jkka··on Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager
Do you think enterprises/private corps are interested in proactive climate action? Seems more like something government orgs would invest in, no?

Also, you guys hiring interns/FTE? :D

jkka··on What differentiates people who start and run startups that sell for m/b-illions?
Luck seems too simplistic an answer. You still need to have the necessary qualities to be able to recognize when an opportunity comes your way.

Luck can't be the only factor to riches. There has to be more.

jkka··on What differentiates people who start and run startups that sell for m/b-illions?
Most people on here on HN have a lot of technical knowledge and they do seem to do decently well, but millions?

Is it really? Luck to have a better IQ/genes/some other parameter than most other people?

The thing is, not every rich guy becomes anywhere close to Gates or Bezos. What did they do differently or what makes them different than other similarly rich peers?

For govt/intel investment, what did these guys do or what made them stand out to receive such investment?

See, privilege and luck may be factors but there has to be some differentiating factors for these people. WeWork and Theranos founders are said to be extremely charismatic. How? What makes them become like that? Genes? Upbringing?

jkka··on Ask HN: Has anyone here learned COBOL for fun?
Hmm, must have been a really small startup. Doesn't seem like it had any impact on OSes and the software industry at all! xD

Could you elaborate?
jkka··on What are emerging/promising areas of tech to get into today?
Wow! These companies are building awesome tech!

Has demand for 3D tech like this increased since you started Voxon?

jkka··on What are emerging/promising areas of tech to get into today?
Ikr, I don't know why that is being mentioned. If someone suggested AI five years ago. it would have been emerging then.
jkka··on What are emerging/promising areas of tech to get into today?
In your given example, I know it's more complicated than that but it is basically an optimization algorithm, right?
jkka··on What are emerging/promising areas of tech to get into today?
But hasn't AI boomed already? If you said this 5 years ago, then it would be called emerging tech but now it's already here with many practitioners already.

I think many firms have already started entering the ERP space, no?

Also, could you mention some of the usual problems ERP cannot handle?
