Sorry, it was LinkedIn's rate limiting :( try again!

Re #2 - sorry! I had to restart the server. Try again now :)

We understand that we did some unacceptable things. We get it. As individuals, we don't have $20k. The fine is not just a slap on the wrist, it's financially ruinous.

That is fair. That's a mis-statement on our part. We should have said "we allowed users to monetize." Once again, Sand Hill Exchange never charged any sort of commission or took any revenue or profit. User deposits were limit

Whoa... Sand Hill Exchange never tried to make any money off the site. We did let people put their own money on the line.

I like that distinction. Elon Musk is commonly thought of as a founder of Tesla, but he didn't actually join the team until he led their Series A round and became part of the board of directors. Ref: http://www.quora.com&#x2

The idea has merit, but I suspect that the real reason is that rich VCs in the Valley don't want their tax dollars going to the rest of the state.

Another vote for Java, because when learning to build an Android app, you'll be searching for answers on stackoverflow every 15 minutes, and it's easier to use the language everyone else is using.
