Interesting re: Comfort in False Negative Zone Put another way "Hire for strength not lack of weakness." Put yet another way, the strengths can yield asymmetric upside, while the w…

This is awesome. Congratulations on the launch. I can see a number of use cases for Marketing, CS, and Sales orgs

love this! needed this at the last company I worked out. Was always surprised how manual and generally not secure the whole process seemed to me.

thanks! so far the companies we’ve talked to are delaying full-blown reviews as long as possible because of the stage of company they’re in. We certainly do work very closely with …

thank you! We’re starting out of the gate with COPPA and will fast-follow with GDPR so we currently cover the United States (in English). re: spoofing. this is a tough problem to s…

thanks! the laws do change across country lines. while we’re focused on the U.S. right now, we’re actively researching applicable laws in other jurisdictions.

Hey HN! We’re Daniel and Arjun, founders of StandardCode ( http://www.standardcode.io/ ). We make it easy for companies to comply with child data privacy laws such as COPPA and GDP…

While this is exciting, this is not always a good thing. Two years ago, we tried this at Homejoy as an incentives for the cleaners to get 5 stars.ie. If you get 5 's on your appoin…

The goal/intent/promise with these companies is always train AI to automate the process. This is good for both "buzz" and cost reasons long-term. Companies describe the AI as two-f…

awesome, thanks all! i agree with the sentiments about adding an example. i have a lot of features i want to include as I build this out.

pretty basic backstory: I read a biography every morning to inspire my day. My friends wanted me to create a newsletter about it. I don't know python or anything like that but mana…

you can bump into 10 pitch meetings at The Creamery or Coffee Bar in the mission.

this is effectively what postmates did in the early days, which was to offer delivery from places without delivery mechanisms, which inherently isn't wrong. interesting approach to…
