Without details it's impossible for us to tell you how to price any of this stuff. But I will say if your goal is to make money off selling your services, then yes obviously you should include a bunch of line items in your proposal for host

So tell us.. Wouldn't being "that guy with no fingerprints" be a more clear identifier, and draw more attention to yourself, than just having the same boring blurry imperfect fingerprints that the rest of us have? If the goal is to increase

$5000 might not be such a bad deal, if that money includes setup and legal fees performed by a for-real law firm. Also consultation, trademark and patent services, etc. And 1% equity is really great. You won't find an accelerator taking l

I've heard of people doing this before, removing their fingerprints with a sander.. But I believe the fingerprints will grow back after a while. Couldn't you get into more trouble if they grow back and you are carrying around a passport wi

You've touched on an important point, and it's related to a fund's investment profile . Every fund has one, and Astia's and YC's profiles are very different. It's not really fair to make apples-to-apples comparisons between two funds wit

"There’s also a lot of variety: you don’t see too many cleantech, pharmaceuticals, or publishing companies coming out of Y Combinator." I think it's unfortunate they're playing the gender card while the real reason for their success as an

Don't worry about the paraphrase, my original comment was probably too ambiguous. Yes, I do believe that the government probably understands that health care is a huge problem for startups. What I don't believe (and this is the point of th

Explain why access to health insurance is a bigger issue than access to a paycheck? I can have access to a paycheck by selling stuff. I can have access to affordable health care through some combination of public policy, state and federal p

Yeah, I agree that this place feels too formal at times, and I hate feeling like I have to be a master of rhetoric just to comment here. In fact just yesterday I got sucked into another thread that went the same way. I've come to the conclu

So I don't see how you can make the statement "the government doesn't understand that affordable health care is the main priority for startups" Haha, I didn't make that statement.. But you put quotes around it anyway? I was just speakin

This is for myself and my spouse, both in our 30s, non smoking. We just switched from a plan that was $1100 a month and included everything to a plan that is $850/month but has higher copays, higher deductable, and does not cover her aller

Yeah, I have thought about that, Boston and Philadelphia aren't that far. But stop for a minute and think - we are seriously talking about commuting 2 hours to save a few hundred dollars a month on health care. Why?? Why do we even need t

by bhousel 16y ago
Steve is absolutely right that government doesn't understand the challenges facing startups. For example, I'd put "access to affordable health care" above "access to capital" as a barrier to getting a small business or startup off the groun

Or just PGP encrypt any emails with root passwords or other details about your system. Just make sure you decide before the emergency who needs to be trusted with that information, and be smart about how you exchange keys with everyone invo

You kind of ignored my point about verifying the person's identity while you have them on the phone. LAST EDIT: Fine. shibboleths, passwords, pins, safeword cards, emails, texts, callerid, voice, and face to face conversations are all great

by bhousel 16y ago
But once you have access to a person's email, you could just go back through the history and look for past communications like this and mimic them. That's my guess about how they were able to ask specific questions about the root password.

"The takeaway is that Apple should brand itself with a specific pop song that has existing cultural cache, which it never did." You can seriously think of no time in the past 15 years that Apple has done this? Edit: I'll give you a hint: h

While technically possible to blanket an area with RF jamming signals, I think both sides depend on the signals so much that the nuisance of jamming the signals outweighs the benefits. Kind of like with GPS signals - our military could (and

"I have a lot of experience in a variety of industries, but I wouldn't say i'm an expert in any." This is going to be your biggest challenge. You need to become an expert in something. Or at least, adopt the mindset that you are an expert

The commenter was probably talking about moving images, not still ones. That is, the strobing effect is due to inadequate temporal resolution, not optical resolution.

IIRC, there are a handful of companies in the program now that were already funded prior to being admitted. For a company like that, a 150k convertible note might not make much sense.
