you should test AirSend.

Recommend trying out https://www.airsend.io. It is not tied to phone and it has a web/desktop client.

So how many will buy this stock (TBLA) thinking it is TSLA?

Shameless plug. AirSend (https://www.airsend.io) offers the bare essentials one need to collaborate with both internal team members & external clients in one elegant package. Collaborating across organization boundaries is really hard with both ms teams and slack. Thats the problem we are trying to solve with airsend.

AirSend gives you a few simple (chat, voice/video, files, tasks and wiki) but powerful tools and then get out of the way.

Yes. I think you are right. ByteDance is not selling Tiktok outright. They will be using oracle cloud infrastructure. But not sure if that will be enough for the current administration. It feels like tiktok is playing smart.

shreyshrey | 5 years ago | on: Slack Files EU Competition Complaint Against Microsoft

You are spot on. For effective team communication, one need a healthy mix of sync (voice/video calls, chat) and async communication (wiki, task management and documents) . That is the whole premise of our apps (https://www.airsend.io). It brings both sync and async tools in one space to minimize context switching. MS Teams is better in that respect (context switching) when compared to Slack. But Teams UI/UX is really confusing and thier forced integration of tools just adds too much complexity.

The price of the stock is more about the future than the past. The market thinks Tesla has enough moat to obliterate the competition in the future i think.

We have specifically built airsend (https://www.airsend.io/) to solve remote collaboration use cases like this (especially if the use case involves collaboration among multiple teams across organization boundaries). We will be thrilled if YC could check us out. AirSend will be a great addition to YC's online platform, video conferencing and founders forum.

Yes. I find jitsi one-on-one audio call is better than zoom. Screenshare is equivalent to skype if you set the fps to 15. zoom is better for videos if it involve large number of users.

shreyshrey | 5 years ago | on: Why 99% of Your Email Doesn’t Matter

We did a check on our inboxes few months back. Approximately out of 100 emails, 1 to 3 are important to store in some other app other than email.

shreyshrey | 6 years ago | on: How the Zoom macOS installer does its job without you clicking ‘install’

Yes. My experience is really bad too in mac OS. I thought may be something wrong with my setup.

shreyshrey | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What remote collaboration software is everyone using?

You need both synchronous (chat, audio/video call) and asynchronous (email,discourse, wiki) tools to get work done. There is a place for both.

shreyshrey | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any ideas for fun / bonding things to do via Zoom?

We telecasted a company wide talent show via zoom.

Let us say hypothetically the congress approves FED to buy stocks and ETF. Just curious what will they buy: s&p index, total market index or something else.

Let us say if they buy one index, will it be fair for companies who are not in the index?

shreyshrey | 6 years ago | on: Oil plummets 30% as OPEC deal failure sparks price war fears

I think both KSA and Russia eventually will come to an agreement. Current oil prices are not sustainable for KSA. Their budget deficit is already touching 7% of their GDP (https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1XA2EO). If they need to balance their budget they need the oil price to be at 71$.
