We ended up hosting ourselves for a couple reasons: - We found it pretty necessary to control our network end-to-end in order to manage uptime properly, as well as protect against attacks. - We see pretty significant economies of scale in t

We're trying it a bit differently this time by posting a job listing with commenting abilities (as opposed to the usual YC listing that points to a jobs page, no comments). Feel free to ask us any questions here!

Do you know if you have any DDoS mitigation devices in front of the border routers? Something from like Arbor Networks or Intruguard? In a few attack scenarios, it really helps. We're also facing a multi-gigabit attack this week and have de

> Who buys a $20K couch at a startup? Apparently, some people do. But it's more of a symbol for frivolous expenses than anything else. This thought was meant for the "we just raised money" phase of a startup. It's certainly very applica

But did the couch make your developers a million times more productive? I can answer that right away: it didn't. A $2,000 couch would have done just as well. Yes, you do need to spend money to grow. Yes, it's better to own a smaller piece o

Absolutely. I'm certainly not trying to advocate being a penny-pincher. Growing a company requires spending money, intelligently. This is just a quick brain hack that helps us place value on what seems like a small expense once it all becom

I need to give credit to my co-founder Dan for coming up with this analogy. I think it's especially potent because while entrepreneurs can lose touch with the value of money (eventually, it all just becomes "numbers"), equity always seems t

Also, to be fair, things may have changed there since 2003, but that was the state of affairs at that time.

I lived in Morocco from 1992-2003 and watched/saw a lot of people watch Al Jazeera (the arabic version). Although it's possible it has improved since 2003, the Arabic version of Al Jazeera back then was even worse than Fox News in what they

One thing I didn't elaborate on: Imagine pairing this with augmented reality. Instantly know who everybody is on the street, in a bar, etc. Quite creepy.

I suppose it depends on the application. For signup spam, the expected return is definitely higher than the current cost. And unfortunately, it's also on a website's critical path, so making signing up more annoying is strongly against the

One big issue that nobody is talking about here: There is a huge increase in networks using cheap labor to solve CAPTCHAs. A service like decaptcher.com can have humans solve CAPTCHAs at the rate of $2/1000. At that kind of price, all of th

That's exactly what I thought. If Steve Jobs had been presenting he would have been constantly interrupted with applause. Instead, a botched presentation on a very cool product.
