We can't see any failed donations around this time, and we've had many successful ones, so we'd love to get more info from you to debug if you're willing. My email is in my profile. Thanks so much for the help!

Yes they are surprisingly cost-effective in the countries Watsi operates in, which isn't intuitive for those of us who live in places where surgeries are very expensive. "A review across 23 LMICs found that low-complexity surgerie

We have Zoom on our Slack workspace and we'd remove it immediately if this were the case, but it appears to be false. The full list of permissions required by the official Zoom Slack integration is at www.slack.com/apps/A5GE9

Wow, this is great. Props to the Clerky team. If this had existed in 2015 we would have used it, instead we paid a few thousand extra. For anyone starting a mission-driven company, there's not really any practical downside to incorpora

Another upvote for Garry and Alexis from a YC alum! Garry was such an empathetic, helpful person throughout our startup journey.

We went with a broker based in DC, Joshua Lavine, for health insurance, since that's where we [eventually learned that] we needed to base our plans from. Great experience (well, the DC small business health exchange is a separate sad s

PSA: Go with Gusto (formerly Zenpayroll) instead for payroll. We signed up for both Zenefits and Zenpayroll several months ago. Zenefits was a nightmare. Zenpayroll has been an absolute delight. They obviously don't offer identical fun

Agreed! Thank you for a much improved plan compare :) I do think there's room for innovation-- we just have to implement reliable software first. Piling on: If you're interested in being an early employee at a growth startup worki

I think if you could see close-up how these systems work now, you'd be convinced that it's completely not worth the vast cost (in time, energy, money) to try and figure out who "deserves" each of the many, many special b

I'm happy Lyft is demonstrating that it actually cares about its core/founding values of decreasing car usage. They could have viewed this as a distraction to expanding its existing dedicated-driver model, in order to better compe

There's a lot of (understandable) cynicism here. But if this makes you mad and you want to do something about it, email your links/resume to jobs at hcgov dot us. We're a team of a dozen or so software engineers (many ex-Goog

This is SO well done. So, so impressive. A side question, for any doctors on HN-- I'm really curious, what do you think about the Blood Tests section? That is, the benefits of monthly blood testing. From talking to one earlier today ab

We allowed our users to cross-post to CL if they chose to (it was opt-in, not the default, and they had to sign into CL themselves to do so... so not automatic) and many people did. If they cross-posted to CL, there was all the basic logist

[Ridejoy] This was a frequent joke around the office (ok, mostly me.) The future of rideshare, long-distance and short-distance [UberX, Lyft, Sidecar] is absolutely in self-driving cars and "everyone" knows it. I assume all three

[Ridejoy] The short answer is, we didn't prioritize having an exit on our resume, or making the most money possible on the way out. (Nothing wrong with that, we just had different priorities) Edit: +1 to patio11

[Ridejoy] I've also used CL rideshare, and many of our users did too. CL rideshare works great for the people who keep using it (by definition). It doesn't work so well for most people-- if you feel especially vulnerable (are you

I've been using Rover on iPhone for a few months and it's great. Prior to Rover the best option was using both Google Maps (great routing, but no real-time schedules for SF transit) and Routesy/Nextmuni (real-time schedules, but no routing)
