Sharetribe (https://www.sharetribe.com/) allows you to create your own marketplace (also supports rentals). Anyway their product is open-sourced https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe. Haven't worked on it though.

Interested to see how this compares to Samsung Gear VR (http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gearvr/index.html) which combines Galaxy Note 4 and Oculus Rift and is made by Samsung & Oculus together.

You can find free samples showing few excercises. There are for example basic multiplication assigments. That book is for 3rd graders.

(I went through finnish elementary school and I think they taught multiplication tables for us on the 3rd grade (9-10 years old)

Whatsapp competitor Telegram is promising that. Not sure if it's legally binding though. (They're also saying that they're not "commercial company").

"Telegram is not intended to bring revenue, it will never sell ads or accept outside investment. It also cannot be sold. We're not building a “user base”, we are building a messenger for the people."

In some cases you won't even recognize Bootstrap. For example YC-company https://kippt.com/ uses Bootstrap, but wouldn't guess it without knowing it.

Anyway, I think Bootstrap default theme (or slightly modified, but recognizable) is alright for young products targeted to "normal" people who have no idea about Bootstrap. I think it matters more for developers and designers and products targeted for them should invest in creating custom theme.

Re:Ask HN: How can a 17-year-old make money (online/offline)? on Monday February 25, 2013 @12:34PM (#5280197)
I did freelancing and some of my friends did some SEO and quite good amount of money with Adsense etc when they were teenagers.

But if you don't really need much money (I didn't when I was teenager, but of course this was only me), I would rather use the time to learn and explore new things and have fun. Of course if you can combine earning money and learning new things, its great.

You could bypass restrictions (not sure if it affects your grade though or count having a database) by using some existing external APIs and build a web-software on top of them.
Re:What does your company use for instant messaging? on Monday February 04, 2013 @02:01PM (#5166223)
We used Skype before and weren't happy, but we just changed to https://www.flowdock.com/. It does also other useful things (gathers all feeds into one "inbox"). Works very well for development teams, but our whole team has been happy with it. Should work well for bigger organizations too.

Btw, it has also IRC-integration, so people familiar with that (like me) should be alright.

Re:Evasi0n iOS 6.x jailbreak on Monday February 04, 2013 @12:19PM (#5165451)
I haven't Jailbroke my iPhone for a few years. I did out of curiosity, but updating OS was just too much pain.

Been thinking what are the real benefits of doing that? Why? Is it customizing UI, adding more effects? Or is it just downloading apps outside app store? I think it brought value when we didn't have notification center etc, but still people doing it?

Re:Ask HN: Not-SaaS analytics on Sunday February 03, 2013 @03:59PM (#5161127)
Didn't know about those, thanks. Going to look over them.

We don't need to know where our users come etc, but more following certain events and patterns and how they engage with the app.

Ask HN: Not-SaaS analytics

Hello HN,We've been looking for analytics for web application, which could be run in our own servers. I like Mixpanel, but because of the nature of the service, we have to keep the data on our servers.Any recommendations or experiences?

Got also the message. My account was created in January 2007 and user id is about 700k. So this could be the case.
