I read from the faq that there are tax and legal obligations, that there are some guides and a free call, and that there won't be any ongoing assistance unless Orrick and PwC are hired.
Do you have any experience with them? Do you suggest any other service that would help on this? A while ago I found tempcfo (used by stripe itself, slack, and others) and indinero, I wonder if they could help on the ongoing assistance and which is the best option
How's your experience with legalzoom? I'm in the process of incorporate my side project, and as a not US person I'm looking on the best way to do it. From opening the company, the bank account (without having to take a plane and go to the US just for that), and also all the work that needs to be done during the year (taxes, accounting, and I guess many more)
Docker under OSX is a real pain to solve ASAP.
I've set Docker on my Linux machine and it's working like a charm. Then I had to do the same for my coworkers running OSX, the vbox shared folders are definitely unusable.
Now it's been few days that I'm trying to find the best way to have a two-way sync in order to sync back changes from docker to the OSX folder (eg. when you upload a file and it's saved in the /public folder, otherwise it'll be lost)
So far I've used docker-osx-dev[0] for 1 way sync (with rsync) and it's working nicely.. they also plan to add the support to unison for a 2way sync
I've also found docker-unison[1] but I haven't found a way to have it working correctly
I'd like to try with boot2docker-xhyve, but it only runs on Yosemite and later
It'd be very useful to have at the end of the questions a list of all of them showing the response time and sorted by it. That way you get an idea of which ones took too long or too short and improve them.
Here more questions (it's not mine, I just found it a while ago): https://www.aptible.com/blog/y_combinator.html
Good luck to everyone for the interview! We're still waiting a reply for our late application
And here the pull/merge on github: https://github.com/json-api/json-api/pull/341#event-23794270...
It would be awesome if all the so smart people visiting HN could contribute with their opinions on github in order to make it better before the final release
Do you think is practical to build an internal invoice system that takes care of the whole VATMESS? How long do you think it'd take a single developer to do it?
I know that there are many different services like the ones in this thread, but as a single developer, on a bootstrapping project they'd still be out of budget
I've never understood why slack is so famous and got so much traction when other alternatives existed way before it, like hipchat
You should migrate to umatrix (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/%C2%B5matrix/ogfcm...), http switchboard is not maintained anymore
Together with umatrix (https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/) are the best chrome extensions
Since I went back to firefox those are the only extensions I really miss, there is policeman (https://github.com/futpib/policeman/) but it's not as good as them yet
To whoever develop extensions, please don't focus only on chrome, firefox during the last months has become must better that it was before, if developers only consider chrome, people will eventually migrate to it and firefox will die. Even though chromium is open it won't be good for the ecosystem
Am I the only one not finding how much the verified certificate cost? It says that it has a minimum fee, but it doesn't say how much it is
This is awesome! Thank you for your work and Stripe and DigitalOcean for the sponsorship
I've just noticed that the search is not very good, a part the requirement of having to write exactly the correct name. Even writing "Angular" (which is the name showed in the global data) doesn't work.
A fuzzy, case insensitive and autocompleted search would be much more useful
Nice, I'll check it out!
Given the premium price of Slack compared to alternatives I'd have expected that they were the one developing a Linux client
I also browse with JS disabled and it sucks when people don't properly have a fallback in place, even if it's just one click for me. Even more when those things can be done by css and thus not breaking when JS is not enabled
But the question is: why? Why fade the text content from white to black when the content is below the fold and by the time I see the content it's already black? It seems quite a useless effect to me
Thank you for having a $1 plan, I always wanted to try out Baremetrics to have a better understanding of my [few] subscriptions but I couldn't afford their price - I know, $29 is not much, but bootstrapping the company and paying various other services I need it sums up.
You surely got me as a customer, and I'm looking forward to have more than 100 customers and upgrade to the bigger plan!
I haven't seen this lecture yet, but I also want to thank you Sam and all other people who had lectures.
These 2.5 months have been very interesting and being from the other part of the world I don't have access to these kind of people and information. The people I know and hang out who have created companies have revenues of a couple of millions when they have something "big", surely not billions.
I hope one day to be also part of the YC family
Thank you Tyler for your talk (and also to Michael, Qasar and Dalton), your talk is probably the best one I've seen during these 19 lectures.
I've a question for you (and to any other company which has sales reps), how do you pay sales agents? I'm reading a lot on that subject, and I still cannot figure out what would be the average commission to pay to sales agents in a SaaS/tech company world, would it be 10%? 20%? 30%? Based on every payment (ie. recurring) the customer does, or just on the first one? With or without a base salary and caps?
I'd love to know how you figured it out and maybe some numbers
Thank you!
Do you know if there is a way to access that report? I'd be interested to read it, but $500 is way out of my personal budget
