I'm aware the recent talk is geared more towards seriously funded companies, but I would like to get a feel of the figures in general from the first few months of YC. When talking to potential co founders (a lot of which have never hea

Should be arriving the day before. Count me in.

Thanks for sharing. Always useful to know figures for perspective.

Yeah that could very much be a "record not found" error in disguise.

Still waiting. Fingers crossed. Although it's still only 5:20 if it's being managed from the west coast.

Interesting to hear of companies using alternative data channels to build platforms on. How's adoption with US/European based Telecom APIs?

I think his point was that in some cases the idea is to let the product get out there and let the people themselves decide as consumers, rather than someone arrogantly deciding that they would "be better off without".

This isn't just with acquihires though, the liquidation preferences set out in the term sheet for a round of investment in general could yield the same result in any sort of liquidation event. I suppose it's all the more reason to

Doesn't matter. Unless it's for a short period of time to fulfil a requirement for an educational course, then there's no need to be doing this. If your friend wants to work for no direct monetary incentive, tell him to contr

Guess this is now the most successful kickstarter ever.

So, in the past I achieved what the parent was talking about by using a templating engine that could be rendered natively by my server side language and by js. In this case it was moustache. With a little config glue my templates could be r

This is a really lazy complaint that gets reiterated when this approach is mentioned. There's no elaboration here to provide substance to the argument. When I think stereotypical enterprise java complaints, I think people joking about

Likewise, I ask it also. When someone has spent the last 3 years as a "JavaScript developer" and doesn't have a basic grasp of context in JS, them it's a red flag.

Strictly speaking, isn't the link between whether an algo is polynomial or not in time complexity only loosely related to its intractability? ie: polynomial usually correlates with tractable but not necessarily? My knowledge in this is

Pretty bad if you plan on employing lots of JS in the long run. As fantastic as jQuery is, when it's all you know, everything looks like a $-shaped nail. That said, you don't need to go crazy and go off it cold turkey, you can ver

The naming of this could have a negative effect on it's discover-ability, given how popular the physical hyperloop concept (by Elon Musk) can be on HN.

Hah, I guess the old saying of "if you think of an idea, chances are someone else in the world is already working on it", is true. I've been mulling over a concept which is 99% similar that I'm hoping to validate. Please

It's the "calm down" attitude that allows politicians to trample over our rights simply because zealots campaign for it to happen. If more people displayed the outrage they should be displaying then maybe technologically illi

It really depends how you read it. I read the hook as getting a non technical person to explain the product so the benefits are communicated in layman's terms. Most people don't have a partner in the same profession, so it's simply a situat

That point seems pedantic to me. The author is talking about the logo as central element on the flow of the page. His point was to put communicating with your potential customers above shoving a brand down their throat. EDIT: Although on se

Compared to a lot of consultancy firms which simply have dry PR content in their blog, this is awesome, definitely proves the company knows it's stuff.

Great tips. Need more articles like this. Thanks.

With respect, the attitude above is the problem. The point is to never give them an inch, as they'll use it to take a mile. It goes against the very foundation of modern justice, innocent until proven guilty.
