My CPA opened me a bank account in the USA (he's from USA too) without me having to visit the states, is this legal? Or is there any risk to this approach?? I'm in the same case as the parent question you have answered :S

Call me stupid, but the only reason why I incorporated an LLC in the States is because I wanted get access to the Stripe API for production (yeah, it's a huge compliment to the Stripe guys ;) The payment gateways in my country are shit

This is the author's prejudiced opinion spun into an article. I could write the exact same thing for Ruby, Javascript, etc. PLus, if you are starting a company, the last thing that should matter is your tech stack. The first thing that

When is Stripe coming to India? An estimate would be really nice! The only way Indian startups can get to use Stripe right now is by setting up an LLC/LLP in US/UK and accepting payments through the LLC. The problems with this app

Also, watchout when you bad mouth them on HN, they use shady tactics to downvote comments written against them (I was a victim once; their employees downvoted me in groups). I don't trust this company nor their employees at all - In fa

Well said. For the first time I agree with you....unless I'm downvoted into abyss for expressing my agreement :P

Yes, this was in India only. But please don't mistake all of India to be the same, this was a very specific incident and a case concerning a bank with questionable ethics and it's employee, which could likely happen anywhere else

The person bugging me was actually the Citibank employee, not the affiliate store staff, thus has a lot to do with Citibank.

Citibank is one of the worst banks I've dealt with. Once, one of their affiliate's employees offered me a Credit Card for free and said "it had no strings attached" and I don't need to do anything to keep it alive.

Hey guys, can someone tell me what exactly is an SDK, or rather how do you design one? Case in point: Does the Amazon SDK include their source code? So, let's say if Amazon offers me an SDK that I can install on my servers to capture a

Their docs say they do it automatically, but for me sometimes they don't, which sucks and breaks my video player (flowplayer) on my sites. :(

One more important thing about these custom URLs: 1) Your Google+ profile is publicly indexable by searh engines. 2) Having a custom URL means anyone searching for your name on Google is going to find out your Google+ profile easily . Basi

Sometimes they don't resolve properly too. And for vide, it's worse, they don't set the Mime type sometimes, which is quite irritating, for example say Mp4, because the video tag needs this to be set for it to work consistent

Why are you challenging deepGem when he is confronting based on first hand experience and facts while all you have are just mostly assumptions? I understand you intend to win the argument here, but this is the wrong way to do it. >Again,

Yeah right, there are no incidents of people getting shadow banned due to personal vengeance/ stuff they disagree about, on Hackernews. /s And 'running it free' is not like they are doing us a favour like you make it out

You are talking based on your own experience. I am talking based on mine and 12 others I know of. No offence, but you get the point, right? :)

SSD's are not there yet, if you ask me. I've been running on a custom SSD on my Mac mini, with restarts required once daily after crashing (mostly due to chrome). A dozen friends of mine also had a buggy experience with SSDs. They

They don't need to re-shape the way their website looks, just the way they handle journalism. These guys are one of the few to bastardize journalism in the tech space. We want to read about News - about reporting what happens, exactly

You maybe right that I can make up this $60 somehow. But the question isn't about the cost (sorry if my post was misleading). The question was about the ownership. For example, assume, depending on where you live, your favorite manufac

$75 a month is pretty expensive for many freelancers and the only reason I considered CC in the first place was I got a 40$ discount of $30/mo, but again the penalty applied, so I didn't buy it. Sorry for not mentioning this in th

You were the same person who asked domains for free when it clearly said it was $50, right? I don't see how you would buy anything expensive at all, let alone an Android phone. ;)
