Outside SV, I have friends in manufacturing. They tell me stories like this all the time. They have to get this executive on their side to win this deal or that deal. I wouldn't da…

I think that's a bit of a false equivalency. The guy incorporated a domestic LLC, which unless he's a total moron, I assume the guy just thought that this is how business is conduc…

Good idea

Thanks, will fix.

I can see doing les mis for French and other seminal works of their respective languages. I guess I’ll try and finish this one first.

Thanks, I used Google Translate at first. I have a family member that does it professionally so I may work with him going forward.

Thanks, yeah. I wanted to see what HN thought before I took the time to finish it. Looks like I will.
