I'm about to try the same thing in Mexico but reading that made me really home sick [sic] for Vietnam. Almost looking forward for when my visa in Mexico runs out and I have to leave...
"Probably don't have enough wealthy friends & family" you mean?
Actually re-reading your comment I'm still not sure what you mean? If you're not willing to sacrifice relationships to start a company, then you're not cut out for founding? Isn't that a pretty unhealthy position to take in life?
Resourceful people should be able to find people relatively close to them that could kick in $5-50k x 3-10. You don't need to have a wealthy family or circle of friends.
The potential to sacrifice relationships is the complete wrong way to look at it. Investing is not only opportunistic, it can help someone realize a dream.
Correct, if these are your first thoughts, you are going to struggle mightily as a founder.
It's really not naive. Starting a startup is hard. If you and 1-3 others are not resourceful enough to round up $150k from your networks, no matter what you're financial means, you are going to have a very difficult go of it. This is not the hard part.
Yeah, but their point is its not really a real world scenario.
Since the other person, who's not taking part in the study, wont receive a basic income, the person in the study might feel morally required to give up their job potential job to the person who really needs it, which means the results of the study will be inconclusive.
They will even pay above the going rate in those other regions (VPN + exchange rate + currency fees).
Only to have the content providers come back with "No, we don't want you're money." I think this is changing now though as Netflix et al. become available, though I'd expect their libraries to still be relatively anaemic compared to the overseas counterparts.
Netflix are at least on record as saying that they want content to be global. However, they are also on record as saying that in principle using a vpn to access US Netflix is piracy (but that they don't think it is important). I am however curious what happens when some copyright troll decides to subpoena them for their records on who might be connecting from known vpns.
I think this is probably even quicker than the steps you provided (though you have to remember to start it manually, rely on them updating the build, etc) http://postgresapp.com/
Thats not really how Pow[1] works. It's weird that there isn't any mention of Pow on that page if that's what it's using in the backend. I didn't download it since I'm not on 10.7, maybe it mentions it later.
I wrote something similar (https://github.com/rktjmp/ker-pow) a while ago but never considered using it to actually make new ~/.pow/ links, I might add that in. Anvil is probably much more useful!
I think you will find that is _exactly_ how Pow works. Because you're just creating a symlink (ln -s source_name link_name) you can name it whatever you want. (i.e. ln -s ~/sites/my_full_url.com.au ~/.pow/blog)
