sounds like google is replicating akamai. For folks that are interested in CDN, you should know about consistent hashing (helps to know about it in general): http://bit.ly/2P1wL [pdf] disclosure: I have worked at akamai in the past.

true about the image part. images shouldn't be gzipped, bad examples. It still stands for files less than 2-4 kB.

One scenario where using gzip might not be a good idea is when serving content less than 2-4 kB, like some thumbnails.

The idea is to figure out the list of firms that provide exploding termsheets.

The startups that come out of YC are excellent, and I am not questioning that.

some context. The first part regd. time of the day was asked since PG mentioned (not sure if it was an essay or a comment on HN) that he used to get mundane stuff done during the day, and then code from 9 pm to 3 am. This is not to say, PG

Wouldn't it help applicants in the future, if the current round of folks that applied to multiple programs to list: 1. The last day to accept for a particular program 2. The ones that offer exploding termsheets

Are there any stats on if more people get accepted on Day 1 or Day 2 or Day 3, in the mornings, afternoon's or in the evenings? For startups that were accepted, if the startups that interviewed prior and/or after were accepted?

If there are companies you feel you have to reach out and don't know anyone that can introduce you, call or email. Keep it short, reference why your product would be useful, ask who you should get in touch with for a call/meeting.

nice. thanks for digging into it! Do you think you could make this data public, maybe starting off with startups that didn't make it, including YC's comments when they were evaluated during the interview? I am sure there is a lot of great i

There is a pecking order, I guess the engineers figure somewhere and that makes it a question of when and not if they fire engineers/technical folks.

Most companies conveniently avoid doing a RCA (Root cause analysis) on why these folks were hired in the first place, who hired them, and who was responsible for created overlapping organizations . Firing that person would really help Goog
