I don't care how good you are, you cannot 3D print a barrel that will withstand the pressure forces generated by a centerfire round.
Autocorrect is based on statistical prediction model. Most people, most of the time, did want to write "Salad" instead of Saad. I am Eastern European, I just add my name in the dictionary and problem solved.
Demand for Racism is outstripping the suply once again.
Well, we are glad you told us.
Ah PayPal, all the power of a bank, none of responsibility.
Yes, for Canadian citizens, relocating within a country.
Because good ol' USA literally just elected a fascist.
Cliches of comparing Trump to Hitler are cliches for a reason.
I followed until the "I would be offering to pay for their relocation costs if I were them." - That would/could never happen.
Countries can speed up immigration process, companies can pay relocation costs. Not the other way around.
About two months ago we show HN'd www.zora.io - A tool to help landlords land and keep great tenants by using data analysis.
Since then we have head a steady 8% week over week growth. We closed a small seed round and added 4 developers to the team to work on the mobile app and keep improving the algorithm.
You have to be invited by a landlord to apply as a tenant (as you get associated to a property/unit)
9.) Legal liability. The same way that the accounting software still tells you to go and talk to a certified accountant in their terms.
10.) Our customers are landlords. As a tenant, you can apply from anywhere. But we cannot pull the data for "anywhere" so you will have no score.
They are focused on physical property management. We are trying to build a tool that would eliminate a need for property manager (for the most part at least).
In a way, we are complementary to each other.
Thank you. So far, we targeted smaller, citizen landlords (few units) but a lot of sign-ups are medium sized (100 to 500 units) property management companies.
Correct, but the market pull we are seeing is from the mid-sized property management companies.

Very clever. I hope it does well for you.
I find the post photo where Jason holds a phone with Skurt logo, alluding to an existing relationship equally disturbing.

Let's say that we have a web service called NUCO where you can login and upload a spreadsheet of your debtors or add them manually and you click on "collect debt" button. NUCO then builds a profile of the debtor based on their social media profiles, etc and determines the best channel and the best tone of contact. So for example, if we have a C level executive who seems to be paying all of his...

It takes a while to come to the "product does not suck" stage. People need to be able to eat and survive during the development stage and there are only handful of examples of companies that switched successfully from service to product (Mailchimp, 37 signals and few others come to mind). Starting a startup/new product requires full time commitment. Part time commitment often means part time success so for a lot of people it is better to stick to security they have providing freelance work and services. Just my 2c
jQuery bit was originally intended to make it compatible with require.js loading; chetan51, Groxx - thanks for pointing it out. We removed that bit but we missed the dependancy, removed now thanks to chetan51

If you are familiar with Django you are familiar with a nice set of template tags called "humanize". In essence it turns data such as "13 April 2012" into "2 days ago" or "1000000000" into "1.0 billion". JS Humanizer is a jQuery counterpart to the Django humanize template tags we wrote and thought that others might find it useful too.

TitanFile solves the problem of secure file sharing and tracking (accountability) as the data is secured end-to-end, there is notification of receipt/download (who accessed the files, where from, at what time etc) and ability to set files as read-only (access only from the browser window over SSL connection) as well as verify identity of recipient before giving them access to the files (2 factor authentication) without requiring recipient to have a TitanFile account.
Dropbox kicks ass as "file system of the internet" but sharing files with people in a secure and private way with dropbox is a big pain.
With next release we will integrate with dropbox and Google Docs as well.

Problem with this approach is sharing and key management.
If you want to send something to someone, that means you need to securely communicate the key to them first or take the SpiderOak approach of "We guarantee security locally but if you share a file = file is shared unencrypted".
