There is a software called Type Studio which have a free version and supports many different languages I guess.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Not serving EU customers for better sleep?

Go once through the whole process and put everything on right and then serve EU customers as well.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B

Hopefully Figma won't go under the CC and then there won't be a free version anymore.

That are great news! It's about time that YouTube focus more on learning content! I'm building a platform where people can connect who consume the same YT videos. I fell like the comment section is a horrible place for educational content. Would love to hear your thoughts on my project. It's https://www.baselog.co

Hi! Great product. Would love to know where the limitation in terms of frequency. How many can you send without being flagged as spam?

Appreciate it! Thanks.

No equity of our company but I will get some RSU's and since they are a public company they are limited how much they can hand out and the majority will be in cash and some of it combined with a earn-out.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

True that

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

Some very good point! Thanks a lot. We already covered a lot of these points but some need to be addressed. I hope we will discuss the base salary with decision makers and not only HR who is not that much involved in the whole acquisition process.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

Thanks for the advice! Very helpful. Do you have any general tips for negotiating a salary?

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

But leaving would mean that the entire deal would fall through, which is no longer an option.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

It is indeed a big company. Definitely a good point, but they should have a little scope. I should start with the pay bands and find some good arguments why I want to move up in the payroll.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

It's definitely acqui-hire, too. That makes sense! Thanks for the perspective. I'm just wondering what arguments to bring to these types of conversations.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

So you would say to set an anchor as high as possible?

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Salary negotiation?

I don't want to be cheeky with them, but at the same time I expect something more than industry standard. The problem is that I have never worked as an employee before and salary negotiations are new territory for me.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the next big thing?

I strongly believe that the next big thing is education! School and university systems are stuck. So I believe now is the time for the education industry to be disrupted. Elon Musk's Synthesis school is one example that is taking off rn. But topics like lifelong learning and education in work environment are equal interesting and have a huge potential.

Dimidium-07 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is it okay to just bootstrap it, even when VCs are knocking?

We bootstrapped our company all the way even though we tried to raise VC money but failed. However if you keep grinding and can manage growth there is a clear path how you can become successful without external funding. We got acquired after 2.5 years without looking for an exit.
