The current Linux pissing contest needs to end

This whole Games On Linux/Linux Game Cast is a large pissing match and I don't like it!Why are we spending so much time focusing on this? Yes I see what the issues are but we are now shining lots of light on the situation while also acting just like the people that caused the issue in the first place. All I have seen is people talking smack about the Linux Game Cast guys, fueling them with more...

Does any travel around the US/World by doing Contract IT work? I am about to graduate with my AAS in Computer Network Technologies. I have plans to get my CCNA this summer and also have about 4 years work place experience under my belt.What I picture in my head is bouncing around the US doing 3-6 month contract jobs after college.Anyone else do this? Or has any advice on how to kick start this?

Read the first two chapters and it is pretty good so far. Plan to keep at it and hopefully learn a thing or three.

Hey guys,

CJ here Co-Founder of Simple Coffee Club!

This is a project we have been working on for about a month now.

A bit about me, coffee has been a passion of mine for years and years. I have a background in web design, I love long walks..... you get it.

After reading 100s of articles about business, I finally realized to be successful in business you truly have to do what you love.

But to cut to the chase, we are looking for any type of feedback both negative and positive.

Yes A/B testing is on our plate for the future. I first heard about it from a patio11 aka Patrick McKenzie podcast.

Currently we are in what we consider our MVP stage. I would like to see 10 signups before we quit our day jobs. :P

But thank you for the link and advice :)

That article just goes to show that testing and data are king.

I personally don't like multi-step signup forms and that is the only reason it is not one. But soon enough I will start rocking out some A/B testing.

Have you played with https://www.optimizely.com/ by chance? If so how was your experience?

Thank you for bursting the comment cherry!

We are a little different from tonx but the idea is the same :)

They source and roast beans while we work hand in hand with already established local roasters.

Thank you for all of your comments :)!

Ask HN: Nightmares with Stripe?

Have anyone of you had a nightmare with stripe? failed payments... holding of money... random charge backs... etc... I am about to deploy it on a project where the 'director' is a bit worried about not having a merchant account associated with stripe.If you could share any bad times that would be great!I have heard a ton of good but no bad so I don't have much ammo on possible...
