Any timeline on when we can use the transfers API to send to bank accounts outside the US?

I managed to open a US account with HSBC without being in the US but it was incredibly painful. It involved getting a solid introduction to a client manager and relentlessly following him up over the …

I clicked the first link and wasn't convinced. Surely you would want to find the most convincing article that you could find and link to that?

Are you a customer of Vizify?

I'm fairly new here but yet to see a ton of Catan action. Fancy a game?

"it's trello for software development". I think that's called Trello.

That could be true. The risk is that it prices the low to mid wage workers out with AirBNB not even keeping them in an area. I'd love to see a study on the average income of AirBNB hosts outside …

Anecdata: I stayed in NY last January with a guy who had 10 different places from Greenpoint to Williamsburg.

"56% of Airbnb hosts in San Francisco said they use their Airbnb income to help pay their mortgage or rent." If these people didn't use AirBNB they couldn't afford their rent. They…

To reduce his risk. Now he has a bunch of other smart people who have some skin in the game. They have motivation to help him succeed - which should encourage them to help him grow and eventually to f…

Someone has to handle that transaction - like Coinbase. Part of their risk is that Coinbase, still an early stage company, isn't reliable enough to process their volume. They could have issues wi…

I think you can find this kind of work on oDesk at the same if not higher rates. In Texas you should be able to at least double the rate as a junior developer, if not triple it - a sure sign that you …

400 customers and $370m in transactions. So average customer is doing less than $1m in transactions a year. Will be interesting to see if they can retain customers as they grow, I guess that's th…

Nice! I think our customers would love to use this tool - is there a way we can work together? ned@tweaky.com

I think the moral is "practice makes perfect". Nice work!

Andy Warhol made things for insecure dumb people and sold drugs? I don't get it.

Spot on. I worked on three different startup ideas unsuccessfully before moving into an existing business. I learned a little in the unsuccessful startups but not a great deal - it's hard to lear…

This risk is always in every conversation like this. Look at SnapChat turning down $3bn from Facebook and now FB integrating a lot of that functionality into Instagram.

Phil has spoken a lot about building Evernote into a 100 year old company. Maybe that's why it takes so long to fix some of these issues? The app is definitely getting better, and Skitch has come…

Why are they doing this? Are there any good resources out there on the split with WSJ?

This article is over a year old. Check out http://hired.com for the rebranded, and still awesome, site.

Do you have many employees outside of the US?

>Ok so 253 extra people will die from obesity. What about the ones that will not die but be disabled. What about those that don't die from falling of the bicycle but get disabled permanently o…

I can also imagine a lot of the data getting muddled as a result. Do more people click the signup button because you made it bigger and changed the copy, or is it because you reduced the clutter in th…

Do you think you could do it again? Are you working on the next thing or happy enough with this success?
