Totally agree about open data and we actually do integrate with a large number of systems via http://www.open311.org/ , an open standard built by cities and vendors working togethe…

Most of what you describe takes place at the state and federal level, but not local. In fact, discretionary funds are plentiful in our target market—people are often shocked to lea…

Just noticed this went up! Happy to answer any questions about what we're doing, or more importantly, how the amazing folks in local government are performing their jobs. Also, I n…

People at Seneca Systems wake up every morning with a purpose: to design, build, market, sell, and support products that change the way local government does business. That drive t…

Postgres also has the citext column type to make this a snap. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/citext.html

This looks awesome (although I think the name could use a little work). It also brings up a question I have for HN: Every few years, I make an attempt to learn to use one of the cl…

> even more unethical and sketchy That's quite the stretch, and I'm even one of the commenters in your linked thread who used to work there. Gusto has made some mistakes on the emp…

I suggest reading http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/freewill for a pretty good overview of the arguments in favor of the existence of "free will" (which itself has many definitions…

Michael was one of our group partners during S16, and I cannot think of a person better suited for this position than him. He consistently demonstrated the ability to cut through a…

If anyone else is interested in learning more about this, I just finished a fantastic book that covers it in some detail. https://www.amazon.com/How-Scots-Invented-Modern-World/dp/…

I thought it was incredibly valuable, but exhausting at the same time. Usually, meetings like this would be spread out over days and weeks, giving you a chance to recover from each…

Correct--these things are spelled out in the Stock Purchase Agreement each employee is given. I can tell you, however, that all limits imposed are spelled out clearly in that docum…

They do, and this Agreement specified that the ROFR was the only practical limit on transfers. Indeed, the sale passed the scrutiny of outside attorneys who looked at all documents…

Precisely--this is the exact reason that ROFRs exist. They make sure that a company has the option of keeping its cap table clean in the event of a sale by an employee. What these …

In the case @tyre mentioned above, the number of owners on the cap table would have actually been reduced during the sale, not increased. The problem is not with the spirit under w…

It's a function that takes a String and returns a new function which takes a String and returns a String. All functions in Haskell/Elm are arity 1. So in order to construct functio…

In addition to the other comments, I would also note that it's untrue that Rockefeller started doing philanthropic work as "atonement" for his business practices. Even as a young m…

That's true if you try to sell into the municipalities via the RFP process. However, we sell directly to the departments who will be using our software. We've met with great succes…

Can you tell me more about how you're working with Postgrest? It looks really neat, but I haven't heard from anyone using it.
