juanrossi··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
How did you manage to get back to Colombia without the passport with the visa? (I also have an expired one but TSA checked my Visa).
juanrossi··on Stripe Atlas
I hope this works and can be done in a massive way.

Being from outside the US, it's hard to start a company there and create a bank account without spending thousands of dollars to travel there.

juanrossi··on How I Created a $350M Software Company Knowing Nothing About Software
Does anyone knows why his name doesn't appear even once in the SEC S1 filing [1] for the IPO?

He could have sold all his shares before the IPO, but thought it was weird.

juanrossi··on How Hacker News and FreshDesk led me to quit my job and launch my own startup
I would recommend trying Webfaction (for a simpler option), DigitalOcean or AWS instead of GoDaddy
juanrossi··on One of my Drupal sites was hacked
I used to work for a web hosting company and we saw this kind of attacks ALL the time.

Most of the cases was because of old CMS versions, but in same others the computer uploading the files was infected and the FTP credentials were stolen (Change your user/password and analyze ftp logs).

I would also check the database and do a clean install of the CMS.

The server could be compromised but I don't think this is the case.

juanrossi··on Braintree is giving $50k in processing to every startup
Hey, why don't you use HTTPS by default and your signup is in another domain (paidez.com)?
juanrossi··on PayTango, pay with your fingerprints
Yeah, I think the site needs a lot of work, but their product seems to be nice: https://vine.co/v/bDHB2rVaYO7

Oh, and they are YC backed.
juanrossi··on Tarsnap – Online backups for the truly paranoid
I've just sent an email to Colin about this. Will edit my comment as soon as I have a response.

EDIT: Wow, got a response in less than 5 minutes:

It's not something I'm looking at doing right now. The way the Tarsnap server side is designed, in order to keep costs low (and performance high), data is aggregated between multiple Tarsnap users and stored in S3 as large chunks; keeping each user's data segregated would add a lot of additional complexity and cost.

juanrossi··on Stripe launches beta in Ireland
Numbers for good or worst? They help A LOT fighting fraud. I think a good solution could be implementing it on Stripe.js.
juanrossi··on Stripe launches beta in Ireland
Not for now, but they should. The problem is that you need to take your customer to another site and that screws all the transparency (Doing everything in just one site) and simplicity that you have right now.
juanrossi··on Minbox: Dropbox sharing made simpler
They have a great (funny) video of how the app works
juanrossi··on Ask HN: 'Must read' books
Yeah, I thought so. I did a fast search and couldn't find many of those, but I'm gonna search a little longer. Thanks :)
juanrossi··on Sunrise - Your New Calendar
I like the UI and the fact that is not another Metro style app.
juanrossi··on Ask HN: 'Must read' books
A few I read:

Design is Job - Mike Monteiro by A Book Apart (Really basic stuff for people starting with agency/freelance work, but really good).

Learn Ruby The Hard Way for people starting.

Applied Cryptography, Second Edition: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C

Baked In from Alex Bogusky and John Winsor (About C+P agency)

I'll try to think of a couple more.

juanrossi··on Font for people who doesn't understand Lorem Ipsum
I agree, but for some cases when prototyping I think it might be useful. Haven't used it yet, though.
