Launch HN: Feather (YC S17), painless furniture rental for people who move a lot http://ift.tt/2s5TOtj

Launch HN: Feather (YC S17), painless furniture rental for people who move a lot Feather ( https://rentfeather.com ) is a furniture rental company, setting out to provide stylish, affordable furniture to people and startups that move frequently. I've moved 5 times in 6 years living in New York, and each time I spent an overwhelming amount of time at IKEA buying, schlepping, and assembling furniture I didn't exactly want. And at the end of each lease, I found myself with furniture that didn't travel well to my new apartment, and often had to scrap it, only to return to IKEA again to furnish my new apartment. It was a cycle of buying things I didn't really want, that didn't really last - and I'm sure many of you have gone through the same trouble. That gave me the idea for Feather. Click a few buttons and your furniture is delivered, fully assembled, and placed in the room of your choice. And importantly, when you're ready to move, tap a button and we'll come and pick it up. We're excited to help people live more free and flexible lifestyles - and would love the feedback of the HN community! Thanks all, Jay, Founder & CEO June 29, 2017 at 10:31PM

As it stands, handsets that currently feature Type-C ports only ship with a single cable and that annoyingly doesn’t support computer connectivity, so if users want to transfer files to their devices, they have to purchase an additional wire or adapter. However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
