From what I've seen, Chile is a relatively safe and intellectually free place to live. They aren't as progressive on LGBTQIA tolerance as say the west coast of the US, but they are slowly getting there.

It isn't dirt cheap though. A house in a nice part of Santiago will cost you around 300-500k (USD).

Hello HN!

Cryptsend was created as a result of my company having to share large amounts of medical data with our clients. We couldn't find an easy and secure solution, so we sat down and created cryptsend. Our codebase is currently in alpha stages so any audits/improvements/security vulns you find would be really appreciated!

I find that what helps me the most are the '--help' commands, especially if it has multilevel support, like seen with the docker cli tool.

The problem with just providing examples is it doesn't always tell me what each argument does, especially if I have multiple arguments, making it seem like the tool works by having a 'magical' combination of arguments, instead of explaining what each argument does.

I agree with this. My girlfriend has unfortunately had to deal with racist name calling as an Asian (I can't imagine what it must be like for those that are even more targeted by the alt-right) in San Francisco, a "liberal" city in the eyes of Americans.

Hey HN,

I just built this as a sideproject with inspiration from http://textio.com after getting frustrated with the lack of feedback and haphazard advice for coverletters on a multitude of blogs. I built it using Flask, SpaCy, Textacy and NLTK with a bunch of heuristics that I took from writing blogs and form talking to experienced manager.

This is just an MVP so it isn't super fast and is missing a few nice-to-have features like HTTP.

TellForm (https://tellform.com)

TellForm is the first design-focused opensource form/survey builder. We are used by small and large businesses who need self hosting and by developers who want a hackable form builder.

What do you hope to build this month? We are looking at moving our beta branch into our master and adding logic jump and an API to the stable release candidate. We are also looking at redesigning the admin panel.

We're in need of contributors who are good at design as well as developers who are comfortable on the MEAN (Mongoose, ExpressJS, AngularJS, Node) stack. We are still using Angular 1.x do you should be comfortable with that.

To contribute check out our contributing guide here https://github.com/whitef0x0/tellform/blob/master/README.md

TellForm is an opensource project run under the MIT license

Sadly though, for us Canadians there is no LegalZoom or RocketLawyer (although I might be totally wrong on this one!)

So its either like a few thousand to setup an INC (LLC's don't exist here) or go the cheap but high liability route with a sole proprietorship.

My favourite quote is from Winston Churchill during some fo the bleakest days for Britain in WWII. I find it especially relevant to startups and entrepreneurs, much like the audience of HN itself.

"If you're going through hell, keep going"
