About yaseer

Cool project! Slight nitpick (in the spirit of HN): Looks like the search is case sensitive when I think HN usernames are not. Only realised when my phone capitalised the first let…

It's not quite like other infectious diseases (e.g. COVID), in that transmission is dependent on mosquitos as a vector. If they've sufficiently damaged the vector one tourist alone…

I think that was written as a generic, illustrative example. That Example was also for healthtech, which OP is not. Yes ex-Meta could imply non-technical, but OP is a CTO with a St…

Am I missing something, or are HN readers assuming (incorrectly) the author is non-technical and looking for someone to build out their ideas? From what I can see, the author is a …

Are you talking about some other scenario, rather than OP? (i.e. the archetypal 'co-founder dater'?) OP is a technical co-founder - ex-Facebook and Stanford computer science, it se…

Oh man, I didn't read the remote deactivation part - that really is crazy! Preventing resale isn't so unusual, but having your property violated definitely is.
