Actually in France you can't control most ISP-supplied consumer routers. And for sure on this one you don't have the control at all. Source: i'm french.

I would love to have your sources then because it sounds silly to me. But may may be you should define medecine first.

Well you're a telling me that is very very expensive in the US and it's very expensive in europe.

Who can afford to potentially lost 10.000euros in a lawsuit ?

And in this thread we are talking about average Joe fighting against expert/rich companies.

Even if average Joe win the first time, the rich company can do another lawsuit right after and do it again and again until average Joe give up.

It's actually what happened to a friend. They don't care they just put you personal bankrupt. And even if it's not the money, it's a lot of stress and shit like this.

Are you saying that the US invents the medecine ? If yes, do you have any sources ? If no what are you saying ?

Under almost any system actually

How do you compare OWS and a house crashed by a tree. It doesn't make sense at all. The fair comparaison with a house crashed by a tree would the hurricane Katrina.

I was actually talking about it with my roommate: if the next big companies could pop from other countries than the USA And it's actually hard the believe and here is why:

- The USA is one big country one over 300millions people, one main language, one main culture, one currency ... and a shit lot of money ready to be invested

- When you start a company in France only 60 million people few investors, a small startup world, ... And if i want to expand my company to europe, i need to get the different languages, different culture, different bank and sometimes different currency.

And if you want to invest it's harder because the VC system is different, they are not much a big fan of competition.

It's a pain is the ass to grow big quickly there and also the mentality is different.

I completely disagree with that and the recent events in the middle east tend to prove i'm right. People stood up for their right and gain more freedom. They didn't leave the country they stayed and did what they believe was the right thing to do for the country they love.

And it seems to work.

And by the way the people who already left the country and are actually living in europe did nothing because they now have a jobs, families, ... So they have way more to lose by fighting for the right of they original country than doing nothing.

Yes, I believe the best is to prove they are inefficient and a complete waste of money.

Your analogy doesn't make any sense.

I'm glad that everybody doesn't think like you do.

Honestly, hackathons are all about bullshit. I've attended to several hackathons and won several price(AT&T, Angelhack, ...).

And the more you bullshit the more you get close to the win. You even can win without coding, you only need a great talk with a great use case.

Right, but if I keep attending on meetups my network will keep growing and then it won't be exhausted.

I don't want to sound like a douche but I've never looked for a job on a website. Each time i needed a job i got an offer from a company or from someone in my network.

To grow your professional network I would recommend to attend to meetups, hackathons, user groups or even better to get involve in the organization. It worked pretty well for me.

I met some incredible people and got some good jobs offer.

In france there is http://www.mykid.fr/ and they are currently hiring.

In general I would like to hear what company/website/.. you started and how you got your clients/users.

Damn you should try San Francisco(The bay area). The food truck business is big there ! There is food truck 'party' every weeks. May be LA and Seattle as well. I was looking for a website like this when i was living there.

Why can't you work on your project(s) the week ends ?

Stopped after the second video. Still don't know what is vooza.com about

Man, if it's your idea and if you've done most of the work, get some balls and fight for your project !

I can't tell what but there is something wrong with the website may be the design.

You should may be display some sample on the home page. Also, you can try to go to/sponsor some local hackathons/startup weekends/... Those people might be your target.

Also, add a link to the news on hackernews. For example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4277901 for this one.

Parking in San Francisco from my point of view is a pain in the ass. The parking cost $20 a day or something like $400 a month. (I used to live downtown so i can't speak for the other areas.)

For the internet, you should take the $50 prepaid plan and do tethering with your mobile devices.

I was in a similar situation.

- For the sim cards. Any monthly prepaid plan like the $50 T-mobile 4G with unlimited data, text &talk is fine.

- For internet try check verizon, att, t-mobile or timewarner. I currently have time warner. It's a bit expensive. FIOS with 20mb/s for $45 a month.

- For the event checkout http://www.eventbrite.com & http://www.meetup.com and search for the events.

- Fro the transportation, get a cliper card. You can take the bart and the bus with it. Unfortunately a car is a must have for the bay area if you are planning to driving around palo alto, ...

And, it's a good idea, we should setup an hacker news meetup !

You can pay for the expenses but you still need a sponsor. It's kind of weird. You have to pass an interview with the sponsor and then they review your case and give you the files you need to get for the visa at the US embassy.

you need a J-1 visa. In order to get the J-1 visa you need a sponsor and a job offer.

for the skills it depends what you're looking for.

What tools do you use to track the users ?

The logo should be clickable. I don't like the createMyx page. I can't say why but it doesn't look good. The [login] link should be an image.

Also, what if I want more than 16oz in my created mix. The "1" at the bottom of the homepage shouldn't exist.

It might be a bad idea be running a Groupon/Google offer/... campaign could work.

Looks good if my 12yo sister wants to build a website about her new kitty. Not sure my father wants to use Scroll Kit to publish a website about is guesthouse. A basic wordpress+template is still a better solution.

There is nothing new there. Spammers were doing the same years ago with digg.

SwaggSec, lulzsec, ... at least they are creative for choosing a team name.
