• If a kid being sent to one of those "kidnap you in the night" bootcamps kills someone during the kidnap, is it self defense?

  Yes. There are a lot of them, and they are popular in Utah, and the Dominican Republic. Its for parents who think their kids is out of control because they take drugs, or hang around the wrong people, or don't want to go to church, or date the wrong person, or aren't getting good enough grades, or are manifesting behaviour because of trauma, or come out as gay (this is a common one, they are usually religious...

• I need a game where you can commit financial fraud.

  Can I interest you in Eve Online? That link takes you to a cracked.com article about how one guy scammed folks out of millions of dollars. Source: 9 months ago

• People hate guns until they find themselves in a situation where they needed one.

  I really had no idea how bad the suicide stat was until cracked.com brought it up years ago (when it was good). It was somethign like nearly half or more gun deaths were straight suicides. Source: 12 months ago

• Does anyone else feel a lot younger than their peers?

  Like why would I want to watch Breaking Bad or any serious drama when I already lived serious drama all through childhood? Jokes and silliness or I turn it off. Firefly or House MD are about my limit for serious entertainment. And my favorite news channel is one of those old cracked.com comedy writers on YouTube. Source: 12 months ago

• Did you think you could have survived if project zomboid was real?

  The rotting thing is a point ignored by almost all zombie medium. Of course, getting around the initial "dead thing can walk" is a pretty big leap in itself.

Best line from the whole article though was "We (humans) are a zombie's... Source: 12 months ago

• I started affiliate marketing, but with a twist

  Use chatbots to automate customer service: Chatbots use natural language processing to communicate with customers and answer their questions.

• How to embed a web application into another website via API?

  I am trying to create an application that will work on a customer's website. Much like tawk.to or intercom.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Here's how I'd figure out the go-to-market for a Customer Support SaaS

  My way of doing marketing starts with figuring out what my overall project will (or will not) be. In this case, I looked at the vendors like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, or Help Scout. They all have whizbang features such as live-chat, collaboration stuffs, automations and workflows. They bill per contact and addons. I’d emphasize a straightforward, fuss-free angle instead.

• Chat widget with react.js

  I wanted to know the best practices of developing a widget. So I went through the popular implementations of it. I liked Intercom's widget very much. It is written in React. I analyzed how it works. The minimal javascript is loaded async on the webpage. It is injecting an iframe with id intercom-frame. That iframe has a script in it's head with a source URl. Obviously it is React bundle. Source: about 2 years ago

• What PRODUCT TOUR software do you like for an early SaaS?

  If you're looking at it to guide new users through onboarding, Intercom is pretty good. Source: about 2 years ago
