Merge (and other companies who take a unified API approach) are great for integrating many tools at the same time, but are not suited for going deep in a few critical integrations like Salesforce.
Many B2B SaaS products require deeper integrations and more customizability beyond what a common data model supports (e.g. custom objects). Supaglue is designed to solve for these use cases.
You can't. What's needed is a framework and agreed-upon policy of what is acceptable due diligence in the community when taking investment money. Varying degrees of "organicness" for startups - like what you see in the meat section at Whole Foods.
Honorable, but it could also be a slippery slope: how far back do you look? If an LP, or investor in general, uses their personally earned money, but they earned it through capital gains from tainted money - let’s say from stock in a company with human rights issues - do you ask about that and if so do you take their investment?
If you only look at one degree, ie are your direct investors’ money clean, you could also be targeted for laziness in the “supply chain” of your investors’ money. This is similar to problems with blood diamonds, organic foods, unethical coffee etc.

In a lot of SEA and EMEA markets road signs, signals, traffic lights, etc. are often non-existent, wrong or broken. Intersections may have 10-20 signs all oriented in a non-standard position.
Throw in motorists and bicyclists that are constantly swerving between lanes and inches from cars. Seeing current videos of how self-driving cars react, it would constantly be jerking in different directions.
There are also lots of local habits that self-driving cars would need to be trained to do, eg in Nepal when in a two lane and you spot an oncoming car, you turn on your right blinker to signal you see each other and can pass safely.
I'm breaking a 4 yr HN commenting-hiatus to post this: it's a bit disappointing to see how the quality of HN comments has deteriorated over the years. Virtually all the comments I'm seeing here are sensationalist sentiments/anecdotes, backed with no facts, reverberated in an echo chamber. This is a plead to the HN moderators to continue to iterate on your product to improve the quality of the comments.
