magento Shipping prices not available during Checkout - magento-1.9

Shipping Methods not available!
Hello,
I have a unique problem. I've 1.9.2.3 CE version. Some people say they can't proceed after entering their address. instead of getting their shipping methods (I use USPS), they get a message in place of the shipping methods that say "No shipping method available". The problem is that I go to the website and test it, and I see it fine.
I tried one and I had the same issue. I tried 10 min later, and it worked. What's the issue and how can I resolve it. I'm really a newbie here.
Thanks and I appreciate your time.

Creating and ntegrating payment form using HTML and CSS with Revolut?

I am new to this forum, I am currently doing Scrimba front end developing bootcamp so I am trying to learn. I am running an ecommerce site where I use Stripe as a payment gateway/processor but I don't quite trust Stripe as they have hold my funds for a while several times and I am validating same information to them all the time so it kind of seems very amateurish (I know how big of a company Stripe is) so this is causing me some trouble due to invoicing for the company and I am losing my night sleep over this so I am looking for a solution to try to fix this myself and then I was thinking about revolut. I have a card with revolut and everytime I deposit on the Revolut account it instantly come into that account, with Stripe it takes minimum a week, sometimes 3, if they are in a bad mood.
I was thinking of this process:
Creating a payment form with HTML and CSS code
Integrate somehow that payment with the revolut account.
I have seen some templates on payment forms with HTML and CSS, I haven't yet been able to create it, I am still very new. Is this possible? One of the products are a subscription, where the first price is a 50% offer and the normal subscription runs from the second month.
Anyone that can guide me on how to approach this, if it is do-able?
Thank you for your replies.
Tried googling this solution, tested some of the HTML/CSS forms but since I am a beginner I am kind of lost in all the information around. Still haven't been able to find out with Revolut whether if this is possible or not.

How to create notification for a site?

There is this site that i have to check every time to see if there is any new available house to rent and i was wondering if it's possible to program a notification for it to not miss my chance. If there is any way to do that please tell me how.
one way is:
You can use python to do that,
you need a Bot (Automation) that will check the availability of the Thing you are looking for, difficulty depends upon the site.

Make an item display only for certain period of time on the webpage

Hi guys I am constructing a task distribution management system for my team in which I want to add a functionality that:
When I create a task, I will have an option to choose "how long is this task valid for being taken". For example, when creating the task I put "2 hours" in the
<input id="valid-for">
, then this task will only be displayed on the dashboard for 2 hours from the time it was created and then after 2 hours -> "display: none".
I've searched the web for the mechanism of achieving this feature but I didn't get a satisfied answer probably because I don't know the right terminology to google. I tried to use AJAX and use TIME_STAMP type attribute in MySQL but didn't know how to proceed. Could anybody tell me how to achieve this feature by the use of MySQL, jQuery or any other technics that could fulfill this feature? No code necessary I just need some explanation.
Thanks guys!
Without knowing any more details, here is how I would consider writing the code:
In the database, have a start time and a use-by time.
In your browser page, you can run a script periodically, say every minute (this is called polling). In this case, you can use Ajax to call back to the server for updates.
At the server end, check for new tasks as well as expired tasks. Then send the results back to the Ajax caller.
Back at the browser, update the dashboard accordingly.
I would be inclined to remove the task on the browser rather than simply hide it.

How to get the Greeter example working?

Here is how I am starting it up
eth --private 9195333 --genesis-json ~/test/genesis.json --db-path ~/.ethereum_experiment -i
And
web3.fromWei(web3.eth.getBalance(web3.eth.accounts[0]), "ether")
returns 6290
When trying to deploy the greeter example in the testnet, I always get "waiting to be mined". I am aware of the fact that this has been asked before and that
being the only miner I should be mining constantly and also that the difficulty in genesis block should be low. But, nothing seems to work. I tried mining all the time with the primary account being the benefactor and also used this http://jev.io/genesis_block.json as the genesis file(changed difficulty to 0x0000000 and increased gas limit) but in vain. Any help will be appreciated.
PS: A total newb here. Please point out any mistake I made. Thank you.
I had the same issue. If you use the web solidity compiler and it does not give you an output, you have to add an extra log output to actually display an error message. Check the details in my post here.
EDIT: the online compiler has been changed as of end November 2015 to include the error message even in case of an error (no, this wasnt happening before)

any way to "ping" a phone number?

We have a customer who wants to go through their CRM database and somehow determine phone numbers which are valid, without actually having someone sit there and try calling them all.
Is there any way to do something akin to a "ping" on a phone number (including landlines)?
You will need to go through a third party. I have used Melissa data for address verification with good success, they also offer phone verification, but I have not used it
http://www.melissadata.com/listservices/resphoneverify.htm
If getting a 100% correct phone number is crucial, I'd look into a service which would actually call the number, give a verification code and make the user confirm that code with the site. It is a PIA from the users perspective, but that is the most complete route you can take. Doing a quick little googling came up with this site, http://www.phoneconfirm.com which seems to do what I mentioned. I am sure there are others though.
If you can't/don't want to go through a third party, I can't imagine writing something like this yourself would be impossible. Scaling it would be the biggest issue.
could always go with the good ole war dialer
I believe a CTI system using ISDN calling based service can quickly return a status code that the number is either valid/invalid before the destination begins to ring.
One vendor is Katalina systems, their product is called VoiceGuide and they have a dialling out module that may give you what you want. see www.voiceguide.com.
Just export the calling list to the dialler (csv file) and review the call status after processing.
If the list is very large, it may justify purchasing a system to do this. The rate of calling depends upon the number of lines installed/availble. You might require some custom modifications to abort the call after obtaining the status. Katalina should be able to help. I am not sure if VoIP trunks can give you full access to the line status.
I once did something like that. Yeah, for telemarketers. And yeah, it haunts my conscience to this day.
It was based on a module called app_amd.c (Answering Machine Detection) which was a third party add-on for Asterisk and, AFAIK, can be found in their main tree now. With an E1/T1, you can also distinguish between bad numbers, busy, and many other status codes. Look that up, it may help.
