Show HN: I vibe-coded a directory of 100% Async Remote Companies

https://asyncworldwide.com/

I wanted to try the vibe-coding thing everyone was talking about lately and got Cursor to help me build a simple directory.It was not all smooth sailing. I wanted to use Svelte & Pocketbase first, but just could not get it to work with my preferred hosting provider, Cloudflare. The AI was lost on how to fix the numerous config issues, and so was I. Besides, the experiment was to just have...

All my fav songs is music I discovered in my 30s
I'm VERY interested in using your service and would be happy to pay if it's good.

I want an app like Google translate where I can point my camera at cuneiform and have it translate it into a modern language. That would be amazing

There are thousands of tablets that need to be translated still, so this would be really useful as a starting point

It's low interest rates that weren't sustainable. And that's becoming apparent

Please. All they had to do was just a little real due diligence.

I'd expect a fund like Sequoia to at least look at financials. Or corp structure and governance.

But apparently not.

Check what Croatian tax authorities think of controlled foreign corporations(cfc's).

Most countries don't allow you to just expatriate income to skip taxes while still living in your local country.

Warren Buffett discussed this in his 2007 letter to shareholders Buffett says that "90% of your job as a director is having the right CEO."

"There is a natural tendency for people with big egos and big motors who get to be CEOs who like to do big things and to become bigger spending other people's money. Normally, when big deals come along [for approval] management has already made the deal anyway, they have investment bankers there that will go through a little ritual - I've never seen one come in and do a presentation which says it's a dumb idea! They know what the answer is supposed to be, and it becomes a little game."

In South Africa "guys" is gender neutral too.

I wish the Americans can keep their weird culture war within their own borders.

And then there's Dave Grohl. Not quite popular anymore but rocking harder than even with creative new songs.
I wish I could upvote you twice.
This is insane. Really. Banning languages now? Are we cancelling cultures next?
Can newer plants be bombed? Can they be abandoned?
