I need help integrating Lucene/Solr (a search indexer with a REST API) into WikiPaper ( http://wikipaper.org ). You can do the backend in whatever language you like. It's an indepe…

I'm a technical founder, looking for a co-founder. I have no way of assessing other non-technical co-founders, which pretty much limits my options to technical co-founders. How oft…

To get into YC, I mean. Is there a pitch event?

People do, although I'm unsure how often. Here's 3 Qt (cross-platform) frameworks: http://stefanfrings.de/qtwebapp/index-en.html (I've personally used this, it's a good one!) https…

Clerky say that they can register Delaware C corps electronically, however on the site corp.delaware.gov, I can only find some pdfs to mail in, and those pdfs don't seem to render …

It looks like I need a "registered agent" when incorporating as a Delaware C corp - anyone know how to choose one? Is there one that YC companies typically use?

Are cap tables typically private? That is to say, can new investors see the entire cap table?

There are many, many disadvantages of incorporating here. For example, if you are an atheist, or have any other ideas that are anti-mainstream (eg. are critical of dogmatic feminis…

On angel.co/syndicates, there are many syndicates, and they have 4 numbers each: 1. "Syndicate Backing" Is this the amount of backing available per startup, or per all startups in …

I read in a previous thread that VCs sometimes do reference checks before signing a deal. That's fine, I work for one of the Big Co's in the valley and they can confirm my employme…

On the one hand, Trump has an 'interesting' relationship with foreigners. On the other hand, he does like small business. It's already possible to start a business on the E-2 visa.…

I use cherrytree, it's a tree-like set of notes http://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/

- Add an upper bound to the number of investment properties someone can own. Owning more than one or two is clearly parasitic behavior. Banning this parasitic behavior allows breat…

I've been explicitly told not to do it and still do it. So long as you're productive it doesn't matter.

The discussion is often not as good as here.

This attitude is so defeatist. It's not hard for executives to look at companies in free countries vs companies in oppressive countries and see which ones are doing better. It make…

Their purpose is to make money. Therefore, entities that make it harder to make money (eg an oppressive government) will be seen as threats. Therefore, they take actions like convi…

I would imagine they haven't done it simply because the execs haven't thought about it or don't understand end-to-end encryption. If you know someone at google, give them a prod to…

In the context of running a startup in the Bay Area. For example, a post I read eons ago described how, when talking to an investor, and they ask you if you're talking to other inv…

I use it but it's frustrating that it doesn't support multithreading which is why it's so slow. Fortunately that will be fixed soon though.

I would actually argue that what we have today is worse than 1984. If you read the book, the protagonists have economic security/stability, even if in a totalitarian government. We…
