I've become more and more interested in mailing lists as entrepreneurial tools - what are some of the most popular mailing list platforms for premium list projects?

Substack is an up and coming one if a newsletter-focus is suitable. I've spoken to the founders, seem like nice guys. SitePoint just switched a newsletter to them. http://www.niemanlab.org/2018/02/with-an-increased-focus-on-...

Shameless self plug: perhaps you would be interested in checking out my product EziNews[0]

It is a curated publication builder, that allows you to curate content into a digest format, to output as a email newsletter, microsite and to push to you social media feeds.

I signed up about 10 days ago and got some interesting questions from Google, FB, Uber and Stripe. The explanations are well written.

Hey, this is pretty cool, I like how the questions are free, that's a good idea. I'm going to sign up!

Got the ole' Hacker News hug of death

Site unreachable

I'm disappointed we don't still call this "slashdotted" as a generic term - I understand why the digg userbase had an incentive to break the association, but it's still a little sad.

There is no way to contact you if we had any questions . for instance what language are the solution in ?

According to their FAQ, python.

Where is the FAQ - https://www.dailycodingproblem.com/

It is on the main page under the "Frequently Asked Questions" section.

> What language are your solutions in?

> Our solutions are in Python. We think it's the best language to use for interviews, as it's well-known and very similar to pseudocode. However, we're looking to expand to other popular languages like Javascript, Java, C++, and Ruby!
