I've always believed that if one of GoogleMicrosoftAmazonFacebook etc. started opening up more major development offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal (but mainly Toronto), we would stop losing so much of our top talent to the US. Co

What are your thoughts on working with the Ontario government to study UBI?

So given that YC wants to fund studies on UBI and Ontario recently announced that it begin looking into implementing it, wouldn't it be best if YC assisted in funding the Ontario experiment? Even though it's outside the natural sc

Eh. I don't use Gmail because their login page is ad-free. I use it because my workflow is better. I was expecting your screenshot to show the minimized amount of ads within the inbox. But you could argue that Outlook is reasonably mi

To further extend from the suffrage movement, it is important to note that minorities (men & women) didn't legally have the right to vote until the 1965 Voting Rights Act. So Sanchez has a point in claiming that historical preceden

Hold on. Before we make judgment based solely on mentioning race in a slide. I highly recommend reading Nicole Sanchez's full take on the issue here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2015&#x2F

I wouldn't conflate tech-savviness with being a Snowden-supporter. And I wouldn't suggest people suddenly align themselves one way or the other based on the premise of tech-savviness, education-level, political-savviness, etc.

Also consider that Peter Thiel sold $100 million worth of stock back in August at $93. A significantly larger size at one price as opposed to Andreessen's multiple sales in the past 2 weeks. You can see a list of Insider Trades here:

It should also be fairly easy to find in Toronto. I can attest that my grandparents tend to burn stacks of Hell money whenever we visit the cemetery. Followed by the usual feast afterward.

I disagree. Grabbing everything because you don't have time to sift through the data and passing them to so-called "respectable journalists" doesn't make it right. In the same way that people claim dragnet surveillance

I'd say Facebook's emphasis on developer tools shows they'd be more committed to go down the route of building custom hardware for their devs like mouses, keyboards, laptops, workstations, etc. As opposed to building hardwar
