bmcd··on Microsoft won't let me pay a $24 bill, blocking thousands in Azure spending
You could probably just start by giving it the invoice number and your phone/email and ask it to find you someone to talk with?

I've had luck with https://www.19pine.ai/ for nebulous support issues like this, worth a try!

You should see if your local library gives you access to Zinio - I get the Economist (and numerous other publications) for free through ours.

I'd love feedback on the listing, I want to make it the best it can be!
bmcd··on Ask HN: Easy Real Estate Investments = Oxymoron?
I know it would cut into the monthly profit, but I've researched property management companies that have great reviews and they do everything from tenant placement to rent collection to repairs. I'd probably take the profit hit to automate it even more, thoughts?
bmcd··on Show HN: Freight Finder, an easier way for truckers and shippers to connect
Thanks rex, this was the main issue I see with the app. I somehow need to get a bunch of loads and a bunch of trucks right away. I appreciate the advice, I'll look into the magazines!
bmcd··on Show HN: Freight Finder, an easier way for truckers and shippers to connect
I created this app to eliminate the broker for smaller companies who have no need for all the brokerage services. They'll get a substantially lower price by working directly with the truckers.

Any ideas on how to push this out to those that should be seeing it?

Aha, thank you!
bmcd··on We'll Develop Your Idea Into an Android App in 24 Hours
I don't know why Instagram or Twitter haven't done this yet, but I'd love an application that shows me the top 10 newsworthy photos on a world map (Google Maps). So in the US, I might see a few over NYC and LA or maybe another in the Gulf from a recent oil spill. The photos would change based on where I zoom in or out.

The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.

It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.

bmcd··on Kleiner Perkins makes major changes
It's too bad they lost Denniston, I remember listening to him speak at Kleiner a few years ago as a student and thinking to myself, "this is one the most well-spoken, intelligent individuals I've ever encountered." Probably true for most KPCB staff, but a loss nonetheless.
bmcd··on Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
I make under $1,000 per month with a Salesforce.com application: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a...

I'm working on a few more to try and supplement this.

bmcd··on Why Salesforce Doesn't Work
Agreed, it's just incredible how many times I've seen it. The person implementing is so afraid to push the boundaries that they end up with the same basic platform with an updated UI at best.
