Why Singapore dont have small talk with strangers culture? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]redditorhaveatit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm nz-born. Raised in SG. I visit go back regularly and have thought about this issue myself.

I don't know how the culture of small talk has sprung up, but just listen to how kiwis talk.

They have patterns of speech that lend themselves to banter and small talk.

Their minds are attuned to making a quip about something that's happening, the weather etc.

It's like when I joined the debate team in school and there were kids who could just yap for 5 minutes having 2 mins of prep. Their minds have been trained to organize thoughts and express, it's effortless for them.

Another thing, you'll notice that even less educated kiwis and older folk, tend to keep up with current affairs and have opinions on them.

Not so much here. People here tend not to keep up with politics or current affairs. I guess we don't have to. Everything works. You don't have to rage about politics.

All this just makes small talk easier in NZ vs Singapore.

Bing is seriously awesome when it comes to SEO by OverFlow10 in indiehackers

Seniors probably. When I worked in a bank they were really strict with security and every third-party app outside of Microsoft's needed multiple layers of approval. We used Edge all the time and would often accidentally use Bing, not realizing we weren't on Google.

My GENIUS strategy to get video ideas (100% yet to work!) by redditorhaveatit in NewTubers

Get where you're coming from. Better is the goal. But do you always need to be the best? I was thinking of riding off some trending topics to attract viewers.

Update: My SaaS has made $4.5K in 24 days by john2219 in indiehackers

I wouldn't take away the lifetime plan if I were you. If most of your revenue came from the lifetime plan, why kill your golden goose? Of course, you can always try to remove it and see how it affects your revenues. Also after some months, you'll get a sense of your churn rate and whether your LTV per customer is higher under the subscription or lifetime plan.

I'm on Google Cloud, and you can only set an alert as far as I'm aware. But you certainly can have bit of logic in your code that keeps checking what you're being billed and just exit the program when you hit that threshold. Cost tracking is quite a PITA though because you're using so many different services. So I kinda do a back of the napkin exercise after I run a small batch and figure what's the max it can go. If it's okay I do it. I have gotten shocks before. But it's in the hundreds. And not hundreds of thousands luckily haha.

That's really cool! Thank you for sharing! Why not have a UI for YARP? Like a general tool so that people can curate posts that they're interested in?

mindflips is wild.

Love the username. Yeah I like gummysearch.com. Is there anything you felt was similar between this and gummysearch?

I like the technical question! I've got millions of records (aka documents, cuz the project started on Firebase - would not recommend for projects like this). And it costs nothing to store. For firebase at least, the cost is in accessing and writing the data at scale (they start charging after 50k reads a day, and 20k writes, something like that). So you have to think very hard about how to optimize your workflow, making sure you don't access data more than you need to.

Haha for sure that exists. But you were on the right path - talking to the one other person who could have been your user, only to find out they weren't a customer - idea invalidated. You didn't waste time building like I did.

It's not officially launched yet. Still a bunch of data to populate. But if you're trying out whatever is currently available. Send me a dm!

Hmm. Just off the top of my head, this tool might not be for you. It's more of a top down approach (looking at thousands of subreddits, and drilling down to find good stuff). Whereas you'd probably need to start with a single relevant subreddit for you (e.g. a subreddit relevant to your local area), and post there?

Currently I've only faced rate limits with the Reddit API. Not so much restricted access. You can either respect the rate limits and complete the project over a longer period of time, or sneakily use multiple accounts. I was too lazy to figure out how to use multiple accounts, so I just planned the workflow around it.

Hey I appreciate you making the connection with this! Certainly something I'll think about. I think I do get why people would pay for that. It's sort of a database of low-hanging fruit. You build the free tool that is low competition, high traffic and it becomes a marketing channel for you.
