Most of it is based on volume - I have no idea what the entry point is for some of these things, but there are increments of data or access that are around that much. But no, I doubt you can pony up $100/mo and get a meaningful amount

I don't see that as Twitter's obligation. When someone does you a favor, or makes an exception for you, it's nice if they give you a reason when they end it, but it's not their responsibility.

This is a situation where one developer had a special exception carved out for them for a non-commercial project that everyone thought was cool. That access persisted for three years until someone made a decision that giving free access to

So, Twitter has long had two different classes of access: - "Twitter Developer" access - which is what you find here: https://dev.twitter.com/ - that includes a streaming API that is relatively limited in terms o

The last time I looked into these types of grants was admittedly years ago, but from what I recall, there's extensive reporting and research requirements that you have to fulfill. It seemed like an overly onerous burden compared to th

I'm sure it'll work for some people, but configuration management is one of those things where the devil isn't IN the details, the devil IS the details. What happens if you have binary files to move around that are big? How

See, these types of comments are (again) why people have negative opinions towards silicon valley types. You may be right, but a good sign for whom, exactly? For the people who lost their jobs? For shareholders? For fans of IBM the compa

If your opinion is that his orientation influenced/drove his ideals and motivations, it's relevant to mention. I don't think the gp is arguing that's the only way to have those ideals.

I didn't have a computer that could play civ 1, so I had to go to a friendly family's house who kindly allowed me to come over and play because the dad was equally addicted to Civilization. Whole saturday afternoons would pass th

I started playing civilization when I was 12 or 13 (Civilization 1), and still, to this day, the closest thing I have to meditation is playing Civ V. I travel a decent amount, and one of my great joys is being on a plane without wifi but

Right, but if the 10bn funding was at a high multiple relative to revenue, the 409a will probably still be a lot lower. I'm not saying that it would be at 2bn, but the GP was talking about people being granted options at 10bn, and pot

I obviously don't know the specifics of the dropbox option pool, but it's not uncommon to have employee options issued at a 409(a) valuation instead of the fundraising valuation. So even if money was raised at a 10bn valuation bas

It's worth noting that the money received from the peer-to-peer lending counts as income, and hence can be taxed quite highly if you're already a high-income individual and/or live someplace with a state income tax. I investe
