I think CC used to provide full-text indices. Not sure though and can't find any posts on it.

You may have that "founder personality" that makes it a little hard to work for other people. If you get over that, you should actually be a pretty good candidate, assuming you may have technical AND marketing/business skills right now. I don't think not having a degree will be a huge deal breaker for you.

My friend owns a cosmetic clinic and he needed an easy way to manage his signage. I built a small web platform over the weekend so he could do that. He started paying right away ($7/month). There are other businesses using it right now, not a big business but completely automated!
Re:Ask HN: How do you stay focused when working from home?

I sorta agree. The vast majority of people that I know are incapable or lack the discipline of working from home while staying 100% focused.

The DCMA provides exceptions for caching. But in order to be a cache you need to eventually and automatically reflect the wishes of the source. So, if the original content disappears it has to disappear from the cache too. Or, if the original content changes it has to be reflected in the cache too.
In the case of twitter, there is no equivalent for a per-account "robots.txt" and issues like this arise where you can't take your content back once it's copied. Twitter thread compilers should regularly check whether a tweet has been removed etc to turn into a cache and avoid these situations.

Youtube is a true monopoly. They can do whatever they want.
