You could also (theoretically, haven't tested it all):

- watch Hulu, when you're not in the US

- use Spotify when you are in the US (and you use a UK box for example)

- bypass your university firewall

- in general secure your connection in case you are using an open network

My personal favourite:

- Get a cheap development box (Linode, Slicehost, etc.)

- Set Firefox to use Socks Host 127.0.0.1:8080

- Open up your terminal and enter this: ssh -C2qTnN -D 8080 your-user@example.com

Et voilà, you're tunneling all your browser traffic through the development box.

From http://putthison.com/post/833571254/were-apple-we-dont-wear-...:

“We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t even own suits.” — Steve Jobs (or a representative thereof, the citation is a little unclear), incredibly rich establishment capitalist businessman, on fighting in 2010 the anti-establishment battles of 1965. Because you know what the problem is? Suits.

Shameless self-advertising:

You may want to have a look at www.getmetricmail.com (recently also here on HN). We are still in beta but we might offer what you're looking for. If not now, then in the future.

I would be interested in finding out why you guys actually take this stuff. Do you need it due to medical need or because of something else?

If there is enough demand for something like this, we would definitely implement it.

In general, every tool that provides an API can be integrated.

So what I'm saying is, that it is of course possible to create a report in Google Analytics but it is not that trivial. Especially for non web-savvy users.

I've been using BucketWise for over a year. Not only for my personal but also for my business' finances.

It works like a charm!

I would be interested in the technology and architecture behind it.

By default all my folders are linkable.

Can you tell us how to change that?

In this context "The Evolution of a Python programmer": http://gist.github.com/289467

I wonder how long it will take until someone has made an auction site based on that principle (if it hasn't been done already). Swoopo goes in the "right" direction, I guess.

Find customers.

Absolutely, I don't see a reason for deleting this post. Actually they should be glad that people are still caring about the progress they make (or not).

Note: I'm on a Mac, so things might differ under Windows.

"Dieses ist ein Selbstbau-Projekt rund um einen Mikrokopter." translates to "This is a self-made project for a microcopter."

In the left navigation panel you can find "Nachbau-Anleitung", which gives you detailed instructions on how to build such a thing yourself.

I told him, the issue should be fixed.

A general tip for benchmarking: Never run the benchmark tool on the same machine as the application. Both will compete for CPU and the results will be nearly useless.

Apart from that it might be useful to use several clients (e.g. with autobench) especially if the application is able to handle _many_ requests.

If there is no competition, there is no market. So go for it.

Haven't tried it yet, but looks similar to spreedly.

Looking at the analytics of all the websites I have build (50+) the most visited page is always the "team" or "about" page. So there seems to be a desire for getting to know the people behind the company name. Yet this doesn't prove that it is a good idea ... just saying :-)

A friend of mine send me an invite about 3 or 4 days ago, it hasn't arrived yet. Is that normal?

I'm pretty sure they did this just for the sake of the name.

They use Rails for the examples, but this should be suitable for most other frameworks.

The only freightning thing I experienced is sleep paralysis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia#Sleep_paralysis). But this too presents no dangers, it is just a weird and uncommon feeling =)

As far as I know there are no disadvantages, even when you are really trained only a fraction of your dreams will be lucid dreams.

By the way, if you are really interested in this subject take a look at the open book here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Lucid_Dreaming (I have submitted this before to HN but it never hit the front page)

Can you explain that further? Btw, an interesting read.

I'm fine with your argument, but you would be suprised how some clients are argueing. For example: "You are no professionals (read: no finished studies), therefore I'm not paying more than $X."

Unfortunately some clients like to play this game and don't mention their budget. In my opinion this makes it worse for both sides.

In my 3 years of freelancing I have done quite a few websites (40+), but I never reached prices that were this high.

Here are my rates. Btw I see no reason to post this anonymously. It's ok to charge money =)

- HTML Website $1500+ (without design)

- CMS $2200 - $12000 (without design)

Normally I'm using fixed prices, but in case someone specifically asks for my hourly rate I quote $70/h. Note: I ran this business part-time while doing my bachelor. Since I'm now a B.Sc (since last week) I think I might increase the rates. Guess that's appropriate, right?
