I can't imagine what social life would be like in New York City without bars, no one has room for guests in their apartments.

I don't really want to jump into this and cast judgments on anyone because I don't know the situation. That said, if you are/were a part-time angel, you either have done quite well for yourself or come from a privileged backg

Your cost per employee at an HFT firm is $10k per month? Sounds like not much of a salary & benefits for the employee, especially given the industry.

That's an oversimplification of the differences between San Francisco and New York. To begin with, it's a lot easier to travel between boroughs in New York than it is to travel between cities in the bay area. The coverage and avai

The unfortunate thing about this is a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money before either 1. Mainstream web security catches up to the cleverness of the bitcoin hackers or 2. People lose faith in bitcoin because the internet is gen

Another interesting question is, given that responses seem to be in the 2-7 hour range, for programmers that report 10+ hour days at your startup, where is that time going? Are you constantly working past the point of exhaustion? I can prod

Thanks for clarifying. That does make sense. I didn't mean to be too critical of your "Silence censorship" tagline, it is clever. But it is frustrating when something feels cleverly pitched without providing a clear explanati

I don't think most companies in the US give 4 weeks PTO. Currently I am contracting but at my last full time gig standard was 1 week, I pushed at hire time and got 2. What are other people's experience with this?
