This is a great answer, thanks!

Do you have an email? I will update you when I have talked to some shelters / homeless people and when I get some work done

Thanks for your answer, I agree that with a website the iterating process is probably faster.
Thanks for your answer. Indeed! I'm not sure, the main mission of my idea is to offer homeless/refugees a way of connecting to other people (it could be just for chatting or for meeting and offering some jobs in order to allow them to integrate).

The main problem here is that these people won't have an easy access to the internet so it might be easier a website but otherwise I think an app would be more suitable.

(probably worth go to the streets and ask them).

Ask HN: Is it better building an app or a website for an mvp?

I am developing my own startup and thinking about the next step I am wondering whether develop an Android app or a website. Is a social platform where users can interact. I have knowledge in Android so I could develop the app, and HTML&CSS but not enough to create the website.The question is, what will be more efficient, to create the app, or learn more about lets say PHP and create the...

We are testing an idea of developing communities in different places in Europe, here's the first try: http://nomadclub.co/ In case your answer could be yes, what do you think the website should have and what do you think it'd be important for the service to provide? would you use it? we're happy to take any feedback! :)
Thank you, I think you are making a very good point here, We will test that out, definitely!
I'll check it out asap as we don't want to steal any work, but I believe it was free to use and we downloaded it because of that like the other images from the same website, thanks for your comment
I will check that out and if necessary, delete it,

Plan would be to give you people to connect and a plan of experiences to do together, like trips to cities close to the destinations, activities inside the locations in which we are and services like coworking or gym membership

1) I believe it's not stolen since we got it from a a free webpage in which it was permitted to download the pictures and use them on your own website. If you know anything else about that please, let us know. If it's not permitted to be used in a web, we wouldn't use it but I believe it's not the case.

And about the other points, thanks, we just want to test the idea out, I guess we have to explain it better, so we will try to make it easier to understand.

We are an agency that wants you to meet interesting people while traveling and working remotely, the min 2 weeks is there because we believe that could be a minimum to make a meaningful impact within this community.

Yeah, I agree, we wanna test everything out before we offer our exact solution, we started out during Christmas time with this project and we believe is something that can definitely give value to it's potential users.
Yeah, we want to make it into an e-commerce with a clear pricing included, this is our first sketch and we wanted to prove it could be a good idea, thanks for your comment, we will definitely follow that line!

Ask HN: Would you like to have local communities for remote workers?

Thanks, I'm planning on using MySql allocated in the own server as I'm using now in a free hosting server
Yes I am using php on the server side to update a database when the user send a form
You're completely right, the thing is that I'm not sure about that as the amount of people that will land on the page will depend on the success of the marketing/crowdfunding campaign.

Also, the type of application is an easy concept for booking (via online form) vacation experiences, so it has terms and conditions, explanations of our service, cities in which we're offering it and not much more

Ask HN: What server would you recommend for a first MVP website?

I'm not looking for anything super fancy, but I want it to be reliable and I'm completely lost on this, if you could help me I'd be forever granted :)Edit: We used css and htmlThe thing is that I'm not sure about the amount of people that will land on the page will depend on the success of the marketing/crowdfunding campaign.Also, the type of application is an easy concept for booking (via...

Re:Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do? on Saturday January 07, 2017 @11:31AM (#13344901)
I would choose an option in wich automation is difficult to apply, also, something that I love to do (so maybe I had to be a pro player of soccer haha).

You got a serious and a kind of serious answer :D

Re:Reasons not to use Skype (2012) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @11:29AM (#13344885)
We're talking about the long term here :D

One minute lost by saying you don't want to use Skype might give you the benefit of convincing another person to join you video conference platform choice!

Re:AI's Role in Our Urban Future on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @09:22AM (#13318454)
Yes you're right, but also the richer a country is the more resources it needs. So I think there should be some limits in population growth for certain countries and areas. Also, we have to note that it's not that we're overpopulated but we're living in just a few places of our planet, that's why we have issues I believe

I think you have the right to be harsh when you see all these posts by people who don't have a strong knowledge on AI and you strongly believe in what you're saying and you have expertise in it. As I said I'm on your way of thinking! Thanks again for your answer
Re:Ask HN: Will We Get Close to a General AI in 2017? on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @07:54AM (#13317824)
You're right, and less scary :D Better automation done in a right way can solve huge human problems
Re:Ask HN: Will We Get Close to a General AI in 2017? on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @07:53AM (#13317822)
Thanks for your answer, I think on the same line as you, but I was here with a colleague that believes it's soon possible so we wanted to check what the community feels like it's gonna happen
