It will still be the boards responsibility to get the best deal for the shareholders. It is also unlikely that MS could go down from their $33/share bid that they already committed to. But I do see your point.

How is PostgreSQL clustering going? I heard that was a pain, whats your setup?

I haven't met any YC company that had regrets. Its not really the kind of experience one can regret.

The share button is so trivial to click and the sharing is forceful (i.e. it appears in my feed without me ever adding the friends or letting them share stuff with me implicitly) that I think it will actually be used a lot.

Good comment in post: "I feel terrible for all the 26 people who bought PlaysForSuren’t songs :-)" Reflects my feelings too. It seems like if enough people cared MS would just keep one of those servers running...

Nope. Dont like the idea for the reasons mentioned by others.

Kinda demanding, especially since you are saying the purpose of the information is to help YC competitors.

yeah approximately. And by consultants I mean grads that go and work for IT consultancies like Accenture, IBM, not grads that become consultants (which are relatively rare from my experience)

But wasn't Ebay always competing with CL even before Kijiji. The use cases are not very different, CL just does it through free listings and Ebay has auctions

In London, CS grads at banks get around $80k. IT consultants get $60k. You can't really survive on much less than that in London :)

I am sure they will for the 1bn+ Chinese speakers. Culture tends to spread based on economic supremacy. It has done in the past, do you have a reason to think it won't here beyond the language barrier?

it is not a product, just a prototype.

Amusing that the leak comes with invite codes, I can see Xobni was really annoyed about it :P

congrats. Can you share the acquisition value? :P

Are you the founder?

You would think they would all be swimming in money by now :P

also talk to Justin/Emmet before doing that.

Can you make estimates as to how much profit you would get through the profit-sharing agreement? That might be some basis for an exit. Would potential acquirors have to honor that deal? Between the 1k uniques a day and the technology, and t

Love the shouting. Hilarious: "made his name on an E.S.L. technique that one Chinese newspaper called English as a Shouted Language. Shouting, Li argues, is the way to unleash your “international muscles.” Shouting is the foreign-language s

The problem seems to be that life is a long time and most people who invest want to see returns in a short time. I guess banks could do it, but it seems unlikely that they would be the one to start. I once met someone who claimed to be an e

Thats interesting. We (Clickpass) are looking at making it easier to choose alternative IDPs. Will see if BHS fits in, although its name suggests privacy violation which it clearly is not :)

That is why that is step 7 and funding is step 6. Although I only mention exit. I will change it to say or other measurably success :)

I see! I knew I was missing something. That makes sense

It is more of a general concept of the ladder rather than the specifics of how things should rank. And it is about perceptions not true success. Personally if you tell me you have a startup that has $2m in funding from Sequoia I would think
