I used to use Elance occasionally when I wanted some cheaper programming, graphics, VA-type stuff, etc. Since they changed it to Upwork it seems like the quality has really gone down though, plus the site is just a pain in the ass to use. For anyone who used to use Elance - what do you use now...

I was watching this TV show where a guy got out of prison, it was the middle of the night, and the credit card in his wallet had expired while he was in there and he had no cash. So I started wondering, if you were in a similar situation, how would you get your money to you? Assuming you have...

I got a notification from PayPal that someone tried to open a "PayPal Credit" credit line in my name. They said they denied it because they saw I already had a PayPal account and extensive history with them so it seemed strange that suddenly I'd need their credit. I was not the one who applied...

Today I received a call from my bank about possible unauthorized activity on my debit card. I checked the charge and it's to some random template-looking site that appears to be based in San Francisco. The strange thing about this is I don't even use that debit card - that entire bank account...

I have one google account for Gmail, and then a completely separate google account for YouTube. I want to be able to keep both signed in, so if I go to gmail.com then I'm signed into the correct gmail account, and then if I go to youtube.com I'm signed into the correct youtube account. I haven't...

I've been seeing these Clash of Clans ads on TV lately and was wondering how they would evaluate their effectiveness in relation to their usual PPC ads. Would you just look at the dates that the ads aired, and then see if you had any growth spikes in downloads on those dates? But then if you...

I would like to hire a coder to create a script using the utilities mentioned in the title (or similar, if you have another preference). It is for one of those top-site services where fans of your site can vote for you, and the more votes you have the higher you appear in the rankings. You can...

There used to be a site called AdWhirl where you could input your code from several mobile ad networks, and every time it displayed an ad to a user it would rotate through the networks automatically so you could see which one was getting the best CPM. I'm recently getting back into mobile dev...

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice simple Twitter bot? Looking for something that can mass follow users who are either (1) interested in a specific keyword, maybe they have that keyword in their bio or something so the bot can identify their interests, or (2) following specific users that I...

If anyone wants to meet up for lunch or something let me know. Details about my business are in my sig. Any recommendations for stuff to do? The main things I'm interested in: - Museums and art. Don't care about bars/clubs, not interested in traveling all the way there just to get drunk. -...

Anyone have a recommendation for an accountant who is knowledgeable in moving/forming companies overseas, as well as understands at least the basis of online marketing? Basically looking for the accounting equivalent of Aaron Kelly.

I recently started testing Stripe (credit card processor). The money goes to their account, similar to PayPal, and then every 2 days is sent to the bank account number that you enter into your settings. All you do is enter the account and routing numbers and they can send you your funds as...

is there a way to search for an exact term, for example now if you search "jack" you'll also get results for "jackson" ... how would you define the search criteria such that it would only give you results for the word "jack" with nothing before/after it in the word?

This involves bitcoin but is more a question of economics and finance. There was a small discussion about this on the bitcoin forum but didn't get many replies since many people there are only interested in wild speculation, so I wanted to see if any WF'ers could chime in. Max Keiser posits...

When Obamacare was rolled out, my health insurance was cancelled and I had to sign up for a new plan. Applied for a couple (not Obamacare, just regular plans). Even though the exact same coverage I already had was now 3x more expensive I just said fuck it and signed up anyway. Tonight I get a...

I'm looking to bring in 3 new affiliates to push one of my new products. Been running it myself for 4 months with consistent performance. Only looking for a small number of solid pubs so the brand doesn't get saturated. Personal chargeback rate is around 0.16% and bank has fully reviewed all...

I'm planning to sell one of my websites and assumed bank wire transfer would be the best way to accept the payment (obviously not taking paypal or cc, to prevent dispute/chargeback fraud). However I remember a couple years ago when I was a publisher with EWA (lol) they sent me the usual weekly...

I would like to set up a phone number that will just play a pre-recorded message when someone calls it, and after the message is finished it will disconnect. Anyone know a site that can do this?

I'm starting to accept more payments through PayPal and was looking around for some fraud protection settings (negative database, limiting revenue per customer, etc the usual stuff) and couldn't really find anything anywhere in my account. Anyone know how to get to it, or do they just not offer...

I took my GT in for servicing last week and when I got it back, the remote was busted. There was a scratch on the side and these fucks obviously dropped it, but they actually denied it and tried to say it was already like that. You can't even use it now. I called Maserati HQ and reported it to...
