I read from the faq that there are tax and legal obligations, that there are some guides and a free call, and that there won't be any ongoing assistance unless Orrick and PwC are hired.
Do you have any experience with them? Do you suggest any other service that would help on this? A while ago I found tempcfo (used by stripe itself, slack, and others) and indinero, I wonder if they could help on the ongoing assistance and which is the best option
How's your experience with legalzoom? I'm in the process of incorporate my side project, and as a not US person I'm looking on the best way to do it. From opening the company, the bank account (without having to take a plane and go to the US just for that), and also all the work that needs to be done during the year (taxes, accounting, and I guess many more)
The process has been fairly simple. You need to have atleast one person having SSN in order to incorporate the company. I can help you with more details on type of corporation, bank account and few other details. Please email me [email protected]
I've set Docker on my Linux machine and it's working like a charm. Then I had to do the same for my coworkers running OSX, the vbox shared folders are definitely unusable.
Now it's been few days that I'm trying to find the best way to have a two-way sync in order to sync back changes from docker to the OSX folder (eg. when you upload a file and it's saved in the /public folder, otherwise it'll be lost)
So far I've used docker-osx-dev[0] for 1 way sync (with rsync) and it's working nicely.. they also plan to add the support to unison for a 2way sync
I've also found docker-unison[1] but I haven't found a way to have it working correctly
I'd like to try with boot2docker-xhyve, but it only runs on Yosemite and later
I use docker for development on Mavericks using vagrant + coreos as the host VM and things works nicely [0].
NFS shared folders performance is fine and the configuration is trivial.
There's https://github.com/codekitchen/dinghy if you want to mount the Mac host volumes inside boot2docker via NFS. We have a Vagrantfile that does this, but dinghy packages it all up nicely.
At the end of the day though, Docker as a development environment is really bad on OS X until a VM vendor fixes file share performance. I really wish Docker would make it a priority to have decent Mac support.
Shared folder performance has been a known issue for as long as I can remember, with the recommended solution being to use NFS.. Is this not possible on OSX?
It'd be very useful to have at the end of the questions a list of all of them showing the response time and sorted by it. That way you get an idea of which ones took too long or too short and improve them.
It would be awesome if all the so smart people visiting HN could contribute with their opinions on github in order to make it better before the final release
Do you think is practical to build an internal invoice system that takes care of the whole VATMESS? How long do you think it'd take a single developer to do it?
I know that there are many different services like the ones in this thread, but as a single developer, on a bootstrapping project they'd still be out of budget
In a few more words, the product appears to have been designed with user needs in focus more than the others, and the end product is closer to solving them. The article reveals some of the ways they've achieved that. Furthermore, it goes beyond simply meeting user needs into a superlative user experience that also exceeds expectations. It's not too complicated: a big part of their success is that they have created a better product in the eyes of users.
In my opinion the big difference was a usable free tier, and the recent move to easily support logging in to multiple teams at once. Also general quality.
The big thing is that they let you use it for free, get hooked, and then when your team is all in on using it, paying the $60/user per year is worth the upgrade. They made their base product good enough that you don't need the full version... until you do.
There were interviews from last year where he talked about slowly converting teams from free to paid.
I use slack for a side project with 15 or so people involved and while we're using the free version, it is on the list of things to pay for once we have some sort of revenue.
From the doc: "µMatrix does not guarantee that sites will work fine: it is for advanced users who can figure how to un-break sites, because essentially µMatrix is a firewall which works in block-all/allow-exceptionally mode out of the box: it is not unexpected that sites will break"
Workaround is to un-block whatever net requests which are causing a site to break. I can't make sense of "no work-around": unblock everything?
Edit: There is a scope-based switch to completely turn off matrix filtering.
Hi, I am well aware of the matrix and a fan (have been a HTTPSB user and now test uMatrix sometimes). I am also a contributor to https://gngr.info which has a Request Manager inspired by the matrix.
I was referring to a few issues I encounter in uMatrix which are not present in HTTPSB. I probably should log them; was not sure if uMatrix is ready for full-time use yet.
Since I went back to firefox those are the only extensions I really miss, there is policeman (https://github.com/futpib/policeman/) but it's not as good as them yet
To whoever develop extensions, please don't focus only on chrome, firefox during the last months has become must better that it was before, if developers only consider chrome, people will eventually migrate to it and firefox will die. Even though chromium is open it won't be good for the ecosystem
I do want uMatrix ported to Firefox. The developer who ported uBlock[1] has now made it more easy for me to work on a port of uMatrix, as I have now a model on how to proceed + a lot of code which can readily be shared with uMatrix. Once it is ported, in all likelihood I will myself go back to use Firefox as my main browser.
