Pretty easy way to sell app subscriptions

biggodoggo··on Ask HN: Is there server-side software that we are missing in 2018?
There's two ways to "fill a gap", either you create a gap that needs filling or you make an existing solution better. You don't see anything missing because you aren't looking at things from this perspective.
biggodoggo··on Wordpress is going AMP by default
And I bet Google's team will magically stop "accelerating" wordpress after this change is implemented... They are really pushing AMP hard
biggodoggo··on Missing data hinder replication of artificial intelligence studies
The problem is when BigCo does AI research, they are not doing it for the greater good, they are trying to find a competitive edge. Unfortunately there are no good incentives (besides doing the "right" thing) for companies to open their datasets to the public, so until there is we can expect more of the same...
biggodoggo··on Belgian court finds Facebook guilty of violating privacy (Dutch)
Alas, there is no way the U.S. would ever stand up for privacy, they are one of the biggest invaders of it after all.
biggodoggo··on Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results
This only stops people who don't know how to "right click"

I've heard from friends that https://calibre-ebook.com is the "go to" solution for this kind of thing

Considering how notoriously bad Coinbase is at customer support I'm wondering how long it will take people to get their money back.
biggodoggo··on Launch HN: CoinTracker (YC W18) – Cryptocurrency portfolio and tax manager
I'd love to see more support for different wallets, It's generally bad practice to keep things on the exchanges as they aren't the most trustworthy bunch.
biggodoggo··on How fake news led pope to bless England’s Irish invasion
Ugh, "fake news" is probably the worst term to come out of 2017. Blanket statements like this are usually more dangerous than the actual content that is being described whether or not it's "fake".
biggodoggo··on Bitcoin is tumbling – Off almost 40% from its high
Is the bitcoin bubble finally popping and will ethereum pop with it or get bigger?
biggodoggo··on Ask HN: How do you mitigate stress as a single-person business?
In my experience it's not the amount of decisions as much as amount of work, I've mitigated that by automating as much of my business as possible from invoicing to funneling customer communication from email and phone calls to slack. try and identify what parts of your business you are spending the most time on and figure out if there's a better way
biggodoggo··on Slack is reportedly raising another huge $500M round of funding
I'm thinking Slack's issue is their free version is too good and the paid version is way too expensive (per user pricing gets scary) I know in my experience we don't have any trouble using free and we have too many people to make a jump to the paid. I think Slack needs a "middle ground" solution where small-medium businesses won't balk at the per user pricing.
