Started off as an email a link to get paid with Stripe for art dealers but now has a focus on the due diligence and was well-timed with some EU money laundering regulations.

Growing revenue 150% month on month and will likely have to become my main source of income soon.

Frequently in the UK I'm seeing options that are clawed back if you leave the company at any point. EMI options that can only be exercised under certain conditions such as an exit.

Quick post on how we solved the issue of rotating AWS access keys with a pretty distributed team. Interested to hear what other solutions people have adopted to solve this issue.

There seems to be a plethora of these open source dashboard builder systems.

I just want to pay for a hosted version that isn't going to be $1k monthly and require me to build "plugins" to do something that is akin to an API call.

Having signed up for a trial the major downfall from your on-boarding process is that there is no test data for me to have a play with.

I want to give you guys a chance but my initial evaluation needs to be with some dummy data tailored to your features so you can showcase these.

I'm not sure I get your point.

Do you disagree with; abortions? The wars in Iraq? The animals in shelters are euthanized? People who oppose the death penalty?

Regardless, your condescending tone is insulting. And, I'm not entirely sure what to say in regards to your comment that people who oppose the death penalty have a mental illness.

But what happens when those companies already have a ping pong table or five?

I mean there's a limit to how many ping pong tables Twitter wants to load into their office.

This might be somewhat unrelated; Is there any reason Stack Overflow decided against deploying on something like the Open Compute Project.

Nice share! I don't think people will ever openly discuss their struggles and will continue to have issues doing so in focus groups. The answers and solutions to mental health are complex and need serious discussion in society and any material that can probe that discussion is another step forward.

The UK press seems to have a field day when it comes to multi-national corporations not paying corporation tax.

We will no doubt shortly have a number of MPs telling us how unacceptable this is and that Facebook need to start paying up.

This all irks me a little.

362 Facebook staff on an average salary of say £65,000 will contribute at least £7,230,696.60 in taxes and NI to HMRC. Let's also not pretend that £65,000 is the average salary at Facebook UK, it's likely much higher.

Then we can look at those 'stock' bonuses that much of the article seems to point towards. There will likely be capital gains tax paid by employees on the sales of those assets down the line.

The UK has seen a strong economic recovery and remains a global financial centre and the business friendly tax policies of the UK likely contribute heavily towards this.

If I had a choice between Facebook paying £4,327 in corporation tax but employing over 350 highly skilled individuals in the UK, or relocating to somewhere like Dublin due to aggressive taxation policies. I know what I would pick.

I've often wanted to use Go for some silly little side projects and I typically just end up with a Flask orientated Python stack. This might give me some motivation to finally create something other than a todo list with Go.

I've reached out to Rob Small(Miniclip founder) on numerous occasions over the last 5years. He's always very helpful, supportive and willing to make introductions. He also bootstrapped Miniclip to where it is today.

I doubt Miniclip is going around throwing DMCA notices to companies cloning Agar.io without good reason.

The amount of companies that are providing some form of tracking or advanced analytics based on traditional mobile advertising is pretty huge.

This could eventually be an event significant enough to kill a number of companies.

I went ahead and ordered some Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirts. Thanks for that recommendation!

I came here to say this.

Mod looks interesting. I'll have to try them out!

My bad. I don't typically check back over anything I type on HN. If I had $1 every time my grammar or spelling was incorrect, well you know the story.

I think Uber is a great company and I love the product.

However, I can't remember a startup that received billions in funding and having such disregard for local laws around the globe. I just don't get it. They literally don't comply with any law in any country and give zero shits about the consequences.

I wish there were more Ask HN posts like this.

It's also a great chance for someone who perhaps is looking for a gig to put some code up here that quite a few people will review.

Why do the links below 'You can use Kedo to build services like:' point to companies like Rdio and Reddit?

3years ago I would probably argue that you should just use Python 2.X. But most packages you will use are now ported to Python 3.

If this is indeed a non scripted and uncompressed demo this technology is pretty outstanding.

SoundHound[1] are behind this product.

Great idea! See you there.

Heroku might be worth looking at if you're just getting started with some basic Python deployment. Although it wont really teach you anything about deployment other than some Git basics.

Interesting question...

I have no idea, we honestly haven't thought of this one bit. Send me an email at team@leadngin.com and I would be happy to test this for you.

Yes! We've got something in the works for next week in regards to lead generation and investor information. With permission we will also release the dataset and make it public.

We pull in data from private and public sources and the real magic isn't crawling or scraping data. It's what we do to make sense of the data, the information we can link together and using the data to understand businesses and the individuals inside them.

I'd be happy to talk more if you want to reach out to me at m@leadngin.com

Sure, I will reach out to you!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree we should be clearer in regards to how it works. I'll put an example up there over the next couple of days.

In regards to the setup fee. We spend a bit of time before on-boarding where we get to know who is receiving leads in a team and who you are targeting. We didn't want to exclude small companies who start small and grow big and in some cases they were only using 1-5 leads a week. With an account balance it meant they didn't drop off after a couple of weeks and continued to receive leads until they had chance to see benefit.

At first we were all about the £1,000 per month minimum spend. Then we realised that two of our users spending that spent no more than £100 on their first invoice.