As my paranoia ramps up year on year, I now use Opera with µBlock. For me, it has the polish of Chrome with some nice extras, but without the increasingly creepy Googality.
It works fine, although I've not tried µMatrix. (I have my defaults changed to DuckDuckGo. Usually connecting via a VPN.)
I've whitelisted a few sites I like to support (a couple of webcomics, HaD etc).
I have a lot of filters: "62,501 network filters ＋ 40,728 cosmetic filters".
Opera's task manager says the extension is taking up a mere 32MB. Probably not accurate, but a lot better AdBlock (my previous favourite).
Off-topic but I wish people would stop using Mu for project names. Where is the Mu key on the keyboard? I have to copy and paste or alt-code it. Call the project microBlock or something! They use "u" instead of "µ" on Github, so why not just use something else entirely?
µTorrent was the one that really irritated me because I couldn't type "utorr" to search for it on my start menu.
I'd say something to gorhill (albeit far more politely), but it seems childish and ungrateful. He's clearly poured so much time and effort into making such useful software. "Great software but the name is fucking annoying, mate!"
Don't sweat it. It's actually quite a good name. It works both as "you block" and "micro block" depending on reading the first character as "u" or "mu".
Use a compose key system, native on Unix (Linux, Mac, etc) and available on Windows. It's very intuitive and will open up your character vocabulary considerably. I use the caps-lock key for compose.
In addition, I pretty sure many European keywords can type µ by alt-gr+m, at least in Windows on my Danish keyword. Only know that because once I had a keyword were they actually had printed it on the key, just like they always do with € on E.
There's always character map which has this and like all others you can ever think of. A bit cumbersome, but at least one doesn't have to remember character codes and can search for characters by name.
"Let me google that" pulls out character map pretty poor UX if you ask me. Almost as bad for search ability as calling your product "go" or "cloud" or "driver" or any other one-word generic, hard to find even with contextual terms around it.
I've tried a couple of times to work with uBlock and uMatrix. I ended up going back to ABP each time. The 'block an ad on this page' feature is one of its best and most useful. That, and it doesn't go too far in blocking useful item on-page.
As I said in a similar thread on Reddit a few weeks ago, uBlock has some way to go before it can be considered user-friendly (at least, for the user who isn't familiar with the intricacies of how browsers work). I would love to be able to use it, though. ABP is an enormous resource hog on my system, but more to the point, pages render so slowly when it's switched on.
I went back to Firefox in the last couple of months and I wholeheartedly agree. I used to use HTTPSwitchboard in Chromium (which divided into uMatrix and uBlock) and I miss it in Firefox.
Firefox has improved a lot and it has been good for more than I year (I switched back in the middle of last year). Before that it was slower than Chrome, and it crashed when trying to read very large pages (eg a tumblr page of gifs).
Google helped to close the gap by making Chrome more bloated and much more unstable.

Your comment is almost worthwhile just for the irony in this.
Tabbed browsing basically hijacks window management away from the OS. Tabs are always implemented customly in-app (UI break) - and break the UX of window finding, switching, etc. (doubly annoying in a tiling WM, btw). That's all browsers.
> Personally, I hope Mozilla goes away and some other group comes along to fill the void [...]
> No, I much prefer that Mozilla just go away and die.
Yeah, they're just squatting on that cyberspace and not letting other people through.
Plus, FF is bundled/pre-installed everywhere nowadays; sickening! Your hatred is well placed.</s>
Funny, as an early windows user, I had gotten very used to alt-tab for inter-app switching and ctrl-tab for in-app tab/subscreen switching... which works for browser tabs for me... add in shift to reverse the direction.
So what's exactly your point? How does Mozilla interfere with your life and worsen it, so that wishing them to "die" would be justified?
Why don't you just ignore them? Why do you want thousands of people to lose their job and why do you want to take away an open source software that's liked by millions of users?
Sure it does. I asked why Chrome, not being open sourced, is "bad" for the ecosystem. Unfortunately, I packaged that with an unpopular opinion. Hence, the censorship doled out by yourself and others. Way to go!
If you don't think there's actually a big difference between actively trying to kill something and hoping that it just goes away and dies, then I guess there's nothing else to talk about.
It's a good thing that people don't need much convincing since Firefox is apparently dying anyway. Good riddance I say :)
