FaisalAbid··on Facebook Code Details
Hey, this isn't possible sorry. I suggest the best thing to do is block your bullies and ex off facebook. Make your account private and only exclusive to a few friends.

If you need someone to chat with or help you lock down your facebook, feel free to email me at faisal.abid@gmail.com.

Bullying is tough but know that it's not the end of the world. There is no easy way out of it, but there are many ways to avoid it and start to get away from it.

FaisalAbid··on How can I spend $10,000 in 1 day on Facebook?
Yea for sure, can't hurt. Plus you'll be able to tell which audience converts better.

Though 1 day time frame is short to make that judgement call, but it's a start

Setup a CPI campaign for your Android or iOS app and put a reasonable bid for your target audience. 10k should generate you a good amount of installs.

FaisalAbid··on The real reason about windows 10 is not windows 9
I do not think this is the real reason. They could easily fix this issue by changing what os returns to something like "Windows Nine (9)"

Link to thread?
FaisalAbid··on Ask HN: Should a startup seeking investment use GitHub?
What the f. This argument has no merit.

Why would an investor care where the code is hosted? GitHub to their credit is pretty respected and handles private repos with great care.

I personally use BitBucket because of the pricing scheme, but I don't think the investor even needs to know where the code is hosted.

FaisalAbid··on Ask HN: I need help with Amazon SES as I'm stuck building my software. (URGENT)
If SES doesn't allow you, then take a look at Mandrill.
FaisalAbid··on Ask HN: How can I improve the design of my side project, TakeItApart.com?
Your website serves a niche population and imo design is not the problem.

Try some advertising and get the word out about your site, people will overlook the design if the utility and usefulness is there.

FaisalAbid··on Custom Builds for Android
I didn't realize this was a new feature. Added this the past weekend in production and its awesome. Cut down the size of my apk by a lot.
FaisalAbid··on Heroku, is it always about money? /rant
Make your own path, fuck everyone else.

Heroku too expensive? Spend some time migrating to Digitalocean.

Don't ever rant about things you can't control. Strategize and find your own way.

FaisalAbid··on When Google Decides To Delete Your App
Haven't found anyone yet. Its frustrating because we were 2 days before launch. The screenshots and description was just being toyed and internally just tested.

Now we have investors to answer to as well as other people who are annoyed at us for delaying the launch at the last second.

FaisalAbid··on When Google Decides To Delete Your App
Last night at 3am google decided to take my app down.

The best part is, my app was not even live!!

It was in draft mode. My description and screenshot were not final, and were semi-complete placeholders. Before publishing the app I would have obviously made sure it complied with everything.

Google found issue with that and took down my app. Now I've been running around trying to get a hold of someone to look into this.

FaisalAbid··on Prominent GitHub Engineer Quits, Alleging Gender-Based Harassment
Disgusting. I don't know how in 2014 we still judge people by their gender or sexuality.

All businesses should really care about is if the employee is a value add to the company. Male or Female, it should not matter.

Disgusting GitHub, didn't expect this from you.

FaisalAbid··on Show HN: Encrypted private bookmarks for incognito mode on Firefox and Chrome
Yes "engagement ring related bookmarks".

Great idea though! Thanks.

FaisalAbid··on How emailsherlock.com gets its info?
Check out fullcontact.com's api if you want to be truly creeped out. All these services match you up via previous information they find.

i.e Flickr username FaisalAbid, great lets see if there is a Youtube name faisalabid that fits the same location as the flickr location, or a location gathered from somewhere else.

FaisalAbid··on My account's Facebook applications have been disabled with no explanation
Got 3 back out of 20. Two had more than 5k users. Both missing.
FaisalAbid··on I started a side project last year that has over 1K users – now what?
Is it making money? If not think about monetizing it.

If it is making you money, then see how you can use that money to get more users and more revenue.
