I also wish there were something like this. The projects on elance and odesk are very often asking for tons of work at sweatshop wages/prices. Someone needs to create a better freelance network.

Ask HN: Best landing page service?
I'm looking for a landing page service that can let me quickly put up a landing page together with analytics, email sign-up forms, etc. unbounce.com looks pretty good. Any other recommendations or general advice on successfully spreading the word about my start up?

I just signed up, created a room, named it, tagged it, uploaded a file to it and saved it. Now I have no idea how to find that room. Tried searching for it, nothing happens. This looked promising and then... it just falls flat.
Ask HN: Give me feedback regarding Android app for hackerz?
I'm trying to gather some feedback on what kind of stuff people would like to see in an app that provides you quick access to all commands, organized by category, for Git, SVN, Bash, ADB stuff, etc. The app would serve as a useful utility for quickly looking up useful commands (the kinda stuff you forget all the time) and ideally it'd contain a very comprehensive list of tools.Thoughts on what...

Pretty cool and great name. Only thing is that (when I tried Java) the syntax highlighting wasn't all that great.
Android: Tap to print and mail photos?
I'm thinking about developing an app/service that lets you choose photos from your phone and have them mailed to you. It seems like there is no simple snapfish type service for Android.I'm also wondering, are there any issues with using a photo printing service to print large quantities of photos that aren't for my own consumption? Shouldn't be a problem, right?Thoughts? Critiques?

Blarg. Who the hell wants to enter all these stats about their life, carefully submitting numbers about their day, etc. bla bla bla. so in human. in the end you're like a slave to the careful entering of stats about yourself, managing your facts like some accountant.

LOL. That dude's comments are hilarious. As someone with a lot of experience in mobile (Java/Objective-C) I couldn't believe he said web development is easy. I am just learning web stuff now and I find to be very challenging and exciting.

I think you're missing the whole point. The DataTreasury example illustrates a fundamental problem with patents which is only exaggerated when it comes to software and software "processes." The problem is, as the article pointed out, that the patents are construed to be so broad that basically anyone can be said to be infringing it. To patent the idea itself of 'scanning checks with a device and sending it to a server' is pretty absurd. A copyright is more appropriate. If you copied the code, etc then you violate the copyright. But to say that anyone that implements this idea is in violation ... that's not encouraging innovation. It just encourages running to the patent office as fast as you can.

Re:Enrollment for Stanford's online DB class now open

I don't get how to read the answer choices for this question:
<!DOCTYPE A [ <!ELEMENT A (B+, C)> <!ELEMENT B (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT C (B?, D)> <!ELEMENT D (#PCDATA)> ]> Which of the following sequences of opening and closing tags matches this DTD? Note: In actual XML, opening and closing tags would be enclosed in angle brackets, and some elements might have text subelements. This quiz focuses on the element sequencing and interleaving specified by the DTD.
What does this mean for example? A B /B B /B C B /B D /D D /D /C /A
Ask HN: how to overcome paralysis by analysis when coding?
When I start a new project, I often times immediately start thinking about the details of implementation. "Where am I gonna put the DataBaseHandler? How should I use it? Should classes that want to use it extend from some Abstract superclass..? What level of abstraction am I going to use in my class that contains methods for sending requests and parsing data?"I end up stalling for a long time...
