ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Why only 2% of Chinese pay any income tax

You are saying that income tax in discouraging people to work, do you have any evidence of this?

Really cool!!

Neat thing. Question: Why not have it publically open and free, but pay to post? Or at least have some of it open, like a limit number of post visible or something like that - for free. Because right now, as a visitor, I'm far from sure I want to use this at all, I know too little about what it's like to actually use it.

Oh ok! Thx for explanation

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: SoftBank Gives Startups Billions of Reasons to Hold Off IPOs

Off topic, but how does this work? How can the crawlers bypass the paywall?

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is Ruby on Rails still worth learning?

Yep, absolutely. It's a very productive environment to build in. If you want to get something infront of a user quickly and not get stuck in configurations, webpack scripts and so on, go with rails.

Same here. I just spend 3 minutes trying to figure out how to opt out, but couldn't find it in the walls of texts and links down the rabbit hole. Closed the tab.

Ah I see, interesting!

Here's a product idea: a screen recorder that understands password inputs and things like "API key" or "API secret" and blurs it automatically.

Hi! Very interesting read and congratulations on the success. How you every had a higher price tag, or have you thought about raising it? It feels like a very low price, but I don't know what the average your customers are ending up paying - I guess they most often have several users per account?

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Is the podcast bubble bursting?

Seriously, who wants to listen to a Buzzfeed podcast? Podcasts are _amazing_ channels for independent makers, comedians, etc.

Novice question from someone from ruby land: would this work similar to bundler and Gemfile?

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Too many projects I need a wingman/wingwoman

Yes, I did a show hn when I had just launched the site. It's right here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16551159

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Too many projects I need a wingman/wingwoman

Hi, thank you! Hope it goes well :) Well, not 100% full time. I'm also working on another product together with my dev partner, which requires a little bit more work than RemoteHacker for now, so I'm basically balancing between those two projects and client work.

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Too many projects I need a wingman/wingwoman

Thank you! Yes, I'm trying to make that happen. There is definitely a higher quality than quantity on the site right now, which I like, and people who use it seem happy, so that's nice :) Spreading the word without spending a fortune is my biggest problem to solve it seems.

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's NH's opinion of the next big thing in tech?

5G and next generation GPS.

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Too many projects I need a wingman/wingwoman

Hi! I made https://RemoteHacker.com specifically for this problem :) A lot of people have managed to find new partners to continue developing and building businesses!

Great service, thank you!

ericintheloft2 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?

Rails. Nothing comes close for me in terms of speed of development.

ericintheloft2 | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Are there any reasonable alternatives to MacBook Pro for developer?

Yeah there are great alternatives to a macbook. Look at Dell XPS for example, install linux on it if you're like me and don't like windows.
