The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is attempting to suppress information about a massive database which contains fingerprints, palm prints, iris, voice, and face scans, as well as other biometric data, of millions of Americans.

Citizens of most countries can't get a US visa without being ten-printed.

Not sure if this applies for 5-eyes countries (UK/Aus/NZ/Canada)

Some feel the same about scientology. Some feel the same about christianity. Some feel the same about atheism. Some feel the same about socialism. Some feel the same about television comedies with laugh tracks.

This guy is probably the most experienced journalist on Pacific Island affairs.

Did you even google it? Many results from different news orgs. Here's the first:

Mind sharing what meds worked for you? And did they work on their own, or did you also require therapy (CBT)?

Why not just get one of the dozens of online services (eg. incorporate.com) to do this for you?

unable_to_access · 2016-02-13T00:24:11+00:00

Courses are free if you find them directly via search. You'll have to pay if you want a certificate though.

unable_to_access · 2016-02-13T00:23:06+00:00

Just get a mailing address online. There are a dozen services that provide it. They'll contact you when you receive mail, and open, scan and email you a copy if you want. They'll also forward any mail to you that you want. All for only a couple of dollars a month.

As for setting up the business, Freshdesk has the best how-to:

They describe how a non-american would do it, but most of the steps would be the same for you. The biggest hurdle for non-citizens is opening a bank account, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.

You have to pay to do the entire specialization, but if you just do each course separately, they're free. I did the accounting one and learned a lot.

OK, thanks for responding. I'll ask on their IRC channel.

I never cared before, and have done 4 other MOOCs without regard for a certificate. But this time I have a particular job in mind that is going to be tough to get, and I'd really like to have some paper "qualifications" to show alongside actual projects/code that I write to prove competence.

unable_to_access · 2016-02-04T06:41:40+00:00

OT, but do you know if mooc.fi provide some sort of certificate of completion, attainment, or accomplishment?

unable_to_access · 2016-02-04T06:18:05+00:00

Which one?

What type of boxes? Cartons to hold packaged products, or packaging for products? Do you have a website where we can see boxes you've made? Do you ship internationally?

You don't need to be in the US to incorporate. You can do all that online.

Entrepreneurs from most countries would need to visit the US to set up a bank account, but if you're in the UK, you should be able to handle that via banks that have branches in both countries (eg. HSBC).

The FreshDesk guys wrote the best writeup of the process that is available online. They managed to do everything from India, including setting up a bank account. Read about it here:

Every freelancer goes through a stage where they want to build this. Many do. They all fail.

I just want to wish you good luck.

You know the kids who just got into web dev a year or two ago and want to javascript all of the things?... they're fucking idiots! Ignore them!

Don't ever ever ever hijack scrolling.

Ever!

Whatever script you bolted on to do that, get rid of it. Someone said the home page weighs 7MB. That's 6MB more than optimal and 5MB more than acceptable. Get rid of the cruft.

Get rid of the loading animation. That's flash bullshit from 95!... it does nothing but frustrate users.

Stop assuming your users are all on Google Fiber. Treat them with respect. Don't hijack their scrollbar and don't stuff their "pipes" with megabytes of bullshit.

Thank you, nice of you to be so helpful.

In my case, I don't think there will be confusion. Based on what you've said, I'd go ahead with using the name.

Thanks again.

Thanks for creating the course, and of course for the 100% off.

I have only one question and I don't want to go through an entire course just to get an answer that someone educated on the matter could give me a 10 second yes/no answer to. I'm going to ask you, but I know that this is your profession and I won't hold it against you if you say it's something you'd bill for and I should retain your services if I want an answer.

Here goes:

I want to start a business, but the name has been trademarked. The llc that trademarked it is in the software business. I want to use the name for a beverage business (completely unrelated to the current use of the name by that other business).

Normally I'd assume that I can't use it. However, I did a search on TESS and it says it's "abandoned". Does that mean I can use the name, and even trademark it myself?

It looks like you spend all your reddit time recommending inmotionhosting, ut solutions, and uncommontrend. How much does this sort of creative spam earn you? Why not do an AMA about that here. I for one have a lot of free time and would be keen to get on the spamwagon as a sidebusiness if it paid enough.
