Hi, there's no real solutions out there to meet a co-founder so what do you guys think about old fashion style meetups? We all get together in one place and chat.

How many people are looking for a co-founder here? A lot I bet. Having a network is great, but it's not enough since you have to convince your friends to quite their jobs and work for free with no guarantee... there's the network of friends and a network of wannabe entrepreneurs.

You're looking for a co-founder? I do. He or she does too. Then let's meetup in our respective cities.

Who wants to meet in SF?

What is the most powerful and free chatbot API (or platform) out there? The goal is to chat about various topics.

What is that specific thing you've learned as an interviewer? A sign, a trick, something you know will lead to a successful hire almost every time.

I can start: When a candidate answers a question very well I usually look at him in the eyes and tell him that his answer was good and right. Most of the interviewers don't do that. I noticed it creates a chemistry between the candidate and myself almost every time. Don't forget to tell people when they're absolutely right. Your turn

Sorry for the people who live outside of the US (even though it might be the same issue), but I'm looking at the republican candidates tax reforms... One candidate is talking about 15% for small businesses/corporates and the other talks about 16%. And something like 10% income tax for every employee. Meanwhile, democrats are talking about "no tax increase" or something like "millionaires should pay %30 instead of 0-%10". By the way, if I make a million dollars today as a business owner I have to give away about 50% of my income to the government here in California. How do millionaires pay only %10 taxes?? Billionaires maybe..

Anyway, I'll be honest with you, I am not a fan of republicans at all... but I came to the point where I have to listen to them a bit more carefully. Beyond all the conservative BS etc... tax is my main concern at the moment. I'm worried... It's what impacts my life everyday. I feel like half of the money I earn is taken away and given back to the government. W2's or business owner's it's the same problem. So my question is, what do you guys think about paying too much taxes? Do you care? Is this one of your main problems?
