Ask HN: How can I work towards building a company while employed? 392 by mr_puzzled | 179 comments on Hacker News. I will start a job as a software dev and with the job offer comes a bunch of contract clauses that basically lets the company own all IP while employed. I am from a third world country, so I won't be able alter the contract clauses. With these restrictions in place, what can I do while employed to have a better chance of succeeding when I do start a company? My plan : - continue learning while on the job - prepare for interviews so that I can apply to companies that are friendly to side projects (stripe, gitlab, github and a bunch of other such companies. Please mention companies that are ok with remote workers and are side project friendly, even startups paying $30,000 work for me) - build side projects in my free time that demonstrate my skills - maybe participate in Pioneer.app tournaments so I can network - basically work on stuff that won't become a company...

Launch HN: Prometheus (YC W19) – Remove CO2 from Air and Turn It into Gasoline 676 by rmcginnis | 379 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I’m Rob, Founder of Prometheus. We’re removing CO2 from the air and turning it gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Since we use zero-carbon electricity from sources like solar and wind to make our fuel, there are no net CO2 emissions when you use it. An article about us came up on HN recently and people seemed interested ( http://bit.ly/2PCPFcN ), so we thought it would be good to try to answer some of the questions we saw there and try to dive in some more to any questions that follow!
