Did you pay this fee online or at an establishment?

Could you pay down this fee or was it all due at one time?

This is a question for experiences paying the fine, not so much for advice.

I've added to the question to make it clear.

Ooh, that's much clearer; I thought you were asking for advice on what to do :)

I don't remember the particulars of my run-ins with the law, but I wish you luck!

Thinkpad X1 Carbon - I love this thing. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-ca...

All-in-all, great job and kudos for getting it done! It looks good, functions as it should with the flexibility to fit in any given product.

I like these projects because it helps break the often-overlooked centralization of civil conversation. However, it requires knowledge most of your target audience wouldn't have i.e. Database, Handling Spam, moderating etc.

As much as centralizing conversations get under my skin, the strength in these products is the ease-of-implementation.

You plan on rolling this out into a full product or is this more a project for the OS community to snowball?

Thank you for the feedback! This project was targeted to developers who are implementing commenting feature to their service but do not want to reinvent the wheel. This is something that we stumbled into in Viima Solutions and decided to solve this problem as we needed the library for both desktop and mobile versions of our software. Rolling a a full product is not our goal at this point as there are already existing solutions, Disqus for instance. That is something that we consider after getting more feedback about the library and figuring out if there's a need for that.

Bingo. There has to be some correlation among the products else you run into competition on all fronts. On top of this - the competition you will run into are often solely focused on that product.

In the age of equal access, how does one discern meaningful connections on a free platform?

Imagine if every time someone wrote a comment on Facebook, Instagram they had to answer a simple math question before it's posted. A lot less online bullying will happen and the poster's mind will be sharpened.

With the lack of linked content in HN profiles, you're 100% sure the person who visits any given link you have via the Right Click or Copy/Paste is a meaningful connection that has gone out of their way.

My suggestion - Build a Chrome plugin to scrape the page to discover content that passes a link litmus and programatically link it on the fly.

Thanks Bahamut - Did you bring ideas to the decision makers based on a need you saw at the nonprofit or did they approach you with something to look into?

I experimented more - I was very junior back then, so I had a lot to learn. I didn't really have anything to do with the decision making.

This has been our general findings as well and we've been doing some research on the best way to market. Clearly banking on the technological advantages will be ineffective.

I'll hit you via email because your response brought to mind other things we're curious about. Thanks for taking the time to answer dsacco

Hi LarryMade2, I'm talking about charities, nonprofits organizations that survive on grants and donations.

I took home first prize at a AT&T hackathon here in Houston and I thought the exact same thing.

A lot of corporate ones are set up with contracts that leave your work at their mercy to continue without you. Unless there's a prize - it isn't worth it with these types of arrangements.

For social good, civil, city government, university etc - I'll do it with no expectations just to make a difference.
