   That's a good point, it's more known here in Europe. Anyway, I'd estimate that most people are against it after hearing about it.

   Well, I certainly don't advocate the current form of food stamps, rather I think it should be replaced with basic income. My point was that most people use arguments like "if people can get benefits without working, then nobody wo

   It's interesting how so many Americans are against basic income, when there's a form of basic income already: receiving food stamps while working in a full-time job. I don't see any problem with receiving benefits / basi

   Not all valid JavaScript is valid TypeScript, e.g. you can't use undeclared variables. The compiler can still output the .js file, though.

   You can use autoprefixer[1] to apply vendor prefixes automatically. In fact, CSS is madness without it in my opinion. 1. https://github.com/ai/autoprefixer

    Western countries where police are paid average wages don't seem to have much problem with corruption. Overpaying seems unnecessary.

    I don't agree with the authors conclucion. His reasoning seems to be that since TypeScript doesn't fix everything in JavaScript, then it's "not the answer". TypeScript makes large JavaScript applications more mainta

    As for the competition, Volkswagen e-Golf will have a range of 118 miles, Kia Soul EV a range of 124 miles and Nissan Leaf is rumored to have a 135 miles range by 2015.

    I never claimed Make is not often used. My point was that there are better tools than Make available these days. If someone is starting a new project, it makes sense to check if there are alternatives to Makefiles.

    I didn't propose that. The point is to read the file once, then do multiple steps on it, and write it out just once.

    by nawitus 13y ago

    Make uses disk I/O, which is really slow, and for complex projects become difficult to maintain. Also, why not use a proper programming language to define the build process? Well, a modern tool like Gulp[1] does that. It's streami

    Everyone seems to compare "doing YC" to "not doing YC", which is a false comparison. YC can easily be better than not doing anything, but that doesn't mean it's even close to the best alternative. You could&#x2

    Yes, YC is a good deal in an alternative reality where YC is the only choice. However, I talked about doing YC in the real world, where other alternatives exist.

    It's cheaper to pay people to help instead of giving equity.

    "the deal is a good one if it makes the company worth more than" Sure, if we assume that other deals are impossible. Which is a false assumption.

    The thing is, if you're good enough for YC, you can get $14k for ~0% of equity elsewhere.

    Or maybe founders who understand value, and can get a better deal elsewhere. Not everybody takes the YC hype at face value.

    No matter how you slice it, ~$14k for 6% is a terrible deal.
