• Advices on making money online.

  If you want to build something instead, I suggest taking a look at indie hackers to see what other people are doing or using a tool like glimpse to find trends before they pop-off and build a solution to those things. Source: 11 months ago

• What job would be the best for someone just getting into Computer Science?

  The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money. That will show you're not just a cog in the wheel but able to critically think and have valuable practical skillsets. I would experiment with something that has tailwinds. Like an AI business, or a VR business once the new apple VR app store comes out. you'd be shocked at how much you can make... Source: 12 months ago

• I want to help entrepreneurs start successful businesses

  For example; trends.co is not very good because the people that write for them are journalists, not business owners so although the writing is good, the ideas are poorly researched. On the other hand, meetglimpse.com is pretty good, they have nuanced and unique business ideas that you can take advantage of but the market research behind it is a little lacking, their chrome extension tool is great tho. And then... Source: about 1 year ago

• What realistic online business could I start these days with 5000$

  a lot of things. I've built 3 online businesses that were profitable with under $1000. it's really just a hustle once you get product market fit. Starting something online shouldn't take that much money if you know how to test it. Check out like trends.vc, explodingideas.co, meetglimpse.com etc. They may be able to spark your creativity for ideas that could be good opportunities for the price point. Source: about 1 year ago

• Underrated/lesser known side hustles?

  Great idea. You should scrape ideas from meetglimpse.com, explodingideas.co, trends.co and the other sites that post ideas. Would be an easy way to bulk up the document. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers

  Reminder that librapay exists, and their developers are only paid from user donations, just like anyone else on the platform. https://liberapay.com/ (I only wish their CC costs could be reduced a bit to make micropayments viable). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Nextcloud and OpenBSD = <3

  I don't think they want your money, not unless you are an enterprise costumer. But feel free to donate to another open source project: https://liberapay.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Mastodon founder says investors lining up since Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover | Mastodon

  I often see links to Liberapay and Open Collective (Liberapay even has an official Mastodon account). Source: over 1 year ago

• The Asymmetry of Open Source: "Users need open source projects, but open source projects do not need users"

  It seems a little suspicious that the person sharing those posts isn't building an open platform himself -- why not make it more open /u/paydevs ? I think Liberapay is a great way to spontaneously pay OSS developers. I'm not opposed to paydevs.com (as far as they're showing), but I encourage increasing transparency and openness, as is I don't feel confident supporting the platform. I think individuals, governments... Source: over 1 year ago
