I just remade my personal site after a 6 year break. It took me 4 hours to redo a static HTML and CSS mockup, learning a bunch of great new things about CSS Grid and Vars... then another week to convert that static into a Gatsby static-gene

I learned this from the GE repair guy who came out to repair my broken down 2yr old dishwasher. He also said: "Never buy anything from GE." Then he plugged an ethernet cable into my fridge and updated the firmware. Mind blown.

Well that explains why their money-down price jumped from $500 to $5000 within the last couple of weeks.

If you can recognize art then you can recognize posters/ads. That would remove the need for any QR code or machine readable printable element.

I'm going to go all Australasian Coffee Snob here: They may well be correct for Berkeley, but they've got a large barrier to acceptance outside of the US.

I've been noodling on this product idea for about 6 months now, but never gotten around to building it. Drat, but congrats on doing it. One killer feature I would propose is to help candidates weigh up multiple offers; salary, equity,

You've described pretty much every country's immigration requirements, not just NZ. I've lived in NZ, the UK, and the US. Every one will ask for proof of health (TB, HIV, etc) and if you're attempting to gain a Visa atta

As a founder in the UK I was using Xero and a London based virtual-CFO about 8 years ago, and it was an absolute life saver not having to deal with the cruft. The accountants did the books for most of the good startups in London at the tim

Having lived in both for a few years each I can definitely say that SF is cheaper, at least on a per-sqft basis. You also earn twice as much in SF (plus the equity lottery). That all said: SF certainly ain't no London. I'd still

Ditto – I think even on a like-for-like comparison housing in SF (I just moved to Alameda) is cheaper than back in Auckland/Wellington. Wages are certainly higher anyhow.

You would find that NZ has a very user-friendly tax system. For the most part there is no need for a tax return for a private citizen in FTE.

Yes, it's anywhere outside of strong US ties. In New Zealand you'll get chased down the street by the honest waiter telling you that you've forgotten your change.

To give more context for non-Kiwi's: New Zealanders have traditionally valued houses above all else, treating them as their retirement plans. We don't have capital gains tax or stamp duty, so house flipping has been a valuable sid

Why don't you just wire it up to the Xero API instead of the bank accounts?

This is also, as far as I know, an American concept - growing up in NZ we never had to group shower. The only place I can remember such nudity would be the at the pools, which as a young lad you went into the changing rooms with your dad, w

$800k sounds low. You've still got to do the retrofit, or it's going to be a TIC, or it's going to have excessive insurance costs... even then you'll be outbid by 20-30% over asking price. I've been sitting on a 20%
