You certainly shouldn't share your salary, much less provide a W2, for most positions. However, not only is it not illegal to ask for a W2, for most sales positions it is the norm. The reason is that sales people make most of their mon

"This is significantly better than AH which has much greater single-sector risk" Are you saying a16z will make less than 17.2% per year in average returns on the years 2009-2015? Want to bet?

The thing you are missing is that it's really really hard to find the breakout startups. Even the top tier VCs don't know for certain whether a specific investment will be the breakout in their portfolio. They are betting that 1 o

Alright! Hope to see you at alumni demo day. I think your company will be better off if you stay in the bay area instead of returning to Tennessee. I am from Atlanta, started my company there, and miss it a lot, so I do identify with your f

I logged in just to say that you don't have to feel so disconnected from the startups in SF. Although I don't go to many parties, if I met you at one, I would consider it my good fortune and anything but a buzzkill. Most of my fri

Eventually it might, but that assumes that all cars will be driverless. Even if driverless cars have a 0 error rate, human driven cars will run into them at at least the same rate as they run into static objects. At any rate, this eventual

It's pretty unlikely that Drummond got any Uber equity. He isn't an independent director, he's representing Google as an investor on Uber's board.

That $0.56 number includes depreciation. There are other costs like insurance which are non-trivial. Initially at least, it's not going to be much less.

in this case, David Drummond was presumably the steward of Google's 250M+ investment. The reason investors join the board is so they can help the company succeed and make sure their interests are being protected

Google is the only company with a potential edge over Uber right now. The point in time at which self-driving cars are usable by the the public is the only visible inflection point where Uber's hegemony is truly threatened. (edit) The

Hey, you have an interesting product. Curious why you priced it per vehicle. I am a potential user, but the per vehicle pricing makes it incredibly expensive for us to even consider it. What kind of customers do you have right now?

At first glance, OPs comment was comparing what I believe is the first really usable wearable device to something that looks similar in form factor but is eons behind in day to day usability. So the analogy seemed quite accurate to me. And

This comment reminded me of CmdrTaco's slashdot comment after the iPod launch: http://t.co/RPAX2r93kx I think Garmin forerunner will be to the future of wearables what Nomad was to the future of music in 2002.

All POS systems that support NFC payments (which is most of the new ones I believe) support Apple pay by default.

by ajju 12y ago
It looks like Applepay generates one-time cards by default resulting in a single-use Stripe token. Does that mean the use case this supports is only one-time payments versus "sign up with Apple pay+Stripe"? Any advice on how best

I still remember the dinner when we found out that Antoine Hersen had passed like it was yesterday. I think it is safe to say that the entire YC batch took home the advice Antoine gave to the Plangrid team that night.

Both. I remember the Plangrid team carrying around an actual paper binder for construction blueprints during YC. The thing weighed more than many people could lift! From what I remember, those were blueprints for only a subset of that proje
