white··on Ask HN: Does "semantic sync" pain resonate? Looking for examples
I agree this is one of solutions. However, it doesn't seem to scale very well, based on my experience observing companies with 100 to 300 eng teams.

The problem doesn't disappear though, but shifts to other people. Unless you have seen it differently - can you tell me more?

white··on Show HN: Turn emails into PDFs (as easy as it gets)
(1) is fair point. Use at your own risk. This tool is transactional and stores nothing.

(2) that’s a different use case. This tool is for automation, something that is not being done manually. I do agree there are lots of options to do this on your computer. This tool is for somebody who has emails going and forth and wants an easy PDF copy.

white··on Show HN: Turn emails into PDFs (as easy as it gets)
Not sure if I understand, but you can forward any email and it will reply back to you with PDF version of what you’ve sent. Hope it helps.
white··on Ask HN: What do you think about business logic to code execution?
Interesting you bring this up. Actually, our implementation was intentionally de-coupled from the product and it's based on auth API endpoints. (So yes, for something beyond basic conditional logic, this needs to be enabled first.)

Before a call, this diagram comes with manifest of what data has to be supplied into it. So once it's called, all prep data is there. Whatever happens inside is data manipulation and some basic operations. The output of it is also described in the contract.

Very similar to how customized pricing/rating engine might work (as, in fact, I was PM for one of such).

Your project seems fun, too. I'm pretty sure you are going after some specific use cases.

white··on Ask HN: Do you spend more than 2 hours per day in any SaaS or Web service?
Thanks for responding.

What is custom NTP in browser?

And what do you define as “first access” problems ?

white··on Ask HN: Do you use any CRM with your startup?
How do you sync it with your service? Or do you keep copy of the contacts info in both locations?
white··on Ask HN: have you chose HTML5 over native app?
- So do I understand you correctly, you have both the mobile friendly Web site and native app?

- Are you monetizing your native app or is it "buy 1, get 2nd free" type of a thing?

- Why do you need mobile app at all?

- Is your native app only to gain more market traction, or it actually can do something Web-version cannot?

white··on Ask HN: how to do market research in the markets that you are new to?
Sure thing, I gave it a try, however you can only contact 6-7 people per day, with so far my success rate of those willing to talk is next to nothing.
white··on Ask HN: Where do you keep your ideas?
I run a custom site that I share with a limited group of partners/friends with a rating system where everybody can rate/comment on my ideas. I'm not the only one who posts ideas though.

P.S. Wanna invite? Email me why.

white··on Ask HN: Where to get ideas?
Let me put it this way - a good idea is 30%. A bad one - is none. That's why there are a lot of crappy ideas, and people are constantly looking for something good.
white··on Analytics services: should I pay?
Can't you do the same with Google Analytics?
white··on Ask HN: Please review my new startup. [Free account for HN community]
prokhorenko at gmail.com and we'll see how this works out. :)
white··on Please, let us know your thoughts about Budgteler.com
1. We are working on video, but it's not there, yet. We're not really Mint-like though.

2. 500 error, working on that, but you should be able to login with your email & password anyway.

3. Not using https is just temporary issue, we're just pushing a preview version, definitely https is going to be in place.

Thanks!

white··on Please, let us know your thoughts about Budgteler.com
Thanks!! We're pretty young, but very flexible and so willing to make a great product. We built Budgetler as an answer to many problems we experience with managing personal finances, day to day. More then that, we strongly believe that you should not depend on your local computer while doing your accounting. I hate crawling through number of receipts to put them in whenever I get back to laptop. I want to do this "in da cloud" (if you wish). Please, don't hesitate to send us your comments. We're very open to suggestions and ideas.
white··on Ask HN: What do you eat?
There are many ways how to eat healthy and stay on the low budget at the same time.

One of the first things here is to be smart when you shop. It takes time to find good places, and I'm even commuting 20 miles every two weeks for some grocery shopping, but I can buy high quality food very inexpensively. 20 miles sounds like a great deal, especially, when you'll think about the average total in the receipt (rarely less then $150-200).

And the second thing, organic is a buzz. Buying organic doesn't automatically mean you are buying healthy food. Buying non-organic labeled stuff, doesn't mean you're buying crap.

Whatever, eating habits are eating habits, and I'm not here to change minds. :) I still think that $500/month for a family of three is pretty much enough. However, I can't argue with the fact, that you can spend unlimited amount of dollars on food -- sky is the limit.

white··on Ask HN: What do you eat?
Gosh, I'm spending barely $450-500 for a family of three.
white··on The Funded doing YC-style incubator
Adeo mentioned that they'll provide limited scholarships also.
white··on The Funded doing YC-style incubator
It's not really YC, and it doesn't mean this is bad. Adeo Ressi (who is the founder of TheFunded) has a proven record in this space already.
white··on Ask HN: What do founders do for health insurance?
I thought that professional groups don't have such plans anymore.
white··on How to Incorporate in California and Stay on the Budget?
Yes, you don't have to pay first year franchise tax, but this doesn't make a big difference, unless you're planning to have a company for one year only. Some friends of mine took more then two year to get on revenue (not profit), but $800 is really something you're liable for whatever happens.
white··on Ask HN: S-Corp in Delaware, located in California
The best idea I got on this matter, is the link to http://www.maximumassetprotection.com/scripts/Download.aspx?... - California Registration Requirements for Foreign LLCs by Jacob Stein.

While I can find pretty solid grounds not to incorporate BOTH in DE and CA, for doing some of Internet projects; I'm still concerned about the consulting which is going to take place over here.

white··on Ask HN: S-Corp in Delaware, located in California
It looks to me that I'm going to end up with Delaware corp, paying all fees and taxes in both Delaware and California.
white··on Ask HN: The curse of the green card: entrepreneurship for immigrants?
Not a lawyer, so don't take my advises as is. Incorporate in India, then transfer it all to US when you're ready. Develop the code yourself, then have code acquired by your company, or prepare letter of intentions (that when you can do this legally, the code will be owned by the company for your stake increase). And my understanding is that they don't care that much of you writing code for company either paid or free. The government doesn't want everyone to create their own companies and get employed by themselves, getting legal status in US because of this. Your case looks different though.
white··on Atomkeep - your profile everywhere. (Please, review my startup)
Thanks for taking time and delivering to us your feedback, you've got covered pretty much important things here.
white··on Atomkeep - your profile everywhere. (Please, review my startup)
I don't think there is something in design that everyone would be happy about. We've tried several things on UI, before we came up with the tabbed layout. I'd be very thankful for your practical suggestions, though. Thanks.
white··on Atomkeep - your profile everywhere. (Please, review my startup)
As the most of such systems, JobScore wants to own your profile. From the opposite, Atomkeep wants other networks to own your profile and it'll do the "dirty" job for you on syncing it. JobScore will never be as much effective, as just keeping your resume in Monster, Dice and Jobster simultaneously. JobScore looks like a good partner for Atomkeep, though.

Thanks, good point. Actually, I am looking for a professional marketing person and copy-writer, who can develop good copy for the site. Any references?
white··on Atomkeep - your profile everywhere. (Please, review my startup)
Thanks. Drop me an email and we may arrange a meeting with a beer or coffee if you're close by ;) However, we're about to move to SF area in the mean time.

Hopefully, I've answered it here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=231570

Feel free to drop me an email to alex at atomkeep.com and I can tell you more. Thanks.
