I would actually be curious which lengths people go at the Visa Interview to get to the US. Yes there is the Visa Waiver Program for people who can so, but assuming you are working on your company, I doubt that technically legal. From my un

I appreciate that you don't discount me as a hater. That being said, it does feel quite off your core mission. What is your indication/evidence that people care more about ownership about the stuff they create than their actual identity onl

I know we had this discussion a lot, but I can't be the only one to find this trend a little disturbing. I seriously admired (and still do) the Diaspora guys for tackling probably the hardest problem there is, replacing facebook with a dist

I agree and wish I had not done that. But before I go through all the hassle and export everything, I want to make to make sure not to run into the exact same problem again.

IMHO the most important feature any service that I trust my most previous assets, my photos with, is the ease of which I can take my photos off. I currently have around 60 gigs of photos that I am in desperate need for an easy solution for

Having thoughtful, and considerate responses like these definitely helps. In my view there are two arguments within this discussion: Does college provide useful skills for later and is college worth these skills? I think sometimes both camp

I don't think you need to be anti-college to be able to criticize the cost explosion of college. I agree, the most valuable part of college are the ones outside the class room (the only reason why i am still in college), but ask yourself th

I think we have seen this trend for a while now. The fundamental question seems to be around how open/closed an essential part of the web experience can be. As always there is a delicate balance somewhere between crazy open and crazy closed

Making Oauth Providers seriously sucks. I kno people will out me for not being rigorous enough or not low-level enough, but I would really love if we could all band together and provide some reference, open source provider to build on top o

I was always wondering that. In essence, both cases appropriate CL's data for the users benefit, and both tend to send traffic back. I'm currently in a similar situation, where I have to ask myself how much i can scrape/aggregate/visualize

Not that I am even close to an expert, but I didn't kno that cap and discount were mutually exclusive. Does that mean if the valuation hits the cap, the discount does not apply? Can anybody confirm this?

I just want to clarify, I'm not commenting on the specific regulations in place, just about the general neccessity of regulations in this space. What happens in the case of an accident? Cab drivers are insured afaik, what happens to a Sidec

First of all, I love Uber, Sidecar and Lyft. I really think that they are the future of transportation. That being said, it's not that easy to just blame the public officials for all the chaos. It is a reasonable danger to these services, t

Just on quick thing to note: In order to get the O1 visa, you unfortunately have to brag to be able to show "extraordinary abilities" or "national/international acclaim".

I wasn't talking about the cost of YC. As an early stage company you go from 0 to 10mil. If you are already a 1-2 mil, where do you go?

I think you are answering your own question, with which I personally agree with. One question popped up though: which are the yc companies that entered YC at relatively later stage and were they successful/ beneficial to them to be in yc? Y

As said, I believe the major reason for there not being real competition is that enough people are fine with the current condition. We cannot assume that every niche can be served. I'm not doubting people download to "vent", but isn't that
