schema_plus ( https://github.com/lomba/schema_plus ) is having issues with ActiveRecord changes (API changes, methods not existing any more that they remove/overwrite etc). I had a look at it and got through a bit of re-working some of the

It generally is referred to a scrip for scrip rollover (terms may vary based on your country of jurisdiction). You're essentially swapping your ownership in the foreign company for the equivalent ownership in a US company, and the US compan

You missed one: Sold an asset to realize the capital locked up in it. For my first startup my wife and I sold our house, the proceeds from which gave us a year's runway.

What happens in 6 months if you don't get the bump? Worst case you've improved your experience, got more runs on the board and can apply for another job, closer to the one you want. I don't know your personal circumstances, but I would pers

If you're referring to the cost of switching for an existing project with that many views, completely agree - changing any core component on a large project (regardless of how well de-coupled it is) presents challenges, and simply may not b

I think it depends strongly on your target market. If you're building B2B enterprise software used exclusively on PCs on a desk, in an office, with no remote access, the mobile might be less important.

Could you expand on soft landing? Flying high and crashing and burning are somewhat self explanatory from a fund manager's perspective, but I'm curious what you meant by soft landing. Do you mean a 'life-style business', or trying a few sma

I really don't understand this point of view - why release open source software if you don't care about your users, and only care about your contributors? To me you'd be better off NOT releasing it, and just keeping it all wrapped up and cl

Unrelated to the content of the post, but humorous that they get the capitalisation of "iOS" correct, but consistently spell iPhone "i-phone".

Interesting - I was hoping to use this as a way of advertising open positions in our company (ie: "Post Job" should be available only to our company admins). Looks like this isn't possible at the moment?

It may not be 100% reliable, but coupled with other techniques (catching error 404s etc) this provides a nice way to inform the user that their connection to our application may be gone. For single page apps that use browser storage and syn

This unfortunately feels exactly the same as signing up for any other merchant facility. The API might be great, with with wrappers such as ActiveMerchant for Ruby, is that really such a big deal anymore? No clear pricing, loads of info req

I voted No - not because I think an extension is a bad idea full stop, but I think one day won't help much. If an extension is a good idea (I'm not sure), then one until such time that people's priorities are back on YC related things would
