctly?

#36> Identify location of text in an image ...for... $75
This is what my doctor charges for a flu vaccination.
I guess I've chosen the wrong profession.

#38I actually need the first item listed there (InDinero replacement), but I signed up and am sort of confused?
I would very likely pay for this feature, but I'm not willing to commit to much unless it works. I would pay a nominal amount to "kickstart" it I guess, and have the option to sign up later.
But it's a fairly nasty problem - porting your books a proprietary platform to QuickBooks seems full of traps.

#40Cool seed for a community! Seems to lack a place for discussion about submitted ideas, so I'll follow others' lead and discuss here.
The "industry specific deep learning" project is similar to something I'm working on right now. Though I'm not planning to charge for it.
To any folks here interested in this: Are you looking for a tool to get started in ML or for a resource to apply existing ML knowledge to a specific (possibly new) domain?
