How commonly do you see each of the voting/veto rights you listed negotiated? What are some others that may be listed that you'd deem inappropriate?
Re:What Happens When a Founder Is Fully Vested? on Saturday December 08, 2018 @10:55PM (#18639175)
It's a helpful thing to put in place if you have more than one founder. It makes it clear to everyone ahead of time what happens if one of the founders leaves.
Re:New Zealand to ban foreigners from buying existing houses on Thursday October 26, 2017 @10:27PM (#15565201)
Lol, that's BS. It's very difficult, and impossible for many people to immigrate to the US.
Going by Nylas' blog post last month, they say new development of the Nylas mail client is sunset, and the team was reallocated to the API product, which is doing better commercially? https://www.nylas.com/blog/sunsetting-nylas-mail-development
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017) on Monday July 03, 2017 @02:59PM (#14690559)
Percy (https://percy.io) | San Francisco ONSITE | Full stack engineer

Percy's hiring the 2nd engineer to join the team -- work directly with the founders, have a large impact, and help set the culture from the start.

Percy's on a mission to eliminate manual QA review of web applications. We do this by integrating with test suites and component viewers, capturing snapshots, sending them to our browser rendering farm, and then automating the visual review process when the UI has changed.

Our customers include Google, Mozilla, Ubuntu, the New York Times, Basecamp, and Stitch Fix. We're growing strongly each month, as more engineering teams learn about Percy and adopt it to manage their own visual UI reviews.

If you have at least a couple of years working in a web stack, feel welcome to apply. You can find our job on Angellist, or email me directly [email protected]

GitHub Apps (was called Integrations until today) allows for 'per repository' configuration. We use it at Percy.io and it works pretty well. It has some other parts that need smoothing (like a non-admin going through the flow), but GitHub's been improving it. :) I like it a lot.
Re:Ask HN: US Visa for foreign founders after first seed on Monday April 24, 2017 @09:16PM (#14190004)
You're allowed to say no to your investors. In this case it sounds like you probably should.

$100k isn't giving you much runway in SV. You won't be able to hire anyone, and would soon be out of cash and have to leave (you'll save a portion of your cash for that right?).

If there's something you really want to move to SV for, come for 2 months, stay in an airbnb, and do what you need to do. If you need to and can, raise more money (investors or revenue) if you're set on moving here.

There's a PM at Microsoft called Sean McBreen who works with Visual Studio. Probably the same guy. He's posted his email address publicly before - [email protected] (i.e. here https://github.com/Armitxes/VSCode_SQF/issues/2 )

It appears to have a massive elevation on Twitter's normal tweeting rate limit.
Re:Squire: FastMail’s rich text editor on Monday December 08, 2014 @12:42AM (#8715091)
I went looking for where their docs talk about handling attachments, and couldn't find it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Only took about 10 clicks before it came up with some porn pics.
For reference, the deleted comment above mine had asked if all of the companies listed in 'used and loved by' were legit (fair skepticism I reckon). After I answered they deleted their comment.
Yep, they're all using it often, and they all gave their permission for us to list them there.

Stripe's Twitter support person: https://twitter.com/kitchenettekat/status/456150203066617857

And you can look at the via tag on the reply tweets sent from @tweetbot and @npmjs_support to see that they're using it.

Thanks for the kind words. We really should get a technical blog going - we've learnt a lot about MeteorJS over the last year.

Re:How I Lost My $50,000 Twitter Username on Tuesday January 28, 2014 @11:19PM (#7141844)
He tweeted pretty heavily previously. Was one of the small team who made @echofon. He'd reduced his tweeting, but was still using the account in other ways.
Re:How I Lost My $50,000 Twitter Username on Tuesday January 28, 2014 @10:47PM (#7141731)
Have just been talking with him. He first asked Twitter for it back on the 20th of Jan. 8 days ago.

It's true! I was skeptical so I just called it and got a human after 1 button push and a 10 second wait.
