Re:Ask HN: Broke, no money for rent or food? What should I do? on Saturday February 27, 2016 @08:44AM (#11187053)

I find the shortness of this message a bit strange.

How did you make a living so far? What was your plan and why did it go wrong?

What are your plans now?

What is your skillset?

Televisions might be a good addition. I might be biased, because I am in the market for a new TV. But It also fits into your concept of tech gadgets. And would be sortable nicely by screen size and price.

I have a Server in Germany. But my visitors are from all over the world. Will I have to pay to every ISP out there so my data gets to their customers quick?

Not sure what to think about the Kim Dotcom projects. They all seem to be short lived. What about that mega.co.nz thing he launched lately? I read that he sold it and distanced himself from the new owner already.

Re:Ask HN: Build it and they will come or 50% marketing? on Tuesday October 20, 2015 @07:02AM (#10418445)

Thanks. Looks like there is broad consens for the 50% formula.

Being a complete product nerd, I tend to spend 90% of my time on improving my product (a website).Therefore I love the idea of "Build it and they will come". Which works for me to some extend (I am ramen profitable).But often I also hear the opposite. In a recent Mixergy interview, Gabriel Weinberg suggests investing 50% of your time into marketing. And in his book "Traction", Peter Thiel is...

Re:Ask HN: Which email-me-when-my-site-is-down service do you use? on Friday August 21, 2015 @04:12AM (#10096438)

Recently my Debian 8 server started "being down" from time to time. It does not respond to http,ping and ssh. Nothing is in the logs. Just like the power has been turned off. Only when I reboot it, it comes back.

It's a dedicated server rented from 1and1.

While I try to find the problem or a new provider, I would like to get notified when it is down.

There must be an endless number of free services for this. Can my fellow startup buddies from HN recommend one?

Ask HN: Tools of the trade

I know, half the year is over already. But there was no "tools of the trade" thread yet. In the past I enjoyed those and I think it's also interesting in a historical context to have them once a year.So I rolled up my sleeves and made an account to start one :)What are the tools that you use nowadays?
