Not bad but Sherlock Holmes is written from the perspective of Watson, not Holmes.

Hey Philip,

We store north of 2PB with AWS and have just committed to an agreement that will increase that commitment based on some competitive pricing they've given us.

Give me a shout if you'd like to chat.

I am pretty sure this is copied from a blog post i wrote a long time ago[0].

I know this because he's used the illustrations my brother drew for me by hand...

@author: you've also missed the point of my article and why I think an MLP is worth considering.

Looks cool. Suggestion: Require people to request discussions from others to sign up/comment/participate. You could gain big traction by getting big names to do conversations and likely monetize by having sponsored conversations.

Major thing to avoid would be what happened to Quora where all the comments were gamed by people trying to resume pad.

"Thank you for your question, the history of privacy goes back millennia to Cleopatra's Royal guards... In summary, duckduckgo is a search engine focused on privacy"

I love this idea.

Allow people to generate a share link or add an email address and Taaalk can email and email inviting them to join the discussion.

joepour commented on Ask HN: How can I pick a side project and stick with it?    · Posted by u/corecoder

I write a blog (https://nichesaas.co) about ideas for SaaS Products. The reason I started the blog is because so many developers I know struggle to come up with _good_ ideas and stick with them.

Some things that have helped me and my friends in the past:

* Set yourself achievable goals or milestones so you feel like you are making progress

* Accountability is also a great way to stick with something. Tell your colleague you'll send them a link so they can check it out and then commit to putting it up.

* Choose something you're interested in.

Often the hardest part is starting. One trick I used in the past was put a syntax error in my code. I would also leave a comment there with a small task just to get into it.

    e.g // implement GetUser()
That way when I sat down there was a small task to complete to get my program running and before I knew it, I'd been hacking away for a couple hours.

Mine is https://nichesaas.co

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into researching my posts. Each post outlines a well-researched idea for SaaS Product.

It contains mockups, research, a strategy on where to find your first 10 customers etc

Does everyone here also drive a base model Honda Civic because “car hardware is done”? This is a luxury product and people upgrade because it’s fun and feels great to have the fastest phone and fanciest camera. It’s not that big a deal, and it’s definitely not a ripoff.

This is a great point. It’s a premium product that people will buy simply because they like nice things.

I’ll buy one because I like buying new/nice things and the fact that for $1200 I’ll get a lot of value out of it, due to how much I use my phone is an added bonus.

This is definitely not a compelling upgrade for many people.
