Dubai, UAE: $10-15 including delivery, from Pizza Hut

Hi,

Do you have a project or an idea? I've shot you an email nevertheless, because we're looking for somebody technical.

Edit: Both the linkedIn and email links don't work for me.

Assuming I want, say somebody to build a new kind of genetically altered flower, I can ask all my friends and people around the world who would also like to have this kind of flower to pledge a certain amount of money.

A group of genetic engineers someplace in the world notice that me and my troop have collectively pledged, say $500k, and the genetic engineers actually spend some time and make such a flower. They send us a video, and we trust they've built it. We get flowers, and they get the money.

Am I right?

Agreed.

Edit: Maybe that came off as rude, but I really don't get the idea. You pay somebody for something you want to see done? What?

Put hackerspot.org up there. Lets see how this works :)

Yes, it works fine now.

"500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

And now all of a sudden I'm extremely curious.

A link or something would help us all, I guess.

Shouldn't (technically) there be a prompt function there somewhere? I mean, how does the computer know how many successes/failures I've had? :P

Just kidding!

While the whole "failure is the stepping stone to success" thing is high these days, especially with startups, It doesn't work for me. Obviously teaches us a lot, but then again, failure is failure. Embrace it, acknowledge it, and move on. Just my 2 cents :)

Link doesn't work for me. Says you've capped your 000webhost limit.

My synopsis on this:

+ Even if it generates tweets on the basis of somebody's interests, and does so in an intelligent manner, doesn't that kill the purpose of twitter? I, for one, don't want to read computer generated tweets even if they talk about something I like. I want to read opinions of people I follow, they're experiences, and what they like/dislike — not a random fact generated by a bot.

+ It violates Twitter's ToS. That itself makes it a short-lived venture. I mean no discouragement to the dev team, but I always emphasize on conducting thorough research before embarking on such ventures which are somewhere in the shady areas of policies and rules. Especially when your product is build over an existing product, in this case, twitter. And if twitter decides to get a mood swing, and this product is denied access to their API, I don't want to be left with 500 new followers in my list, while being followed only by my mom.

+ It makes good, and goes on to a becoming a successful product, I think — and again, going back to my first point — it reciprocates being interesting with just getting followers. It makes socialization a formality with the end-goal being to have a greater number of followers than anyone else. That is more harmful to the twitter community than those sleazy services ("GET THOUSAND FOLLOWERS REAL QUICK!!")

+ Needing a credit card for the free trial? Ain't nobody got time for that. Plus those "sleazy" services are free, while this one charges $7/month (A little too much, because this is just a gamble. You have no assurance that you will get a significant number of followers in a given time.)

+ How long before they make revenue out of tweeting ads and sponsored tweets from your account?

How is this different from Feross' PeerCDN?

The design in a little (more than a little, tbh) overwhelming. But that's cool for v.0.11.0

While I use Jekyllfor my own blog, im thinking of switching to cactus. How good of a decision would that be?

Amazing! This is the kind of stuff I want to see more at Hacker News!

I find $19.95 a little too much, just for getting rid of ads.

Also, You can install plugins, called "raindrops" to add a few neat features, or make your own plugins since they have a raindrops API.

And the free package covers almost everything that 'Glui' does, for free.

I happened to read that their password was "whopper123"

Hey,

I heard you're into data visualization. Are you up for a gig? Let me know, thanks

What's the difference between this and CloudApp set to "auto upload screenshot" ?

This is a genuine question. Am I missing something here?

Amazing! I've already preordered a set. How do you think it'll rank up against my current model? (A Parrot AR Drone 2.0)

Just sent you one!

Thats the point! There is no limitations on what the target audience could be.

While, yes, social media can be an indicative of ones personality, I think a more concise landing page would be far more effective in all cases.

Sure, lets kick things off! Can I have your email ID?

So here's how its going to be:

+ Describe themselves. I choose interesting cases, and design a landing page. And then code it in HTML5/CSS3. And send them the files, so they can host it wherever they like.

Jekyll.

I seem to have developed an aversion beyond words can convey, about people who shamelessly rip-off the svbtle layout. This is simply wrong on so many levels.

And you've just made it look uglier with those noob-ish buttons.
